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.

Cat in the Great Hall!

Four quiet meows escaped its mouth before it looked away, quite satisfied with itself.
With it having long legs, it didn't take long for the wild cat to make its way beneath the staff table and jump onto the middle seat with purpose. Dark brown eyes fixated on the empty tables as the cat's tail swiftly moved back and forth as it patiently waited.

Besides its wandering eyes and the occasional ear twitch, the cat (even when the groundskeeper rubbed the top of its head with his finger) remained quite still.

The pattern of the serval's fur began to expand, its ears grew small, its body quickly increased in size. Mere moments later, the African wild cat that was casually perched on the chair was no more. Now standing, looking out at the students, was a tall man clad in an orange-patterned cotton top. He smiled at those who had watched him return to his human form. Standing briefly in silence, he waited for those students at the dais to return to their seats before speaking.
"Good evening. I would like to welcome each of you, old and new, to Hogwarts. Before I introduce myself, it has come to my attention dat dere are two new staff members dis term: Professah Yoon, who will be teaching Divination, and Professah Stewart, who will be teaching Muggle Studies. Please join me in welcoming dese ladies as dey each begin deir journey here at dis legendary school."
He clapped his hands together, shifting his posture first toward Professor Yoon and then at Professor Stewart. He gave each woman a courteous nod of his head before he faced the students again.
"As you all can see, your da'ling Headmistress Moxley is not standing in front of you today. Da International Confederation of Wizards has arranged an exchange program for da headmastahs and headmistresses at each of da eleven major wizarding schools to promote international cooperation and broaden our own pedagogical perspectives," he explained with a warm smile, pausing to let his words sink in. "My name is Headmastah Sahnoun, and I taught alchemy at Uagadou School of Magic for twenty years before I became headmastah several years ago. Even dough I am far from my homeland, I am so glad to be joining you at Hogwarts dis term."
He paused again, only this time to feel his stomach churn. The smile on his face grew wider, knowing that everyone else must have been just as hungry. A low chuckle escaped his lips.
"I am sure dat you all have grown tired of listening to an old man ramble, so I will leave it at dat. Welcome to Hogwarts, and ready yourself for a year filled with many learning opportunities. Now, let us eat ... or, as we say at Uagadou, hebu kula!" The man then clapped his hands together and took his seat as food of all varieties appeared.
And here is our HeadMEOWster!
(And food. Which are we really more excited about?)
Welcome to Hogwarts, Headmaster Sahnoun! We hope we don't scare you off.
So, um...we have a little.............pickpocket problem O__O

Kiddies always had shinies. One Niffler, a bit slimmer and faster than it's fellows, walked up to two females kiddies making quite a bit of noise. The Niffler sniffed at one of the girl's (Esme's) ankles before it's long nose reached up and into the girl's pocket to rummage through it's contents.
SHINIES??????

They thundered into the Slytherin dorm, heading into whichever room they could get into, the boys' dorms it seemed, and began to sniff around a few of the rooms with much determination to find SHINIES.
Turned over trunks, digging holes in beds, and one niffler even peed in the corner of the room! Did someone have a feather pillow? Because feathers were now everywhere. A niffler had its nose in one of the boy's drawers, digging in its contents for shinies.
OOC: There's a small herd of them making chaos around here. Feel free to interact with them whatever age your Slytherin is, whichever dorm he is in. Also, feel free to say the nifflers have ruined something of your child's if you want!
zee nifflers strike again! this time in the HEADMASTER'S OFFICE O__O

The headmaster's office.
With the stairway left ajar, and the office door left open by someone (the nifflers didn't care) the animals pelted into the office, SMELLLLLLLLLLLING the shinies as soon they got in.

Hope the headmaster didn't mind his nice things being ruined because there was utter chaos in his office right now.

Quote:
In the middle of the December day the sun was shining, air was cold, and it seemed like a peaceful moment on the grounds. Though it was daylight a greenish glow started to be seen through the trees of the forest.
The glow seemed to be the start, but it wasn't all that was new with the forest. An eerie but hypnotic lullaby could soon be heard.
Torie stumbled through the Great Hall not really paying close attention to where he was going but his dull, blank eyes definitely searching for something. Gold he mumbled as he jerked a little as he stumbled forward slowly. Torie find gold he mumbled looking for anything shiny. Whether it be a necklace someone was wearing or a ring on their fingers or bracelet on their wrist.

