 Care of Magical Creatures Chalkboard
A dusty chalkboard protected by miniature sliding barn doors rests on the outside of the Hogwarts barn.
This is where Williamson posts all notices regarding upcoming lessons and special Creature care opportunities.
NOTE: This is NOT an RP thread. It's a classroom rules and notices thread.
IC Rules- Respect. Respect the creatures. Respect the materials. Respect your professor. Respect your classmates. Respect yourself. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated, especially if it is placing a creature or a person in danger.
- Preparation. Be smart and be ready for class with all required materials. Some tips: You should probably always have a pair of dragonhide gloves on you at all times. Don't wear your uniform skirt if we're going to be flying on thestrals. If it's winter, wear a coat. Common sense stuff.
- Punctuality. When class starts, it STARTS. We always have a lot of material to cover and a lot of creatures to discover. If you're late, not only will you miss some knowledge, but you'll also miss those house points I'll take from ya.
- Behavior. All Hogwarts rules always apply. No human food or drink is permitted anywhere near the animals for any reason whatsoever. It is a liability. Finish eating or drinking before you enter the classroom enclosure. Along that note, do not do anything deliberately stupid to harm yourself or your peers. SAFETY COMES FIRST in the Care of Magical Creatures realm.
OOC Rules- Snitchseeker.com rules apply at all times.
- Announcements will be posted in this thread prior to the opening of a lesson. Please share those with your housemates/in your common room.
- Try not to blend IC and OOC. Don't be offended by character behavior. We're all friends here. <3
- When writing/reacting in class, try to be true and realistic to your characters, their age, year, and skill set. Marking of lessons is done through a purely OOC lens, meaning RPs where a character fails at a task will be rewarded the same as those students who succeed. As long as you are participating and enjoying, you will reap the rewards.
- All students in all years are welcome to participate in RP'd lessons. However, Care of Magical Creatures is an elective, so bear that in mind.
- Catch-up is permitted at any time during a lesson, though not an obligation if you are joining a lesson late.
- If you're not online when class starts, that's fine, but if you ANNOUNCE your late arrival IC, you lose points. So just go with the flow and pretend your character has been there all along.
- Do not plagiarize each other nor steal entire answers off the internet. Originality and confusion and mess-ups are welcomed and appreciated.
- Try not edit your post for any reason other than coding mishaps, spelling/grammatical mistakes, or overlooked interactions with others.
- Have fun! If you know me at all, you should know I'm up for anything and will happily RP with you. Please drop me a PM or VM if you have an idea for an RP, an animal you want to adopt, any of that.
