Simple Charms

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Quiet
Who: Bernadine Ford, Steven Suzuki
What: Bernadine goes to the library to research when she thinks she might have actually cast some magic. Steven snoops.
When/Where: Friday, March 9th. Mullholland Hall.
Rating: SFW


The first time she cast a spell it was something of a fluke.

It was lumos and she thought for a good long while it was just something all wands did; in her mind any old muggle could pick up a wand and make it glow if they thought about it hard enough. It had to be a built in thing. She'd have to ask Pepper if her research turned up fruitless; she wasn't going to bug her cousin when Dresden Academy had a very impressive library.

She wasn't nearly as excited as she should have been, maybe a bit jittery. If she could actually cast... Well, it would change a lot of things. )

Texts From Over Break

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Dresden winter
Just to keep it streamlined, here's a post for texting that happened over Mid-winter break.

Be sure to put in the subject line who the text is to and from and if you want include the time.

And remember: texts have a maximum of 160 characters.

ENJOY!

I was a bad monkey and forgot to do this. Pretty sure there were some party fallout texts and other such nonsense.

The Party to End All Parties

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Smiles
Who: EVERYONE
When: Monday, February 22nd
Where: Castle Ford, Lake Luzerne, NY
What: Cinna throws a birthday party for Bernadine and Abby. CHAOS ENSUES.
Rating: Let's just say probably NSFW


Cinna tried hard to keep secrets, she really did. But somehow, through someone, her super secret surprise birthday party for Abernathy had become known, and people from all corners were asking questions about it-- when was it, where was it, what should they bring, if they could bring a friend... before she knew it, word of a giant bender she was organizing over holiday had gotten out, and everyone in the school seemed to think they were invited. She was pretty sure some of them didn't even realize this was specifically for Abby's birthday.

She gave up on her awesome idea of a small, cozy bash and informed her best friend (actually Bernadine, as she had still not figured this out) with a rather sheepish face that she was maybe possibly accidentally hosting a giant party... at Abby's house. On her birthday. And that everyone was coming. Everyone.

Somehow, Bernadine convinced Abernathy that this wouldn't be such a disaster. )

Valentine's Day Owling Booths

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
npc: owl
Early in the morning of Valentine's Day, before the students roused, owling booths were set up in the main corridors of Maple and Oak Halls as well as outside the student dorms. There, students could purchase candygrams from Apple’s Sweets or roses from the Herbology labs, which were then sent anonymously or with a signed note to crushes and loved ones. Purchases are only available to be made between class or on breaks, but will be delivered throughout the day.

Winter Social - Friday, December 9th (open to all)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Dresden winter
The events committee pulled off a rather impressive decorating scheme given their limited budget this year. Old silver and blue candles lit every alcove, sparkled above students heads as the floated around the ceiling. A spell created snow that fell among the candles and dissipated just as it reached the shoulders of the students partying below.

Recycled ribbons and streamers in a wintery palette draped on the walls, off the back of chairs and the small stage that graced the far end of the ballroom. Tables were draped with cloths in various shades of icy blue, some silver, some pristine white (at least until the students managed to spill their beverages).

Music hummed in the corner as a local cover band warmed up their instruments. The usual spot for photographs was set up just inside the doors. Professors wandered around the periphery, making sure the students were on their best behavior, though as these things usually ended up, the students were a lot better at misbehaving than their professors were at stopping them.

Subject: Quidditch Team Names

Dear students and faculty,

I think it's time we shed our Quidditch team monikers of A and B. Frankly I'm sick of being called Team B. As president of the student government, I propose that we give our teams proper names.

I will be accepting nominations for team names this week and will choose only appropriate suggestions to vote on. Feel free to email me with as many ideas as you might have.

Thank you,
Veronica Cantrell
Student Government President

Scheduling for Next Year (open to 3rd years through university students)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Nathaniel Dawkins
Upperclassmen had been sent home with pamphlets over spring break to think about their options for the next semester. Third year students could pick up an elective for their freshmen year, fourth years could pick up two electives as sophomores; those meetings tended to go the quickest. It was the meetings with fifth years and beyond that tended to take up the full 15 minutes alloted to them.

These students had to receive recommendations to take advanced classes, or opt to take electives. Last year Nathaniel Dawkins had tried to talk everyone out of taking magical crafting, if only because that class filled up so fast they had to open another section of it. He had their files arranged already; all the students signed up for time slots earlier in the week. Professors had already sent Dawkin's their recommendations; those had been read and placed among their academic transcripts.

The university students were another group altogether. They had to select a mentor and core focus for their fall semester and if they could look ahead and think about what they wanted in the spring as well. They'd need additional meetings later in the semester with their chosen mentor; thankfully that was out of Dawkin's hands.

Students would be wandering in and out of classes for their fifteen minute blocks, but this was the standard practice for this time of year. Dr. Dawkins was ready, about as ready as he ever was.
