Hmm... Chris might know what the mysterious "third term" is, but she's in vacation and won't be back 'till January...
She sorted me to my house at that time, and I think she was the Deputy Headmistress at that time, too... or was it the previous term?
Anyways, is the "third term" end around mid-November? 'Cause I recall that after being sorted, I went to the school and was able to read threads like "Sun Deck," etc. and I tried to post in the House Table but hehe, 'twas closed. Also, 'twas the Gryffindor House who won the House cup in that year. Rox was already a professor at that time and she was teaching the fire seeds, but I think she wasn't able to finish the lesson so she continued it when I was a first year in the school. I hope you all can remember the other details...
Wow, I'm glad I can still remember these things... O_o
