Get your recap hats on kids!

Not much has happened in the lazy days of summer! The journals glitched and repelled all the ink for a few days and a Magical wizarding camp for kids went on for a week.

In the weeks ahead there will be the Quidditch World Cup taking place August 11th and 12th as well as a festival in Diagon Alley August 20th to 24th!

We're going to try something new! Constance-mun made a great suggestion about a rumor post and honestly, it's a school based game so rumors should be everywhere! The first comment will be dedicated to where you can post true or false rumors of your character that you think would get around the school and journal system. You are not allowed to post rumors for characters that are not your own unless it is a joint plot!

Get your recap hats on kids!

School is out now and students are all home safe and sound! No magic outside of school though unless you're 17 and older. Event wise, nothing much, except for the teachers or Hogwarts way too, much, fun on a staff trip.

On the OOC front, July is starting and we'll have a list of the upcoming events on a mod post soon enough. We're going to try something new!

Time for some recapping!

Since last time, we've had a broom cleaning fundraiser that attracted several new and old faces, including some that were a little too familiar for some's comfort. We also had a dance where everyone got their groove on. Or at least, their awkward teenager on. And finally, the time to say goodbye has arrived, as the Hogwarts Express is leaving. Enjoy your last moments with your schoolmates!


In the OOC front, remember it's Activity Check time, and please take the time to post in the HMD either to get crit, or to give it.

Recapping it like there is no tomorrow!

Since the last time, there have been all kinds of animal shenannigans, like Dragon Eggs being given out to the students to care for. People really got in to it and went all out. Exams are coming up and people are getting ready to pass or fail. Dave amd Wilbur won the egg contest, showing that even the silliest boys can raise a baby. Ravenclaw won the Quidditch match! It was the last one for the year, at least until the World Cup is up for viewing. Also, all the make-up went missing, and it wasn't to cover up a hickey! The girls went mad and tears were had. The school became less furry when all of the animals sprouted flesh and looked like humanslooked like humans.

For up coming events, A fundraiser next weekend where the students will be maintaining brooms for some Witches and Wizards. A School dance is also on the 15th!

On the OOC/Administrative front, we got new mods to take the place of the ones who stepped down. There is also a Mod Plurk to follow/fan so you can get all your SH updates.

Please expect a post about 4th Wall in the next day to two days.

Recap time!

Since last time, there's been a bit of good old fashioned pureblood ignorance as to how muggle things such as electricity works" Students have also been gearing up for exams, and have been looking forward to the summer. Some birthdays were celebrated, some more appreciated than others. Additionally, some of the professors are planning some trips, which are sure to be a lot of fun! Finally, Dumbledore himself has announced a project to pair individuals up with a fake dragon egg.

In the OOC front, we say goodbye to Leafy-mod and Kabby-mod, who have both decided to step down from their positions. The poll for OCs has come to a close, and with it the decision has been reached to allow OCs in the game. The OC application should be coming in the near future, so keep an eye out for that! Mod Applications also end tonight at 12 AM EST, and our new mods will be introduced soon!

Pairings for the dragon event can be found here just as a reminder. Gryffindor Vs. Ravenclaw will be held on the 26th of May, so don't forget to submit those inputs. Speaking of Quidditch, there are LOTS of spots on the teams that could really use filling, so sign up your character! Also don't forget to get your get your AC in!

And finally Do as the sparklepeens say!

Hey y'all! It's that time again!

Since last recap, some teachers have assigned homework, and fifth and seventh years especially are starting to feel the crunch. But in the meanwhile, Kurt is planning a party and needs everyone's help to make it ~fabulous~. There also seems to be a rash of shenaniganry in the library, on the grounds, and around the castle. Even the teachers are getting into it. Don't you want to be part of it too?

On the OOC front, we've gotten a bunch of new characters recently. Yay! Let's keep this up! A new [personal profile] app_this_plz is going up today, so don't forget to shop around for that ideal castmate or that dream cross-canon CR! The mods also put up a post about allowing OCs, with a poll that we'd like everyone to vote on. You have another week to get that in, so don't forget to make your voice heard! The inactivity list also went up, so if you're on it, make sure to check in with us so we know you're still around!

As an additional reminder, don't forget to tag your posts. That means posts (and logs) you comment on as well as ones you post yourself! It makes things so much easier for everyone, especially when AC time rolls around, so no more of these posts with 50 comments and a single tag, okay? Also since there's been a lot of open logs going on, don't forget that we also have an OPEN tag on the logs comm, for easy browsing! (But you have to use it.)

Aloha, Hatters! Since last recap, there has been lots of news about families at Sorting Hat. But for the rest of students, life goes on, exams draw ever closer, and we welcomed a handful of new characters.

A lot has been up on the OOC front. We bid Kris-mod goodbye, and AC and the HMD went up. It's never too late to post to the HMD, and there's still time to make AC! Teacher, TA, and staff member apps are currently closed.

