MOCK ELECTION!

IN-GAME, POLLS CLOSE AT 7 PM. However, as I'm only putting this up now and I'll be out/offline from about 4-god knows when your guys' time... Polling will close tomorrow (Saturday) at 7 pm EST. Have a character who wishes they could vote, but isn’t old enough to? Several Hogwarts students are manning a mock polling station for the second time this year in the Entrance Hall. If your character’s feeling civic-minded — or just wants to troll the fake booth — come on by and fill out a ballot. Voters of all ages are welcome, if your 17+ chars just couldn’t stop at the one ballot. If you haven’t already, please review the information on the candidates and then cast a ballot for any of your Hogwarts chars who want to participate. To vote, please copy/paste the following ballot template and reply in the comments with each of your voting characters. You will note that each section of the template has a capital “X” five times. Delete the “X” in every section but the one for the candidate your character is voting for. <table width=400px style="border:5px solid black"><tr><td align=left width=100%><font face="courier new" size=+1><b>VOTE FOR ONE CANDIDATE ONLY</b> <HR width=90%> <table width=100% style="border:0px"><tr><td align=left valign=top width=20%><font size=+3><b>1</b></font></td> <td align=left valign=top width=70%><b>BAGNOLD</b> Millicent Bagnold Halfblooded Witch Hogwarts (Ravenclaw), 1958</td> <td align=left valign=top width=10%><font size=+3>X</font></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=3> </td></tr> <tr><td align=left valign=top width=20%><font size=+3><b>2</b></font></td> <td align=left valign=top width=70%><b>BROWN MONAGHAN</b> Hyacinth Brown Monaghan Fullblooded Witch Hogwarts (Hufflepuff), 1913</td> <td align=left valign=top width=10%><font size=+3>X</font></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=3> </td></tr> <tr><td align=left valign=top width=20%><font size=+3><b>3</b></font></td> <td align=left valign=top width=70%><b>BULSTRODE</b> Cecil Bulstrode Pureblooded Wizard Hogwarts (Slytherin), 1938</td> <td align=left valign=top width=10%><font size=+3>X</font></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=3> </td></tr> <tr><td align=left valign=top width=20%><font size=+3><b>4</b></font></td> <td align=left valign=top width=70%><b>MONTAGUE</b> Victor Montague Fullblooded Wizard Hogwarts (Slytherin), 1951</td> <td align=left valign=top width=10%><font size=+3>X</font></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=3> </td></tr> <tr><td align=left valign=top width=20%><font size=+3><b>5</b></font></td> <td align=left valign=top width=70%><b>ORPINGTON</b> Mycroft Orpington Fullblooded Wizard Hogwarts (Ravenclaw), 1942</td> <td align=left valign=top width=10%><font size=+3>X</font></td></tr></table></font></td></tr></table> If your character does not endorse any of the candidates, but still wants to participate, feel free to comment noting they spoiled their ballot.

WHO: Sirius Black & Mary Macdonald, with brief guest appearance by James Potter.
WHEN: September 1, 1976.
WHERE: The Hogwarts Express.
WHAT: I'd say Sirius is having a better year with girls than Regulus is but HAHAHAHAHA.

( There were pranks to pull. Slytherins to take down. Girls to snog. )

WHO: James Potter and Sirius Black, with guest appearances from alcohol and Hazel Morton.
WHEN: The Love-In.
WHERE: Party dungeon.
WHAT: ...boys are weird.

( D’you figure this is what living in Hufflepuff’s like? )

WHO: The Heads of House and their fifth years.
WHEN: April 8, 1976, before Cam's family was attacked.
WHERE: In the Heads of Houses' offices.
WHAT: Lol, you need to keep taking Potions to be an Auror, Harry.

The insistence of Headmaster after Headmistress after Headmaster on offering mandatory Careers Advice to every fifth year, year after year, was very possibly an exercise in advanced administrative sadism, Minerva suspected. This was not to say that she didn't understand the value of such a meeting, particularly in choosing one's NEWT courses. However, it was difficult to maintain a detached, professorly air when the increased need for Order activity had seen Minerva with less and less time and thus less and less sleep, and, furthermore, she had a lurking suspicion that Potter and Black would resoundingly fail to take this seriously. She had, to her credit, warded her office against Dunbombs for the occasion — any Gryffindor who entered with one on their person would find themselves suddenly suspended in mid-air, in her doorway — but still, it had only been two years since CJ Costantin had spent the entirety of his Careers Advice flirting with her, and she wasn't quite ready to find out what Potter had prepared yet. She strongly suspected she would not be prepared for several years.
