I am sure a few of you are a bit put off in terms of where we currently are in the game, and are wondering what is in your character's future.

Right now we are looking at the end of the Amortentia effects with everyone recovering from the embarrassment and bad ideas. That being said, we are going to try and get the game back on schedule with real time. The dragons have been collected and mobilized by a group of experts, and the letters that parents had sent during the fray demanding their children now lay in heaps upon the tables in the Great Hall. Your mother and father did notice, but it was quite the challenge trying to get trainers close enough to the castle to move the fire-breathing beasts. This fact, however, is rarely entertained by frantic family members - the Wizarding community is outraged.

In an attempt to placate the families, the Headmaster has arranged for the students to have a brief - albeit late - Winter Break. That means all students are able to go home on January 1st and will be expected to return on February 1st. (Now, we realize this gives you three days to play out a month, but we figured students would be more eager to relay stories than you would be to thread them out. Backdate if you're determined.)

Classes will resume on February 2nd.

Two weekends from that Hogwarts will host its first Quidditch game of the season. Considering all of the events the school has been forced to endure, we can assume that everyone's favorite sport was postponed indefinitely. Now, however, it is back in full swing, and we will be seeing games approaching rapidly to ensure all Houses get the opportunity to play. Teams can practice during the holidays - namely Slytherin and Gryffindor since they will be playing first!

All of this (and more) can be seen with the newest element to DMR: our calender and record of upcoming events. Check back once in a while to find updates and approaching occasions.

Any questions, comments, and concerns can be left in comments on this post!

As an afterthought, we would appreciate if you guys would advertise, invite fellow players, and do what you can to be active. Although we do face lulls, characters should be writing and plotting with each other. Development is key. Check the House points! Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have fallen into fourth and third place respectively! Let's get working to fix this.
