Hey everyone! I'm Nijhia and I play Millicent Bulstrode. This girl is someone who has a problem with herself and alot of anger that she can't really deal with. While she prefers to work alone, she is lonely most of the time and feels like she's not good enough for anyone's company.
There is so many plottings that people could do with her! If you'd love to plot, IM me on her riddle >_>!
Oooo! Modlies? May I please be added so I can run the friend button?

Brit again! I am here with Kit Bundy! She is a 7th year Slytherin and quite the bitch.
A few tidbits of information about Miss Kit:
1. She is a pureblood but was raised in the muggle world by her Aunt Dorinda.
2. While at school she was prejudiced against muggleborns but her best friend was a muggle who ended up getting killed.
3. Kit never believed in relationships and the first time she got into one she was burned so now she's even more against them.
4. Has a bit of a reputation but ever since her last relationship ended she's been acting like a prude.
5. Suffered a mental break down at the beginning of the summer and was committed for a month but she's better now.
She's rude, crude, stubborn, will do whatever she wants. Kit wears her mind on her sleeve and she doesn't have a muzzle for that mouth of hers.
If you can handle her be my guest to be her friend!
Friends, enemies, frenemies, former flames...

Alright so we hope everyone is getting settled pretty well with The Sangster Institute. There's a post about how they got there and what's up with the school layout. If it confuses you there will be a flat basic layout of the school's shape that we'll post on Sunday which is where we will also post about the village and island.
Also in the previous post was was the schedule for the sixth and seventh years, and Quidditch practice times. There is a list still of the old teams and it lets you know who was where. That being said we'd like it if all of you made some suggestions here on team names and colors, the names for the teams will be drawn from a hat with the captains names and then we'll go by spot and pull out names for those spots.
Alumni have free reign of the village on the weekdays but have their classes split on Saturdays and Sundays into 3 hour intense cram blocks.
Other quick notes/dates:
First weekend in the village-- October 25th and 26th (then it will be bi-weekly)
Halloween Dance-- October 31st.
OWLS--November 1st.
NEWTS-- December 5th.
Break-- December 19th to January 5th.

Hey everyone! We’ve got the low down on the school for you here :) Here’s anything you need to know and even a few things that might not have occurred to you.
The staff and the Ministry have really tried to make the school feel at home and bring back they could to Hogwarts, including statues, tapestries, paintings, but there are still items from the former owner. Many of these range from strange to creepy or even scary. Though they've tried, the school is still sparse of knit-knacks and decor. This school is much smaller than Hogwarts and though the students should not feel cramped, the extra space is obviously no longer there.
The castle consists of three buildings: the prison building, the main building, and the attached building. Then there's an obviously smaller detached building connected by a small unenclosed roofed bridge on the third floor. This was the prison building. The third building is an add-on to the center building from the last century. It includes four towers and is a rectangular building with an incredibly large courtyard.
( Prison Building )
( Main Building )
( Attached Building )
( School Grounds )
*The class schedules will remain the same as before, so please check out the Plot Extras post for that information. The classes for alumni will be posted there before the weekend. Information about the island itself and the town will be posted on this weekend. Everyone make sure you run the old friend button, we'll post another this weekend. Have fun :)

