Post Mister Baldvinsson’s Hut


Banner credit: Suziella

On the Grounds just at the edge of the Forbidden Forest stands a hut which have been the home to many Groundskeepers over the years. Although keeping most of its original exterior, its current resident, Mr. Baldvinsson has added a few things to make himself feel more at home. Dangling in the wind above the door hangs feathers, a few ancient blow horns and some runes for protection. Mind your head.

Once the Groundskeeper have let you in, you are met by a large wooden table in the center of the room where you may take a seat and listen to a story or two. You’ll see no photographs of people but of that of wide, white landscapes, mountains and icy blue water that makes the Great Lake resemble a pond. Except for a small kitchen and a generous sized bed in the corner, the walls of the hut is lined with shelves of old artifacts such as bones, runes, mysterious looking tools and books with titles in foreign Nordic languages.

Please do not touch any of the ancient artifacts that Mr. Baldvinsson has collected over the years. If you wish to take a closer look, ask and if you’re lucky; you may get to know how Mr. Baldvinsson came across said object.

Whether it’s curiosity, seeking advice or just dropping in for a cup of tea, Mr. Baldvinsson enjoys visitors. Knock, take a seat on the bench right next to the door and he will be with you shortly. If not inside, he’s probably out making sure no students wander off into the Forbidden Forest.


Please post your character knocking on the door and we will let you in as soon as possible!

She didn't waste too much time making her way to the Professor's hut the very day after the roster was posted. She needed time to think about it first and time to consider possible outcomes among other things but now she was here and was ready to have a proper discussion with the man.

The thing was, heading into the tryouts, she wasn't sure what she wanted, but by the end, she was pretty sure it wasn't Chaser.

Knock knock knock.

Was he in? She'd been sure to check her surroundings while heading over, just in case he was somewhere else on the grounds getting on with his duties because that would've meant a wasted walk. Only place she didn't really check was the forest--for good reason--so she was hoping she didn't miss him. Of course, based on the route she took, she could've still missed him ANYWAY but she knocked all the same.

Haraldur sat on a bench behind the Hut, enjoying a twenty minutes break from his usual duties. With great care, he used his Tail-Twig Clippers on the broom he was currently using.

Knock knock knock.

He stopped his clipping and turned around on the bench towards the sound. "I'm around back!" He called, to whoever was visiting.

Then he continued to clip off a stray piece of twig.

Around back. Oh. That was even better.

Jessa abandoned her position at the door, heading around the side of the hut and to the back. She was quite relieved to have heard his voice, grateful she wouldn't have to go combing the grounds or periodically checking back until he was here. A third option of waiting around til he got back wasn't plausible at all, mostly because who knew when he'd be back? That could potentially have been a lot of time lost. Suffice to say, she wasn't prepared for that to happen.

"Afternoon Mister Baldvinsson." She greeted, rounding the side of the hut and coming into view as she got to the back. The first thing she noted was the broom in his hand.

"Is....this a bad time?" The Ravenclaw asked, coming to a stop just a few feet away from where the man sat. "I was hoping to talk to you about the rosters if it's not too late." She'd come as soon as she could but who really knew? What if the man had already drafted game rosters? Or other official super important things that once written down couldn't be changed? Was that how Quidditch worked? She wasn't entirely sure about the small details.

The Quidditch roster had been posted. Rylee had gone over the roster several times the first time having missed her own name entirely. The second time to look again when she spotted her name and saw that it was listed beside 'Reserve'. Than again to make sure her name was still there. It was.

It wasn't until after speaking with both Stasya and than Captain Zoryn that the first decided to triple check her findings with Mister Baldvinsson. If anyone knew all the specifics about how being a reserved worked... it was him. So it was with complete utter excitement still coursing through her short self that she bounced and skipped her way down from the lions den out onto the ground all the way to the mans Hut.

