Hi guys! Me again! Hope you're all having a fantastic week! There's so much going on IC right now so get nice and comfy before you read on. 
Week Two
Week two is upon us! Gosh, nearly week three. Anybody ready for sorting?
As usual, professors please make sure that you are up to date on posting and grading those lessons. And of course, if you're struggling/sick/planning an absence, please let us know so that we can cover for you! We're here to help.
And a perpetual thanks to all of you for what you do.
Quidditch
What a lot of Quidditch! The first game of the term secured Gryffindor an easy victory as Hufflepuff's team forfeited the match (we hope Mason's leg is feeling better). However, the Badgers soon made their comeback in the match against Ravenclaw, with Carlotta Raven catching the snitch just a few pages in. Then finally we had a match between Slytherin and Gryffindor game, ending in a 160-20 victory to Gryffindor.
Hogwarts Monthly Opportunity
Writing for the Hogwarts Monthly is tons of fun. Ellington Hayes, the magazine's editor, is currently offering students and professors alike the opportunity to submit their own articles, regardless of whether or not they're an official writer. Awesome! This is a great chance for your characters to have their say without any of that responsibility stuff. Students frustrated by the silly curfew? Enthusiastic about beetles? Let the voices be heard!
Roses, roses, roses!
I cannot be the only one in total awe at the sheer number of roses that were sent for Valentines! I've been touched to see the love our characters share for each other - plus the topics have often been hilarious to read! We'd like to say a huge huge thank you to Alexis for organising this event, and also to all who delivered roses for their assistance in making it happen. You're the best! Now... which was your favourite topic to participate in/read?!
Rest in Peace, Avie
On a slightly sadder note, a memorial topic has opened following Avie's passing in which your characters are encouraged to write a sentence or two in memory of the Slytherin. These messages will be featured in a special page of this year's Accio!, so if you would like yours to feature, please get it in before May IC. Secondly, an announcement was made to the school by Ava King here at which your characters can react to the news, should you wish them to. Rest in peace, Avie
IC Superlatives
Nominations for the IC superlatives have closed, and voting has opened! There has been a huge amount of participation this year, which has made me so happy to see.
Let's see if we can get a record breaking number of votes! Big thanks to Kaitlyn, Emzies, and Donna for their super hard work in making the superlatives happen.
Valentines Dance
The Valentines Dance is open! I'm so glad this was revived - I can't wait to see the loveand drama!

Zetaboards Issues
Zetaboards issues
Speaking of Cyndi, here's a message from her very self regarding the recent technical issues:
'Zetaboards originally said it would take a day or two for the search to re-index and function after each site was upgraded to the new server, but it seems they're having further troubles and they're working on it. They've currently finished with the server upgrade and are working on this issue.'
Thank you all for your patience with the down time and lack of a search function!