Alright everyone, this is it. The kids are going back to school! Tomorrow afternoon, a starter thread will be posted. You can post your character anywhere from before they get on the train to inside the ship, to getting off and going to the school. This post is just going to be about the students’ first view of the island and the castle. By Wednesday there will be another post describing the island and school arranged similarly to the Hogsmeade and Hogwarts post in the mod journal. There will also be a post in the Great Hall thread where Headmistress McGonagall will be giving a speech explaining the new circumstances of the school. This will be for explaining purposes solely.
As you all know by now, the students will not be returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Instead they are going to the island of Coróinbáis to be taught at the Sangster Institute. As per normal routine, the students will go to Platform 9 and ¾s, leaving King's Cross station at 11am. They will reach the Mallaig docks in Scotland at 6pm. From there, the students will leave the train station and walk a good mile to the docks. Anyone who is wearing good summer attire for the nice London weather earlier that day will note that it's a much cooler 60 degrees. At this point, the sky is already dimming.
The students will be boarding the ship in fours and must sign their names off to keep a head count. The ship itself was donated by Durmstrang in a generous offering in sympathy for the destruction of Hogwarts. The ship is a massive wooden vessel somewhere between a Viking ship and a seventeenth century British freight. Don't be surprised to find stuffed busts of woodland creatures or intricate Nordic carvings to depict scenes from Beowulf to the valkyries to the battle of St. George and the dragon mixed in with youthful vandalism. This gift is actually several centuries old. The magic used to keep it afloat and avoid ripples isn't always stable so those on deck may find themselves soaked. Along with that, anyone feeling a chill run along her feet shouldn't worry. It's just a group of ghost rats. Dinner will be served in shifts in one of the storage compartments that's been changed into a small dining hall. Expect to be served a hardy, thick brunswick stew, crusty bread, and yes, ale as this meal is also courtesy of Durmstrang. Anyone with an urge to get drunk and sea sick, go for it. The ship will then arrive at the island on the opposite end of the school at the fishing docks. These docks are used by the island natives who are majority magical. It should be known that there are Muggles living there who are either family members of magical people, people who could not be deterred in thinking there are magical people, and old fish folk who just don't care.
The students will then file out and their luggage will be transported to the castle. They’ll be walking a dirt path uphill to the edge of the island until they come to a field of red poppies. There they’ll find floating circular carriages that are being carried by pixies. Some may notice that their pixies are more rambunctious and will move them faster, while others are not as strong and may have trouble lifting. They will be carried over the thick, dark woods that aren't forbidden but have created quite a paranoid vibe among the villagers. Should you think you see something, well that just might have happened so go with it! Once at the front grounds of the new school the students will enter through massive metal doors, currently covered with cloths, but if any dare peak they'll see metal work depicting scenes of torture and demons ruling over human subjects.
The castle is full of light, almost as if glowing in welcome to the students. First they'll enter a large open foyer decorated in large tapestries depicting the victories and accomplishments of Hogwarts. Two large halls on either side and a sweeping staircase at the far end with four small doors on either side are all to welcomes guests. Following up those stairs is a hall that was visible from the foyer but instead of separate off to the left or right they enter the pewter doors into a vase great hall but instead of the normal four tables there are two ridiculously long tables to take up the space of the castle's former ballroom. Like at Hogwarts there are still floating candles and the ceiling of the room is actually one large dome with frescos depicting the night sky. Once seated the students can easily see that there is a second floor to the room where guests could once watch the dancers below but now it's used for extra study space for the student, with gothic arches with smiling demons sprouting out from the tops of columns, allowing peek-a-boo views of shelves filled with books and small wooden tables for lone study or a tutor and student to catch up on Potions.
Finally McG will make her welcoming speech from the staff table still at the head of the room, while students indulge in chocolate cake, apple tortes, raspberry trifles and bonbons. So if you think the kids are being buttered up for something, you might be right. McG has a couple of surprises in store.
Please take all of this in and have fun with it! Again, that opener will be up tomorrow, so any threads you might want to happen before school you should hurry and get starters up for. And don’t forget to run the friend button!

HELLO! My name is Amber and I am 22 years-old. I'm a college Junior at Old Dominion University and am majoring in History. SOMEDAY I'll be a history teacher, but for now I'll have to settle with being a substitute teacher. The character I'm playing is Demelza "Demi" Robins,but I'm hoping to get more characters later.
Contact Information:
E-mail: Golden_AmberRose@yahoo.com
AIM: TrueToMyself2007
NOW.. HERE'S THE INFO ON MY CHARACTER:
Demelza "Demi" Robins is a seventh year student in Gryffindor. Her birthday is on January 6th and hates it when people remember but there have been times when her friends have surprised her with a birthday party and she wanted to kill them. Her mother is a witch and her father is a muggle. She still can't understand how that one happened. Demi is the kind of girl who loves Quidditch and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
Right now, Demi is going through a lot of emotions. You see, because her father was a muggle, her parents made her keep her head down as much as she could a Hogwarts. She did as much as she could without "making waves". She feels as though she could have done more to stop everything that happened at Hogwarts. The first time she really made the decision to do something radical was during the fight at Hogwarts when she decided to stay and fight. This decision made her feel the best she felt in months but had its effects later. When her parents found out they weren't exactly happy. Her parents are barely speaking to her because they are still afraid that the Dark Lord is still alive and that Demi might put their family endanger as well as herself, but Demelza can take it no longer. She must take a stand for what she believes in even if it is a stupid cause.
Demelza Robins is passionate person... even for the most stupid things.
I am looking forward to working with you! *hugs*

