When: After the hols
Where: Gryffindor CR
What: Tomfoolery!

David was in an excitable mood. He wasn't exactly sure why, he was rather annoyed that they were back at school. Either way, he was excited to be playing monopoly with pals again. "Alright so who's going to be what?" Yes, it was pointless to ask, but David always did. "I pick the Top Hat." He grinned as he grabbed the piece and put it at Go. Board games were fabulous sometimes.

Who: † minus Derek
When: Second Year
Where: Dorm Room
What: Hijinks and the like.

Maddox was throwing a ball against the wall of his room. He was bored and had a rather terrible day in classes. For some unknown reason, Maddox really failed at wand work, and that meant that his current classes were difficult. Either way it made him frustrated and feeling like he really didn't belong at Hogwarts. But then there were the days where he got to concentrate on Potions, and that was good enough for him. Still, that wasn't on his mind at the moment. Mads didn't even notice Jamie walk in, he just kept throwing the ball against the wall.

When: Game starts at 11am
Weather: high 43°F/6°C, low 30°F/-1°C; cloudy morning clearing as the day goes on

quick recap:
Will wins quaffle tossup and heads downfield
Cassie attempts to steal but Will escapes
JFK hits bludger into stands (at Maddox, whom dodges quite easily)
Geoffrey calls the foul and pulls JFK off the pitch to reprimand
Derek hits bludger at Nate and knocks the air out of him
Will attempts to score but Lia easily saves
Lia hands off (fumbles a bit) to Cassie who overreaches and falls off her broom
Trip flies in and picks up quaffle
Naia falls off her broom in attempt to find snitch
Snitch flies by JJ and he catches!

HUFFLEPUFF WINS 150-0

When: Saturday, November 11th, early morning
Where: corridor in front of the great hall
What: Big Honkin' PLOT!

Having cleared off all the garbage from the notice board next to the entrance to the great hall (she couldn't help but wonder if anyone had ever gotten that Firebolt), Ruth Ann set to work.

What had begun as a simple, petty vendetta on her part had managed to escalate to something much more over the past few months, as was apparent from the amount of time, effort, and indeed, money that she had invested in it. Granted, she'd made some of that money as a result of this whole thing (if nothing else, the Prophet certainly paid its freelance reporters well), but it was, as always, the concept of the thing. And this was a very good concept, in her mind. Write a few articles for fun, make some cash, and bring a well-known and firmly established company to its knees. There were certain things you didn't mess with in life. One of these things was highly vindictive and slightly abnormal twelve year olds. Really, the owners and editors at the Daily Prophet had only themselves to blame.

Opening her book bag, Ruth Ann removed the article that she had carefully clipped from this morning's Quibbler and firmly attached it to the centre of the bulletin board with several well-placed stapling charms. Next, she removed three more articles, these from various Prophets, and affixed them around the central article. With some difficulty, she transfigured all the clutter she'd cleared from the board into a shelf, and used a sticking charm to attach it to the stones just below the bulletin board. On this she placed several paperback copies of three different Muggle books. Purchasing them had pretty much used up everything she'd made by writing articles for the Prophet, but she'd looked on that money as ill-gotten gains anyway, and so it actually kinda balanced out in the end.

Lastly, Ruth Ann took a large sign from her bag and carefully Levitated it to the top of the board, sticking it in place with another charm. The sign itself was charmed to be sparkling and flashy, drawing the eyes and attention of any and all who were destined for the great hall. This done, she took a step back and surveyed her work. It was gorgeous. Pleased, Ruth Ann pushed the double doors open, and cheerfully skipped off to breakfast.

Who: Lenore and Jelly
Where: Tea/coffee shop in Hogsmeade
When: Saturday, Oct. 21st (Hogsmeade weekend continued from here)
Why: There be character plot to settle. And we fail at threading in a timely manner.