Rylee briefly looked out at the forest before her attention moved back onto the Hut and she walked towards the door. Luckily for her being little meant she didn't have to duck under those feathers and things the man had hanging around. Raising her fist she rapped her knuckles on the door before plopping her bottom onto the bench and waiting, feet swinging to and fro as she was unable to remain still.

Clip, clip.

Haraldur held the broom at arm's length, inspecting how it looked before going in with the clippers again. This was when his visitor rounded the corner.

"Ah, Miss Cambridge, good afternoon!" Haraldur gave her a quick smile before returning to care for his broom. "No, no, you've caught me at a good time. I have some time." Or... He'd taken some time to himself before he had to attend to some business in the Forest.

The old man squinted up at the Ravenclaw and crossed his feet. "The rosters?" He scooted over on the bench and gestured for her to take a seat. After all, there was more than enough room for both of them. "Is there a problem?"

Haraldur was heading to the castle to meet with Laurel to discuss the joint lesson they had planned. He was already running a bit late, but he was sure she was used to it by now. A light knock on the door, warned him he would probably be more than just a little late to their meeting. Dropping what he had in his arms he went to answer the door.

"Why hello there, Miss. Prichard!" He boomed as his eyes landed on the little Lion. "What brings you here?"

Hearing what sounded like something falling over or being dropped inside had her looking around. Uh-oh. Had she startled him and made him dropped something? Hopefully he wouldn't be angry now when he answered the door.

Rylee's eyes turned to the door right away as it opened and Haraldur stood there before. He didn't look upset or angry, this was good. "Hello, Mister Baldvinsson," she greeted with a bright smile jumping up onto her feet as she spoke. "I hope I'm not bothering you but I just had a question about the Quidditch teams and I thought it best to ask you... so I know for sure."

After a brief little pause she spoke again. "Do those on the team that are listed as Reserves get to use our own brooms now... or do I still have to wait until next term?" She knew first years weren't permitted to bring their brooms from home but maybe being a part of the team made a difference in that matter?

Had to admit, of all the potential things one might have to do when they owned a broom, she didn't think clipping the brush of the broom would be one of them. Interesting. Something to make note of maybe, since she'd now have to owl home for her own broom to be sent over.

Jessa looked at the bench a moment, considering how inclined she was to take a seat. As it turned out, not very. There was an underlying restlessness that had not made itself known until she'd stopped moving and sitting would be the worst under those circumstances.

"No thank you, Sir. I don't think I'll be here very long." And would much prefer the pacing she had fallen into. "No, no no, there's no problem just......I couldn't help wondering.....and I know you already worked hard to make the decision but........could I be...reconsidered? For Beater maybe?" She hadn't said what she'd wanted when she'd signed up, but the tryouts had been pretty eye opening for her. "I tried getting here before anything sat too long--and I'd be happy to try out again, just, I thought I'd ask."

Anxiously, she fidgeted with her fingers. "I don't think I'd make that good of a chaser, and I don't think I wanna be responsible for my team scoring or not scoring--and I know it's a team effort and I'd have two other Chasers to help but the anxiety alone would kill me each game."

"I can write you up a permission slip for you to show if any older students give you a hard time." He nodded. "I can bring it to the next lesson if you'd like?"

Haraldur put down the clippers and listened to her requirement. When she was done, he frowned, deep in thought.

"Well..." He said, looking out over the Grounds as he hesitated and thought aloud. "I gave you the position of Chaser because I think you would do really well. Miss Primeaux and Miss Durant are both very strong Beaters." He looked up at her, shrugging one shoulder. "I might be willing to reconsider some of the positions on the Ravenclaw Team if you absolutely want me to. I put together the roster which I believe to have the best chance at beating the other Houses. However, Quidditch shouldn't be a source of anxiety or stress."

He grabbed his broom and the clippers and stood up from the bench. "Miss Durant and Miss Primeaux are the Beaters currently. If you believe you would do a better job as Beater and one of the other girls would be better suitable as Chaser, I am not opposed to you bringing this up to your Captain and the rest of your team. But if they don't want to switch from Beater and you don't want to continue on as Chaser, that's what the Reserves are for and you might trade with one of them."

