What in Merlin's Beard?! Term 35 (2081-82)

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 and in 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!

"Good evening, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, staff and students." She spoke loudly and crisply, her magically amplified voice echoing across the impressive Hall. "Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. I am pleased to inform you that we have had many of the repossessed items returned to us from Gringotts bank, including the majority of our furniture and supplies from the Hospital Wing, and we have also bought back our quality Hogwarts dinnerware. You'll also be pleased to hear that you no longer need to wash your own laundry and dishes, as our House Elves have also been returned to us."

She paused to give the four House tables an encouraging wolfish smile. "As you have doubtless noticed by now, we have some new staffers joining us this year, including our Groundskeeper, Mr. Cantwell; our History of Magic professor, Mr. Dursley; our Flying Instructor, Ms. Tyner; our Charms professor, Mr. Fuller; our visiting Care of Magical Creatures professor, Ms. Roman; and our visiting Arithmancy instructor, Mr. French, who couldn't make it to the feast this evening. Ms. Hadley has also moved subjects, from Arithmancy to Muggle Studies, and Ms. Elwood has stepped up as our Ravenclaw Head of House. Congratulations to all... Please give them a warm Hogwarts welcome and a round of applause." She paused again to allow for the applause.

"Now this year, we are going to place a renewed focus on academics, as that IS the reason we are all here today and the reason Hogwarts has stood strong for over 1,000 years. I expect you all to work hard and play hard and fair, and to be good examples and leaders for everyone you might encounter this year." Take that as they would. "With that, please enjoy the feast our OWN house elves have lovingly prepared, and good luck in your classes starting tomorrow."

Annie sat down with a sigh of contentment and watched as the steaming hot plates and bowls of food appeared all at once. Ah, now this was what a feast was supposed to be like.
LET'S EAT

Although the turnstiles by the Great Hall and dormitories are gone, other, more expensive ones have popped up around the school, specifically at the Observatory, Potions Lab, Library, Gobstones Viewing Area, and Quidditch Stands. They read thusly:

Before you can open the door to the library, a big line of multicolored turnstiles magically materializes out of thin air to effectively block your path. You cannot go around the turnstiles and using magic on them will not have the slightest effect. If you want to enter, you need to pay a flat fee of 8 sickles to get in every time you wish to come in. You insert the money in the little hole on top off one of the turnstiles. The turnstile will then unlock and will allow you to pass through and get into the library.
OOC: The turnstiles will be seen by everyone regardless of year, house, or age. You must make at least one post in here before posting elsewhere in the library forum this term. If you don't, watch your back. :shifty:

AND PLEASE NOTE: You CANNOT go around, under, over, etc. the turnstiles. Not only are the little bars physically blocking your path, but they also as a whole act as an invisible force field barring you from the library until you pay. Please cooperate with this portion of the plot or your posts WILL be deleted.

There is a new Arithmancy professor whose first lesson started off as normal.. well besides the fact that it was clear from the paint that this class was not only about calculations:

The room is ordinary in the sense that there are desks in rows and cobwebs in the corners. What might strike the N0RMAL Arithmancy student as peculiar is the cans of paint, cauldron of brewing potion, and long sheets of parchment waiting for the students in the front of the classroom.

The new Arithmancy PR0F3SS0R is awaiting his students with his fingers knitted together and resting on the bulge of his belly.

OOC: I don't care if you're "late". Keep posting arrivals for now. Keep posting numbers. Class hasn't STARTED started, we're only warming up :).
It is said that 'light travels faster than sound, therefore some people appear to be bright before they start speaking". Exhibit A:

"Yes, I suppose it is nice. N I C E. Four letters. One, two, three, four."



"Oh ho! A Head Girl! A post of honor! Do you know how the post of Head Girl came about?"



"Yes, alright, hello. All right now. Tempus you say? I knew a Tempus once. A Dementor Whisperer of all things."