There's also the FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION POST. We strongly encourage you guys leave your thoughts there; we want to hear from everyone.

Recap time!

Since the last one, there was a Quidditch Match between Hufflepuff and Slytherin, with Hufflepuff coming out victorious. The new announcer certainly added some spice to the game, though a lot of people would disagree there. Hogwarts has also seen several new additions to the staff, while a Field Trip is being planned by the Head of Hufflepuff.

The Easter Holidays also started and with them many of the students went home for the holidays, which means the castle has been pretty quiet over the last few days, though the teachers have been sure to remind everyone that homework is still due after break!

On the mod front, there is nothing to report aside from Head of Gryffindor votes!

Since our last recap, Easter hols were still the talk of the town, until the parents showed up. A lot of people had a lot to say about that. Especially those whose parents weren't especially... lively. It's okay, some professors are here for you if you still need to talk. Even though they've been gone for a week now (well, those that actually left, anyway), it still seems to be all anyone can think about. But there's only a week left before going back home-- to see your parents again. Anyway hey! Quidditch is coming up!

Since our last recap, there's been some discussion of Easter, a rap battle has gone down, and Gryffindor and Hufflepuff went at it on the Quidditch pitch, with a victory for Gryffindor!

We also had our activity check, so be sure to check if you're on the inactivity list! If you are, we need to hear back from you by March 15th.

Coming up, we have Easter Holiday starting the 31st, but before then, be on the look-out for some up-coming plots, including a Parents' Day on the 18th! Details will be coming soon.

Hey Hatters, it's time for a recap!

Since last recap, Valentine's Day went off without a hitch as the students celebrated in their own unique ways. Some aftermaths of these were better than others, some were completely disastrous. Of course the appearance of the red strings on most peoples' fingers only led to more disaster for some; it seems being young and dealing with matters of love is hard even when you have magic at your disposal.

Otherwise all was quiet on the Hogwarts front, although Gryffindor did get a new Head of House in the form of Leon Kennedy. Hopefully he can help keep away the Inferi!

Can't stay quiet for long, though! There is a Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor on the horizon!

Although it was quiet on the administrative front as well, there is a bitty general CR/plotting meme waiting in the wings.

Yo Hatters, it's time for a recap!

Since last recap, Hogwarts saw its first major snowstorm of the year, and it was Magical! There was also a Quidditch game between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, with Ravenclaw coming out victorious! The student body has also been furiously preparing for Valentine's day! But their happy spirits were squashed when Dumbledore revealed that an Unforgivable Curse had been used by a student.

Everyone was quick to point fingers at one another, but eventually things quieted down, though the culprit remains at large. Despite that, everyone is gearing up for the Hogsmeade trip, which is conveniently coinciding with Valentine's day.

There isn't a whole lot to report on in the Administrative front, but we do still encourage Professors and Prefects to award points. Professors are also encouraged to do Homework posts, so students have a chance to earn points!

Additionally, there are also still several Quidditch position open for Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw, so sign your characters up. There are also Prefect positions for all Houses that should be filled, so don't be afraid to do that!

Kabby-mod also posted a lovely Established CR Meme! which is a great way to build CR!

Sub bubs, it's recap time!

Since last recap, Galen's incendiary remarks have continued to make waves among the students and staff, prompting several discussions on how much merit there really is to blood purity, and whether Dumbledore can expel someone for fighting words. Oh, and Galen and Kid each lost their house 50 points, putting Slytherin squarely in the negatives. SURELY THAT WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE RAVENCLAW-SLYTHERIN QUIDDITCH GAME COMING UP THIS WEEKEND. Both teams have been training hard to face off on Sunday, and interhouse tensions are running high! It's even got the Gryffindor team excited; or at least Graham, who decided on a mass team purge to get some new blood in preparation for next month. But before things could get too tense, Yong Soo decided to wish everyone a happy lunar new year by infesting the school with purple geckos tiny dragons. That made everything fun again!

In administrative news, we want everyone to put in the effort to earn house points! Teachers, that means assigning homework. Students, that means submitting homework! And of course, points can always be doled out (and taken away) for other things as well. Also, don't forget to tag your posts!! Finally, there will be a fun event starting this Sunday, just in time for the quidditch match!

So it's time for a recap! And quite a few things have happened. Many students went home for the Christmas holidays and everyone enjoyed a fun, yet calm break. Upon arriving back at school, Karkat Vantas ended up causing quite a stir. Hogwarts barely had a chance to get over that particular drama before Galen started a heated argument over blood purity, and a bunch of students went Ice Skating on the frozen lake. Additionally, ex-Death Eater Antonio Fernández joined the school staff, along with Matthew Williams.

In Administrative news, we closed briefly to move over to Dreamwidth and opened back up a few days later! In doing so, the setting was switched to after Lord Voldemort's defeat, and the Application was made a lot easier.

And lastly, there was also a very important Mod Post that was posted, which everyone should read and comment on!
