 What in Merlin's Beard . . .?! (Term 13)
A bit confused about the plot? Housemates talking about a mysterious something going bump in the night? Here's where you can catch up on happenings around the Castle, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade -- Out of Character of course.
That means that unless your student character heard this stuff from other students, your student character doesn't know about it.
Oh, and a reminder to all to only post updates on the school plot here. Chat goes in the school chat thread.
Have fun!
_________________________________ The school term has barely ended and the events from the past term continue to unfold as the summer holiday inches to a close. Diagon Alley *The Wedding: Professors Doyle Branxton and Cassandra Rae are finally married over the summer holiday and have a public wedding reception at the Leaky Cauldron. However, their happiness is rudely interrupted by an article in the Daily Prophet that contains distressing news. There is a mixed reaction in the room to the article. *An Unexpected Encounter: Anjelica Lainey unexpectedly bumps into an old foe - Voldemortist. A lengthy conversation between the two happens, with Voldemortist (who last term was disguised as a Slytherin student named Matt) who compliments Lainey on her History of Magic lessons. Lainey emerges a bit shaken from the encounter. Hogwarts Express *Another Year Begins: Students and a few staff enjoyed a relatively uneventful trip to the school. New friends were made, old friends reunited, and new rivalries were born. Sorting Feast *Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!: Headmistress Rae welcomed everyone to a new term and introduced new members of the staff. However, she could not avoid the burning question that was in everyone's mind - is the school safe? Term 13 *A Repeat of Last Term?: Students from all houses can't seem to grasp the concept of earning and not losing points. Brawls, bickering, and hexing each other and the professors is not the way to win the House Cup! *Mysterious Notes Return: After two terms of silence, another note has been found by the ever-elusive Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlett. The notes were left in the hallways and at the House tables in the Great Hall. *"Wear Shoes": Say it isn't so, Headmistress! Samea strikes an enticing deal with Professor Rae (sole haunting priviledges of the Third Floor corridor for the remainder of the school term) in return for doing the Headmistress's biding. The pesky poltegeist was quick to visit every professor and delivered the notice of a secret meeting in the staff lounge. Samea couldn't help but remind the professors to "wear shoes." *"When 7 ate 9" - The Meeting: Staff members debate over the fate of the Book of Mysteria. Verbal jabs are tossed back and forth between a few, and even one professor finds everyone suspicious. Too bad there is only one perfect 7 in the bunch. But all eccentricities aside, the fate of the book lies in their hands. *Cast Your Vote!: Samea has set up an impromptu polling booth on the Third Floor corridor and is yelling at the students to vote on the fate of the Book of Mysteria. When the pesky poltergeist's motives are questioned by Kay Harrison of Ravenclaw, it's answers are cryptic regarding the possible fate of Deputy Headmistress, Angelica Lainey. |
