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, Hogwartians." Anastasia waited for their eyes to settle on her before continuing. "Welcome back to school. For those of you who are new this year, including our lovely new Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, and History of Magic professors, and our Groundskeeper, welcome welcome." She flashed everyone looking at her a brilliant smile.

"I'm sure you all will be pleased to learn that our school's winnings from last year's European Board of Wizarding Education Quiz Bowl Scholarship Competition have gone to good use. All of our previously repossessed furniture, greenhouse plants, astronomy equipment, quidditch brooms, and so on, have been fully returned. You will also be pleased to note the restoration of your House banners and your authentic, SCHOOL-OWNED silverware." She felt it necessary to emphasize that point. Just in case any goblins were out there, listening, who knew. Ahem.

"I have no further remarks at this time, except that I expect you all to have a warm and wonderful school year full of learning, good behavior, and friendship. Now, let us feast!"

With a dismissive, queen-like wave of her arm, delicious dishes full of food and gravy and pumpkin juice and all the yummy things Hogwarts is known for appeared on the House tables. Happy feasting time! The Headmistress returned to her seat.

If we didn't know better, it would appear as though things will be nothing but smooth sailing this term *cough cough*

What is going on with all the Grey Hairs?

Quote:

Laura continued to just stand there hoping the Professor wouldn't ask her if she had any names because she didn't want to tell on Tess but she didn't want to get into trouble either not when she was going grey. "Professor." Laura decided she would ask the Professor a serious question. "What can you do about grey hairs?" Laura pulled out one of her grey hairs to show to the Professor, she had tears in her eyes.

As she walked closer towards unkempt girl and the apparent professor Ana managed to spot herself in the mirror and let out her own blood curdling cry, while racing towards it. She had, no she couldn't possibly. This wasn't happening, she was only young.

"Never mind the heir of Slytherin, I have a grey hair," Ana wailed as she pulled it from her head. "I'm too young for this," she continued, sobbing slightly as she turned around and latched onto the person closest to her, which just so happened to be Professor Flamstead.

Quote:

Alec had been walking along a corridor, minding his own business, when his eyes landed on his reflection in the window pane. Naturally, he boy would have glanced at his hair and then walked idly past. But not this time. No. This time something in his hair had caught his attention and he just HAD to stop in here to check it out. Properly.

Because Alec Blake Summers was NOT getting a grey hair at the age of EIGHTEEN.

lazykitty · 01-20-2014, 08:48 PM

In addition to the grey hairs, some people are having weird aches and pains ~~as if they were old or something~~

"Evening, Mr. Bart.....holomew," he greeted, remembering what a certain little fairy loving lioness had told him about the bra stealing boy. "This is no mere animal in this tank. It's my best mate, but I do enjoy conversing with him."

The astronomer chuckled. "Got to start the term off with a bang, don't I?" he said, placing careful emphasis on the word bang as he gave the prefect a quick salute.

But then he was staring at her. HARD CORE STARING. While he usually appreciated the girl's spunk and unconventional thinking, this rubbed the man the wrong way and he scowled briefly. "No." There was an uncharacteristic lack of amusement in his tone. "That would be murder, Miss Cambridge. I doubt you would be pleased if Miss Wisteria were to turn into a bass and someone blew her up, correct?"

Brow still furrowed in agitation, he glanced up at Mr. Tempus. "Evening, Mr. Tempus," he greeted, his tone laced in grumpiness. Blow up his best friend...HA. Kids these days. Wait..what? He shook his head and smiled at the Hufflepuff quite suddenly. "Professor Dursley says hello back, see him waving?" Very considerate of him to say hello. Yep.

Mood lifted thanks to Mr. Tempus' greeting, he nodded his head towards the Ravenclaw prefect. "Evening, Mr. Barrington. No, no green beards this time, but you wouldn't be able to open it even if you tried."

"Evening, Mr. Rehman," he smiled at the Hufflepuff as he finally stoop up from his squatting position. Both of his knees gave a loud CRACKING noise as he did, echoing softly in the classroom. He winced a bit and rubbed both of his knees before his expression returned to a smile. "Good to hear."

Rubbing his knees again briefly, he smiled at the Hufflepuff as she entered. "Evening, Miss Black, I am doing quite stellar. Thank you for asking."

