With a heavy sigh, she pushed Vivi on poor Doyle and stood to clap her hands. "It's now or never. Students! Good evening, and welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My name is Headmistress Cassandra Rae-Branxton, and I'm pleased to greet you on this lovely night."

She gave a smile to the room at large. "I'd like to point out our new Groundskeeper, and to welcome back all the former professors. I'd also like to thank you for your remarkable decorum during this feast. I know there's a temptation to act like animals instead of proper witches and wizards, but you've done a lovely job."

"At this time, you may finish eating, and we will be leaving for our dormitories soon enough. Remember that classes begin soon, so you'll want to be well rested and ready to soak up knowledge. And now... let's eat!"

Short speech, I notice. And no . . . enigmatic introductions or hints, either . . . Hmmm . . .

Hurrah! The feast is over!

The school RPG is open. Have a good poke around the place, as there are many secrets to unfold. Make sure you don't get lost

Liam Mosier passed away at the lake while Moica Black tried to save him using CPR.

Professor Dresden taught his first potions class, acting rather odd and sporting an interesting new hair colour.

What is wrong with Adam?

The first Transfiguration, Astronomy and History of Magic classes have taken place. Homework is up. =)

Lainey was sporting all pink for her class, by the way. -blink-

The "Badger club" has revealed their secret to Professor Clark. Oh yes, that is correct... they have a baby badger cub in their midst!

Ravenclaw Prefect Juno Novak got a signature on a liiiittle slip of paper the other day in the Ravenclaw Common Room. Whose signature? Why the Head of Houses'!! Being the glory hog he is, Prof. Vindictus happily signed his "autograph" on this slip of paper- a permission slip to get into the Restricted Section of the Library.

What is our dual colored eyed, prank loving, Prefect up to...?

Some of the students have been acting veeeery strange:

Clue 1

Clue 2 (Read from here down)

Clue 3

Clue 4

Suspicious much?


Me: K. I hath fixied the problem (Me thinks). Thankies, Nabs!

Huzzah!

Animals, animals! Everywhere! Hmm. Noticed a few changes in usernames around the place?

Slytherin Prefect, Cassandra Trelawney asked the Charms Professor, Professor Doyle Branxton at the feast if he could help her with her memory charm. She was in the Charms Office with Branxton when she accedentally obliviates him.

So now he's lost all knowledge of being at Hogwarts and thinks he's at the ministry. Trelawney panics, he's not just any professor, he's the Headmistress's husband... and the deputy headmaster! In an attempt to bring him to the Hospital Wing, they run into the Divination Professor, Natasha Blaylock, and the History of Magic Professor, Anjelica Lainey in the third floor corridor.

Not really understanding what has happened to him, and Trelawney not really coming clean with the facts, Lainey instructs the prefect to take him to a healer! Branxton instead, not feeling like he needs a sitter, decides to to leave Hogwarts to go to the ministry to figure stuff out. He steps out of school grounds to disapparate, but not before Cassandra, in an attempt to keep him from harming himself, grabs onto his arm and he apparates the both of them off Hogwarts grounds and into the MINISTRY ATRIUM!

They make their way to the third floor, Magical Accident's and Catastrophes, and there they encounter Clara Belle, who is not ONLY the Minister's future Bride to be, but also the Daily Prophet Editor. Attempting to keep the woman off the scent of a story, Trelawney makes up another story, which now makes Branxton believe she's lying and up to something as her story keeps changing.

He is getting ready to bring her to the Second floor (Magical Law Enforcement) to have the prefect arrested when an employee of the Magical Accident's and Catastrophes, Lance Finbal, shows up followed by the department head, Madeline Grau.

Trelawney finally comes clean, admitting to having hit Branxton with a memory charm, and all would have been well, had Clara Belle not been there. She began writing down notes for an article she would write for the Prophet when an Obliviator, Jason Killin, bumped into Belle, and made her angry.

The Minister of Magic, Brennan Cooper (or BrenBren as Clara calls him) was informed that Branxton was in the building and had requested for his Senior UnderSecretary, Reagan Taylor, retrieve him personally.

