Character Spotlight!
A special congratulations to Jessame Rose Trewelly for earning the fortnight's spotlighted character! She has worked hard on her biography and it has paid off big time! Her devotion to her character has been a model to all of those who are still working on developing their characters. (Read more here...)
MESSI Writing Competition!
Surprise surprise! MESSI had a writing competition, but things didn't run as smoothly as they should have. No no, there was just one winner, and that is Mike Goulding by default! However, just because he won by default does not mean that his entry sucked or anything. To be honest, I lurved it (and that is saying a lot!
)! (Read here for his marvelous entry...)MESSI Caption Competition: Voting!
MESSI has started a new competition, one that is rather funny, let me tell you. At any rate, voting has officially closed this morning, and the winner as it appears to be is Artemis Blackmoore-Yearling! (Read more here...)
Darkorchid Flowers Have Lost A Valuable Petal
Yes, it is true, if you have noticed the lack of one moderator from the moderator and administration list at the bottom of the board. Our beloved Abby (Isabella Chaos) has stepped down from being Global Moderator. She and all of her colorful characters will be missed here in HNZ. Remember her fondly as she travels to her beloved city and starts fresh in New York City. (Read here for the entire story...)
Applications: Notice!
Please, do not PM to see if your application has been processed or not of you have waited a while. With sorting underway, applications have been delayed, but the awesome Admins have not forgotten your application and you will receive an answer soon, just be patient as with sorting, they have to look at hundreds of applications. (It might be hundreds...I am unsure. If you want to count all the first years and the thirty-some transfer applications, be my guest!)
Staff Site Blawg Reminder!
The site staff has posted up new blawgs about more infos and such. With new blawg posts comes fresh entertainment for the minds of the members when they see what has been going on in the minds of the purples. (Site Staff Blawg is found here...)
4000 Registered Accounts on HNZ?!
Nick has been very excited over this, as should you be! 4000 registered accounts are on HNZ, and that my friend, is a lot. Congratulations to HNZ for having so many accounts and members!
See the images (provided by Nick's handy-dandy iPod) here and here.New Elite Members!
Been on HNZ for a year or longer? Make sure to PM Nick stating that you are Elite and he will add you into the Elite group! (But I must say, I don't know which group is better - Nick's Slaves or the Elites. Hmmmm)
Updated Application System!
The Application system has been updated as some have seen through the transfers and the sorting forms! Now, all applications are slightly easier on the back side. Successful application notice page is now a bit more customizable and may be used in the future to determine how long wait times for different requests types are expected to be based on capacity. Give a round of applause for Nick for nifting up the codes!
Character Developments!
Character Developments have been sorted and branched off by groups instead of archives! So, if your character has been sorted now, please PM the Staff to move it to the appropriate forum.
This is an older update, but hey, even some updates are forgotten from time to time but that does not make them any less important!Interactive Lessons: Voice your opinion now!
We need your opinions on interactive lessons. Everyone's voice counts, and the decision to keep the lessons interactive will be the best, of course. (More information, read here...)
Accio! Yearbook of Year 9 is Released!
The Yearbook has been released once again! We thank those hard working staff of the yearbook as they continue to surprise us and dazzle us with pages of our students! We got to see the Superlatives, and congratulate those who won! And finally, we even have staff that will be working on year 10 really soon! To putting their lives on hold to do the yearbook, it is a tiring job, and their efforts are not in vain. (Read here for more information and to see the year book...)
Sorting and Transfers!
Sorting for Year 10 continues on! This will probably close when we get a week into the first semester, so you bound-to-be first years hurry and get sorted! On another note, Transfers are no longer being accepted, as first years are the main priority of the school. Congratulations for those transfers who got accepted! (Read here for more informations...)
Here is a nifty chart our Nick has provided us for the transfers (first years won't be shown yet because their sorting has not closed):
Transfers!
Remember to PM your HoH (Professor Styx, Professor Fletcher, Professor Spenser or Professor Sangora) for your electives if you are a third year and up to receive your supplies and the password to get into the elective classrooms.
For those who are Sixth years and up, if you wish to attend Herbology for your NEWT course, best to PM Professor Styx with your OWL grade as it is required.
Year 10 Starting!
Woots! Another year is starting! Classes open up for posting tomorrow (Monday)! Remember that lessons are optional but they are a good way to develop your character! Remember that if you do not post, you still pass with an A (Acceptable) anyway. Let's get pumping for the new year!

Holiday Forums: Closing!
You students better wrap up those holiday threads because they are closing! The students are to have their threads finished or at least paused to be continued. Remember you cannot use an adult character to post as your students when the forums close. You have your warning right here: (Read here for the announcement...)
New Professors!
As dear Amanda takes her leave from HNZ for a long while, we needed to hire out two new Charms professors, and also needed to hire yet another Potions professor.
Please welcome Professor Anabelle Rose who teaches Charms Years 1-3 to the Professors!
As well as Professor Jessica Peters as temporary Charms professor for Years 4-7 while Amanda is MIA.
Finally, we welcome Professor Nicolas Hensel among the professors. Professor Hensel teaches Potions Years 5-7.
Good luck to all of you new Professors and we look forward to your teachings!
A New Slytherin for 20 Minutes?!
It seems like Nick made a funny and crossed over to the dark side when he became a Slytherin as proved right here. It is ironic that Kingy is a Gryffindor alumni as well. Most epic Slytherin there was? I believe so.
[ul][li]The Beautiful Consequences (Obsidian Harbor)
~ "In 'I didn't order a silver bracelet!', Effie stops in at the Poison Ater for a bite to eat and gets a bit more than she bargained for; a silver bracelet and a shy chef.

In 'The Beautiful Consequences', that one night turns into two surprise packages for two prospective parents thrown in the deep end. Effie tells Audel that she is pregnant with twins, no less. If this is not enough, Noah comes to say hi to his little sister and Audel finds out just how much trouble he and his love are in. 'Will this cause a problem? Yep!' continues on with Audel's plan to get Alphonse Snow to accept him as guardian of Effie with the help of Nicolette. But there's one thing he didn't tell Effie and Alphonse is going to find out exactly what it is; and why Audel is just so determined to care for his family. (Overall summary of the plot, and the RPs leading up to the plot are as followed
