HELLO!! I write to you from the midst of working in a children's summer-camp, and forgetting how to converse and interact with adults, so please keep this in mind when reading the following update! xD


Read All About It

THERE'S A NEW ISSUE OF HOGWARTS MONTHLY???? Are you excited? I'm excited. Check it out here! As a lil' bonus, it's editor Lennon Cohen-Knight's last year on the newspaper, so a huge shoutout to him, and his dedicated staff for their hard work.

The Wheels on the barrow go Round and Round
Yes, the critically acclaimed HNZ WHEELBARROW RACE (!!) is back! Join in the fun here, (provided you've signed up) or head over here to laugh at cheer on all the participants!

Valentines?
Have you found the one? Do they make your heart skip a beat? Why do bird suddenly appear every time they're near? If any of the aforementioned applies to you, or if you just love love, please sign up for Y31's flower delivery! It's become a great HNZ tradition, and always leads to plenty of funny interactions.

On Trial
On a more serious note, The Trial for Metrophanes Matthias has begun, make sure to take a peek at the underside of the political sphere.

Politics, right?
Speaking of politics, the next debate is coming soon! This debate concerns the economy, and so will be of import to many of New Zealand's adults, and soon-to-be adults as they face into the working world. Keep an eye out for it around the 24th!

Election Update!
In more political news, Carter Kaster has announced his choice to retire from New Zealand's race for Minister of Magic. After his wife's death, he feels that his children need the presence of their father. On her anniversary he realised that the election was taking too much of his time, and that if he were successful in his campaign, even more of his time would be taken by the job. He wants to focus on his family. Good luck Mr. Kaster!

I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM
WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM! There's a fabulous, flavoursome ice-cream event going on at Florean Fortescue's, run by the lovely Georgiana Night! Take a look at the event details here, and get creative!

Duelling results.
The results are in, and Professor Aeon Summers has risen triumphant in the professor's duelling contest. Check out the final round here.

Yule Ball Shenanigans
Annndd, the Yule Ball is closed as of the 11th, but there are some topics still bopping about, and plenty of fun to drink in, so head to the Great Hall to snoop on the drama.



Teachers make the Little Ones Count

We :wub: Pat
The wonderful Pat is going to be taking some time away from the site. As we always say, "Real Life Comes First." So, we're all sending her love and can't wait for her return. Whenever she's ready, we'll be ready to welcome her.

Loving the Limelight
We've got a brand-spanking-new Character Spotlight! Who loves a character spotlight? We love a character spotlight. Congratulations to Claire, who roleplays the lovable and laudable Professor Monty Pendleton! You can check out Claire's interview here!

School's (almost) back!
The holidays are rapidly coming to a close. So make sure to enroll you student characters in classes and purchase their required supplies before it gets too late! Remember, with the new system you have to roleplay all purchases, so give yourself plenty of time.

Marcos has asked Gabriella to the Yule Ball. They both feel pretty nervous about it for the first time.
There is some dynamic but Gabriella can't place it, or has trust in the situation. Is there something growing between them?
Or does Gabriella only push Marcos away, and follow daddy's instructions to focus more on getting good grades?[/li][/ul]
