Maybe by "needling the thread" she means sewing.... That's what makes sense to me! 3nodding

I was thinking so, as well. Needlework. It's not the area before a tapestry, though...I tried that one.

above the place where you needle the thread...
Perhaps... above a chest of clothing... in a dormitory???

Yay!! Three more hints!!IceeWitch Hint 5: (Unscramble) tacidenc
Hint 6: (What am I?) Did you ever wonder what Miss Trunchbull, Armando Dippet, and Arcana all had in common? Well the answer's quite simple really...me! I'm the best, the top, and the senior of you, Actually, there's really no one that can tell me what to do! I'm mostly private, although sometimes abroad, if you're not on my good list, then you must be quite odd. I act as an administrator and in some cases, mediator Now be a dear and tell me what I may be.
Hint 7: (Lucky number!) (Interchange words) Hagrid went to the store to buy shoes. Elmo went to the store to buy shoes. Tickle me Elmo! I know the answers to hints 5 and 6, but I'm completely stuck on hint 7. It sounds like we're supposed to switch some of the words around, and that the answer will be a number. Could someone please tell me if this is right, and explain to me what we're supposed to do with hint 7 if it's not?
@Alutian: The area before a tapestry??? I'm confused...

Above the place where you needle the thread. Translated to above the place where sewing/needlework is done. Translated to the air or space above something like a tapestry (which Hogwarts has a lot of) which translates to the air in front of a hanging tapestry. I was incorrect.
As for hint seven, it has nothing to do with numbers. Icee was just commenting on the number seven being lucky. It's the 'interchange words' that has me. What are we interchanging them with?

Oh, OK. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
I REALLY don't understand hint 7, for exactly the same reason that you just said. What are we supposed to interchange the words with? Maybe we're supposed to switch the words around within the sentences? Although, that doesn't make much sense either.

Some help from Icee on hint 7:IceeWitch To solve the Interchange Words part use this:
I'm a mathematician so the best way to describe it would be mathematical terms.
Transition Property. A=B, B=C, then A=C. With that said apply the property to the problem.

Well, we did this in geometry, and I think me and my friend get it... You have to like, relate them all... A=B, B=C, therefor A=C A=C is Hagrid went to the store to buy shoes=Tickle me elmo! That led me to "Tickle me Hagrid!" which led Amanda to Norbert!!! If that makes sense... sweatdrop

My reply to frontline_cutie (read at your own risk if you don't want to be getting possible answers at all):
Okay, I got Tickle Me Hagrid as well, but that makes no sense. And Norbert? He has nothing to do with it, I wouldn't think.

I see how you got (in white)Tickle me Hagrid but I have no idea what that means.
@frontline_cutie: how did you come up with Norbert?

(white) Yes. I can. If Norbert(a) does have something to do with hint 7, then we need to figure out how it fits in with the rest of the hints.

mandy ran into the room and threw herself on her bed, relaxing after the mass ammounts of limbo-ing and dancing.
"ffew! good first day at hogwarts!" she sat up and looked around at the other students in the room.
"whatsup? i didnt get the chance to figure out any of the clues."
i didnt have tnat much time online. ^^; hopefully i can get the next event.