"Just one, Mr. Lecium," he said while holding up his index finger. "A bass to be precise. He is just here to listen and see all of his old students again." Not to mention he couldn't leave Tiberius in his office with the ferret. Too risky considering what had happened last time.

"Evening, Miss Goldman," he said while giving the Gryffindor a quick salute.

Oh. Erm.

The professor squirmed internally when he saw this particular student enter. "Evening, erm, Miss Carrington," he greeted. "I'm doing just fine, thank you for asking."

"Evening, Mr. Radley," he greeted the boy, his eyes flicking towards who he had elected to sit next to. "Make sure she doesn't try anything funny will you?"

He took potential death threats against his bass very seriously.

"Hello, Mr. Summers. Getting an early start on No Shave November?" he asked with a quick gesture towards the Head Boy's chin.

"Evening, Miss Smith," he saluted to the Ravenclaw as she took her seat.

"Evening, Miss Buratta," he said with a slightly raised eyebrow. Big difference between 8 am and 8 pm students. Perhaps he should transfigure her into a pocket watch.

And since when had he been this upset over such a slip up done by students?

"Evening, Miss Newell," he greeted the young snakette.

And the answer to your multiple choice question would be D. All of the above. Perhaps a little more emphasis on option A though.

"Evening, Miss Ella," he smiled at the Head Girl. He would miss seeing her captaining on the pitch, but it seemed as though the new captain was running vigorous workouts. Assuming that is what her posture was indicating right now. "He is a mighty fine bass."

He nodded his head towards the Ravenclaw as she entered. If she wasn't going to say hello, then he wouldn't either.

"Hello, Mr. Strand," he smiled at the Hufflepuff. "Thank you, I am sure he appreciates the compliment as well."

He offered the Gryffindor a nod and a tight smile.

Airey stared at the seventh year and his fist. And no, the man had not cringe in fear of being punched in the face. Not too much anyway. "Evening, Mr. Romalotti," greeting, eyeing the fist again before forming one himself with his right hand and each knuckle CRACKING as he did. He returned the gesture though, gently rapping his fist against the boy's.

"Evening, Miss Paulidine," he smiled at the Gryffindor. "Do you not converse with your best friend? That is all I am doing." Or had been since, well, he was now conversing with students.

"Alright there, Mr. Banxton?" he asked the quidditch captain when he saw just how much the young man was struggling. "Not overdoing the quidditch practices are you?"

Airey had a very hard time making eye contact with this particular student as she walked in. Not that he was looking anywhere he ought not to be. Unless the ground was inappropriate, because that is where his eyes were at the moment. He did glance up when she greeted him and all he could see was a blue lace woman's support garment. "Evening, Miss Emmons," he greeted as his voice cracked like a teenage boy's. "I, ahem, hope nothing else has been borrowed from you recently."

And if it had, he really didn't want to hear about it. Probably shouldn't have even asked.

"Evening to you, Mr. Atreyu," he greeted the Gryffindor as he took his seat.

"Evening, Mr. Hirase," he said with a tight smile as his eyes drifted to the thing on top of the boy's head. "I do not believe that that," he said while pointing at the hat. "...is a part of a standard Hogwarts uniform. Remove it, please."

"Evening, Miss Astrid," he smiled at the girl. He paused for a moment while he thought about her name. "Your name reminds me of an asteroid. Don't suppose you would be in favor of my calling you Miss Asteroid, would you?" He had to ask.

He glanced back at Tiberius. "He is just glad to be here with all you."

"Evening, Miss Masterson," he smiled gently to the first year.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH look who it was! The adorable fox girl. Had she made any boy foxes go fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow? "Evening, Miss Wayne. Good to see you again."

"Evening, Miss McAlistor," he greeted the Hufflepuff. "I'm just stellar. Eager to get started as well." He pulled back the sleeve on his suit jacket to look at his sundial watch. Should start soon. In just a few more minutes.

"Good evening, Miss Eventide," he saluted the Ravenclaw.

Airey was pleased to see the inquisitive Ravenclaw arrive - mostly because he was curious how she would answer some of the questions in today's lesson. "Evening, Miss Evans. You MAY ask, but you may not receive an answer." She would find out soon enough anyway. It wasn't nearly as exciting as student imaginations were probably making it out to be.