"Yes, well done there."



"All right, all right. Yes, good day, hello."



"The loo is just outside, I believe if you need it? Better hurry before the lesson begins."




"And the same TWO you, times infinity and ONE."


"Yes, well done, hello good day alright."
[underlining by me]. So it seemed that the professor had his own ideas about Gryffindor and he also claimed to know the origins of Head Girl

"Yes, yes I see that, well done you. Bristol. That's Greek for cenataur petter. Yes. Great."




"Are you now? Named after the ancient Atlantis Merperson King, no doubts. Yes, very good."


"Right yes, okay. I believe it was 1616? Perhaps 1617. Anyone know? Anyway, yes, the position of HEAD GIRL was given to the female student that could behead a house elf with the cleanest cut. She would wear or carry the HEAD around her neck and was given status among her peers, hence the name Head Girl. Congratulations!"



"Yes, I see that, well done, please have a seat great thanks. Asher, yes, great name. Of course, that's Native American in origin, as is the origin of Hufflepuff."



"The loo. I don't believe it has moved. Please go before class. Going during will be frowned upon, yes please thank you."



"No, of course not, no no, don't confuse the class, please. It was Jeremy. Right around the time of the fifth annual goblin Olympics."



"Yes, that is exactly right, yes hello."



...

...

"Yes, isn't that interesting." No. "I assure you, as I am the professor, that it was a Jeremy Phillipe Gryffindor and he was a completely non-violent being. Some even speculated he was a few ingredients short of a potion, if you follow, yes well done, great then."



"Yes, great have a seat right there. Use the loo if you must, but we will start this lesson very soon. Now even. Hello."

"I am Professor R. French. This is Arithmancy ONE ZERO ONE, one hundred one, ONE OH ONE and we will begin, yes well done. TWO," he held up two fingers, "DAY we will begin with a lesson."

Yes. Okay. "And that lesson involves INTERPRETING random numbers. Can everyone please stand up and shout out the first random number that comes to mind now."

And go.
[ditto about underlining]
When some students pointed it out, he merely stood to what he said, that a certain Jeremy Gryffindor founded the Gryffindor house. The explanation for the head girl post was startling and queer. And then he moved unto people's names, and their origins which differ to what is commonly thought to be their origins. Even if he does not know his facts, at least he is punny!

"The paint is for AR1THMANCY, which is the class you are currently in, well done yes thank you."



"AH yes, please have a seat Prefect. Welcome to class, thanks please yes. You of course know that PRE-fect comes the CHIN3S3 word FECT, which means to decorate. So a PRE-FECT is BEFORE decorations, quite literally."



Chuckle.



"Clever...."



"Yes, nice. Facts are important to your education, yes please. Great. N1N3T33N!!! yes exactly right!"



"Yes, hello, please have a seat. Good day."



"Exactly! Brilliant answer!"



"Okay then!"



"Doubt in Arithmancy is the path to FA1LUR3! N0 more doubting! Know or listen, one or the other. In your case, more listening. Please don't confuse my class!"


"That answer was already given! Please try again!"



"Yes, no. Please try again. You can do it. Hufflepuffs are historically great number shouters."


"If you haven't shouted a number yet, please do so. Unless you are shouting the INVISIBLE NUMBER i like Mr...." French pointed to WEST 0D3SSA, "then you need to give a number! Any number you think of. Random! Yes please thanks!"
Moving on with more name origins... Also, he does seem to have his own ideas about Arithmancy.
Another question: Can he really read minds?

Academic and Financial Futures Look Bright for Hogwarts
by Gertude Asia Santerinabria
Not only is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry no longer bankrupt, according to well-placed sources within the school, but the institution is also looking to win the upcoming European Bureau of Wizarding Education Quiz Bowl Scholarship Competition (EBWEQBSC, for short).

