Fall of 2076 (IC-wise) Welcome to Hufflepuff!
A very warm COOL and enthusiastic welcome to our newly sorted Hufflepuffs, we hope you guys are having fun already! Congratulations on having the honor of belonging in the best House ever our House of gold and black, it is certainly a joy for us all to have you in it, however, if you do not share the same joy I assure you that Hufflepuff and all its members will grow on you before you realize it.
But not everything is about our newest additions, for all you returning students are equally important to us. You know the rules, and you’re bound not to get lost by now, so, please set a good example around the school, remember you represent Hufflepuff, so, do as a true Badger will do. In other words, Hogwarts is not a zoo, refrain from acting like monkeys, or zebras, or whatever animal you deem appropriate, outside (and inside as well) the privacy of the Common Room lounge.
Now, the most important part…have fun (do try to study in the meantime), despite rumors there is no man-eating plant on the grounds, but their is an adorable baby elf in the kitchens!

(OOC) F.A.Q.
Where can I find my member number?
You can find your member number by clicking on your username to view your profile, and then by looking at the number at the end of the link. For example, mine would be 103589.
What year are we supposed to be in?
It's currently the year of 2076-77.
Do I have to do the homework and attend classes?
No, it is not mandatory. However, if you want to earn house points for Hufflepuff, completing homework and participating in the classes is the best way to do it.
What does OOC mean?
OOC means ''Out Of Character'', while IC means ''In Character''.
How can I get involved in the school story? I feel so out of everything.
There are so many ways to get your character involved in the RPG! The best ways are having them join the Quidditch team, participate in the classes, and meet other students! Also, if you're confused about what's going on in the school's plot line, take a look at the What in Merlin's Beard thread; it should help answer a lot of your questions.
Is there a Head Boy and Girl? Are there Prefects?
Indeed there is! They are Treyen Lockhart (Lockhartian) and Vashti Greenwell (AlwaysSnapesGirl), and can be identified by a Head Boy and Girl Tag, respectively, under their usernames. In addition, there are still two Prefects for each house, and they will be designated by a Prefect's Badge under their username.
If you have any other questions feel free to PM myself, Karla (Lockhartian), Emily (hpluvr037), or our super amazing HoH Jess (PhoenixRising), or House mod Sarah (MeredithRodneyMcKay). You can also go to the Question Thread as well.
Classroom Tips
1. Respect your teachers and classmates.
2. If you come online while the class is already going on, do not announce that you are late. Simply act like your character’s been there the whole time, otherwise teachers will deduct points from our house.
3. If you’ve got to leave before the end of the lesson, do not announce it, or more points will be lost.
4. Unnecessary chatting in the classroom will not be tolerated.
5. Keep OOC comments to a bare minimum.
6. When the teacher asks a question, feel free to raise your hand and offer an answer. The quickest answers as well as the most creative answers can be rewarded with house points.
7. Please be patient if the professor doesn’t answer you straight away. We all live in different timezones and have other responsibilities in real life, so it is possible the teacher had to leave for a few minutes/hours.
8. Be creative and have fun!