Rattle! Rattle! Rattle! The door wasn't opening. Book. Spell. Eyes glazed, unresponsive; body stiff and awkward, Hadley Denaker was either asleep or undead. Either way she was clumsily trying to get into Professor Primeaux's office.
Book. Spell. Spell. Book.
Spell book. Scratch scratch scratch. The unresponsive girl was now trying to claw her way into his office. If she thought anything, it seemed perhaps that what she was looking for might be in there. But Hadley wasn't really thinking, just running on instinct. Spells. Charms. Primeaux. Book. "Booooook." Scratch, scratch. Claw, claw. BASH! BASH! BASH! She was determined to get in the office and search.
FIRST, we got these guys having a party or something in the Armour Gallery:

This human dwelling smelled better than than the last one. There were also many more shinies to sniff out, and the nifflers began to file into the different rooms, digging into chests of drawers, trunks, pillow, under beds, and more important, chewing holes in clothes to GET TO DA SHINIESSSSSS.
Necklaces.
Money.
A butterfly hairclip?
All belonged to the nifflers now. But they kept sniffing for MOREEEEE.

One of its companions followed suit, not really concerned with his pal but more concerned with finding LE SHINIES. It ignored the human in the human!bed and went riiiiiiiiight for the trunks, sniffing at it with eagerness.
SHINIES HERE?

However, the glitter dissipated as the snifflers ran towards it, the air pushing it out of a pile of glitter and more of a scatter of glitter. The snifflers became uninterested in it, and they had thus far been able to escape the cages the human sent their way.
Butterfly clip in its mouth, along with its fellows and their various booty they had managed to plunder from the dorm, they made their exit.....
The one was petrified under the other human's bed.

It's a fairytale evening, and you want the entire event to be totally dazzling and
a real experience with the friendliest people around you.
Out of the forest and around the lake he gooooooooooes with eight tree trunk legs moving as swiftly as possible through the snow. Aletag decided then and there that he much rather preferred spring at Hogwarts, despite his late mother's invasion attempt somewhat tainting the season...but it would be far too late were he to wait until then to seek out the humanfolk of Hogwarts and deliver relay his concerns.
Now WHERE were the humanfolk?
"DWELLERS OF THE CASTLE! I SEEK YOUR COUNSEL NOT YOUR FLESH!" the acromantula shouted, front legs waving in the air wildly to draw even more attention to his large black body.

An update on Aletag:

"Would be better if I had a whole roasted turkey within my pincers," Aletag replied, clicking them together eagerly. "But can't complain otherwise."
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM TURKEY MMMMMMMMMMMMM.
And ever so kind of her not to draw her stick on him. Aletag noticed movement just a bit in the distance...the form of another human leaping behind a tree, but thought nothing more of it. "Though...you could tell your friend they can come out from behind that tree," he added as he approached her closer.
Aletag clicked his pincers together eagerly at the human girl's (FwooperOnYourLeft) offer. "That would be splendid!"
With the promise of a whole roasted turkey on the horizon, his previous precious long gone now, the acromantula was about to leap hairy legs first into his dramatic retelling of events when more humanfolk (Jean Granger) began showing up.
Was that some sort of human riddle?
"The sky? Clouds?" Human intellect was something that remained a bit of a mystery to his kind.
OH LOOK! Even more reinforcements (Callie & Nymphadoraliz)! Shouting ones. But at least they were all keeping their sticks to themselves? Or did humanfolk at Hogwarts no longer carry their sticks with them?
"Eat you? I've never acquired the taste of human flesh, unlike my predecessors and some of my brothers and sisters." Like his dearly departed mother. "The alliance between my colony and Hogwarts prohibits us from it." An alliance that he was coming to honor now so the shouting could stop, yeah? "Strange happenings in the forest these days....very strange...including unusual movements by some of our co-residents. I've come to offer my assistance in their removal."
And maybe a snack. Not turkey exclusive.

Azula (FwooperOnYourLeft)...Coral (Jean Granger)...humanfolk had funny sounding names.
"I am known as Aletag," he greeted, clicking his pincers together several times. THE TREE WAS TALKING TO HIM NOW?! Wait no...more humanfolk (Deezerz) hanging from the tree. Twas a bit hard for the spider to position himself to see this one, but the lack of visual contact did not impede his hearing. "Are humanfolk always so hostile?" he inquired. Genuinely curious. If he had wanted to eat any of them...he would have by now. "You speak of the time when Mother ran our colony. Things are different now."
Headmaster? Aletag lifted two of his great hair legs into the air and formed an X shape across his front, his abdomen wiggling a bit and knocking into one of the humans (littledhampir). "Entirely unnecessary unless the lot of you feel that tracking down a pack of nifflers too difficult a task for wizarding blood like yourselves." Which about summed up all the humanfolk's questions, yes? "We noticed unnatural behavior some time ago and then disappeared from the forest entirely. You haven't happen to have seen any recently, have you? I would very much like to escort them home."
And have a snack.
The acromantula briefly looked to the human (Nymphadoraliz) and their final question. "Perhaps. We have not seen it...but we sense it."

