JULY 19 - Full Moon 28 - Lee Jordan 28 - Katie Bell 30 - Neville Longbottom 31 - Harry Potter This is just a partial list of events happening this month. There are a couple of exciting weddings coming up! I don't know the dates off the top of my head, but as soon as I get confirmation, they'll be added to the calendar. As always, if I've left someone or something off the calendar, let us know! As always, if there is anything we can do to make this game better and more fun for everyone, please please let us know. It's our goal to make this game last for as long as possible, and we can't do it without great people like you helping us along.

Hey guys just a quick reminder that today is the deadline for letting us know whether your character has somewhere to stay or will be entered in the lottery when the boggart infestation hits this weekend.
Any character that hasn't responded by tonight will automatically be placed in the lottery.

However rather than hunt around for gossip for the issue, if you guys could please comment on this entry with gossip for Katy to pick from that would be amazing. Just let us know what scandelous things your characters have been up to this past week!
Thanks. I got what I need.

Quidditch
Hello, everyone! Quidditch time! I meant to post this yesterday but tooooootally forgot.
Chudley Cannons 100 Wigtown Wanderers* 200
Tutshill Tornadoes 230 Caerphilly Catapults*320
Puddlemere United* 350 Banchory Bangers 100
Pride of Portree 290 Ballycastle Bats* 390
Notes on the games:
The Cannons/Wanderers game only had half of the tickets sold and a lot of fans were jeering both teams. The match lasted for four hours and was a horrible, horrible display of skill.
The Tornadoes/Catapults game was incredibly dull. The teams did well, but it was lacking any real excitement.
Puddlemere made a fool of the Bangers in just over an hour.
The Pride/Bats game was said to have been one of the best matches of the season. It lasted for six hours and the defense on both teams was amazing. Fans screamed themselves hoarse. A beater from Pride and a Chaser from the Bats were both injured, but not seriously. The goals went back and forth throughout the game, neither team holding the lead for long. It ended with the Bats catching the Snitch, but the two seekers were neck and neck the entire time.

June!
| Welcome to June!! You guys. You aren't going to believe it. We have 17 players and 66 characters. That is so amazing and Katy and I are grateful for each and every one of you. We never imagined this game would get this big and we have you to thank for it. Don't forget to run the friend button! Here's a quick breakdown of the month ahead. Make sure you keep an eye on the Calendar to keep up! JUNE 1 - Weird Sisters tour begins 2 - Marietta Edgecombe 3 - Anna Entwistle 4 - Meaghan McCormack 5 - Draco Malfoy 12 - Rhadamanthus Carrow 14 - Calvin Slughorn 17 - Michael Corner 17 - Charity Auction 18 - Ernie MacMillan 20 - Full Moon 25 - James Turpin 29 - Lenora MacAllister One of the biggest things going on this month is the start of the Weird Sisters tour! Tour information can be found here. Another big event will be the Charity Auction, where it's the ladies turn to be bid on. More information to follow. There are a lot of birthdays this month (some people got pretty busy in September!) so make sure to reference the calendar often so you don't forget! As a special note from the mods, we've decided that since the pool party was started on the last day of the month, subthreads in this event will count for June activity! Only one subthread per character will count for this month's activity. As always, if there is anything we can do to make this game better and more fun for everyone, please please let us know. It's our goal to make this game last for as long as possible, and we can't do it without great people like you helping us along. Every single one of you is vital to the life of this game and we are so happy you're here with us. | ||||

| Welcome to May!! Another month and we are still going strong! The mods are so happy to have everyone here. We really couldn't do this without any of you. We do have a little bit of a shake up with our friends list this month. Due to activity failure, Jen and Kay have been removed from the game, which also removes their characters, so Astoria Greengrass, Katie Bell, and Oliver Wood are now officially up for recasting. In happier news, Titti is bringing Michael Corner, so run the button below! This brings our player total to 16 and our character count to 51! Here's a quick breakdown of the month ahead. Make sure you keep an eye on the Calendar to keep up! MAY 1 - May Day 5 - Megan Jones 15 - Pomona Sprout 21 - Full Moon 28 - Penelope Clearwater There's not much going on this month, so get out there and have some fun! And don't forget Quidditch every Saturday and Witch Weekly! As always, if there is anything we can do to make this game better and more fun for everyone, please please let us know. It's our goal to make this game last for as long as possible, and we can't do it without great people like you helping us along.

Quick Update
Hey everyone! Just a quick modly update for you with some new references for the game.
First, after a very helpful suggestion from Jess, I created a spreadsheet in Google for the school years of all our characters. This way you can easily see house and year mates and those close in age for quicker character connections.
Secondly, now that we have both Hit Witches/Wizards and Aurors in the game, Katy and I thought it would be a good idea to make sure we set game canon for the differences in the various DMLE squads.
So check out the Ministry page for a run down of the three DMLE squads, including examples of the crimes they tackle.
If you have any questions, please don't ever hesitate to ask us, though remember, please submit questions by our dropbox or email.

Some Business
Hey everyone! Okay just a bit of business to take care of today.
First, please remember that both mods will be away on hiatus this weekend. We'll be around maybe a tiny bit, but don't count on much. So don't go burning things down while we're gone.
Also when we get back, remember that our availability will be changing after we get back so we can both focus on work. We'll be around in the evenings and weekends, but not as much during the day.
Today is the last chance to get your activity in for March. Missing or failing two activity checks in a row will result in characters being removed from the game. Don't forget!
Today is also the last day to get any apps in that you want added before mod hiatus/availability change.
This game has grown very quickly and that's amazing! We just wanted to update you on our Most Wanted characters list, which will be added to that page as well. We'd like to see some more characters that actually work AT 54, such as maids, spa staff, management, security, anyone who earns their living from the building.
And lastly, we bring in some new characters! Titti is bringing Percy Weasley, and Jess is bringing Barry Ryan. So run the button!