So everyone Sept. 1st the students and all forced to follow will hit the train/ship for their schooling. Now don't worry we aren't sending you all in there without info, on Sunday we'll post a VERY LONG..well post on the school and surrounding area. If you have any questions about there before Sunday just give us a quick email.
One last thing before we go, make sure that by Sept.24th that all user infos must have the information required in them and be updated to past the battle and if even closer to the present time, the better. They are only allowed to be friend locked not locked so only that journal or certain journals can see.
Also friend button here ~so run with it~

HAI!!
It's Brit returning from...everywhere else but home. I am back and with Maisie Montgomery. Now she has the same history as the sisters that I used to play so not much has changed there. However, personality wise do not fret she is not like Moira...or Wendy. Maisie is bubbly, vivacious, sarcastic when she wants to be, loveable, and LOUD. She's also a bit over dramatic, obsessed with bubble wrap, thinks she's fantastic, and she's the cheerleader of Hufflepuff. She's a good person to have around when you're feeling down. She'll go out of her way to make someone she likes smile. She's somewhere between boy crazy and not so much. She goes through phases where she likes a new guy every week and then other times when she's so happy to be single because she just wants to worry about her. She doesn't like to take things seriously and prefers being ignorant and bliss.
My new sn is im a lil brit pot but you can still reach my at a firefly chaser for those of you who still have it.
Let the plotting commence! Friends, enemies, ex boyfriends, former crushes, blah de blah.

So everyone here I am with Andrew Kirke, Lisa Turpin and Kyler Urquhart.
The user infos will be super up soon I promise, there will be a post about that later. I move one! So here I have:
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) andraws A seventh year, Muggle born Gryffindor, known for fucking it up once on the team. He has not been on the team for quiet some while but is. He's loud, slightly hyper and entirely obsessed with comics. He still sees Slytherin as evil, and Ravenclaw he's not sure of but is afraid they could be turned for lust, money or any other delusional thing he can think of.
lisalisalisa A Ravenclaw "grad" from Harry's year her user name should be a hint to how she is. It's all "me, me, me." She's very anally organized and think that people should follow completely what she does/says. She's not a bitch about it becuase she thinks she's doing a service and will tell you anyways even if you obviously don't pay attention.
klair A Slytherin Alum and former captain(from Roger's year aka 2 years above Harry)he's hot headed, overtly rude, and doesn't really care about anyone but himself. He's been kicked off his team where he was only on the bench. If anyone was in the Great Hall thread before the Battle he was the Death Eater instigating the Claw/Slytherin gate. He's not above going on the occasional date with the younger pureblood girls but don't expect it to end nicely. Oh and compliments to him are always welcome.

A bit late, sorry! This is Isabel. She's Morag's little sister. She knows she's smart, she doesn't care that she's pretty, and she passes the time reading and people watching. She can be an incredibly loyal friend if you can deal with the snark and her curiosity for gossip. She's still very much in mourning, so be gentle if you'd like her to not sass you. Her profile is here so give her a look, alright?