(more to come)

I see trel I saw you and the professer yesterday I was about to step into it as Dan but I stayed away. Well the plot is thickning Monica Black and her brotheR are muttating what is going on.

they shake it off as a bug and plan something with Barry weasly and Ray Hufflepuff but before the plan is put into action it grows and Monica and her brother rush off to the hospital wing. The Nurse takes too long and while there Adam the professer has the same problem.

Monica Black runs to the lake and tells Josh Moonstone something before the transform is complete and then becomes a cat and runs away into the forest and her brother becomes a fox. Now no one knows where they are my charecter Barry Weasly is on the look out for any news about this and everey time he sees a coson he asks about what is going on.

[I have no idea whats going to happen next]

Before Cassandra's conundrums, all the prefects and the quidditch captains had a meeting in the Prefect's lounge to discuss the fact that some kids have changed into animals and that Hufflepuff Prefect Amelia heard Dresden roaring behind closed doors.

Not much really came of the rather unpleasant meeting but the prefects and captains have divided up the staff to discuss the transformations with.

~~*~~


Later that same evening, Juno Novak went down to the garden while Sho Inagaki stalked followed him. The two ran into Professor Vindictus who was searching for Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain Tagren Sevens. Professor Vindctus charged Juno and Sho with finding the missing captain.

What could the Ravenclaw Head of House want with his house Captain?

ooc: I never knew Rhiannon was present in so many of the clues Prof. Snape mentioned.

After Josh Moonson is transfigured into a capybera during Transfiguration class, Rhiannon Todd runs after him. Hearing about the student transformations, she tells him, Lyra Noir, and Mallory Moonstone about hearing the roar from Dresden's office, Professor Pierce's involvement. and her suspicions about the professors.

Josh questions Professor Pierce about Dresden, and notices a stash of candy in the Transfiguration professor's office. She acts strange and won't let him have any of it. Finally, she kicks him out of her office.

Does the new Transfiguration professor have anything to do with the student transformations? And what's with the candy in her office?

Ponessa Floyd finally:

A) went off her nut
Or
B) had an epiphany

because she just jumped into the lake. Click-->>

Rhiannon Todd and Josh Moonson discussed what they currently knew about the student transformations in the seventh floor corridor after she gave a sketch he had asked her to make to him. They have now taken it upon themselves to try and find out anything they can.

What will the Slytherin and the Ravenclaw discover? Will they end up as targets of whomever is doing these mysterious things?

Prior to the first official Quidditch match of the term, Professors Vindictus and Clark along with the beautiful Nurse Numel met in the CoMC professor's office. They came up with a plan to search the school and decided to do this after the game.

After the Slytherin victory over Hufflepuff, Professor Vindictus spoke to the players and asked them to come to the Broomshed because he needs fliers. He then took his plea to the stands:

Ravenclaw Prefect Juno Novak has Kidnapped forced talked fellow Ravenclaw Sho Inagaki into helping him with his latest project.

Said project was identified as a "goodbye gift" but the recipient has yet to be revealed.

Gryffindor Firstie Aiden Everett wandered into the boys' bathroom on the 6th floor where the two Ravenclaws are working and now is sporting a bubble gum pink hair - but for how long?

The search for the missing students has begun. Those who are flying, are taking directions from Professors Clark and Vindictus. Those who are searching by foot are under the lead of Professor Forrester.

At the moment, ground and air search parties are at the Lake.

Charlie's Angels? Here in Hogwarts? It's true! Three daring girls have finally begun to stalk follow Professor Pierce about. Cora-Blue Latiffa, Gwen Minton and Emma Cobblesten were examining a panda on the First Floor Corridor, when the Professor came along and levitated the student/panda away. Hmmm...??


Dun, dun, DUUUUUUN.

It appears that clams will solve all of our problems.

Yes, clams.

Prof. Lainey took the History of Magic class out to the lake for a little Q and A with Bartholomew Henry, a.k.a the Giant Squid. Barty bestowed gifts among the nicer students, and told them to take them to the man who knows....

Looks like the rest of the school has some work to do.

Natasha Blaylock has received a note from her husband telling her to return to their cabin. But what's this? Armand didn't write it? He's found the note and taken off after her.
