Goooood day all and welcome to this Bi-Weekly update, we're heading towards to the end of the year, so everything is all hands on deck, so without further delay let's just get started
Study Week
What a semester it's been and it's just flown by, but we are now heading into the study week before exams, and this means that professors should have at this point posted all their lessons. It is an opportunity for students to catch up in classes before the exams. So that when there is a smooth transition from the end of this year to the beginning of next, we'd ask that professors be up to date with their marking, and even more so during this time leading up to exams and the end of the semester.
Exams
EXAMS! The OWLs, NEWTs and plain old regular exams all begin next week, it's a pretty busy time, and so that things run efficiently, we'd ask that anyone who knows or thinks they might have issues posting their exams to let the staff know so that the staff can post them for you in the event that you can't. We thank all the current professors for all the hard work they have put in over this semester but ask for a little bit more so we can get the exam block underway smoothly.
Graduation
For all those with seventh year characters, graduation is almost upon us, so you should watch out for that appearing by hopefully this Friday, and if you haven't done so already seventh years should reply to the the PM they received. Remember that even if you don't have a seventh year student, all Hogwarts staff and prefects are able to attend the event so they should, supporting the graduating class of 2041.
Quidditch
The last match of the season was an intense and pretty nail biting match between Slytherin and Ravenclaw, but in the end, Ravenclaw just managed to catch the snitch and then push into the lead in the Quidditch league table, which means they also won the quidditch cup. So CONGRATULATIONS
to Ravenclaw on this great victory, and you can read the quidditch topic here. BUT, it's not quite over yet! Like last year the winning team are getting the opportunity to face off with the Professors, for this team and game to go ahead we need people to sign up to play! You can read about the announcement here, and you have until Monday, perhaps early Tuesday at the latest to sign up. If people don't sign up, it can't go head, perhaps you've never tried the new system, well this is a perfect way to figure out what quidditch is all about, how it works and an opportunity to find out how much fun it is.
SCITORARI not in hiding?!
It appears as though the Scitorari have grown bold in recent days, despite all the great work the Aurors have done, the Scitorari have been bold enough to hold two events at once, one at Brightstone, which you can read here and one in Obsidian Harbour which you can read here, throw in your characters, whether they fall with the Scitorari or against and the aurors have just arrived in both locations, so it might just be getting a bit more heated. Join us in this plot, and have fun!
Brightstone Closing
The Brightstone weekend will be closing very soon and folks should try to wrap their RPs as soon as is possible. You can pick the RPs back up when the term has finished, but the areas will be closing very soon.
Birthday Celebrations
I'm sure it hasn't escaped anyones noticed but, HNZ is currently celebrating it's 11th birthday and that means there are a number of really interesting events happening around the site that you, the people of HNZ, can get involved with! And I'm just going to run through a couple here now but be sure to check out the entire section for lots of good fun;
[ul][li]White Elephant
White Elephant was a new game hosted by the lovely Cyndi, and it was a lot of fun, it was a new and different game which I think was very enjoyable for all who played. It was different, but interesting and we should all thank Cyndi for running the game. If you missed it, you can read it back Here so that perhaps if such a thing happens again more can sign up it can be bigger and even more exciting.</LI>
[li]Wereclown
Wereclown is currently in the sign up process so, everyone should hop on down to that and sign up for the game, the last game hosted by Claire was a lot of fun, and I'm sure that this one will be as much fun as the last. Click here to head over to the sign up page and sign yourself up for what is sure to be another excellent game of wereclown!
[li]Birthday Competition
There is a competition happening
and for all those competitive types, it is an opportunity to show off your impressive graphic making skills and be in the chance of winning. The prize is for at the next birthday for your graphic to be the header image on HNZ Facebook page. You can read all about it and enter here. I look forward to seeing all of the entries people will have for it! Let the best graphics person win!
[li]OOC Superlatives
OOC superlatives have begun, we are in the first stage of the OOC superlatives which means nominations. You can read all the instructions for the nomination process here, and then click on the start nominating link so that you too can nominate. The OOC superlatives are excellent fun and everyone should take part in them. It really is a lot of fun. [/li][/ul]
