Dresden Academy

Good news Quidditch Fans:
Dresden Academy won over Los Alamos. That's right ladies and gentleman, Dresden is heading to the quarter finals of the Quidditch Nationals! Maybe it was the home crowd, or maybe it was the impressive teamwork of our very own Herons, but the team clenched it and we're on to the semi-finals facing either Blue Ridge or Pacific Coast (depending on who wins their match up). It's a bit of a wait folks, until March 31st, but I'm sure we'll continue the proud support of our team until then.

Over at the Prairie School, another exciting match was underway. They faced off against Del Sol in the other quarter final match up. And despite the home field advantage, Del Sol took Prairie in overtime.

Who: Luka, Arnaud, Anastas
What: Luka's birthday is horrible. He accidentally kisses his roommate and then runs off for a smoke and chats with Stas.
Where/When: His dorm room; the older kids' smoking hangout on campus. Backdated to March 15th.

What compelled him to do it, looking back even an hour later he couldn't say. He'd shaken Pickle, which... What the fuck Adelaide? He had no idea what sending her owl to spend his birthday with him was all about. Sure he got attention all day long from all the girls because Pickle couldn't help being adorable, but it was a distraction.

( Finally he managed to shut himself in his room with Arnaud, found the bottle of liquor Thorn left for him and started to drink in earnest. )

Tim sent Addy a four-leaf clover locket for St. Patrick's Day. It took him a while to find a clever enough owl to send it too.

Who: Professors Morse, Rosenthal, Olivier, Montgomery, Walsh, and Dr. Dawkins and Mother Criss
What: Morse and Criss hatch an idea for a summer program for university students. They rope the other uni profs along and stumble onto the idea that maybe they need to have a school wide assembly addressing certain, recent batshit behavior.
Where/When: A boardroom in Dresden Hall. Friday March 16th.

Pete Rosenthal had no idea what he was doing sitting in this stuffy boardroom, assembled with the university professors as if he was one of them. He had in fact started the whole thing, but for the most part since Pepper's graduation he had nothing to do with it. "Technically," Morse argued over the phone earlier in the afternoon, "you are one of us."

( He missed his initiation, but it happened right about the time that Hawthorne Nikitin had stumbled out of favor with Gerard Best and became his TA. )

Who: Irene Hulett and the shadowy Board of Governors
What: Irene starts planting the seeds to get her sister sacked.
Where/When: A secret boardroom off campus. Sunday March 18th.

Irene smirked at the circle of shareholders seated among the board of governors. Dresden Academy's finest, the grand and mysterious board that operated outside of Jillian Hulett's reach.

"Ladies, gentlewizards, I've assembled you here today to discuss the recent function of the Academy."

( Now that she had their attention, she listed off the myriad of ways that Jillian had failed Dresden. )

Dear Students,

In light of recent behavior on and off campus there will be a MANDATORY assembly to discuss our school code of conduct in the Grand Ballroom on Monday directly after tenth period. Attendance will be taken, any absences will result in detention for the rest of the school year.

I respect that you will take this seriously, arrive on time, and match your behavior to the standards I have come to expect of Dresden Academy.

Thank you,
Jillian Hulett
Headmistress