"First of all, you aren't supposed to know about that yet," commented Hogwarts Headmistress Anastasia Truebridge, "but second of all, yes, we are planning to win this quiz bowl, and third of all, yes, we WILL finish buying back the rest of the school's repossessed items with the financial prize. Now can I finish my breakfast burrito, please?"

Over the summer, says one source, Hogwarts was returned the deed to their school via a mysterious owl, and returning along with it were all of the school's house elves. For readers who were unaware the deed was even missing, a source within the school says that only the Board of Governors, the Hogwarts staff themselves, and law enforcement were informed of its missing status. Now that it has returned, the future of the school looks to be more secure --- and comfortable, with house elves back in the kitchens. Truebridge refused to allow this reporter access to the elves, but she claims they have not commented on where they were for the past school year or why.

Now, just as students are starting to get into the swing of the 2081-82 school year, they will be asked to jam on their thinking caps and sharpen their quills, as selected students will be participating in this academic competition against two other European schools of magic. Beauxbatons Academy and the Durmstrang Institute will face Hogwarts in what seems to be a Triwizard Tournament of wits.

Spokeswizard Alan S. Richman explained the EBWEQBSC as consisting of "two rounds of three heats each of rigorous, relevant application of the core academic subjects taught at all three schools. Judges from the European Bureau of Wizarding Education will score student performance throughout these heats and rounds, with one winner scooping all the prize money at the end."

Richman adjusted his spectacles, and added, "Think of it as a Triwizard Tournament for academics. Foreign-exchange students from each competing school will help liven up the competition and provide cross-cultural perspectives for the student body of the host school by living at said school during the course of the competition. No, we have not determined which school will host the competition yet. No, we have no further comments at this time. Thank you."

The Daily Prophet will continue to deliver the most up-to-date news on this possibly school-saving competition as it unfolds. Subscribe to our owl today! You know you won't get the scoop on your child's education anywhere else!
Oooooooooh this looks rather exciting, don't y'all think?

Returning to the grandstand with an official looking piece of parchment clutched between his black gloved hands, the tall man took out his wand and held it against his throat.

"Results for first round of competition are in. First place, Hogvarts School of Vitchcraft and Vizardry vith 91 points. Second place, Durmstrang Institute vith 68 points. Third place, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic vith 64 points." The parchment in his hands was then folded up and placed in his breast pocket. "Next round of competition vill be held late spring. Hrandstand vill close soon. Everyone valk back to Hogwarts in orderly fashion. Students from Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons should speak vith respective Headmasters about lodging arrangements."

And now the Ukranian was done speaking and gave those still in the grandstands a respectable bow to signal as such. His wand returned to its holster and he began to make his way out of the stands immediately.

Enemies of the heir... beware

Bazinga 10-31-2013 01:13 AM
Looks like the attack of the students have begun..

Observatory Payment Center:

Quote:
Students actually had to pay to enter a school sponsored party? Pathetic. Durmstrang would never make their students pay and certainly not their guests. Though she supposed Hogwarts got around that little technicality by having one of the professors - or whomever - put a little coin jar out by the turnstiles. Still, she looked at the turnstiles with disgust as she approached them.

The only other person out by them was Mischa and Bronislava gave him a curt nod as she dipped her hand into the jar taking out the required amount of coins. She was about to drop the coins into the slot when she had an idea. She wondered how likely the other students would be to attend if they did have to use their own money, especially considering all the other places they did have to use it just to keep academically fit.

Looking around, she could see that Mischa was the only one anywhere near them and that she was completely hidden from view by those inside the observatory. Once she was absolutely certain that no one else could possibly see her, she gave her classmate a smirk and a discreet wink, then quickly moved the jar onto the floor somewhat behind the turnstiles as if she was moving it out of the way for her to drop the coins into the slot. Dropping her coins in, she then reached over and waved her wand at the jar, muttering a few words in Croatian, and cast a disillusionment charm on it, completely hiding it from view. Giving Mischa a smirk, the Durmstrang girl made her way into the party.

