Yet another mod post.
Firstly, run the button, as Katie adds to the game her second character, Ruby Robins ([info]laal)!


Secondly, the club rosters have been updated at the Classes & Clubs page. Flying Club is the only new club with an established meeting time so far - I went for Saturdays since that seemed to be the preferred date when Angelina posted about it, but it can be changed to any other time if people decide a reschedule is better. As before, we'll be more than happy to reschedule. We're also open to suggestions to when the other clubs should have their meetings - weekdays at 5pm, weekends, or any other idea you might have. And as before, spots are still open for student heads on several clubs (Emily, would you want Angelina to head the Flying Club since she made all the preparations?). And since I'm bound to have missed something while organizing the rosters, if I've missed any name just let me know!


And finally, I'd like to announce that the info pages for Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are unlocked and ready for your perusal. They are yet to be linked to this journal's main page as we're hoping for some feedback from you on how clear and informative they are, as well as our take on the schools.
We're adding these pages to the game because in about a week (October 15th, to be more precise), we'll be opening holds on the foreign students, with a dozen characters (six boys and six girls) for each school. Once these holds are available, the character limit will extend to five per person - three from Hogwarts, one from Beauxbatons, and one from Durmstrang. We already have 2 ½ early holds for Beauxbatons, though, so if you want to request someone before the 15th feel free to do so! The only thing you have to keep in mind is that all foreign students need to be 17 by the time they arrive at Hogwarts, since they are all volunteers for the tournament, and also that Durmstrang will have no muggle-born students.

And I'm glad you're asking these questions. It helps me figure out what to add to the rules/FAQ about the foreign students once I open the holds.

OH ALSO, speaking of language related FAQ, are the classes at Beauxbatons in English? that's what I assume from reading the page, but I wasn't sure

Their classes are in French. Students from non-Francophone countries have French classes in their first year and are given translation tools until they're able to master the language without help.

oh, okay! I saw that translation tools were mentioned in the Durmstrang page but not Beauxbatons (though admittedly I was skimming, so maybe I just missed it), so I wasn't sure.

also good, I like the idea of them having class in French. I'm glad that's the case.

My fault, really. I mentioned the French classes for non-natives in the Beauxbatons class list, but forgot to mention the translation tools.

From my experience with my French relatives (and the torture that was tutoring one of my cousins in English when we were younger) I very much doubt wizarding France would take well that classes in their school would be taught in anything but French.