She could always be the stand-in Beater if she only wanted that position.

"There won't be long until Ravenclaw has its first official game. Would you be willing to try as Chaser? Perhaps it will feel better once the first game o the season is over?"

"There won't be long until Ravenclaw has its first official game. Would you be willing to try as Chaser? Perhaps it will feel better once the first game o the season is over?"


The hesitation should have been enough to tell her this wasn't as easy a fix as she'd hoped but Jessa sat still listening all the same. There was no way to predict the outcome, despite her mind having come up with several on the walk over, so really...she'd have to listen regardless.

His first statements saw her losing a bit of colour. He thought she would make a good chaser? Was that by default...? Because....during tryout.......that had probably been the worst position--or so she thought, but now it got her thinking that if she'd been so bad at it but he felt this the perfect fit, she must have been exponentially worse at everything else...which probably meant she was bad at quidditch in GENERAL--which, y'know....wouldn't have surprised her too much in truth and a part of her always knew that but this unspoken confirmation made the realization all the more...well.....real.

Then he said Rhea and Juni were strong Beater. That was the second most important point. Why would she cripple Ravenclaw by removing very strong players just so she could do a poor to mediocre job at best by comparison? The best interest of the team needed to be taken into consideration and at the moment it was not her......it really wasn't. "No....I won't do that. They were both really looking forward to their positions. I don't wanna ask them to give that up." For her of all people. As if they'd even consider it.

It was something they were actually good at and again, the team didn't need to be shot in the leg on her account. Circe just thinking about this was giving her anxiety.

That was what made the decision so easier for her. "Reserve is fine." Reserve was out of the way. She wouldn't cost anyone the game if she wasn't even playing. Yes. Yes that was actually quite an inspired idea. "Give Chaser to Erik, I'm sure he'll love it and he'll likely do a far better job." Singing any sort of praises of her co-Prefect wasn't something she thought she'd ever do but facts were facts and this wasn't about her. "First game won't make it feel better. I've already started overthinking it." Which meant it was now too late. The Ravenclaw had successfully managed to psych herself out. "I'll take the Reserve." And hope she would never be needed.

Rylee didn't mind standing outside and talking even if it was cold. She had worn an over-sized hoodie that might not have looked very warm but was. Plus she was super used to all types of weather.

The wide smile that was on her face grew and grew until she was practically beaming at him. "Thank you! I really wasn't sure I'd even make it as a reserve but I'm super excited... Captain Zoryn says she's I'll be trained in all the spots so I can be the best help possible for the team." Which sounded A-MA-ZING! to her. "Really?! I'll owl my mum and dad and have them send me my broom then!" With HER broom from home she really would be the best reserve ever.

Nods. "Yes, please. That would be great. I'll keep it on me at all times so I'm never without it... just in case." Mhmm. She knew very well that some of the older students might question her having a broom so this worked very well for her.

Oh! Just one more thing! "Do reserves get robes and equipment too? Do I need to ask my parents to get me anything for the team?" This was highly important. If she needed anything she wanted to have it as soon as possibly!

His first statements saw her losing a bit of colour. He thought she would make a good chaser? Was that by default...? Because....during tryout.......that had probably been the worst position--or so she thought, but now it got her thinking that if she'd been so bad at it but he felt this the perfect fit, she must have been exponentially worse at everything else...which probably meant she was bad at quidditch in GENERAL--which, y'know....wouldn't have surprised her too much in truth and a part of her always knew that but this unspoken confirmation made the realization all the more...well.....real.

Then he said Rhea and Juni were strong Beater. That was the second most important point. Why would she cripple Ravenclaw by removing very strong players just so she could do a poor to mediocre job at best by comparison? The best interest of the team needed to be taken into consideration and at the moment it was not her......it really wasn't. "No....I won't do that. They were both really looking forward to their positions. I don't wanna ask them to give that up." For her of all people. As if they'd even consider it.

