Welcome to the Bi-weekly update. My name is Mia, and I will be taking you through what is happening around the site this fortnight.
Quidditch
Congratulations to Hufflepuff who beat Slytherin in the second match of the HNZ season. Despite the somewhat short game, both teams managed to get points on the board before Felix caught the snitch, resulting in a score of 170:20. This means that Hufflepuff will take on Gryffindor next semester, and Slytherin will be against Ravenclaw to determine the final scores. But before we get ahead of ourselves, keep an eye out for Beauxbattons vs Ilvermorny next week.
Halloween
Thank you to everyone who took part in the Halloween feast. Much fun and spooking was had by all. Thank you for all the costume contest entries. There were some great entries; the results will be announced shortly.
If you didn't get a chance to RP or don't have anyone in school. Madam Puddifoot's is holding a Halloween event which is open to all
Club Events
After the fair, there are a lot of events going on in each of the clubs.
The Brotherhood of Magic are looking after themselves with a series of stations for self care
Conclomerated arts club are painting tiles to make a mural on the wall. there is also a casual drop-in jam session for anyone who wants to join in (skill not required)
The Heta Omega girls are having a camp out with s'mores, crafts and stories
History Club are learning about famous people from history
Hogwarts Monthly are coming up with ideas on how the paper can be improved
Accio is busy taking photos (this is your bi-weekly reminder to post your class and club pictures)
keep your eyes open for events coming for the Student Defence Association and Wild Patch Club
Week 5
We are just about to enter week five as I write this; Gryffindor is in the lead, followed by Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Get those lessons posted to avoid having to blitz everything at the end of the semester. And remember, professors, if you cannot post for whatever reason, please reach out to site staff so we can assist.
So there we go. Well done, we made it. Thank you for reading this BWU. But more importantly, thank you for being here. You are a valued member of the HNZ community, and all the time you put into it is very much appreciated. Be kind to yourself and give yourself the love and attention you need.