"Evening, Mr. Toussaint," he saluted the Gryffindor.

........................................

Squirming on the inside quite a bit, the professor swallowed hard and forced a smile on his face as he greeted the Slytherin. "Evening, Miss Konstantinova. Nope. No more buckets."

"Good evening, Miss Colbert," he greeted the girl. "Replace? Never. Pebbles is irreplaceable! I did purchase a pet over the summer, but not the bass. Professor Dursley found me along the Black Lake before term started. I saved his life you could say."

"Evening, Miss Adams," he greeted with a wide grin.

STARE.

Was Miss Fischer trying to tease him by MEOWING at him? His blue eyes squinted as he STARED some more at the quidditch captain while his lips tightened in a force and temporary scowl. He then noticed the manner in which the girl was walking that erased the scowl and turned it into a look of concern. "You alright, Miss Fischer?"

"Good evening, Miss Somerlad," he smiled at the prefect, flashing her a thumbs up as she took her seat.

"Evening, Miss Alden," he greeted the Hufflepuff. And yes, he DID hear the way she greeted her friend. Well, if she was allowed to call her Miss Asteroid, then he should too. Obviously.

"Miss Lockwood," he greeted as he scratched his head and.........was that....hair?

Eyes widening for just a moment, he quickly hid his hand, and the small bouquet of hair he had just pulled out, behind his back.

Shuffling over to the side so he could drop the hair without anyone noticing, he chuckled at Miss Edwards. "No no, I would never experiment on this bass," he replied shaking his head. "Even if he has always been a fan of muggle transportation and riding on a shuttle to Mars would be something he would be interested in."

The Hufflepuff boy received a nod and a grumpy look from the man. Well then, he wasn't going to take the effort to greet him if he wouldn't do the same.

"Good evening, Miss Greenwell," he saluted the Gryffindor. Always good to see the little quidditch star.

Again, he just stared at the student as she walked right by him without saying a thing. Kids these days. Pfft. Wasn't like he was asking them to walk upstairs both ways through the snow to his lesson. A simple hello would have been nice.

Airey stuck his finger in his ear after the girl greeted her, his face contorted just a little. Turn down the volume a little, yeah? "Evening," he greeted her in a soft voice.

Checking his sundial watch one more time, the professor decided that it was time to get things started. With a quick flick of his wand he shut the door to the classroom and then walked towards the center of the semicircle while holding his lower back with his right hand for the extra support he had been needing recently.

"Good evening and thank you all for coming," he greeted as he clapped his hands together twice to get everyone's attention. "Welcome to Astronomy, NOT to be confused with Astrology. For those of you who do not know me or may have forgotten my name, I am Professor Flamsteed and you may call me such or Professor Airey or sir." Hmmm. Odd. No matter. "Today we are going to travel back, figuratively speaking that is, nearly 14 billion years ago. To do this, I need to ask you all a unusual question." He then walked over to the black box on the table. Yep. Time for the big revealing - which really was not all that exciting. With one swift movement, Airey removed the lid and reached into the box to pull out nothing more than a measly chicken egg.

"Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? Or, as muggles will put it, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" he began as he held the egg up for everyone to see. "Originally intended to point out the futility of identifying the first case of a circular cause and consequence, but serves another purpose. It also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began, something that plagued mankind for centuries and still, to a certain extent, remains unknown." He idly tossed the egg in his hand, watching it rise and fall. "I want you all to pretend that this egg is thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny tiny and is also hotter and denser than anything our human minds can imagine." He paused and looked around the classroom at everyone, were they all visualizing this? Yes? Good.

Then, without warning, he tossed the egg especially high into the air and took a BIG step to the right and simply allowed the egg to fall to the ground of the classroom with a SPLAT.

"Can anyone tell me what this was a crude illustration of?"

OOC: This lesson has officially started! Please do not post your character arriving now or else risk loss of house points for your house or some other punishment that Professor Flamsteed feels is appropriate. If you are joining us now, please just pretend as though your character has been here all along

Remember to say just ONE thing that your character sees as a difference between the two. Points will not be rewarded solely for correct answers <3

Class will resume at least 24 hours from now. I had some RL things come up that may keep me away from SS all of tomorrow. So I am sorry for the delay in advance <3

But the lesson then started and Tobias actually opened his mouth to answer the 'chicken or the egg' question, 'cause he KNEW it. It actually wasn't that hard. Instead he held back and waited and made some notes.

