End of Year 36
What a year it’s been! It feels like two minutes have passed but actually a whole 18 weeks have. It’s WILD! I have a lot to get through and a lot that needs done so I won’t waste any more of your time ehre and just jump into it!
House Cup
The winner of the house cup is Gryffindor!!
Gryffindor just seemed to always stay ahead this year, with everyone in that house seemingly working just a little bit more than everyone else. It is a well deserved victory and makes it two years in a row that they’ve won. A huge congratulations to that house and everyone in it who worked impossibly hard for those sweet sweet points. Congratulations to all of the other houses too, who kept that fight a close one. You have your character celebrate their house victory or loss over at the End of Year Feast, where you can also find out if your character won a top points prize once this has been posted. You can also use the feast to just celebrate the end of a great and productive semester.
Graduation
As ever with the end of the year, graduation is in progress! Head on over to this thread to have a look at what the head boy and girl said in their speeches and to see all the graduating students. If you have a graduating student and have not already posted then head on over and do it before the area closes. If you have a prefect, professor or are an invited guest be sure to head over to this topic and post reactions before it is too late. Graduates and their guests can also post threads within the area especially if you want your character to interact with some of their guest, take the opportunity to do so before it is too late.
Thank You Professors!
We’d like to take this opportunity to give a huge thanks to all of the Hogwarts Professors who worked tirelessly throughout this year to be able to give you all of the lessons that you were able to complete. Join me in thanking them! Now, if you were interested in having a professor, professor positions will become available soon Here. Be sure to check out what is on offer and consider whether or not you would like to take on a professor position. Being a professor can be a lot of work and we expect a lot from our professors, but the admin are here to support you in it and here to help you if need be. It is a team effort of course, so long as you communicate with us, we can help you. Look at what’s available, poke us if you have any questions and have a go at applying if you think you can spare the time for it, especially if you currently don’t hold any professor positions. Being a professor though difficult is rewarding.
Accio! Yearbook - Coming Very Soon
With it being the end of the year, the tireless people in accio have been working to bring you the new yearbook. It'll be up very soon so check back here for that. Until that happens lets show some love and thanks to our tireless accio workers; Daphne, Rowan, Kaitlyn, Kris and Kaye. Without all of their work it would not be possible, so huge thanks to them! If you want to see the other yearbooks from the last few IC years to hold you over you can find them here.
Holiday areas
The holiday areas will open in their entirety very soon. You’ll be able to RP to your hearts content during this winter break. You can buy books or sweets and just ruin the quiet peace that the non-hogwarts kids and adults enjoy. As ever, if you notice that you can’t post somewhere you should or vice versa, then reach out to myself with the issue and I’ll see about getting it resolved. Additionally all students and professors will shortly see their allowance come into their galleons - so even more money to spend.
Promotions
Promotions to your new year group will happen soon - likely this evening (GMT). Prefects and head people promotions will happen a little later during the break. Everyone will be able enjoy their new group, and be sure to kit yourself out with all new avatars and graphics. The seventh years will be placed into the graduates group until they are eventually moved into the magic group. However, if you want to do that early, or move them to another group you can head over to the standard group change here and request to be moved. Remember that Apps are now closed so you cannot apply for them to be in the ministry etc. Additional to all of this all students and professor will receive their allowances at some point over the next week. Don’t spend it all at once!
Applications
Almost all applications are now closed - the ones open are generic group change, galleons and plot highlight. Though you may be able to submit them, they won’t be processed until after apps have officially reopened. So you can expect a long wait for anything applied for.
Sorting
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: SORTING!
Sorting will be opening soon enough, so I hope you have everything ready to jump right in. As ever the first person to post once it’s open wins the pride of being first! Be on the lookout for a post from the admin to indicate that sorting has been opened! Then you will be able to sort away until the area closes. Head on over here to the reaction topic for this years sorting, where you will be able to give predictions and reactions as they happen.
That’s all from me for now! If you have any questions/comments/etc., ask away.