Lenore allowed one of her eyebrows to arch at the suggestion of tea. The Ashworth girl had that look about her. It was one Lenore was well used to by now. Nothing good ever seemed to come of it. Jelly had piqued the Unspeakable's interest however and she sensed that following the girl's whims might prove educational in the long run. At the very least she'd get a drink out of it.

"You are aware I prefer coffee," Lenore reminded dryly. "But I'll indulge you. If it's good chai." When this one said it was good, it probably was. "Lead the way."

When: Sat. Oct 28. game starts at 11am
Weather: high 61°F/16°C, low 47°F/8°C; rain around noon

Who: Ruth Ann, Nita
When: Saturday, October 21st, 2006, mid-afternoon
Where: Three Broomsticks, Hogsmeade
What: Plotty!! :D

Having bundled up in a thick wool coat, two jumpers, tights, slacks, a scarf, thick socks, a hat, earmuffs, and mittens in order to brave the weather between the castle and the village, Ruth Ann was a tad too warm once she got arrived at the pub. Which meant removing as many layers as possible once she'd acquired herself a butterbeer and staked out a table tucked away in a corner (those firecrackers she'd scored last February had finally come in handy). She managed to get the boots and socks off as well, but she supposed that it would be indecent of her to go any further. Unfortunately.

Digging out her sketchbook, she doodled idly while she waited for her contact to show up. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long... she did have a curfew to observe, after all.

[Tag to Nita! :D ]

Hufflepuff is hosting. This is a costumed event, fourth years and up are allowed to attend. Any thirdsies and below will be kindly sent back to their dorms. Teachers are chaperoning.

Have at kids!

Where: Hufflepuff Common Room
When: October 2nd, 2007

Stepping away from the bulletin board in the Hufflepuff Common Room, Lethe nodded to herself and smiled. It was short notice, but she was sure that she'd have plenty of volunteers. Hers was a house of hard workers after all. Satisfied, she left – there were still several stacks of books waiting to be shelved on her desk.
[Attention, children: HAVE AT! *runs off to do important, responsible-type stuff like sleeping*]

:::OKAY! I'm aware this is UBER LATE... like 2ish months and I'm very very sorry!! Hiatus kicked my butt. I'm back now and I want to get this done because someone... deserves the third firebolt:::

Belladonna stepped back from the poster she had hung up on the common bulletin board just outside the Great Hall, really, she was just doing it for show and of course to get others jealous. After all, she fully intended to sell the Firebolt to one of her own team members (at a reduced rate if she had to), anything to win right?



She took a deep breath and weezed slightly, then coughed, a single small white feather escaped her mouth and drifted lazily to the ground, she snatched it and tucked it into a pocket, damn Chicken Pox had kept her in the hospital wing for too long and she had not been able to do anything, even now she wasn't fully recovered but there was practice tonight and she just had to go, she couldn't miss anymore.

She smiled at her poster, yes, this was perfect, it seemed open and fair enough.

Who: Anyone and Everyone
When: Sunday September 24th
Where: Grounds

((Picnic time! Um, the weather for Sunday is high 57°F/14°C, low 54°F/12°C - rain until the early evening so be wearing rain gear or whatever. Also it's a POTLUCK picnic so bring some food. And Hannah invited whoever. Most likely the people in her year, but other people can come too. Say she put up a some flyers somewhere.))

Hannah trudged outside with her picnic basket, which she'd borrowed from a friend. It was a bit rainy today, so she also brought a tarp. It would take a few people to set it up, however so she just put it down for now. She put an impervius charm on the blanket and shook it out.

Once she'd placed impervius'd food out, she stood back and admired her handiwork. Yep, she was pretty amazing. Except that she hadn't actually made any food. The stuff she'd brought was from the kitchens. Oh well.

Now it was just time to wait for people to show up. Hopefully the first one to arrive would not be Olivia because that would be just horrible.


((Woo! Okay, so Anya brought a tent, there's chocolate, quiche, cheese and bread, alphabet soup, um... snickerdoodles, pumpkin juice. And Karaoke!))