Toby looked up from his notes just in time to see Professor Flamsteed tossing the egg up into the air and letting it fall.

Like actually fall.

And splat.

He wrinkled his nose slightly and stared at the egg whilst he heard other students give their answers. His immediate answer, The Big Bang, was gone. But that didn't mean he couldn't sort of get close to it.

"Atoms exploding?" Tobias suggested as he raised his hand, feeling an unfamiliar twinge or protest in his muscles as he did so. "Or technically more like one atom. The first one, which is hot and dense 'cause it contains everything that'll make the universe." See? He was trying to make links here. Trying. It was just hard to try and remember what he'd read about this stuff, if he'd read anything at all.

The boy lowered his hand again and absentmindedly rotated his shoulder, trying to stretch out the stiffness a bit.

His hand was still on top of his head to keep the hat in place as he shook his head. "I...i can't " he said, cursing at himself for letting out a stutter. An eleven year old with grey hair on the top of his head was just too embarrassing. "I have a..problem...and i don't want anyone to see..uhm...can i just...keep it on?" He wondered if someone had done a prank on his hair while he had been asleep.

Looking around the room for any supicious students wanting to take off his hat, Kevin turned his mismatched eyes back to the obviously weird Professor and tried to focus on what he was saying. They were going back in time billions of years?! Like for real?! The Gryffindor was suddenly getting excited and he sat a little righter in his chair until the man picked up a egg and asked them to visualize...something. Mweh! Boring.

Without trying to visualize anything, he placed his free hand (the other was still on his baseball cap to keep it safe on his head) and rested his chin in his hand. Soooo....what did a splashing egg had to do with astronomy? ...he had no idea. But he did know that he was hungry now. Thanks a lot.

Benjy was looking pretty rough too. Nigel, at least, had that same cool approach to the world as usual. Maybe they all could just take a page out of Ni's book.

As the egg spread across the floor, Mo wrinkled his nose and offered, "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move." Look, Professor. Mo Branxton has been doing reading about SPACE TRAVEL. Of sorts.

Also, Professor Airey seems to be losing his hair

He hadn't even been able to utter any cry of pain as the shook and just how suddenly it had paralyzed his moments took the breath right out of him. He could hardly speak and moment of any sort was entirely out of the question. Worst of all, at least to him at that specific point in time, was the way that his wand was taunting him there. On the ground. Just out of his hands' reach.

"Someone....Healer..." he managed to gasp between electrifying jolts of pain up and down his spine.

Bazinga · 01-24-2014, 11:58 PM

Looks as if a new ghost is joining the party...

Quote:

Making its way through the castle, the slightly transparent figure of a woman glided into the dungeon with a look of dismay and delight.

"Goodness gracious HEAAAAAAAAAAAVENS above!" she exclaimed gleefully. "There is a party and nooooooooooooo one told me about it?!"

How incredibly rude to have forgotten to invite her properly. She would have to have a word with Annie about this mishap.

Lex cleared her throat and closed the door behind her. "Hello." She said super politely. She knew these people, even got her father to vote for some of them. They were SO welcome and now it was her time to ask a favour of them. "Pleasant weather we're having no? It's lovely. I'd love to be out enjoying it but see, I've got stiff joints. I've got a back that hurts like Circe knows what and I've got some serious complaints." Which the board was meant to take care of? Had to make this quick before anyone went to tattle about the Gryffindor Prefect ruining the meeting.

Lex made her way to the table and took an empty seat. This belonged to someone else she was sure but this was a CRISIS. "There's a serious problem at this school. See my hair? It's meant to be blonde. I would like it blonde again. We students are DYING SLOWLY." Were they worried yet? She could get more dramatic if need be.

He was proof of what was going on there at Hogwarts.

Adi lowered his voice. "You people need to do something, please.'' Yep. They'd better do something. And fast!

She gave looks to Lex and Adi, encouraging ones but ones she hoped said to calm down because she didn't want to get kicked out before she was heard. "And I...we mean no disrespect by coming in here but we're trying to learn and to be kids and we can't do that like this. I...I'm eighteen and I feel like...well like how I imagine a 75 year old woman would feel and this isn't right." Helpless looks for you, Board of Governors. And because she didn't want to throw the Headmistress under the bus, she hastily added. "I'm sure the school has been doing everything they can to help but maybe with additional brain power, it can be sorted and just..."

