Are you a first year who needs assistance getting around the castle and getting to know the staff and Hogwarts' mysterious nooks? Do you have a tricky Charms quiz tomorrow and in need of encouragement and hugs? Are you talented at something so awesome you want to teach someone all about it?

Each one of the students will get a secret note under their pillow when they wake up, with the name of their badger buddy on it. However, to make things more fun, they should not reveal identity of their secret buddy to anyone. Let's enjoy this for a while before throwing a little party to reveal the names of all the Badger Buddies (more info in the PM).

Here is a list of activities suggested to you to do for your buddy, we will reveal one or two new activities at a time, keep checking this thread!

• Secret Badger - Do at least 5 supportive or encouraging things for your Secret Badger before your identity is revealed and without letting them know.
• Getting Acquainted - RP with another Hufflepuff you've never RPed with before for more than two posts each

Those 'points' are not house points, mind you. They are score points specific for this in-house activity and the best badger buddy will get a nifty nice reward at the end of the term from professors Botros and Glendower.

ooc: Look out for a PM from me informing you of your secret badger buddy. You should have it in the next 24 hrs maximum.
