Hi guys!! I've got quite a few presents to wrap (yes I start early shh) so I'll jump right on in with these exciting updates!! 
Week 3
It's the beginning of week 3 already! Doesn't the term fly by? And already those firsties are getting caught out of bed.
As usual we'd like to remind professors to please keep up to date with posting and marking their lessons. And if you haven't posted a make-up topic for your students to catch up on missed lessons, now would be as good a time as any to do it!! Thank you.
Sorting Results
Sorting has come to a close! The final results are as follows:
Time for the sorting hat to rest for another year (but don't worry, he'll be woken up again before we know it
).
Quidditch
We began the year with a fantastic match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, ending in 150-10 win to the eagles. Congratulations! Currently in progress is the second match of the semester, Slytherin vs Hufflepuff, which you can watch here, and discuss here on the on-topic board.
Brightstone Weekend
Brightstone is open to students! Whether you'd like to catch up on old, unfinished roleplays, or start new ones, now is the time to do it. Just remember to get parental permission, amirite?
Yearbook Reminder
Just a quick reminder to 7th years to check their inboxes, as they'll have received a PM regarding the Accio! yearbook. Thank you!
Shopkeeper Apps
The Hog's Head, Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, The Inner Eye, Vibez, and The Medley are hiring brand new shopkeepers! Running a shop is a ton of fun, so if you've any interest in applying, you can find all the necessary information right here.
Sorting Song Competition
Can I just say, the two entries for the sorting song competition were BRILLIANT! If you haven't yet seen them, you can check out the topic here. And after that, why not head over here and vote for your favourite? There isn't long left! A massive thanks to Rowan and Jamie for your awesome creative entries!
Character Spotlight
Each month we like show our appreciation for your creativity and hard work by shining the spotlight on a character whose biography and/or development stand out to us. With so many amazing characters on the site, it's always hard to choose, but this month the spotlight fell on Tholomyes Fontaine, roleplayed by the wonderful Emzies! Check out the announcement here, and join us in congratulating Emzies for her work! And as ever, keep updating those biographies your character could be next!
Accio! Staff
Thank you for the wonderful response to the hiring of new Accio! staff. In the end we chose to hire Damide Snow, roleplayed by Kelsey Ruth, and Hamish Kaster, roleplayed by Tenile. Welcome to the team!!
Fantastic Beasts Discussion
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is upon us! Like, a few days upon us, depending on where you live. As always when new HP related content comes out we like to keep all discussions on it in one topic, which has been posted here. Keeping spoilers in spoiler tags is also required, just in case anyone stumbles across the topic unsuspecting.
Applications Reopened!
Sorting has come to a close, which means that applications have reopened. We thank you for your patience during this time.
[ul][li]Birthday Celebrations and Mischief
Join in on the mischief and fun Kaia Rosemary planned for the older Rosemary twins' birthday. Anything can happen so why not cause a little trouble while you're free to do so? There are many people around anyway...</LI>
[li]Two Rebels Come Together
Let's hope this doesn't end anything like that other time Lucas Woodlock went somewhere he wasn't supposed to.
[li]Rainbows and Jelly Beans
Kalif's two favourite pupils *cough* bake him a jelly-bean cake. He'll love it, right? Right!
[/li][/ul]
[ul][li]Halloween

[li]Halloween!
[li]More disobedient firsties roaming the castle at night!
<LI>[li]DID I SAY HALLOWEEN?
[/li][/ul]Whew, thanks for sticking with me for all of that.
I hope you had as much fun reading it as I did writing. As usual, do feel free to comment below with your concerns/questions/excited seal noises.
