Bi-weekly Update

Wow, has the time been flying! It's time for another BWU so let's get right to it.

Week 6 begins tomorrow!
The headline says it all. Week 6 starts as of Mondayv(today!) and with that we start to head into the last leg of the semester. Professors, please begin to catch up on grading and do let us know if you need any assistance. Slytherin is currently in the lead, but it is still anyone's game!

We do also want to offer the reminder to OWL & NEWT professors to consider posting your exams a few days early to allow people time to complete them!

Graduation
Seventh years: Please check your PMs and respond with your guests' names. Thank you!

The quidditch season is now officially over!
The final game of the season, between Gryffindor and Beauxbatons, finished with a Gryffindor win! Congrats to Gryffindor on winning the quidditch cup! And good work to everyone throughout the season! Check out the game here and any last minute quidditch talk can happen here!


Club events!
The Heta/Brotherhood musical chairs event recently came to a close with a Heta win!

The dueling tournament is still ongoing but coming to a close!

Thank you to the proctors of these events for keeping them moving along.

Shop updates
A new guide for shopkeeping was sent out to all of the current shopkeepers. We do encourage all shopkeepers to begin getting ready for the upcoming sorting period by hiring/checking in on assistants and archiving/completing any old sales. Sorting will be here before you know it!

We also have four shops up for grabs! Check out the listing for additional information.

Apps will close soon-ish
As we head towards the sorting period, don't forget that most apps will close in order for the admin to focus on sorting. So, if you've been thinking about an app, now is the time to submit.

Reminder about AI policy
As the end of semester rush to complete lessons is approaching, we want to remind everyone about our AI policy.

Thank you for coming through on this HNZ!

• Spain with an S - Elio and Killian have taken the girls on their first family holiday, in the hopes of making some new memories and give the four of them the chance to get to know each other a little better. It's the start of a new era, where more than one thing may be about to change.
• Victories all around - Ten takes advantage of the celebrations following Gryffindors win over Beauxbaton and Veronica's very unlikely snitch catch to plant one on Gryffindor's new Quidditch hero in lieu of confessing her feelings. New HNZ power couple anyone?
• Just You and Your Anger - Two old friends reunite in a surprising way, it's weird but also sweet. Also read: Silver Tongue in the Shadows & After Work Drinks
• Warning Signs - Morrie Ayre is summoned to the headmaster’s office after he received one too many complaints about her behaviour and he feels it’s time to intervene before things get worse. Will Morrie see Matt’s attempt to help, or will she spiral further?

​

• An update to a past suggestion.
• House cup winners announced
• Graduation

There you have it! I hope you all have a great fortnight!