Divinations:

Quote:
Divination to Gaston was a subject, interesting like most but in his case he did not find it very realistic. If it weren't for certain reasons he perhaps would have rather been in his dormitory studying something of more relevance such as Astronomy. He was slightly thrilled for the lesson though, he just needed the right moment for the excitement to begin and one where he wouldn't be caught so easily.

His wand was well hidden behind his robes and he made sure that nobody could see him. He was also wise about what spell he chose. He knew if he chose one emitting light he'd be seen immediately as well as he knew that if he targeted his own self he'd be seen as a victim too which he thought was a clever idea.

An imaginary smirk lit up in his mind, but his actual face appeared to be focused on the lesson. Then like that a few spells were casted. "Waddiwasi." He whispered a few times over and over and aimed at several people's crystal balls, one of them being his own...

He then waited for the chaos to happen.
Quote:
Mischa's mind was at work as he calmly cleaned his crystal ball. Yes. Now would be the perfect time. Trying to be as inconspicuous as he could he removed his wand. Any random student would do. Even students. More would be better yes? He had mastered non verbal spells. This would be easy.

Mischa pointed his wand at a girl (Ella). "Langlock!'' His wand was still hidden and now he aimed it at another student. A boy (Tag). "Langlock!'' That would do it for now. Miischa kept his eyes fixed on the crystal ball as he fixed it on the stand using the levitation charm.

Muggle Studies:

Well, Karina could fix this problem. A little wand work and the others wouldn't be able to set their sticks straight, much less light them! She smirked and joined the Gryffindors. "So? Shall we get started then?" she asked the group, bringing over firewood as a contribution. If they wanted to win they had better begin.

She looked about the room to see if any of the other groups had started yet, hmmm none yet. They were to be the first.

Uhm so, yeah, those Beauxbatons students are really...something.
One of them just set Greenhouse #4 on fire.

He was almost sure there was some kind of a mistake. These Hogwarts students didn't look like they cared much about their study, how could they be in first place. Well, there is the fact that they were familiar with the land.

Sebastien left the common room and strolled around the castle then sneaked to the Greenhouses making sure he wasn't spotte. He had his cap drawn down covering most of his face as he kept his eyes downcast. Let's say he wasn't here to enjoy the beauty of the plants. Although, he was one to do so, he today wasn't here for that reason.

Once in, he shot side glances around making sure the coast was clear then retrieved a jar from his bag. He'd chosen to come here very early and on a day he knew there was no Herbology lesson. He wasn't planning on getting caught and he was almost sure he wasn't. cocky much?

Twisting the jar open, the fifth-year smirked at the ashwinder eggs inside. No the eggs weren't frozen so they weren't to brew any potion. Since he was in a hurry, he simple tipped the jar and let its contents fall to the ground as his arm was stretched as much as possible. He didn't want to catch any fire of course.

Immediately after that, he turned on his heels and headed out smelling the fire coming. He was going to get rid of the jar of course.

GREENHOUSE 4 WAS ON FIRE!!!!

Aaaaaannnd remember the whole 'Chamber of Secrets being re-opened thing'? Yes.
Apparently The Basilisk has a little (not so little) brother or something...or it might have just been one of the Beauxbatons students again.

She contemplated a lot - had even one sleepless night - but in the end, she figured she should strike them once more. She had no reason to like the Hogwartians - save for the cute guys maybe - so... it didn't take her long to understand Hufflepuff contained the majority of muggleborns in the school and her target was them only two days later from the message.

She was out at 3 o'clock at night, in her slippers, wand in one hand and a plastic toy snake in the other. She made sure no one saw her this time too - checking at every corner and walking as fast as she could. Besides, the corridors were as deserted and dark as before - and she even went as far as wearing Hogwarts robes (Gryffindor ones, mind you, because those were the only ones that fit her well). Her hair was a pony-tail. From outside, she looked like a Hogwarts student. Such precautions were taken after the stupid gossip page - in case someone had truly seen her - and she was going to fool them this time.

