CONGRATULATIONS RAVENCLAW! If you haven't noticed, Ravenclaw has taken the house cup this year and their shiny colors are highlighting the site. Good work!
We made it through another school year and all of the end of year festivities are still around for you to post in. Follow this link to head to graduation and this link to head to the end of year feast.

And don't forget to join in on reacting to your or other people's sorting!

Now Hiring: 3 Professors
We have quite a few openings this time around. If you think you have the time to take one on, please apply! Apps will close soon.
MESSI: applications open
We are also accepting applications for the next MESSI group! Read more by clicking here. This app will also be closing soon.
Character Spotlight
Our July Spotlight is on Kadi's character, Margo Fox. Join us in the topic to congratulate Kadi and ask questions about her character, methods, etc.
Reminder about the inactivity policy
Just a reminder that characters can be made inactive any time after 90 days of inactivity. If your characters holds a job which you would have had to submit an app for - Ministry, Auror, Hogwarts Staff, Healer, etc. and your character goes inactive, you cannot be placed back into the group without reapplying. If you apply for something and are approved, we expect that you will take advantage of it.
We don't know what we don't know
We just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone, that though as staff we do see a lot, it doesn't mean we see everything, it doesn't mean we know everything. We say it a lot, but it's very useful for people to tell us about things, about if they're busy, about if something happens, so that we can plan accordingly. It's easy when things happen to just forget to send us a message, but once you do get a moment, it can be useful. We never need to know details, but we do just need to know. Further if you spot something on site, or if you're being affected by something happening off site that's relevant, do tell us. Things being on our radar is useful. We just need to be kept in the loop with things. Being kept in the loop makes it so much easier for us to do things. We don't know what we don't know.
