Slytherin Notice Board

[Droo]

In the corner of the Slytherin Common Room stands a tall cork bulletin board. Any parchment that touched the cork is magically affixed on it by the self sticking charm it posesses. Here is where you may post class announcements, homework or anything else you think the great house of Salazar Slytherin would do well knowing. And remember...

We're Slytherin, told it's a sin
A House no-one worthwhile's in.
What dung, what rot, what utter tripe
A rather silly stereotype.

Slytherin's for those with brains--
Yet not ashamed to work for gain
Slytherin's for those quite brave
But not to the point of an early grave.

One learns quick and well in Slytherin
How to thrive and how to win.
We're clever, ambitious and maybe mean--
But hey, we get to dress in green.

Cross us and get curse-whacked
A snake never gets side-tracked
We're Slytherin, it's all the rage
Don't stick us in your 'good kid' cage.

You'll think of us as model tykes
But prone to lies, and quick to bite
Let everyone else mutter and glare
We're Slytherins, so we don't care.

Now let's be frank; Slytherin rules
We're the rebel house, the house of cool
Trust only those who are already in,
Too bad all houses aren't Slytherin.

~By Dien Alcyone

Design a picture frame on a piece of paper. Make it as detailed as you can, to test your powers of concentration. Use the spell learned in class (Statua Habitum) to turn the paper into the exact frame you drew. Practice as many times as it takes to get it exact.

Then give the frame to a person of your choice (staff/student/friend/enemy) as a gift.

OOC: You can draw an actual picture if you wish, although it's not mandatory, or you can use a frame you found online. But please don't take someone elses drawing and try and pass it off as your own. - AND NO HOTLINKING PICTURES, PLEASE. Upload them to your own Photobucket/tinypic account.
If you just RP your character drawing it please put as much descriptive detail of the frame into your posts as you can. I expect a MINIMUM OF 5 GOOD LENGTH POSTS to complete the task. PM me the links to all the posts you make.

Worth: 20 points
Due: Friday 27th January 2012 by 10PM GMT

PM the links to your posts (and the picture if you did one) to me, MeredithRodneyMckay, before the deadline. And please make sure you read all the RULES on how to submit homework before sending.

Apparition Lessons. Yes, they have them here in Hogwarts, however it is for only sixth and seventh years! There may be no points... but it will be fun to learn about popping in and out of places... right?! Please do remember that showing up would be rude though.

PS. Remember. If your character is turning 17 this year, after the third lesson, you will get a chance to get their Apparition license... HOW EPIC IS THAT?!

In other, more simpler words... be awesometastical. go to the lesson.

[Nordic Witch]

Seminar Class One: Blood, bleeding and bandages is UP!

The first seminar is about to commence with a healer to teach you all some fascinating new knowledge about healing magics. You all should run up to the old Divination Tower and meet Healer Vanessa Paton. If you don't you'll miss out on a great lesson so snakes scramble!!!:

Potions Lesson 1

The first Potions class is open NOW Sunday January 22nd and remain open for at least 72 hours. Please file into the dungeon classroom quietly, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING and find a place to sit promptly before class begins. I will NOT tolerate tardiness, rudeness or talking once my class has started. Please familiarize yourself with my rules before attending. I don't want any whining about 'I didn't knoooow' or 'please don't take points off' or 'but my nose was not this shape when we started'. So sit down, shut up and pay attention.

[slytherus]

Attention all Snakes!!

Your assignment is simple; create an artistic representation of what your personal day number is for the 31st of October, 2076. If your personal day number on this day happens to coincide with your soul urge or life path, then this should be signified in your artistic representation. Keep in mind the colors and gems and flowers associated with the numbers, as specified in chapter four of your text, as well as the meaning associated with your personal day number, in chapter twenty.

General Guidelines
~ You should include your personal day number for the 31st, as well as your soul urge and life path numbers (you don't HAVE to show your work).
~ Even if you did NOT attend the lesson, you're still encouraged to do this assignment
~ No, your artwork does NOT have to be gorgeous. I'm looking for thought related to the number, not perfection.
~ You may use any graphics program on your computer; even if it's not a fancy program, you should at least be able to come up with something using MS PAINT, which all PCs have.
~ If for some extreme circumstance you absolutely cannot make a graphic, talk to me about it. I may be willing to work with you in completing an alternative assignment.
~ Finally, do NOT plagiarize your artwork from something off the internet. I want the drawing to be your OWN work, not something you got off Google Images or whatnot. Be creative with it. Be expressive. This is about creativity, not "good artwork". I don't care if it's good, but I DO care if it's your own. If you DO plagiarize, then I promise you will LOSE points, rather than gain them. That's how serious I find this to be. So do yourselves and your house a favor; don't copy a graphic. Create something fresh.

Worth: 10 points (plus possible extra credit)
DUE: Sunday February 26, 2012 @ 11:59pm EST

You should do it in no more than 5 quality posts meaning no one liners and at least one good sized paragraph (4 lines of text). Be creative and have fun! I will grade fail attempts and successes equally. In two giant sized boxes outside Professor Roslund's office you can each pick up a sun dial and a nocturnal for your homework. Professor Roslund expects you to return the instruments in the same shape you got them.

OCC info:

- Roleplay testing the the sundial and nocturnal out in RP the objective is to work out the time of day. You are not allowed to use your watches accept to see if you are right or wrong.

- Roleplay should consist of 5 RP posts from somewhere in the school or out on the grounds.

- To get points you need to send the RP links in a PM titled 'Astronomy Homework 1' to me Nordic Witch.