Arriving at her spot (why, just follow a Hufflepuff and you are rewarded with their entrance), she delicately lay the snake down and turned its open mouth towards the entrance of the common room. Then, drawing a wide circle around it with her wand, she whispered "Engorgio!" and repeated the process three times. The first thing Puffies would see in the morning was going to be a great snake taller than humans, with an open mouth that was ready to swallow them. She wished she could hide somewhere to watch a few of them faint but she was a responsible girl, so she started her journey back to her Ravenclaw tower as soon as her magic was complete - turning only once from afar to see that it was perfect, of course.

Take that, stupid gossip paper.

The results..

Quote:
"Now is time to announce results of round two of competition," he said while keeping his eye on those that had gathered as he removed a sealed envelope from his breast pocket. "First place, Hogvarts School of Vitchcraft and Vizardry vith 91 points. Second place, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic vith 73 points. Third place, Durmstrang Institute vith 71 points." He paused only a few moments for any applause. "Combining scores from round one vith round two, in third place Beauxbatons Academy of Magic vith 137 points. Vould Headmistress Enzo please come up and accept third place trophy?"

He then lifted the cover and took the trophy from the table to hand to the woman personally.
Quote:
After handing the woman the trophy, returning her fake smile with equal enthusiasm.

Now, to continue with the unpleasantries, "In second place, Durmstrang Institute vith 140 points. Vould Headmaster Zitnik please come up and accept second place trophy?"

Not at all how things were supposed to end, but at least the school he had once almost called home had not lost to the likes of Beauxbatons. The only thing the man dreaded now was just how loud a reception the red-headed Headmistress of Hogwarts would perform when she was called upon to accept the first place trophy.

He has only asked for the Headmaster to approach the podium and accept, so the judge was internally tiffed about the change in protocol. However, given who the man was, Fedir was more than willing to overlook things. It gave the school a positive image in light of its....loss.

Giving a golf clap to the 'touching' scene, he turned his icy gaze back to the audience. "Vich means vinners of 2082 European Bureau ov Vizarding Education Quiz Bowl Scholarship Competition is Hogvarts School ov Vitchcraft and Vizardry vith total ov 181 points." And now to brace for impact as he reached for the large first place trophy. "Headmistress Truebridge, please come up and accept first place trophy."

Quickly and quietly so he could remove himself from the potent stench of the roses.

She's been here all along. She was probably just mistaken for a pebble." and that was probably why her so-called loving dad hadn't found her until now! So there!

Look, even lafay was getting on the ridiculous man! Ha! Anastasia did nothing to control her potion professor's rage... No, she'd let that spark go for now.... Because...


It was time for the speech, she thought. She was hungry, so... Words before foods.

"hogwartians!" the redhead stood up, and picked up the trophy with her. "hogwartians! An exciting term has come to a close!" she waited for the cheers and applause for herself to die down, of course. "i would like to personally thank all our staff and students for being excellent hosts for our foreign visitors, even if they didn't show their gratitude."

she paused for effect.

"and i would also like to again congratulate all our student champions! Well done, hogwarts! You have made your friends, your family, your professors, your housemates, and your school, proud. I am proud of all of you."

yaaaaay happy feelings. Blah blah blah. Now for the domestic winnings.

"congratulations are also in order for our trifecta of house, quidditch, and gobstones cup champions... the hufflepuff badgers!!!!!!" round of applause for them indeed! "and all the other houses did well too," she mentioned more quietly and with a small wave of her hand. "congratulations to our graduating seventh years, our departing staff..." she threw a long look down toward the fiery potions mistress, "and those students who are leaving for whatever reason too." she looked out toward a certain scarlet table.

"best of luck to all of you. Now, let's eat!"
