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.
This means that unless your student character heard this stuff from other students or witnessed the actual event, your student character doesn't know about it.
Also, this is a reminder to everyone to only post updates on the school plot here. Please do not post the happenings of your student character in here - that kind of chat goes in the school chat thread.
Have fun! | |

The Welcoming Feast has begun! Take a seat at your House Table and try not to starve as we wait for the Start of Term speech...but who is delivering said speech? Hmm
Oh and remember: You're back at Hogwarts...do try to behave. Professors love docking House Points.

What's this? Professor Reynard Bontecou is sitting in the Headmaster's chair. Could he be Hogwart's new Headmaster?: Quote:

He straightened up when he remembered that it WAS the headmistress's chair and treated it with a bit more reverence. Cassandra Rae sat here.

"Thanks, I'm parched and need to wet my whistle before the big speech," he grinned and pushed his goblet toward her.

Professor Bontecou rubbed the bridge of his nose, bumping his glasses up to his forehead a few times in the process. He settled he dirty things back ino place and cleared his throat. When that clearly wasn't going to do it, he tapped his glass with a spoon for attention. Then, he cleared his throat again. "Well, here we are again or for the first time, I guess, if you're a new student," he grinned. "I'm Professor Reynard bontecou, potions master and recently appointed headmaster. I can only hope to be half the leader the great Cassandra Rae was and that you'll all bear with me as I become accustomed to my new role."
He was starting to babble and this wasn't going anywhere in the direction he'd practiced. Oops. Okay, kiddos are starving and now his stomach was gumbling, too so he'd better make it quick. "So, well, I guess now's the time I welcome all the returning professors and the new ones as well. We've got quite the line up this term with Miss Lupa for Runes, Ian Ashby for Charms, Mr. Truebridge filling the crazy shoes of Professor Lainey," he began and then started getting off track again. He really needed to stop fan boying over Rae and Lainey. He cleared his throat again, "Iliana Morgan as Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Anastasia Bunbury in herbology, the venerated and esteemed Professor Kazimeriz as defense teacher, and last, but certainly not least, the lovely Meredith Brooks-Byron manning... well, womanning, the infirmary."
"Well, I guess that's it for introductions. I look forward to a productive term and enjoy the food!" he finished up his speech with a wild flourish of a hand gesture and then sat down feeling like an idiot, but beaming and quite pleased and amused anyway.
"Well, that's that," he said, speaking to his now full plate It's been confirmed who the headmaster is now

The house ghosts are apparently back and are wreking havic at the Staff table. Maybe something to do with the school plot?

Correction:
Three of the original House Ghosts have appeared at the student tables. Meanwhile, chaos erupted at the Staff table due to a student prank.

And the Grey Lady told off a student for questioning how a specific professor became a professor . . .
Because of something another student said about that professor.

That is not good advice. Trying to change the subject, the Fat Friar asked, "Did you try the roast duck? It looks delicious."

It appears that Myrtle is also in the boy's loo.
Meanwhile Professor Vindictus has given one of his prefects and another student some interesting advice and asked an interesting question about the ghosts.

The Grey Lady was spotted in the Library. Now that the Ghosts are back this might not be news worthy, but it was WHAT she was doing there... Quote:

She turned and floated upwards to place her book back on the shelf of books marked in runes. You would think that having been dead for a good long while, she'd have had time to look up any nagging questions from her youth, so what's prompting her to search the Runes Shelf for a book now? And what book was it? And what answers did it contain? Or not contain?
Oh the questions!

It appears that Peeves has defaced Professor Dumont's doorplate.
The professor's response was curious.
Why did Professor Dumont ask that Peeve's reappearance be kept confidential? Is something up? Or was Dumont secretly embarrassed by Peeve's ink shower?

Professor Morgan just stopped by HoM, which would be normal-ish, except she seems to have a tail... and paws... Quote:

When she was satisfied with her vantage point, she stopped moving and wound her tail around her front paws, holding her back perfectly straight. Did we miss that announcement at the Welcoming Feast? Our new CoMC teacher is also an Animagus? Well that must give her a certain edge...

Peeves is busy trashing Professor Vindictus' office. He has just begun uprooting some potted plants. Poor Cale Thornton; I think he's going to have a heart attack.

The Grey Lady has now made an appearance in the Ravenclaw CR. With an interesting book, as well as a few interesting comments to make:
Quote:

In the Grey Lady's hands was a ghostly book and she opened it to a marked page. "Rose quartz is an interesting stone, is it not?" she asked off-hand and floated towards the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Apparently Nearly Headless Nick is not only in search of gryffindors someone to talk to, he specifically wants to talk to his house's boy and girl prefects. Quote:

Nick flew off, determined to make his presence known soon. He wanted to find the boy and girl prefect and talk to them soon, if he could.

The Bloody Baron is yelling at students in the Great Hall! Quote:

"At least you Gryffies are above 0 points now, we're still far behind. I think causing trouble for Peeves to come isn't a very feasible plan, I'm afraid." the girl said.
Starting to get angry because the ghosts didn't answer, she tried louder.
"Fat Friar?!? Sir Nicholas?!? Grey Lady?!? Bloody Barron?!? ANYONE?!?"

"Peeves just broke into the potions class. See? He appears when it's least expected. the others might be the same."
The Bloody Baron came down the hall with a disgusted look on his face "What's with all the bloody yelling inside the castle? Didn't your parents teach you how to use an indoor voice?"
He turned to the girl in Gryffindor robes, "Oh yes. Because all the ghosts do is float around the common rooms, afraid to go out into the hallways. Bloody ridiculous." He continued to glower at the two young girls, waiting for one of them to jusifty their very exsistence if necessary.

It seemed that the students might be getting somewhere in their investigation of the ghosts reappearance through their converstaion with the Bloody Baron: Quote:
Originally Posted by Bloody Baron "Thatagirl!" The Baron approved, "That's true Slytherin style." The Baron gave a shrug, "We just got tired of students like these two yelling and screaming for us. Who would want to be treated like a creature at someone's beck and call? We ghosts are not dogs. We have our pride. I came back because Slytherin House hasn't been up to par, I wanted to get them back to where they belong. The other ghosts simply couldn't be outdone, so followed me back." Only to have the Grey Lady appear and countermand what the Bloody Baron had said: Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady "Only fools believe what the Baron says," the Grey Lady said as she floated through one of the walls. "Those seeking wisdom should consult with me." She disappeared as quickly as she appeared.
