Whoopo for the gryffindor

Round 1 Task:

It’s September 1st and you are headed for King’s Cross to catch the Hogwarts Express at 11am. Then it’s a long train ride up north until you arrive at Hogsmeade. From there you will ride up to Hogwarts in horseless carriages.

Once at Hogwarts you will attend the Welcome Feast and witness the sorting of the new 1st years.

The next day you will have your first classes.

08.00am:
Gryffindors & Hufflepuffs: Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall
Ravenclaw & Slytherins: Charms with Professor Flitwick

10.00am:
Hufflepuffs & Ravenclaws: Herbology with Professor Sprout
Gryffindors & Slytherins: Potions with Professor Slughorn

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! ^^

***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... wink 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... ^^):
"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). "

bleeding hell adi. I will read that in the morning when I have the use of two eyes and not one.

I like that idea as well amy!

I do too!

Hey fellow Gryffindors!

My computer at home has broken down, it keeps switching itself off. By now it has settled to switching off almost imediately after switching on. So I don't know if I'll be able to participate at all, I would have to work on my outfits and post from work, and I don't know if I find the time, especially for the story writing And if I post I want it to be something decent, because it would be a shame if not, I really love Harry Potter, and being in Gryffindor and all. I just couldn't stand not doing my best.
Maybe I can make it tomorrow, Fridays tend to be a bit less busy, but in any case, best of luck to all of you!
I'm so sorry

So some ideas for something we could do to Slytherins... Well everyone knows their common room is in the dungeon, and it wouldn't be too hard to follow one of them down to the exact location, right? We could booby trap outside their common room to make their first day something extra special to remember! We could use something from Weasleys Wizard Wheezes, maybe something to make the floor slick as oil that won't fade for 24 hours?

Also, it's worth mentioning that we all remember we're actually fourth years... We're not just starting at Hogwarts. I know my entry with my touching brother-speech makes it sound like I'm a first year, but it was just thrown in there to give Eri herself a little more depth and play up the dynamic of her relationship with her brother.

That being said, we're all probably already friends so we should probably all be together on the Express, yes?

Yeah i think we would be, so should we make a list of everyone's character name so that we can remember it for our stories?

yeah, i think you are right, we should all stay together in the Express and i really like the ideea with the prank, it sounds really good.
I'm going to post the list. ^^

That list looks right! So, as we know we're going to be pranked (by Slytherin, I think). They're going to have the Fat Lady leave the portrait hole. What I figure is, since they ran back into their common room as soon as they saw their prank work... While our prefect is out getting help to fix our problem, we could sneak down to the dungeons and spread the oil. Of course, we'd have to be super quick about everything in order to make it back up to Gryffindor tower before Kendra came back with help.

We can say it's Eri's idea, and she manages to talk you all into it. Then it'll pretty much be the same story for all of us, scrambling down to the dungeon and back up. I figure Filch will be busy with the Fat Lady so he won't bother us.

Then there's Quidditch try outs. I was thinking of having Eri try out for Keeper.

I love the idea with the prank 
but I've got a question, should I, or everybody from Gryffindor change their story now change the story and talk about the prank in it? It's not a problem for me I just wanted to know.

And for Quidditch tryouts, I thought about Jenna trying out for Chaser.

Attention gryffs! *cough cough*

If you don't know you will be painted blue since that is the Raven' color ^^

On the 1st day of classes when we are all having breakfast an owl will come to you carrying a present. When a gryff opens it you will hear a melody and will fall to sleep immediately. You will be sleeping 5 mins, that is the duration of the song. After you wake up, your faces will be blue

Enjoy your sleep!

Thank you for your patience.
Bye, bye
