[Special Holiday Quest: Irish Luck
Do you feel lucky punk? Well, do ya? Well, let's test it with a small scavenger hunt.
Objective: Collect 777 four-leaf clovers (429/777)
Objective: Find 3 horseshoes (3/3)
Objective: Catch a Leprechaun (1/1)
Reward: ?]
The horseshoes had been relatively easy to find as Hagrid had plenty laying around in his hut for when he needed to shoe the Thestrals. The Leprechaun had been harder, but thanks to Hermes' tracking ability they were able to find a small village a few dozen miles away in the forest. Hermes and his remaining doll were able to kidnap one without much trouble and travel back to school before lunch time had even ended.
The only real problem was the four-leaf clovers. There just wasn't enough time to find so many before the end of the day nor could I transfigure them, so I cheated.
Well maybe not cheated per say, but more as delegate some of the work onto others. I was popular enough where people would actually listen to what I had to say, and with Eric backing me up I was able to set up this entire event together.
This has also served as a good way to promote my modified movie projector. Right now, I only had 'The Princess Bride' but I was working on adding more movies later on. 'How did I get them?' you might be wondering.
The answer was simple, I bought the local movie theater using a fake identity and some of the money given to me by my other business. It was good to have legitimate businesses to hide some of my dirty money too.
I looked to see who was next in line and saw a surprising sight.
"Well, well, I didn't expect you here Daphne," I said amused as the blonde heiress waltzed into the middle of the Ravenclaw common room as if she owned it.
All chattering had ceased in the room, yet she seemed unbothered by the stares.
"Charles," she stated calmly. "Rumor has it, you've thought of something rather interesting."
Drumming my fingers on the table I nodded, "I might have."
"And here I thought, we were friends," she said with a fake sad expression. "You didn't even think of inviting me."
I just gave her a shrug, "What can I say? It was last minute."
"Ah, I see, last minute. Then I suppose there's no problem with joining you now," she asked with a smile.
There was a brief staring contest between us before I finally smiled back, "Well I suppose not. After all, we should do our best to promote inter-House relations."
"Glad you agree then," she said, turning back to the entrance and snapping her fingers. The door opened and a file of green robed students walked in carrying jars filled with four-leaf clovers.
"Whistle. I'll admit, I'm impressed," I said looking back at her. I had to give her points for the show of power, marching a dozen Slytherins inside enemy territory certainly took some guts.
All of them exchanged their jars for movie tickets, some looking rather sour at having to do it, before finally walking away.
The last one was Daphne, who took the ticket with a smug smile, "Next time you have something planned, do tell me."
Once she was gone, I looked around to the others, "We really need to get better security than a riddle."

Room of Requirements:-
[Special Holiday Quest: Irish Luck
Do you feel lucky punk? Well, do ya? Well, let's test it with a small scavenger hunt.
Reward: Lucky Charm Bracelet, LUK stat is doubled for the remainder of the day.
LUK: 60 (30+30)]
Oh, that gives me an idea, but first.
[Lucky Charm Bracelet-Rank: Special
A golden bracelet with small lucky charms.
Effect: 200% increase of lucky during games of chance.
Effect: Increases the amount of money in drops.]
A shame it wasn't a Legendary item, but it was still better than nothing. I put it on my right hand and opened my inventory window.
So far, I've been putting it off until my LUK was higher but now seemed like as good a time as any.
[Random Item Dice- Rank: Special
A 20-sided dice made up of an unknown material with blue glowing numbers. Rolling the die will give you an item that can range from Poor to Special. Can only be used once.]
Dice should be classified as a game of chance so the buff from the bracelet should activate.
Grabbing the small dice, I flicked it in the air and watched it fall onto the stone floor. It bounced around for a bit before finally rolling away.
'Do let it be something useful,' I thought as I watched it slow down and finally settle.
I was unable to see what it had landed on before it started to glow white and transform into a ring. I bent and picked it up.
[Ring of Water Breathing- Rank: A Little Special
A blue wooden ring with engravings of sea animals.
Effect: Gives one the ability to breathe underwater.]
"Ugh. I suppose it was too much to hope for a skill book or a blueprint that could help me in making the magic converter," I said with a small disappointed sigh. "Looks like I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way."
Oh well, at least now I'd solved my little breathing problem when I entered the Underwater Dungeon. Though that still left the problems of how I was supposed to move and attack, seeing as most of my fighting style required me to be quick on my feet and use potions. Perhaps I could create some type of mechanical shark or underwater explosives.
Either way, it would have to wait until I cleared the Zombie Dungeon. The latest mini-boss was proving to be a real pest. We were currently in a stalemate with neither one of us being able to hit the other.
I put the ring in my inventory for the moment and turned to face Hermes, who was in the middle of enjoying a snack.
"Do those actually taste good?" I asked as I watched him swallow the remainder of the fairy.