...

"Just...can you please help us. ...Please."

Wonder how the BoG is going to take this.

Anna Banana · 02-17-2014, 07:16 PM

To add to the drama/excitement, don't miss out on the fact that the Ministry Healers are here and in the Staff Room.

Anna Banana · 02-19-2014, 01:59 AM

I apologize about the double post, but there's more news to report, and I was the last to post.

=====

Some stalking in the BoG Room should definitely be done! There's talk of closing down the school!

Healers from St. Mungo's are here!

"Amethyst Boyle from Geriatrics in St. Mungo's," she breathed and managed not to wince at the sight of the girl on the stretcher.

"We have to run a few tests, of course," she told the Gryffindor girl who was being LOOOUUUD! This was the exact reason this woman had chosen geriatrics: the OLD loved QUIET.

She turned to the blond woman. They'd skipped all kinds of courtesy, because they had to be quick!

"What's the exact situation?" What was happening? How bad was it?

Going over to his mentor he said quietly. "I'm here now. What do you need me to do? I'll just give the girl with the cough a complete check up and then I’m free."

Letting his gaze drift over to the blond he said. "Andrew Wombley, healer from Geriatrics division at St Mungos." And one of Professor Botros personal healers but that was probably understated.

Turning his attention to the one of the other men in the room that Andrew had overheard upon walking in was also a healer but from the ministry of magic he introduced himself."I'm Andrew Wombley, healer from the geriatrics division at St Mungos. Let's work together on patching up the students." It was more efficient that way.

Andrew was about to go back to Beverly when he heard a cry of pain. Eyes gazing about he spotted a girl lying on stretcher. Why wasn’t she in a bed? Not wasting anytime he hurried over to the girl on the stretcher and called over his shoulder. "Mr Donovan can you help me a minute with this student?"

Rolling up his sleeves Andrew gave the adult hovering by the girl’s side a nod as he with the quick use of his wand moved the girl over from the stretcher to the bed painlessly. "How are you dear? Where does it hurt?"

Spotting a boy in chair nearby Andy gave him glance as he walked past him to set up all the medical supplies on a nearby table."Yes, I'm a healer from St Mungos." Besides the aging the boy didn’t seem to need urgent medical attention.

Hopefully everyone can band together and find a cure soon

Well, the cause of the aging disease has been revealed:

"It was because of an experiment-gone-wrong on Mr. Botros' healing potions. While he was getting younger, the people'd he touched got older and it spread like an epidemic." She had already apologized to the man, though, so she didn't try to do it again. It was also up to the staff to officially announce the reason. She only hoped they wouldn't blame it on Abraham.

The Headmistress has given her speech and announced the cure! Hooray!

Anastasia tossed back the goblet in one go, choking it down and gagging a little bit because of the smell. She forced the vile beverage down regardless because this was THE cure. This was it! THIS would take her back to her wrinkle-free red-haired self! Once the drink was drank, the Headmistress wiped her mouth on the back of her hand and hobbled around the table to her usual speech-giving spot. Was it just her imagination or was the skin on her face and neck tightening up already? She gripped the edges of the podium tight nonetheless, cast sonorous on herself, and spoke up to the crowd.

"Attention teachers and students, we have FOUND a CURE to the aging disease! Healer Boyle and...." shoot, what was his name, her mind wasn't 100% just yet, "Healer Wombat will be around to each table with the potion shortly. You will want to mix it with something to dilute the.... taste." And the smell, for reals. "So help each other out and pass that along.

"Thank you all for surviving this term; as of right now, I only know of one staff member leaving, and that is because she wishes to further her divination studies abroad." Annie sort of turned her head in Calista's direction before facing forward again.

Now one last thing before they could eat... "Congratulations to Hufflepuff for winning the House and Quidditch Cups, AND Gobstones too. Congrats to Ravenclaw for coming in second place in Quidditch and Gobstones, and to Gryffindor for coming in second in the House cup." That had been a long time coming for both of those houses, so that was why she was recognizing them. "Congratulations also to all our graduating 7th years and best of luck. That's all I have to say, so without further ado, let's EAT and DRINK UP!"