| We're Back! |
[11 Aug 2008|08:37pm] |
That went by fast, didn't it? Crynhoi is officially reopened as of yesterday. We hope no one minds us not announcing it until today. Your mods were having a bit too much fun this weekend ;) Let's get to business!
1. There have been changes in the rules, so give them a look. We expect everyone to keep to them and, as always, any questions you have should be directed our way. Please don't ask us what changed though, we want to keep everyone sharp here! Keep in mind that we want everyone to be active, to interact! Take a stab in the dark and give people an email or an IM that you might not have plotted with much before. No one bites and rabies shots are mandatory for all members just in case. ;)
2. There have been a few articles posted in our owl community, but not all are from the Daily Prophet. Even if it's not a paper or magazine your character might read, we suggest you as the player give them a look. The Educater's Essays also put out a good article, along with two from the Daily Prophet that you might have missed. There will be an owl going out to all former Seventh years about the NEWT soon, so don't worry about that!
3. We've updated graphics, layouts, plot, and NPCs as well, but we're still working on a couple of areas. As thing go up are become applicable, we'll let you know. The Fourth (Fifth) Year NPCs are for anyone's use, within reason. That's better explaining on that page.
4. We have one new player and a couple new characters. Bea's already introduced Terry, but it's never too late to comment. Ai has Andrew coming along to be posted pretty soon. Our new player, Amber will be bringing in Demelza Robins soon as well!
Let us know what you think ladies! We hope to see everyone jump right into action.

Bea here! Here's the first of our new characters, Terry Boot! Terry's a smart guy, friendly, social, but he still doesn't have the best of people skills sometimes. He dislikes theory, enjoys Potions, and won't take lip unless he deserves it. Take a peak at his profile and the mini bio too. He was good friends with Morag and is more than happy to take on more friends, past relationships, and anything else you can think of.

[16 Jun 2008|12:47am] |
The battle is over. You can all still post in it, we ENCOURAGE you to post still. We WANT you to post in the battle and the Great Hall threads. If you aren't sure what to do then let us know and we'll help you out. If you're waiting on someone, just go ahead and post. As any good game, however, we much move along. You can post journals, new threads, all of those things now. Starting today, it's May 16 1998 in game. One day is one day again. When July hits, we're kicking ourselves to catch up. July 2008 will be July 1998 and our game will be running on schedule from that point onward. There will be a memorial thread posted soon that we'd also like many of you to participate in. Anyone could have come back to Hogwarts for it.
Along with all canon deaths, meaning Fred Weasley, Colin Creevey, and Vincent Crabbe (as well as many NPCs), we are also saying good bye to Morag MacDougal, Nira Katkar, Aloisia Solberg, Reggie Summers, and Balthazar Bole. Harry Potter is assumed dead by everyone. We picked up these characters knowing we would be killing them at this point. We wanted there to be characters in game with played connections to add more to the feeling of loss with the battle. Believe us, we do miss them :( If anyone wants a connection to these characters beyond what's been established for future characters, let us know and something can be worked out. The journals will still be friended to the mod journal and joined to the community at until all threads they are in are finished. The journals will still be there as a record of those characters. In happier news, we'll be picking up two new characters to help fill that void! They'll be Terry Boot and Andrew Kirke, so watch out for their profiles and introductions going up soon. We will be bringing in other new characters as time goes by and as needs arise with the meta plot. We'll also be picking up Kingsley Shacklebolt and Minerva McGonagall not as full blown characters, but as regular NPCs for plot purpose.
We know this is a busy time and some of you have told us there might be some inactivity, so everyone remember it's better to let us know before hand rather than leave us guessing and worrying. That includes us, from now on let the mods know and post an OCC post so that other players don't get frustrated.
|
|
|
[31 May 2008|09:25pm] |
Okay, this is it. This is the BIG post about the Battle of Hogwarts! We need to know who is staying, but there are rules!
1. If your character character is canon, they must do what they canonly did. This means Ernie better be running down the hall with his boar patronus. This also means that groups should do as they do in the books, like Slytherins have to leave and can not voice opposition (besides Pansy if we had one :( ). Slytherins can however fight for the other side as that is canonly mentioned.
2. You have to be of age to fight. McG did not allow anyone that was too young to fight. That means anyone in their Fifth year and lower must leave and some Sixth years. Ginny is the exception because her parents were there and did give permission. If your character was in the DAs or you want them to do something, we do have opportunities for action on the way to the Floo's but you HAVE to let us know if you are interested.
3. Should you fight, kill, or get injured you have to let us know what's going to happen before you post this, preferably by emailing us or commenting on this post as soon as possible. If you don't give us a heads up, then we will delete your post or thread.
This is something that is HUGELY important. This will be our last big time flux. Real life June 1st through 7th will actually be only a 48 hour period in game (May 1st and May 2nd). This will be the two days of the battle. There will be a lot going on, so we want to give us all time. There will be one big post for the battling, anything from watching out the window, to fighting, to after it's all said and done. There will also be a post for the kids who are going home. This will go anytime between you guys going to the Floo and waiting in the Ministry. We encourage people to write threads by themselves for reflection and sibling interaction. Please do not NPC anything that is canon or obviously not canon. For example, Morag shouldn't be fighting Bellatrix. No one should be that isn't canonly mentioned as doing so. The first four will be the first day. NO JOURNALS can be written during this time. You wouldn't have time, even the kids running. The last three are the second day. The kids that left can write journals or threads by themselves at home or at the Ministry but NO ONE that stayed can reply to these journals. Again, there just wouldn't be time between the battle and the clean up afterward.
Once this is all over, we'll have another post about it being over and what will be happening next. After the week ends, the time flux is over. It will still actually be May 3rd and so on instead of June 8th, but one day will equal just one day. We'll mention again, when July hits that we will skip June in game and go right into July. After that, we'll be running normal as anything.
It is extremely important that you comment to this post. IF YOU DO NOT COMMENT WE WILL KILL YOU ;) Seriously, please comment.
+ theologian Don't forget her introduction post!

