Hello everyone! We've got a BWU chock full of information. Please give it a read!
Week 3 starts tomorrow!
We are heading into week three tomorrow. Hope you've been keeping up with lessons!
Valentine's Day events!
Hearts and roses abound in the Great Hall as the Valentine's Dance is underway. Haven't checked it out yet? What are you waiting for! The event will close mid-week, so don't delay in starting your roleplay.
It's been great fun watching all of the rose topics go up. I believe the deadline to have posted your roses was today! A big thank you to everyone on team roses, especially the leaders, Kaye and Kris.
Quidditch
The Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff match is just about to get underway. It should be a good one! Lots of conflict on both teams lately.
How will that translate to the match?
Dueling Tournament
The tournament is getting underway today. I can't wait to see all of the exciting match ups! Which students will earn the title of top dueler for their year? At this point, it could be anyone!
A big thank you to the leaders, Kiersten and Charlie, for hosting the event and their professor helpers for helping monitor the duels.
That was a long one! Hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Any questions or comments? Drop a line below.
Have a lovely fortnight.

An Orchid Heading Off
We want to inform you all that Lovi will be leaving the GM team, effective today. Lovi rejoined the team in August 2020 and was with us for a couple of years before that, and we want to extend a huge thank you for all of the help she's offered in her role as a GM. Being a GM comes with having to dedicate a portion of what would otherwise be fun HNZ time to sometimes completing not-so-fun tasks, and with the challenges of everyday life (and the not so everyday life amid a pandemic) that can take its toll. Real life always comes first, and we wish Lovi the best of luck as she continues to push forward towards her real life goals!
Minister for Magic: Elections
The applications for Minister for Magic are STILL open! But they won't be for long. Applications will close during the morning (EST) of Saturday, February 12th so if you are interested in applying, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible! Any questions about the application or about the position can be posted in this topic or PMed to me and Emzies.
With that, we also encourage anyone with a Daily Prophet character to take a look at their special area.
Scits and Aurors should also do the same if you haven't already.
Anonymous Compliments
It's back! Anonymous Compliments are back and just as exciting as ever. We encourage you to take a look at the topic to learn what it's about and to join in the fun!
Accio!
Thanks to a great deal of effort from the yearbook staff, we now have access to old yearbooks again along with the return of...the DOLLS! It was so nostalgic to see them!
If you don't know what I mean, take a look at some of the older yearbooks! You can join in on this blast from the past through an IC event.
Thanks yearbook team!
Character Spotlight
We are back with another character to spotlight. For this month, the spotlight is on Kadi's Poppy Perkins!
Join us in congratulating Kadi on this accomplishment! And if you have any questions about her character, ask away!
