Fall of 2072 (IC-wise)



Welcome to Hufflepuff!

We would like to give our newest additions to Hufflepuff a warm welcome and hope you're enjoying yourselves so far! Congratulations on being sorted into our house of gold and black, we hope you're loving it and if not we assure you Hufflepuff and all it's members will grow on you before you realize it.

Welcome back to the older students as well, please make sure to try setting a good example not only for the first years but on how a true Hufflepuff should present our house. In other words Hogwarts is not a zoo, refrain from acting like monkeys outside of the privacy of the common room lounge.

As you should now be aware, there is no Quidditch to take part in this term. Instead we are welcoming our friends from Durmstrang and Beauxbaton to take part in the TriWizard Tournament. Please make them all feel at home, and if you are of age and entering the competition yourself- GOOD LUCK!


The Herald's History

The Hufflepuff Herald is your number one source of information concerning everything school-related. This is the 16th edition of the Herald, which has switched hands several times: Nabiya MacPherson, Raymond Luxury-Yacht, Evy Abagnale, Evan Cassels, Evzen Ferez, Caitlin White, Amelia Rose, Savannah Mae, Seth Paton, Kayla Winters, Dominic Denton, Tamzin Wood, Kaika Lockhart, Torin Kane and Miranda BelCanto have all been editors of the Herald. Your current editors are Sarah Griffin (MeredithRodneyMcKay), Cedric Leone (Wenzlebug) and Lori Bristol (Shanners).

(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 92091.

What year are we supposed to be in?
It's currently the year of 2072-73.

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 Hogwarts, A History; it should help answer a lot of your questions.

Is there a Head Boy and Girl? Are there Prefects?
Indeed there is! They are Oliver Greenwood (noodles) and Sarah Griffin (MeredithRodneyMcKay) 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, Wenz (Wenzlebug), Shannon (Shanners) or our lovely HoH (Tailzerr). You can also go to 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.
4. Unnecessary chatting in the classroom will not be tolerated.
5. Keep OOC comments to a 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!