[25 May 2008|07:24pm] |
The Party thread and the DA thread are both up! Make sure if your character is coming from the party, then you have posted there as well. Say Morag came straight from the party to the DA meeting. Then Bea would have to post her in both places. However, if Nira's making a dash from the shower to the meeting, then Ai wouldn't have to worry about about posting in both places. We hope to see many people in here and don't forget the Great Hall thread is still up! The night of the DA meeting and the party is when a certain amount of kids will go into hiding. If you do this canonly, then you don't have to do it here. LET US KNOW!
Right after this OCC there will be a decree about the Dementors. This is because Harry has broken into Gringott's bank. It's in the papers, but no one says it's Harry except for River on Potterwatch. Only the kids with radios (the DAs do have one) and access to the WWN know about this, unless they happened to be in the Great Hall when Terry yelled about it and got dragged away to be beaten or read Luna's journal. Terry goes into hiding at this point after his beating and this is when the rest of the canonly in hiding students must go. If your character was mentioned as in hiding in the books, we will assume if they hadn't gone already then they have at this time.

+copperpenny (remember to check out her intro post.)
THIS IS A HUGE MASSIVE UPDATE! COMMENT SO WE KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING DOWN.
To make this easy for us there are going to be three separate paragraphs, one for each of the separate player groups: Hogwarts, Trio, and the safe house kids. Though a quick reminder, we will lose the month of June in game, but when we transfer over to July there is going to be a post about new rules and making sure everyone knows the old rules.
The next two weeks are HUGE for everyone but more so for the kids in school. Today, "April 23rd" (that's a Wednesday folks) there was a massive crack down in school. Colin Creevey, known Muggle-born was spotted by Crabbe but Neville interfered and Colin got away. This event was reported to Bole, then to Snape, and finally to the Dark Lord himself. Filled with reasons of paranoia that Order members and worst of all Harry could be sneaking into the school four major rules were installed.
( More info for the Hogwart )
( Trio )
( Safe-House )
Now there are about 2 more cars with the MacMillan teacher and another driving more of the kids. Once there, the cars will be shrunk and hidden in the shed.
Wow, that was a lot, look for these upcoming threads.:) Any questions just email us but we should both be on aim starting Monday.

I just wanted to apologize for any late Crabbe comments I'm tossing around. There's a few older things I thought I'd gotten to but it seemed not. So apologies dears! :) And Jenna, let me know if we still want to thread out Crabbe and Daphne? Say so here and we'll talk about it in the mod email, love.

