  1. Hearing a lot of noise, you poke your head into a random classroom on the 4th floor and discover that it’s full of people playing games. People are chatting but you don’t know how they can possibly hear each other over the bang of Exploding Snap cards, the complaining of magical chess pieces and the gush of Gobstones. It looks like fun, so you step inside and start looking for a game to join in with.

    The Situation:

    It’s games night at Hogwarts! Whether you’re a Gobstones goddess or a chess champion, draw up a chair and have fun.

    The Location:

    Please keep roleplay to the games room.

    Give the guidelines a read before diving in. Have fun!


  2. Hello, everyone!

    Before we start looking ahead to another magical term, I’d like to take a minute to celebrate the last one. From a quidditch victory to another spectacular Gryfftoberfest, it was a really brilliant one for the house. It was also great to see so many of you working hard in your classes and in other activities - however many points you earned, we appreciate every single one of them.

     

    And now it’s time to hand out a few shinies!

     

    First up are our points and ruby based awards.

     

    The Platinum Quill is awarded to the lion who earned the most points in the term. I’m delighted to present it to @Janne Halla who earned a staggering 1862points!

     

    The Phoenix Award is given to the Gryffindor member who earned the most rubies throughout the term. This time that’s @Raevia Ward with a fabulous 418!

     

    And the Lionheart Award is for the visitor with the highest ruby count. With a mighty score of 533, that’s @Prof. Will Lestrange!

     

    And now on to the awards decided by the Gryffindor staff…

     

    The Studious Simba Award is for someone who has truly distinguished themselves in classes. We couldn’t think of anyone more worthy of this trophy than @Janne Halla who has put in a herculean effort since joining us in the summer, in classes and in other areas too.

     

    The Curious Kitten Award is given to someone who is a welcoming and encouraging presence around the Den. This term’s winner is @Reyyan Azkendra whose boundless enthusiasm has made The Den such a warm and friendly place to be.

     

    The Exploding Snap award is given to a lion who has knocked our socks off with their creative ideas. She began the term by masterminding our Bright Beginnings Bingo activity and is hard at work on another ingenious plan as we speak, so @Lorainia Riverrider is a very deserving winner for this one.

    Congratulations, folks and here’s to another amazing term. Free butterbeer this way!


  3. It’s time to bid farewell to the Frost Fair!

    We’d like to thank you all for making merry with us out here on the ice. We’ve had tons of fun admiring your chilly creations and dodging snowballs.

    All rubies should have been awarded now but if you think we’ve missed something, please let us know so we can look into it. An impressive number of people did every task available and earned the full 155, so kudos to you all!

    Now, we’d better head back inside before the ice starts to melt…


  4. Growls, barks, squawks, whinnies and noises you can’t put a name to fill the air. You peer into the first pen and a young crup wags its forked tail at you, grinning at you around the bright rubber ball in its mouth.

    The Situation

    It’s vital that all the magical critters that feature in Care of Magical Creatures lessons are kept warm, comfortable and happy in the colder months. That’s why you’ve volunteered to help. Enjoy some one on one time with your favourite creatures while you make sure they’re well fed, clean and entertained.

    The Location

    You can roleplay anywhere in the grounds where magical creatures are likely to be kept, whether that’s around the groundskeeper’s cabin or in the pens and paddocks nearby. You can include whatever creatures you like but remember that they should be ones that are suitable for Hogwarts (no dragons or chimeras!) and you should be handling ones that roughly tally with your school year/experience level.

    Give the guidelines a quick read before diving in. Have fun!
