Erin!
Gah! I have a question.
Considering I did not know that we were out of haitus and considering I had told Mawd that I still wanted to keep my positions .. does that mean I still have them? I know I never responded but considering I was so busy [till now] I only really checked my e-mail till about now haha.
Mawd said she'd e-mail us when we were off haitus and I never got an e-mail thats why I never checked back.
Let me know!
Hi erinnn, I have a question for you :P
I was thinking, and technically I was sorted here over 2 years ao, and I was wondering if it would be ok w/ you if i posted an app to get resorted, since technically I'm sorta houseless now :P Is that ok w/ you?
Sorry to take up space w/ a post for this :P
Current Mood: blah
I'm quite sad that none of you wanted to enter the scavenger hunt contest! I thought it would be fun!
Well. For the 3 or so people I do know are still here, I have something to ask of you. I think our lack of activity is a lack of active members. My favor to ask is that if you are any good at graphics, would you please make me an advertisement banner that I can send around to other communities to pimp us. Then we can get this place going again.
Also, I shall be extending the scavenger hunt contest to the end of the semester. That is June 30th. Gives everyone old and new PLENTY of time to enter!
Now. I know its sort of old news by now but have you all seen the third OOTP trailer?!
Sadly, a lot of the faculty has turned down keeping their positions. But that leaves good news for those of you who are still with us!
First of all, some news: There will no longer be house prefects for the time being. When we get more people, I will consider bringing them back but for right now, we have so little people here that we just cant do it.
Also, remember to pimp this place to your friends, family, enemies, coworkers, acquaintances, internet friends, and anyone else you can think of so we can get this place going again!
There are three Head of House positions open.
Hufflepuff
, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin Head of Houses are open for applications. If you are at all interested, please, post here with your application filling out the following: (it's real short and will take you hardly any time at all)
Its time for a SCAVENGER HUNT!
Here's how to play:
You must take photographs (no drawings, we need evidence that you actually found this item and not just thought it up in your head) of an object that represents to you each of the following things:
- Gryffindor
- Hufflepuff
- Ravenclaw
- Slytherin
- Harry Potter
- Ron Weasley
- Hermione Granger
- Draco Malfoy
- Your favorite Hogwarts Teacher
- Your least favorite Hogwarts Teacher
- A pet you would like to bring to Hogwarts
- Your "dorm room" (meaning the place you sleep at night)
- Your "Hogwarts" (meaning where you go to school OR if you dont go to school, where you think would make a good Hogwarts near you like a church or something)
- Your wand (and I mean nothing dirty by that)
If you do not own a digital camera but you own a film one and dont mind spending a little money, most photography labs develop your negatives and can put them on a cd for you nowadays.
Anyone can do this contest, including the faculty. I may do it just for fun myself! Each photograph you enter will earn your house 10 points but only one photograph is allowed for each item. The highest amount of house points you can earn it 140.
All entries are to be in a comment to this post. The comments will be screened until April 18 when the contest ends. That gives you plenty of time. At that time I will unscreen the comments so you all can look and see what everyone else has done!

Welcome back from Hiatus students! I hope you all had a good rest because there is work that needs to be done.
First off, just a reminder to old and new students, referring people to Hogwarts Pride gets your house 25 points. I'd really appreciate it if you mentioned this place to your Harry Potter loving friends. We want this place to be active dont we? Yes, we do!
All house points have been cleared. This term will end on June 30th 2007 where a winner will be announced and hopefully we will have a party with mini contests. But that is too far into the future to be worrying about now.
Another thing I would like to remind the students is to join the RPG, fanfiction, and graphics communities that are a part of Hogwarts Pride. They can be a lot of fun when we get participants and by submitting your own entries, you can earn your house extra points.
For the faculty, it would be greatly appreciated if you went to the Faculty Common Room and read the most recent post. It is very important if you want to keep your position on the staff. If you do not respond to it by the end of March, you will be taken off the faculty.
A little later on, I will post our first contest for the term! So look for it!
If you have any questions or comments for me, let me know here.