[10 May 2008|11:16pm] |
Mods, I hope you don't mind me posting this. If you do just delete it I guess? I just feel the need to apologize for my suck-age at activity for the past few weeks. RL was not liking me for a while aaaand it was kind of craziness. But good news is things are definitely better now so RPing is back in the picture! Unfortunately I missed...quite a bit. So I thought maybe making a post like this would help integrate me back in better.
SO -- if anyone wants to thread with Randy or Katie (I decided to drop Ethan *sadness*) PLEASE let me know cause I would LOVE to! Any plot I'm open to. My AIM is Euanism if you wanna ping me 'bout stuffs! Since I'm not fully up to date on stuff I'm sort of dry on ideas for possible threads/journals and stuff. SO PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! Thanks XD
Aden, I sucked at the Nev/Randy thread though I am still going to get you a tag in if not tonight sometime soon!! PROMISE! And also I think a Katie/Iain thread would be fun if you want? Some good conflict going on there. XD
Ai and Bea you guys are awesome for cutting me slack. Promise not to let it happen again if I can help it! *LOVE*
--Nic

+ cleverness
- enduring
We're happy to see everyone seems to be catching on to our time flux! Again, any questions just ask. We are always up for answering questions. We understand school's ending for a lot of people right now and we sympathize (believe us!), but we hope that we can all stay on the ball here at Crynhoi. Any problems you foresee with your activity level, let us know? We see there's an open thread that no one's jumped in to, maybe some of our new players would be interested? ;) ;)
We've been assured that the Hufflepuff party thread will be up in the next couple of days, which is going to be followed by a DA meeting the couple of days afterward. Quite busy! We'd love to see plenty of people involved, but remember that a party in these times might come with consequences :) Don't forget about the London kids! Their move will be official on the next in-game Friday. That means about May 16th in regular time. So everyone in the house should keep their eyes open for that. We'll have more information on the move this Wednesday.
We'd like to let you all know that we're not advertising until after the Hogwarts Battle in completed. We're comfortable with our current lot and enjoy you all :) So if there are any characters you'd like to see in game, it's up to you players. We will still accept applications, so bring your friends and apply yourselves! All rules do still apply however and this is no automatic acceptance of course. Our top three categories of wanted characters are Muggleborns, Alumni, and Bitches and Bastards. So let us know, pimp out the game, and have fun! This is just us letting you all know. Don't feel that you have to pick up more characters or recruit people. No stress! We're just letting you all know what the situation is.
And finally, so everyone knows Nay, our Jimmy, Padma, and Sang Min player is going on hiatus until May 25th.
EDIT For the DA meeting, we were wondering if the people involved would like the thread to just run one on one or a free for all style?

[30 Apr 2008|08:09pm] |
Hello everyone! You all got emails today, so please try to respond to them in a timely manner :) In other news, the game is getting exciting and busy! A Hogsmeade weekend is coming up! This will take place in game April 19th in-game. That makes it May 7th and 8th in real time. If anyone has questions about the time flux still, please let us know! You can read about it here and we're friendly mods so you can still just ask or email and we'll help you out. There's also going to be a party soon hosted by Hufflepuff's own Wayne Hopkins, so watch for that thread within the next few days. The DAs should be having a meeting eventually, so keep an eye out for that one too. As for the kids in the London Hideout, the move is approaching!
We know that the girls haven't finished their thread yet (no rush ladies ;)), but we wanted to let you all know that Josiane Dorny has officially lost her Prefect status and this is pretty public knowledge. Any other big rule break events people might be interested in doing, give us a shout and we'll discuss :) We'd love to see more people getting involved in this way so let us know?
Now then, we've got all sorts of new players, so everyone make sure to welcome them and say your hellos! Also be sure to run the button again. There was a typo originally for one of them when we were adding to the button so please give it another run!
EDIT We promised this before and finally bring it to you! A down and dirty way to get your characters explained to new players. We've seen it done other places and it makes things much easier. Make up a sort of mini bio blurb about each of your characters. Now instead of doing up a new one each time, you can copy and paste the same one, but remember to add ways your characters can relate to the new character at the end of each blurb. We noticed a player doing this here and thought it'd be useful, cute, and fun! This is not mandatory! It's just a fun idea!
