HEY HNZ!
It's a BWU again!
Since it's my first BWU since coming back, I thought it would only be fitting to post it late. ^_^



Commence: Y28!
Y28 has begun!
That means students will be getting lesson notifications as they're posted. (If you haven't registered your 3[sup]rd[/sup]+ year student in their classes in the gradebook yet - you should do that!)
That means we have a Start of the Year Feast that attendance is mandatory at in-character so there's really no reason why your school-related character isn't replying to it right now.
That means that so many amazing things that haven't been happening during our slight pause are about to go again on full blast.

Quidditch Tryouts
All houses have posted Quidditch tryouts to form their teams for the year. Let's try not to let Slytherin win!
Ravenclaw Tryouts
Hufflepuff Tryouts
Gryffindor Tryouts
Slytherin Tryouts

Sorting & Transfers
Sorting is still open for a little while yet, so if you are waiting to sort that one amazing character get to it!
Transfer applications closed & were processed - so welcome to HNZ: Isabelle Vernier, Matthew Harper, and Eva Mariani!

Prefects & Headboy / Headgirl!
Congratulations to all the students that have shiney new badges for Y28:
Headgirl & Boy: Alana Finch and Felix Warrick
New Prefects:
Tholomyes Fontaine & Isabelle Marie
Reuben Lagowski & Hilton Tiwari
Charlotte Owens & Daniel Rosemary
James Cade & Rudolf Lagowski

New Professors
We have new professors!
Filling permanent posts are:
Professor Matt Ward (History of Magic Years 5-7)
Professor Maurice Welch (Herbology Years 5-7)
Professor Dannii Merrythought (Care of Magical Creatures Years 3-4)
Filling temporary positions are:
Professor Alaric Snyder (Defence Against the Dark Arts Years 1-4)
Professor Christelle Benoit (Transfiguration Years 5-7)
& One yet-to-be-name professor for Defence Against the Dark Arts years 5-7

ACCIO!: Y27
The HNZ student yearbook ACCIO! has been released for Y27 - you can view it here.
Kaitlyn has claimed that it is "perfected" - so if you notice any errors, hush up! :p

A huge thank you to the team behind Accio!


Bye-Bye-Bye
We're sad to see Kaitlyn take a step back from her role on the site helping with so many things as she leans into a busier season of real-life, but we'll be excited to see her back in her purpley soon enough! So nobody bother Kaitlyn too much for a little bit (unfortunately, this includes me, too :( ).

CYNDI IS AMAZING
I really shouldn't have to say any more - but I will. Cyndi has been an admin on HNZ for six years and counting! So if you haven't told Cyndi how much you've appreciated her help, hard work, patience, perseverance, and ability not to cuss you out when you've been rude/annoying/careless/broke the rules/broke the board - maybe now's not a bad time to do that!

The wheel has been spun!
RP Roulette is off again and roleplays have been assigned! So if you signed up a character (or three!) make sure to check and see who you're roleplaying with, coordinate, and get going on your roleplay - then, when it's amazing, send it to us as a plot highlight!​

[ul][li]A Wonderful Shop
Phoebe wanders into a curious shop and finds a friend inside.</LI>
[li]A Matter of Urgency
Alexander has something he needs to tell Victoire. What is it? :o
[li]Some Advise
Someone needs fashion advice, and Evelyn Manning is on call to help!
[li]Dear Lucas
After Lucas made clear he liked Evelyn more than a friend, it was difficult for Evelyn to tell him that she doesn't have the same feelings for him and only see's him as her best friend. Their friendship was under some pressure and resulted in avoiding eachother. Now in the holiday Evelyn wants to have things normal again before they will return for their third year at HNZ, and she writes Lucas hoping he can accept the situation.
[li]Get It Over With
Sophie Wilson runs into trouble while trying to purchase a wand. [/li][/ul]

[ul][li]The Club Fair!
[li]Your house meeting! (If it's not up yet~)
[li]A prefect's meeting! (Famous for drama in years past...)
[li]Gryffindor winning the house cup! (At time of posting the house points board has Gryffindor in a clear lead.)
<LI>[li]SIX MORE YEARS OF CYNDI BEING AN ADMIN! :party:
[/li][/ul]I'm quite sure that's not everything, but it's enough!
Make sure to post your sass about something I missed below (or just share your other thoughts/comments/excitement for all the amazing stuff that's happening right now)!

Congrats to the new professors, prefects, and head people :party:

& Thanks for the update, Nick!
 
Yas thanks for the update Nick! :party:

And I keep missing my character's birthdays...like the twins.
 
*Takes deep breath*

Vex's post in the start of year feast was amazing. =)) =))

:shifty: I think it's Hufflepuff's turn to win the Quidditch cup. Or failing that, Claw :emzies:

Congratulations to the headpeople and prefects!! I was not expecting both Reuben and Rudolf to be picked, but it's probably a relief (the other would have just kept stealing the badge anyways :r ). Congratulations to the new professors, too. :hug:

Accio looks wonderful! Thanks so much to the team :hug: and I hope you enjoy some well-earned time off, Kaitlyn :p we'll miss you!! Thank you for all you do and take good care of yourself <3

Huh... I guess I'm the only one she doesn't bother restraining for :r
Kidding, love you Cyndi, thank you so much again for everything you do :hug:

I'm really excited to read all the RP roulette topics! And to figure out why Monty's in the hospital wing with two students =)) potions accident? :shifty:

Striding ahead xD xD I love that Aurora didn't even want to earn house points, and managed to earn the first 3 of the year.


Wait, hang on... six MORE years of Cyndi?

:drat: :r


Thanks so much for the update, Nick!!! :party: But get your act together next time.

 
Thanks for the update Nick!
Congrats to all the new professors!

Wait a minute...six more years?! I just calculated how old I'll be in six years x_x


SO MUCH IS HAPPENING! :party: I don't know that I've been this excited for a school year in ages. Maybe it's because I'm graduating two people this year. xD
But yay for Roleplay Roulette. I will be reading them all! :geek: Yay for quidditch tryouts! Slytherin FTW. Yay for new transfers!
And a special yay for Accio!! The staff is awesome and works so hard, and I appreciate it all! ^_^

Oh, and before I forget, a club fair is coming soon. Stay tuned y'all :r