It was something they were actually good at and again, the team didn't need to be shot in the leg on her account. Circe just thinking about this was giving her anxiety.

That was what made the decision so easier for her. "Reserve is fine." Reserve was out of the way. She wouldn't cost anyone the game if she wasn't even playing. Yes. Yes that was actually quite an inspired idea. "Give Chaser to Erik, I'm sure he'll love it and he'll likely do a far better job." Singing any sort of praises of her co-Prefect wasn't something she thought she'd ever do but facts were facts and this wasn't about her. "First game won't make it feel better. I've already started overthinking it." Which meant it was now too late. The Ravenclaw had successfully managed to psych herself out. "I'll take the Reserve." And hope she would never be needed.

Haraldur frowned but kept his gaze steady at the Ravenclaw Prefect. Most of the time, the kids confused him. Perhaps what he should have done was to simply ask how she was doing, or tell her just how much potential he saw in her on the team. But he didn't understand the turmoil of emotion the teenagers he taught went through and was a firm believer of 'if anything is wrong, they'll tell me'. Naive perhaps. Or maybe he just didn't have much Ravenclaw in him.

"Well, I'd prefer keeping Erik as a Reserve." 'Minimal effort but still part of the team' - Not really the attitude he was looking for in a team player. "If you're sure of this decision then I'll change the roster and put Miss Quinn as Chaser." She was fast, quite agile. It would be good. Not as good as having Jessa but the choice was all hers.

He brushed off his robe. "I can fly by the Pitch and change the Noticeboard right now before I have to attend to some other duties. Would you like me to?"

One last chance for her to back out. In the end, her decision was final and no matter how much he wanted her on the team, he wouldn't be forcing anyone.

Captain Zoryn says she's I'll be trained in all the spots so I can be the best help possible for the team." Which sounded A-MA-ZING! to her. "Really?! I'll owl my mum and dad and have them send me my broom then!" With HER broom from home she really would be the best reserve ever.

Nods. "Yes, please. That would be great. I'll keep it on me at all times so I'm never without it... just in case." Mhmm. She knew very well that some of the older students might question her having a broom so this worked very well for her.

Oh! Just one more thing! "Do reserves get robes and equipment too? Do I need to ask my parents to get me anything for the team?" This was highly important. If she needed anything she wanted to have it as soon as possibly!

He had to admit, the enthusiasm and the excitement the younger students showed as they talked about Quidditch made him all gooey inside. He wasn't a sentimental man and rarely showed much emotion but he had worked hard for Quidditch to be back at school and just one student being so happy about it made it all worth it.

"Ah yes," He smiled. "Your Captain is very dedicated to her team, if she says she'll train you for all positions then she will." He had no doubt about that. "Imagine what a talented Quidditch player you will become after being trained for all positions."

So she wanted a permission slip? "I'll remember to bring one to the next flying lesson." Normally he would have to write things like this down but given that it was related to Quidditch, there was no need. Always top priority.

"Reserves get all the necessary gear as everyone else on the team. You have an important position, Rylee." He didn't want her to think that she didn't just because she wasn't in the starting position. "There's no need for anything to be sent from home, I have ordered..." Too much. He had ordered too much. "More than enough gear for everyone. Of course you'll get your own jersey and everything with your name and number on it."

Clasping her hands behind her back she continued rocking back and forth on her feet to try to contain some of her excitement.

Her true passion would always be seeker though.

"Thank you," she smiled warmly. The permission slip could wait until than she wasn't in a hurry. Okay, so she was but she could easily continue to use the school brooms until she the permission slip from him. Either way she would have to wait for her broom from home anyhow.

This was AWESOME! "I know. I'll be the best reserve ever and make the team proud." There was nothing wrong with being a reserve. She was still training with the team and getting to learn all the positions better. So she hadn't gotten the position she wanted, no big deal. There was always next year. "I'll owl home and just have my broom sent to me than." Since everything else was given to them. The mention that she was getting her own broom had her twirling around happily on the spot.