"She is doing quite well, thank you for asking."
Plantain chip moving towards his lips, Airey paused and wiggled the food in Mr. Song's direction. "Plantain chip. They aren't so ba----"
Oh...that was...what was THAT feeling?
His stomach was doing some sort of funny little dance that then turned into a jig that then turned into A TANGO OF DESIRE.
Pushing his way past people as he frantically moved about the room, his eyes wildly fell on Miss Kennedy. Was there anything he liked in particular? HA....HAHAHAHAHAHA. "OF COURSE THERE IS!" he declared. Sweet solstice what an absurd question to ask of a man obviously infatuated. "Yes, yes you can. MAKE ME A MAP TO HER!"
BE USEFUL RAVENCLAW.
"No time for visits, Headmaster," the astronomer said with a dismissive hand wave right in the man's face. He had more IMPORTANT things to do.
LIKE QUESTION THE CREATURES PROFESSOR! SURELY HE KNEW THE GROUNDS LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND, YES?!
"WHERE IS SHE?!" he demanded of the man, arms reaching out and firmly grasping him by the shoulders and shaking him. Which really resulted in the Astronomy professor shaking himself given his gangly form compared to the Jupiter sized shoulders of Professor Draper.
He failed to even notice Miss Wojack-Gusey throwing the trophy at his prefect. Far too concerned on shaking extracting all the information out of James that he could. If he could rule out the grounds now...then he could find her FASTER and more EFFICIENTLY.

Not sick, exactly, but just... bereft. Like she would never be happy again, not if she didn't fill the hole opening up in her heart.
She glanced around the room, trying to be subtle, trying to find the source of this well of unhappiness, but all she was were more miserable saps like herself. All in search of a beloved one. All looking for... wait! What was Paton doing? What if he was searching for the same beloved one that Dot was searching for?
"KEEP YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OFF HER, PATON." She grabbed up the nearest trophy and flung it at his head. That'll show him.

And how rude of Draper to be standing in his way. Frankie tried leaning to look past him with no success. "Dude, you're standing in the way! Can't you see I'm looking for someone very special?" Where was she? Why was the Creatures professor asking him if everything was alright when it was obvious that the blond's hair was on point and he never felt better in his life? The prefect gasped. Did he lock her up somewhere? "WHERE IS SHE?! IF YOU DID ANYTHING TO HER, I WILL --"
OOMPH! Out of nowhere, a trophy was flung at him. Fortunately it ended up hitting him in the gut, but it still hurt. But not as much as the empty space in his aching heart. The trophy clanged to the floor, and it registered in his mind that Dot was telling him to keep his hands off of her. Oh no she didn't!
"BUZZ OFF, GINGER! SHE'S MINE!" he shouted, not hearing a single word the Divination professor was saying. The prefect then grabbed Hady's plate and starting throwing whatever was left on it at Dot. She wouldn't want to be with anyone who was covered in food. "SHE IS MINE I TELL YA! MINE!"
Some food was thrown at Flamsteed too. Frankie overheard him demanding where she was. "DON'T YOU DARE TELL HIM WHERE YOU ARE KEEPING HER! SHE IS MINE! ALL MINE! I LOVE HER! WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED AND START A FAMILY AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!"

He looked around hurriedly, at the bodies that filled the small space, and... realising almost immediately that she would not be there, and that there were others who would try to steal her away from him should they find her first...
The diminutive second year let his glazed eyes roll toward the door and, with a look of the most lovesick preteen in the world plastered across his face, headed toward it, moving fairly fast.
She had to be around somewhere.

Soon music was softly coming from the forest. The same hypnotizing song that had danced from the branches before. The forest started to glow and became inviting as if singing come all children, come and see.

Delicious children.
It was hard to stay away from them, it was. She quietly stepped closer to the grounds and tore a few leaves off some nearby trees, sniffed them then threw them away. They definitely weren't what she needed. The scent of children was close, just not close enough. But it wouldn't be long to wait. Oh no.
With a wicked grin directed towards the castle, the hag turned and disappeared back into the Forbidden Forest.

Moving over to cabinet Leo thrust open the doors to it and started to threw out tea bags carelessly around muttering. "Not ball, not cards. Must find them."
Laughing to himself the librarian with over glazed eyes was slowly turning Sora's office into a gigantic mess.

How will the professor and student get out of this predicament? Best not to fight against it too much. The more you struggle, the faster it will pull you down.

But why not make the most of the fun and SLIDE DOWN THE STAIRS? Hopefully your classes were downstairs and not upstairs.
Better step out of the way, Professor Stewart. Someone might slide into you and knock you down.
The 43rd terms Gobstones Championship winners are GRYFFINDOR ! Congrats to the lions for winning and thank you all houses for participating in the matches! Gobstones doesn't run without you. We hope you'll come back to play with us and to win the cup again for your houses next term!

It was time for her revenge and to find The Book of Mysteria that her hypnotized children couldn't find. She should have eaten them for failing and if she found them she would eat them.
Now she had to do double the work.
First though she was hungry and she could smell children. She slipped through the grounds until she came to the courtyard and saw a student (Hadleigh) alone. Sniffing the air she couldn't help her self and took of jumping and grabbing the student.
