After lunch it is time for Quidditch tryouts. Everyone is obliged to try out as all teams are in need of 3 player… Your prefect is also your Quidditch Captain, try your best to impress.
***Extra-Challenge (for Extra-Points awarded to each house as a team):***
It is a new tradition in Hogwarts that in the first days some major pranks are played to establish early on who is the biggest prankster of the year! So work together with your housemates and come up with the most imaginative of pranks! Don’t forget that you need to inform your victims on what will happen to them! (If you happen to be a victim, try to play along and laugh with the others!)
Please no serious injuries or bad taste! ^^
Check your house's common room (links in the second post) for further information!
***You need:***
YOU MUST INDICATE YOUR HOUSE AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR POST!!!!!!!!
*1 story about the events of September 1st and 2nd
*3 outfits: Arriving at King’s Cross, Uniform (you can just use the one from nines or try to create something yourseslf but remember that the rules in terms of colors, etc. are strict), Quidditchoutfit (do NOT edit a uniform, just wear something sporty and comfortable aka do NOT wear what you think is your house's quidditch uniform).
Note: You might have noticed that I posted pictures of your prefects and some boys...They are here for you to interact with! Please note that Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin have prefects that will actually post in the contest, so if you want to interact with them make sure you talk to the bimbo behind them! If you need to interact with the Gryffindor prefect and are a bit unsure feel free to pm me!
As for the boys... Some boys are single, others aren't... You can interact with them, have crushes on them, etc. However there is no need to do so... This is not a classic dating contest, so if you'd rather just have fun writing about magic and your girlfriends you are absolutely free to do so!
If however you are actually interested in a boy (and please do NOT introduce other boys at Hogwarts as your characters love interest) please pm me and tell me which one you like!
From http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hogwarts_uniform (help with the uniform, but of course feel free to deviate a little - uniforms deemed unsuitable will earn you a detention... ^^ But I leave it to you to figure out what will be deemed unsuitable...^^):
"The uniform consisted of a plain white buttoned shirt, a house tie (thin stripes) (red and gold, green and silver, yellow and black or blue and silver, according to House), a charcoal grey knitted v-neck jumper, a cardigan or a sleeveless vest (with cuffs and waist House-coloured), charcoal grey trousers (for males) or skirt (for females), black tights or charcoal grey socks, plain black shoes and a plain black silver fastened robe with the student's House emblem on and respective coloured lining. Some students wore accesories on top of their uniform (Draco Malfoy wore a Snake badge on his tie and Parvati Patil and her sister Padma both wear necklaces with the letter "P" over their ties). "

Here is Racquel's full blurb incase you want more information on her when writing - for instance she has a french accent. She also has a black cat named Magnus, and anyone who so much as looks at Nate is in big trouble.
Ravenclaw prefect, Racquel Suzanna Mandeville is the product of pureblood parents – a French father, Alexandre Mandeville and a British mother, Suzanna Corbett. Suzanna was a student in Hogwarts, in Ravenclaw of course, while Alexandre attended Beauxbatons. Both went on to secure high positions in their respective ministries of magic, but when the Quidditch World Cup meant the French and English Ministries had to work together, the two met and fell quickly in love. They started a family together in their Chateau together in France, but Suzanna was always adamant that when it came time for their children to attend school, they would be attending her beloved Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
From the moment she stepped foot in the hallowed halls of Hogwarts, Raquel stood out in the crowd. Her beautiful long blonde hair and angelic, enchanting face would have been enough to set her apart from the rest, but her innate elegance and incredible intelligence meant that she was one of the most popular girls in the school. It came as no surprise to anyone when the tall, svelte blonde was named prefect of Ravenclaw as well as quidditch captain (she has been seeker on the team since her second year) this year.
It would be no great shock that Raquel isn’t the warmest of people – you don’t command respect by treating everyone like your friend, but she is by no means a b*tch, and she is an amazing friend to those she cares about. Coming from a wealthy pureblood family, Raquel is a little snobby, and can be very judgemental on first impressions, like most teenage girls she has a wild side. She thrives on the compliments she receives from others, and revels in her spot on the popularity hierarchy.

Morning Ravenclaws 
Any ideas for your prank? Just remember, magic in the hallways will result in losing points, and Racquel would not be pleased if you did that.

Hello I am from Hufflepuff, I hope I am not barging in on anything 
I would just like to say that our houses prank is nearly complete and I will be posting it here once we are finished... Just so you know

*chuckles*
But surely the key to pranks lie in not telling your enemy when it comes?
Nahh, I kid, but don't worry, there should be something in wait...
No, no magic... maybe a simple set-up would work best. Or making use of one or two of the local supernatural residents

Read my last post ^^ They're just suggestions, of course, but I suppose a few poltergeists *cough* would jump at a chance to wreck havoc with... ah, permission 
Offline

Mmmm, but if peeves were involved, we couldn't prank Slytherin.
Slytherin's prank messes up Hufflepuff & Gryffindor's common room portraits, so maybe we should avoid that option?

Everybody, please let me know what position on the quidditch team you will be applying for? Racquel is seeker but you can have anything else. At the end of the round I will pick the three who make the team.

So Sis (Jadis) and I were talking and she suggested that we could send a present to a house and it would be enchanted so when it opens it would sing some horrible song so laud and I thought that maybe it would be a better idea that we give the present to some gryffs owl (you wanna do it missbabygash?) and then the other morning at breakfest a first year opens it and Paris Hilton's song is played or some other horrible one. We would take one pair of ear muffs and someone could use a gemini spell (thanks Emmy) to multiply them so it doesn't look like we had anything to do with it and would be a good idea to warn the slyths so it's hard to tell whose fault was it.
So what say you oh wise ravenclaws

And to add an addendum to Artemis' idea... we were thinking that the only way to get the thing to shut up was to either cause grievous physical damage to it (bashing it up, throwing it out of the window) or to give it to another person, since it's been charmed so it won't shut up

Right, forgot to put that

Also we could probably use Moaning Myrtle, she was a Ravenclaw after all

Love it! Can I do it please? I'll send it to a Hufflepuff first year
What would we use Myrtle for?
Ok, well you'll need to go to the tower where the owls are then give 'the present' to a gryff or a huff's owl -> this should be done on the night of 1st September when we get to Hogwarts so the present is brought by the owl in the morning when everyone has breakfast. One of us should bring ear muffs and then someone will use the gemini spell to multiply them so that we are not affected by it
