Slytherin Notice Board

[Droo]

In the corner of the Slytherin Common Room stands a tall cork bulletin board. Any parchment that touched the cork is magically affixed on it by the self sticking charm it posesses. Here is where you may post class announcements, homework or anything else you think the great house of Salazar Slytherin would do well knowing. And remember...

We're Slytherin, told it's a sin
A House no-one worthwhile's in.
What dung, what rot, what utter tripe
A rather silly stereotype.

Slytherin's for those with brains--
Yet not ashamed to work for gain
Slytherin's for those quite brave
But not to the point of an early grave.

One learns quick and well in Slytherin
How to thrive and how to win.
We're clever, ambitious and maybe mean--
But hey, we get to dress in green.

Cross us and get curse-whacked
A snake never gets side-tracked
We're Slytherin, it's all the rage
Don't stick us in your 'good kid' cage.

You'll think of us as model tykes
But prone to lies, and quick to bite
Let everyone else mutter and glare
We're Slytherins, so we don't care.

Now let's be frank; Slytherin rules
We're the rebel house, the house of cool
Trust only those who are already in,
Too bad all houses aren't Slytherin.

Hi everyone! This year I’m going to give you a term-long challenge to complete instead of a final. The challenge will be in two parts; One part will be answering questions and the other is a pure RP challenge. I want to test your astronomy knowledge in what will hopefully be a fun way by posting a new question each RP month which, if you complete along with the RP challenge, can earn you up to 40 house points at the end of the school term along with a mystery prize.

Intrigued? Then subscribe to this thread and participate to earn glory for your house and for yourself!

The rules:

• New questions will be posted each rp month, a month in the rp is 10 RL days. The questions will test your knowledge in astronomy. They may be about past lessons, former or current professors, or just general astronomy knowledge which shouldn’t be too hard to find.
• All answers to questions must be PM'd to Nordic Witch. Do not post them in this thread. Doing so will result in point loss.
• The answers are not to be shared.
• If you participate in the RP challenge, you will RP your student stargazing from windows in the school, in the observatory, or out on the grounds. The minimum is 10 quality rp posts. The maximum is 15 rp posts.
• A quality post consists of detail and should not be a one liner.
• You will need to PM Nordic Witch with the links to your stargazing posts by the end of term.
• You can do the RP challenge with a a partner or a group but you still need to send me links of at least 10 of your own posts.
• If you have any questions you can PM Nordic Witch

Good luck!

Across from the Muggle Studies classroom, an older door hides a new surprise set up by Professor Cerulean to further introduce and immerse students in some more of the fun aspects of Muggle Life.

When the door is open, you will step into a room that has been charmed to match the theme of the room. Inside this room, no student is allowed to use magic. It is a completely Magic Free Fun Zone.

Every few months (few weeks OOC), the theme of the room will change to something else. During this time, you can RP taking part in those activities.

The first theme of the year has just opened up!!!!


So head over, grab some popcorn, a drink, and some candy, and have a seat and start enjoying the movie!!!

Herbology Homework One

Task:

Even though Fire Seed Bushes take an immensely long time to grow, even up to 250 years, they do not take very long to sprout. Just two days after the first Herbology lesson, you will find that your Fire Seed Bush has sprouted and is hopefully rather healthy.

Remembering that they like dark and damp conditions, your task is to go and pay your Fire Seed Bushling a visit. In doing so, you must perform the following tasks:

1. Ensure that it is in a dark enough area of Greenhouse 2. If not, then kindly ask the Ivy to block a bit more of the light out. Don't forget to thank it and give it a pat or a hug.

2. Give your Fire Seed a LIGHT sprinkling of water. Remember it has to be boiling hot water.

3. Sing a song to your Fire Seed and dance in circles around it. All plants need some entertainment for development.

4. In the stored cupboard by the entrance of the greenhouse you will find a small bag of blood and bone mix. Take a pinch of it and sprinkle it around the Bushling's base. Try not to burn yourself.

5. Read the Fire Seed Bushling a bedtime story of your choice and wish it sweet dreams.

Note: You must RP these activities in The Greenhouses. You must do this in 5 posts. Then when you have finished, PM me the links to your posts by clicking on the #number icon in the corner of your posts.

Worth:
10 points

Due:
Wednesday 25th January, 2:30pm GMT

Submit to:
Professor Bentley


OOC: Please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations in regards to submitting homework. I will NOT accept late submissions. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a PM, and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.
