Summer Camp is coming!

Summer holidays will be commencing very soon. Some of you will want to head back 'home' and utilise this opportunity to visit London or Diagon Alley. For those of you who wish to stay, we will be hosting a Summer Camp, with events & activities throughout the Summer for you to get involved in. IC, there are multiple trains going from Hogwarts back to Kings Cross this year, giving you the opportunity to pick how long your students stay at school. 

Summer Holidays last 1st July to 31st August.

1st train – Begin of the holidays, end of June.
2nd train – July the 14th
3rd train – August the 1st
4th train – August the 23rd

There will also be returning trains throughout the Summer, with the final train on 1st September for the new school year. This way, new students will be permitted to attend Hogwarts a few months early and enjoy their summer getting used to the new school.

Just wanted to give you this notice so that you can start planning your summer holiday plans!

New Errands

We've made some changes to the Errand System and now offer students the opportunity to earn money from it as well as house points

Students are capped at earning:
  • No more than 25 house points per year.
  • A maximum of 10 sickles per calendar month.
You will start to see more errands popping up now and then to give you the opportunity to earn some more house points or a bit of extra money. Please follow the specific rules of the individual errands that you take part in and remember these caps when taking part. If you've already earned 10 sickles in June, for example and do another errand that rewards money, you won't get the reward.

Please check out the errand section to find out more: LINK.

Reminder: It's not essential to take part in errands. They are completely optional. They simply offer you more opportunities to earn money or house points, as well as more RPG opportunities.

With that, have fun!

Captain for the House Quidditch teams is wanted!

Image


The role as captain is that of the house teams leader. The captain will have two main responsibilities, number one is to moderate quidditch matches. And number two is to keep the games they are in active.

They will also help picking the rest of the house team when that time comes together with their head of house.

The captain position is not a staff position, but does require a bit of work as captains are expected to mod matches their team is not in. This most likely be rewarded by a monetary sum, but the exact number is not yet decided on.

This application is open for both staff and non-staff, but already staff members are reminded that it will be expected that you do the work of both positions to its fullest.

The reason why we open this position up a while before the rest of the team is because we need the captains to understand how to mod the system before the quidditch season of next year begins. You will OOC practice modding the system during the summer.

How the application works, you will first send an owl to your Head of House and the Headmaster where you answer the form below. You will then get access to a test round of the quidditch system and the rules of the system and you then have to mod the round. Applicants will be chosen mostly on the practical example. The applicant that gets the position will then get to pick the position they want to play before the application for the rest of the team opens up at a later date.
The application closes in two weeks, on the 9th July
Nickname:

Age:

Why do you OOC want the position:

Why do you IC want the position:

You can become whatever you want, its like magic... unless the "whatever" is a beater, then i'mma bash your face in with a bat.

Learnt Spells


Please be aware that students learn all spells that are taught through homework upon graduation from that year. This means that if you graduated from First Year to Second Year in July, you will automatically be able to add all First Year Spells to your Encyclopedia Trunk through a Trunk Update.

If you apply for an update, please be sure to state that you graduated and mention the previous year's spells if you want to have them added to your Encyclopedia trunk.

REMINDER: LEARNT SPELLS ON GRADUATION

Please note that spells learned on graduation (above announcement) are only applicable to:
1. Spells only. [Not Potions]
2. Spells learned through homework [Not RPG Lessons, adventures or events etc]

This post contains all of the spells available to learn through homework. RPG lesson spells are listed separately too (and linked to if you wish to gain them). 

If you include RPG lesson spells or potions in your trunk update, it will not be approved or added until you can prove you've done potions homework and/or the RPG threads. Adding them without proof will just cause a delay.

P.S. Coding updates are fine.
