Holy wow! Welcome to Emzies takes back the BWU. Did folks have a good weekend? Enjoy Eurovision? Really dislike Portugal's entry? Right well, without further ado, let's just jump right in:
Yuleball
The Yuleball is well underway currently, it is a fun night for all students involved, creating lots of drama and new characters to have new interactions. You can check out the forum right HERE and read about all the current drama. There are still a number of open topics that you could join if you haven't already, open topics at this event can bring a lot of fun as well as new possible dynamics for characters. You can also head over to the Accio page HERE, to share the picture of your character in their outfit to be included in the yearbook.
Quidditch!
It was a long game last weekend, but finally Slytherin took the victory home, winning 190 - 10. It was a really fun game, with the beaters out on full form, the slytherin chasers played amazingly and both seekers (or should I say all three) doing an amazing job. Read the game back HERE, or any of the other games from this season so far right HERE. I can't wait until Hufflepuff grab that victory and take home the quidditch cup
Holiday Areas Open
Since it is now between semesters the holidays areas are now open to students! They will of course only be open for a limited amount of time, to be sure to get the topics started, and not run out of time. It's a good time to check out all the shops and have character maybe create some chaos.
New Shopkeepers
There are few new shopkeepers to announce, first Freya Howard, who took over Gladrags Wizardwear, Preston Paine took over Eeylops Owl Emporium and lastly we have Hortensia James taking over Dervish & Banges. Congratulations to the three of them in their new positions, best of luck in these shops!
Birthday Celebrations
As you can see by the confetti just about everywhere, it is HNZ's 12 birthday, and so because of this, we have a ton of exciting things going on. There is a very exciting game of bomb storm going on, a little captioning, a little objection, a little fun for everyone really. But there are few fun things that need mentioned specifically:
Werewolf
This is an always exciting game (although I am bitter about being killed off in the second night
) be sure to follow along with all the exciting twists and turns of the werewolf game, as the amazing Rowan hosts. Do you side with the villagers or the werewolves? Regardless, read along and if you didn't take part in this game it might encourage you to take part in the next round of it. Click HERE for werewolf fun.
Birthday Supers
The 2017 OOC Superlatives are underway, head over to this topic HERE for all the exciting information on how it works and HERE for how to nominate. Be sure to get your nominations in, it's really simple and it ensures that the people you want to see nominated are then nominated. Remember it is OOC and about the people within this wonderful community and not about the characters they create.
End of Semester One
As you can tell, the first semester of Y28 is over, we'd like to thank the professors for their work over the semester and in the grading process. All of the grading is now complete, and areas should archive lessons and exams if they have not already done so.
Applications for professors
Speaking of professors, we have new applications for people to join the Hogwarts Professor staff. We are looking for two people to temporarily take over the Muggle Studies positions, both younger and older years. Look HERE to apply. Given that it is a temporary position it is a good way to dip your toe in the teaching water and see how you like it. Being a professor can be a lot of work, and it requires a fair amount of dedication, so a temporary position is best for those who wish to give it a try.
Head of Hufflepuff House
A new exciting opportunity has arisen for the current staff of Hogwarts New Zealand, we are looking for a new Head of Hufflepuff house. This role requires that the person is active and character are active and willing to participate within school events. It is really great role, so head over HERE to find out a little more about it before applying, to decide whether it is the job for you would be keen to try for.
