The cloudy gray November afternoon sky is reflected in the ceiling, but the Great Hall itself is kept warm and cozy by an array of floating candles. The four house tables are in their normal places, and there is a red button at each seat. Each table is full of nutritious snacks scientifically proven to boost brain power. There are pots of coffee and tea, as well as water and fruit juices. On the food side, there are fruits and berries, nuts and seeds, and small bars of dark chocolate. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not combine some of everything to create your own trail mix?

The throne-like seat normally reserved for the headmaster is positioned in front of the staff dais, rather than behind it as usual. Professor Carton sits in the chair, casually observing the arriving students. Two curious-looking objects sit on the staff dais behind him. On his right side is a 6x5 gridwith squares marked with various numbers. On his left is a glass cabinet with four shelves. The first shelf holds various school supplies; the second a selection of Honeydukes candies; the third an array of creature plushes; and the fourth several games, such as Wizards Chess, Exploding Snap, and Snitch Snatcher.

“Hello, welcome in!” Profesor Carton greets the students. “Sit at whichever table you like, but please don’t touch the red buttons yet.”

OOC: Welcome to the Quiz Bowl meeting! This rp is open to all Hogwarts students & professors. As this is not a lesson, you may play both of your characters if you wish. We’ll begin in 24-36 HOURS.

Professor Carton will announce the category and point value for each question before reading the clue. Questions will be randomly assigned. 2. Players are to buzz in to answer each question. Teams are allowed, but only one person needs to buzz in to answer. Answers given without buzzing in WILL NOT count! 3. Answers must be phrased in the form of a question (“What is a Golden Snitch?”) to count. 4. Each correct answer within the time allotted earns the points assigned to that question. You DO NOT have to be first to buzz in to receive points! (OOC: there will be 16-24 HOURS for each question. Players are free to join the game at any time but WILL NOT receive points for prior questions once Professor Carton has announced the correct answer and moved on.) 5. Points earned can be redeemed for prizes at the end of the game, so please keep track of your scores! (OOC: Please title each game post with your team (if applicable) and your current score) 6. OOC: Feel free to PM me with any questions! __________________ Old voices I had thought long since dead whisper of another life I might have led If I could take that second chance, If I could make my life anew, If only dreams came true...
