    Welcome to the month of mirth, madness and merriment that is Gryfftoberfest, our celebration of all things Scarlet and Gold! All HOL members from all houses are cordially invited to come and join in the daring festivities and discover their inner lion.

     

    As well as our usual butterbeer fuelled hijinks and friendly competitions, this year we've decided to honour Gryffindor’s bold and adventurous reputation and we're offering staff and students the rare chance to summon their courage and explore the dark depths of the Forbidden Forest with the Keeper of Grounds (me >_>).

     

    Sign-ups for the forest expedition begin now and will end on the 7th of October. You will need to find yourself a partner (for safety purposes). We have some fun to keep you occupied while you look for your partner and wait for the tour group to depart though. Gather round the camp fire for a party full of scintillating contests, riotous mini games and plenty of marshmallows!

     

    You can sign up here and if you're still looking for a partner, make sure to check out this thread.

     

    How It Will Work
     

    Starting today, we’re giving you the chance to come up with a Motto to sum up Gryfftoberfest 2017. Once the Motto has been announced, our traditional Avatar and Signature contest will begin on the 1st of October. During the first week of October, we’ll also be posting a mini game every two days to whet your appetite for forging your way through the forest. All of these are individual activities - no partner required.

     

    The main Forest (team based) section will begin with the first field assignment on the 8th of October. You and your partner will have 7 days to work on each challenge which will be posted on Sundays and Thursdays (so one will overlap another). Remember to keep an eye on the individual deadlines!

     

    That boils down to:

    Signups: 26th September - 7th October.

    Each main task lasts 7 days - new ones will be posted on the 8th, 12th, 15th, 19th, 22nd and 25th.

     

    I've also made sure to hide boxes of beans all around the Forest. You have the opportunity to earn beans for every activity in which you take part. Each main task will be worth 30 beans per team member and you will also get a 70 beans bonus for completing all 6 tasks. This leads to a total of 250 beans for the Forest challenge. The other events will state the beans-worth in their respective threads.

     

    Without further ado, let’s begin!

    If you've got any questions about any aspect of Gryfftoberfest, please post them here and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

     

    To answer everyone's initial question before the thread gets spammed: No, you won't lose a limb in the forest. Not on my watch. >_>

    Being a professor definitely has perks as I don't have to mind for luggage allowance.

     

    First of all, I think I'll arrange to have (1) my piano moved. After all, I am set to claim the Slughorn office and there is bound to be enough space for a pianoforte. I would also make sure to bring my (2) Foe Glass with me, you never know what's luring. Then there is the (3) emerald gobstones set. I used to be on the Hogwarts Gobstone Team as a student. The (4) flying carpet I bought when I visited the Arabian Peninsula is very dear to me. Although, I tend not to keep any furniture on it as it randomly levitates a few centimetres off the ground. A shelf populated with (5) expensive bottles of appropriate drinks is a must. Then I also have to bring enough (6) crystal stemware. Both are for when Sky decides to pop up and discuss the mess her hippogriff has made and obviously for when I entertain, since that is one of my favourite pastimes. I could never leave out the (7) photographs of people dear to me, so I there is likely going to be a corner dedicated just just photographs. I do not intend to leave out my (8) traditional coffee brewing set and a (9) porcelain tea pot with matching cups. Finally, my (10) knitting and crocheting equipment has to go with me as well. Is there anything more calming than making something with your own hands next to a fireplace over a cup of tea or coffee and then having a guest or guests over for drinks, a round of gobstones and a nice sing-along by the piano?

    I knew that waiting for someone else to be goose would pay off!

     

    Please update your signature and avatar here to reflect the pair on HOL forum and add "Prof. Brighton is wonderful and I wish I had at least half his fabulous."

     

    Duck!
