Hi everyone! It's my turn to report the updates so here we go! 
Week 3 of lessons
We are heading for week 3, and the year has started off strong. Quidditch practices, house (and other) meetings, and the club fair are all happening. And lessons, we can't forget those.
Plenty of RP opportunities so join, join, join!
Quidditch
The first game of the season is over, Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw. And the Hufflepuffs came away with the win! If you'd like to chat about quidditch OOC, head here. If you want to have your character react, the stands are the place to do that. And, of course, you can find the game here.
Wheelbarrow Race
The wheelbarrow race was full of drama and fun. If you didn't have the chance to read it through, you can find it here! And, if you have any OOC thoughts, keep the conversation going here.
A big congratulations to the winners: Amodeus Jones & Teddy Pirrip
And to Fraser Fergusson & June Davenport and Elodie Wynshaw & Artemis Vasilakis for second and third place, respectively.
House points will be awarded soon!
Sorting: By the Numbers
Sorting closed at the end of week 1, and if you're interested in knowing how the numbers shaped out, look no further:
Slytherin: 11 Ravenclaw: 14 Hufflepuff: 14 Gryffindor: 13
Fun times on HNZ! I hope you all make some time for self care this week. We'll be back in two weeks with the next BWU!

Thank you, Claire!
We're sure you have noticed by now, but Claire is taking her leave from HNZ. We want to offer her a huge thank you for all of her help as a global moderator and a member onsite. Claire has always been an advocate for developing the OOC community aspects of HNZ and played a big role in our decision to bring MESSI back onsite. We wish her the best of luck with all of her future projects as she retires from the site!
MESSI
After reviewing all of the applications that we received, we decided to accept them all! If you haven't already, please join us in congratulating and welcoming Rowan, Camilla, Kiersten, Maria, and Anna to MESSI. They are already hard at work in the planning phase, and we look forward to seeing the work they do to impact the HNZ onsite community.
Werewolf
This Halloween, we'll be playing a fun HalloWerewolf game, hosted by Rowan! Have you signed up?
