Hi all I've been thihnking of a neat idea for the sarah game. Since the harry potter books have stated more than once that the bloody baron is the only one that can control peeves, I have thought of the following idea: Sarah should have 3 opportunities to call the bloody baron in extreme cases. This should be done through the mirror dobby gave her. In other words, when sarah highlights the mirror from her inventory, she should have 2 persons to call: dobby and the bloody barron. If she calls dobby, the normal thing should happen. Dobby must give her a hint. And on the sixth floor dobby must give sarah either socks or butter beer if she calls him through the mirror. Secondly, if sarah selects bloody baron from her mirror and hit enter, the bloody baron should aparate from where it is, either from the astronomy tower or slytheren common room. He then should aparate from his current location and control peeves for some time. He should do one of 2 things with peeves. Either grab peeves and aparate with him to one of the bloody baro'ns hang out places. Or he should control peeves in some way, maybe holding him stil in his grip for a while. The harry potter books did not precisely described how the bloody barron controls peeves. But I SUSPECT HE GETS PEEVES IN HIS GRIP AND EITHER HOLD HIM stil FOR A WHILE AND LET GO OF him or take peeves with him to where he hangs out. But sarah should only get 3 opportunities during the entire game to get the bloody baron to control peeves. An example of an extreme case would be if sarah is reading books in the library and peeves often pests her. After the bloody barron controlled peeves, he should immediately aparate from where he came. The bloody baron should only take a bit of sarah's energy away if she touches the bloody barron when she visits the slytheren common room or astronomy tower. Or another extreme case where the bloody baron's help may be needed is: if sarah has used all her stunning an patronous spells. Lets say sarah only has aparate spells left. Lets say the player is in the headmaster's office and is about to pick up dumbledor's wand. Suddenly the player hears peeves. Some people, if they apparate, find it difficult to get to dumbledor's office again, as the broom cupboard is situated in the entrance hall of the headmaster's office. So lets say that this new feature is implemented: instead of aparating and having to find your way again into dumbledor's office you call the bloody barron through your mirror and he then controls peeves for a while so that you can find dumbledor's wand. In other words, sarah should only use these 3 opportunities in extreme cases If the player calls the bloody barron when peeves is not around, the game should simply not respond.