Was it bad that she was mildly amused at the man's refusal to properly put Erik on the team? For the longest while she thought she'd been the only one to see the boy for what he was, making it refreshing when Professors up and did things like this. Merlin Knew Professor Hirsch got an earful from her every few days and she wasn't naive enough to miss the way Erik put in his own complaints about her. It had kinda become their thing, hadn't it? But really it was good he wasn't fooling the adults in this place too much.

"Yeah, I'm sure Teresa will do a good job too." Pretty much anyone that wasn't her would've done a better job. The man could've told her he was animating a sack of flour to replace her and she'd still applaud the idea.

It all had her wondering yet again WHY she'd thought trying out would've been a good idea? Any illusion of it being fun had long since been crushed by the rising tides of anxiety. Was a sport meant to be so stressful? Merlin knew cutting open dead birds and kneazles was less nerve wracking.

"I'd like that, thank you." Him going to change it before it became too late and she started worrying about it too much more. "And.....sorry for wasting your time like this." Trying out and having him put her on the team just to be taken off. It probably wasn't a good luck, even she could see that. "I'll give it a lot more thought before trying out in future. More practice too." And likely a dose of anti-anxiety meds, nevermind that those weren't the sort she technically needed.

Haraldur chuckled at her excitement. "It sounds like the other Houses have a great deal coming their way." With a Reserve like Rylee, the others had to watch out.

He pushed off from the bench, wrapping his coat around him tighter. "If there wasn't something else on your mind, Rylee, I better get up to the castle to meet with your Divination professor or she might turn me into something with warts." It was a joke, clearly. But still.

The thought did make him nervous.

Haraldur waved one hand dismissively. "You're not wasting my time at all, I would have liked you on the team, perhaps another year." Even though she might not be convinced, he was still under the strong belief that she would do a good job. And he wasn't known for changing his mind.

"I'll change the roster and let your Captain and Miss Quinn know." Actually, he would do it right now before going on his next patrol.

Unless there was something else bothering her that he might be able to help with?

She was there and only there to turn in her paper that she had done. The fact that he let her do that at all and didn't force her on a broom was a miracle within itself so in no way would Zita be difficult when it came to this assignment.


Holding it in her hand she knocked on his hut. Was he there or out doing something?
She knew with Quidditch back he was probably extra busy, but hopefully, if he wasn't she could just use a sticking charm to his hut. Professors really needed mailboxes in the school or something. Maybe she would suggest that each having one in common rooms that just zooms stuff right to them. It would be so perfect.


For now though she knocked and waited.

Rylee nodded fast. "Uh-huh! Gryffindor has an amazing team!" And she wasn't just saying that because she had made the team either. The players on the team had heart and true passion for the game. No matter what happened out there on the pitch they would always give their all to the match.

Nope. She had nothing else to add or ask. Rylee giggled shaking her head. "If I happen to run into a stray toad I'll make sure to ask him if it's you... just in case." Whether or not she was teasing was a little unsure but the smile on her face was still there as was the laughter.

"I should be going anyhow, I need to owl my sister. Thanks again, Mister Baldvinsson! Have a wonderful day!" With that she turned and skipped away waving at the older man as she went.

For now though she knocked and waited.


Haraldur wasn't in his Hut or anywhere else on the Grounds. Outside of his usual Groundskeeper and Flying duties, he had some of his own personal matters to take care of, which was why he had just paid the house elves a little friendly visit. His supply of peanuts were running dangerously low and Merlin knew he needed them now more than ever. He took his time to return to the Hut, he had Quidditch practices to approve of, students to grade and lessons to plan. Slowly, he hovered across the Grounds, humming a tune to himself. He should probably take a look by the Lake and the Pathways but a silhouette by his Hut made him change directions again.

A student visit? Someone wondering about the schedule for the next Quidditch game? Haraldur squinted his eyes to recognize the back of the head of Zita Valla.

Maybe not someone wondering about the Quidditch schedule after all.

