| | |  School Chat Term 39
The train has pulled into Kings Cross Station waiting to take all you eager students to Hogwarts, your home for the next nine months. With a new term comes a new chat so let's wave goodbye to the Term 38 school chat and say hello to the shiny new Term 39 school chat.
Now is the time to talk your little heads off about who did what during their summer vacation and what those lucky graduated students are doing since they don't have to go back to Hogwarts. We already know who the new incoming professors are going to be, but what about the new prefects, as well as the head boy and head girl? Let's also not forget that we are still clueless about who the new Hufflepuff Head of House is going to be. Now that the crazy fairy tale book is out of commission, what kind of trouble will everyone find to get themselves into next? What kind of danger lurks around the school for us this term?
Well what are you waiting for? There are so many things to discuss here. Go. Chat. Speculate. But most important, have FUN!
And don't forget our little game of Truth, Truth, Dare. What a perfect opportunity to have your characters carry out some fun challenging dares in DA and the school. Check it out here.
Rules:
X-Site Rules apply at all times
X-Be super welcoming to Newbies! it can be all a bit overwhelming, remember??
X- The topic is the Hogwarts RPG and your lovely school charries! Please try to stay on topic! Take off-topic stuff to VMs or to the TP SH errr.... this place.
X- No spamming or double posting!
X-Any posted images must be hosted by YOU. That means no hotlinking!
X- All Graphics Rules must be followed at all times.
Ministry of Magic Chat is here
Diagon Alley Chat is here

Welcome to Term Thirty-Nine!!! The IC year is 2085-2086 The OOC year is January - April 2015!
Have fun!

geddit? 
she wasnt really hiding it. nobody just bothered to ask directly
and basically she just didnt like her first name. too pedestrian she says, said why wasnt she named Alexandria or Adeline or something. so she did a Madonna thing and went with just Huxley
she has a full backstory too, but she isnt allowing me to talk anymore :hack: BUT DOMINIC DENTON. (do i have your attention? :p)
is he coming to the Reunion? HB class of '70 right? my boy Levi should be familiar with him, different house, but graduated the same year Oh ... yes, I remember that. Very clever of you
And I'm pretty sure for a few terms we may have read her name as "I am Huxley"
BUT *squeaks* Yes 
Dominic Denton says OF COURSE he is coming to the reunion because hello, he WAS kind of a big deal  he's also probably most excited to see a certain Ethan Truebridge But we'll keep Levi in mind? And play? <3 Also, I went to look back at old yearbooks and a lot of the old ones don't work anymore? *eyes peeps in charge of yearbook*

Dani....you aren't uncool all the girls save Puck think Quigley's attractive...well honestly he IS....
*hopes KEVINQUIGLEY is too*....Puck just thinks she'd get into an allergic fit if she ever went near enough to him to 'flirt'...pfft.
and...and...and...someone is probably going to purposefully try and get detention with him in the future just to be alone in the room with him...like Rae Skye did with Professor chaud Descoteaux.
Puck: "Sorry Professor I'm allergic to you" *sighs*

Puck: "Sorry Professor I'm allergic to you" *sighs* He doesn't have fur or smell like a cat when he's a man so she'd only be allergic when he goes black cat
and omggggggg I wish I had a charrie that did that!! I mean, we half tried with Vinteren but he chose to have detention with LOTTIE instead of Lex. Talk about a slap to the face man  Nevermind that Knox picked first and chose Lex
