Stepping down (with a silver lining)

[Tilly Drage]

Hello there HNZ,

I am having to reduce my activity on the site for this upcoming year. I don't know if some of you have noticed, but I did choose to leave my position in DADA with @Professor Lydia Drage. Please know that I really, really enjoyed this role and I did not make this decision lightly.

The reason I am doing this is because my husband and I are expecting in December. And that's not all; we are expecting twins! I am excited to meet my little ones. There is so much I need to do in the upcoming four months that HNZ has to take a back seat, and I have a very strong feeling that once they do arrive, my time on here will be limited. Right now, we are working on home renovations, decluttering, baby showers, choosing names, going to the clinic for check-ups, etc. etc. Seriously, that just feels like the tip of the iceberg.

I am planning to see Tilly through her seventh year and the upcoming Quidditch season. I would love to RP with you (just message me!) I might be slow, but I want to send her off right. I still need to decide what I'm doing with some other minor characters. If I have ongoing plots/plans with you, please reach out.

Amanda

CONGRATULATIONS AMANDA
that is very exciting news. I mean we will miss you but congratulations.
I am glad that you are taking a step back now before things get too much and overwhelming (and Hufflepuff needs a good strong quidditch team this year )
Good Luck again and i hope that we will keep seeing you around for a bit longer (Even if it is just in spam and shouty"

Hi all, just wanted to pop in with an update. Although I was hoping otherwise, I haven't had the energy to keep up with the site and that will not be changing for the foreseeable future.

Love you all! This isn't goodbye forever, just for now. You are still welcome to message me on Discord if there are any answers/clarification you need for planned plots, or you just want to say hello. Mandrake#9424

Until next time,
Amanda