"Miss Valla," He called out as he approached her and his Hut. "Good afternoon." He said once he reached her and dismounted his brom. The snow let out a satisfying crunch as his boots touched the ground. "How can I help?"

He just had a feeling she wasn't there for a lighthearted chat.

"That's very true, it's a strong team Gryffindor." He nodded. And they had a Captain which would pretty much do anything for them to win.

Haraldur had every faith in his colleague not to turn him into a toad for his tardiness but thankful nevertheless that he'd have one of his students looking out for him. He gave the young Quidditch player a small wave. "Anytime, Rylee. See you in class."

The flying instructor watched her skip off before he went back inside, grabbed the things he needed for the meeting and quickly flew up to the castle, up the seven floors and towards the Divination tower.

He didn't mind being late to anything (it wasn't like he wasn't always late either way) and especially not if the reason for him being late was his Quidditch players students.

Standing in the cold Zita shivered a bit, these winter months were awful, though she'd deal with it for a moment before she'd turn back and just try again later or should she just shove the paper under his door. Her thoughts didn't get very far when she heard someone call out. Turning she watched him land that damn broom. Really did he know she was coming so he had to put on a show? Just then she realized she should have asked Maxton to come with her or even just brought his homework, that wasn't very nice of her. She'd have to make it up to him.

"Hello professor, I've come to drop off my assignment. Ten full pages for you."
She might have fumbled through some of it, but it was done and she had made the ten pages on that vicious killing game they played in class. She wondered how many did get injured with those horrible brooms.

Giving another shiver she pulled the papers out of her bag and lifted them to him.

"Ah, the assignment." Haraldur leaned his broom against one of the benches outside his hut while the Shuntbumps-rebel dug around her bag for the assignment. There was no doubt in his mind her 10 pages would be an... Interesting read. "Ten pages, good, good." He grabbed the pages when she handed them over and had a quick skim through the first paragraph.

"Did your research of Shuntbumps change your view of the game? Or only confirm your previous opinion?"

He would probably find out once he had a sat down and read the assignment but he was curious. She wasn't known for easily changing her mind.

She watched him skim through her paper and was going to not deal with any type of trying to redirect her opinion if he tried to,
but she knew her paper was mostly boring facts and dates from the research she had done.

"No sir, nothing is going to make my opinion change on any broom sport.
I'm sorry that I'm not a teachable student for you, but my feet are better planted firmly on the ground."
She would never fly and no one would change that not even if her life depended on it.


"I hope you find my paper up to your expectations, I did spend a good amount of time in the library working on it." Her smile was sweet as she watched him with the paper. Was she off the hook now?

Technically, Zita Valla was an excellent teachable student, since she was so anti-flying. The really skilled flyers, (the ones that kept handing in suggestions for flying to be allowed inside the castle at all times) still of course had a lot to learn. But he admitted it would be enjoyable to turn an anti-flyer into a... Well, a flyer.

However, the flying instructor simply shrugged his shoulders. "Not everyone enjoys the concept of flying." He couldn't really relate though, why walk when you could fly? Everywhere.. "I'll read through your paper this evening and possible give you some feedback on it."

Haraldur nodded his head, glancing up from the papers at the blonde. "Good job then, Miss Valla. I'm sure you have another class to attend."

So, you know... Skedaddle. Shoo. Unless there was something else on her mind, he now had an extra 10 pages to go through to add to his already growing pile of to-do's.

"I wouldn't say the concept itself is the problem. At least not with me. I understand the concept, I understand the workings of a broom, the history of it, what I can not get past is my feel leaving the ground and being up in the air. Heights just aren't a thing I enjoy." No one would ever change that fear, she would die if she was forced up into the sky.

"Well I hope you enjoy it, I did put some of my own opinions in it of course, so it's not just researched, gives you some more entertaining pieces."


So if that was all, she could head and maybe get a hot chocolate. "I'll see you around professor." Nice guy he was, maybe Myers should take some pointers from him.
