Xavier is a 7th year Slytherin pureblood from a wealthy family. After graduation, he stands to inherit a ridiculously huge sum of money and the Tawse estate. Throughout his years at Hogwarts, he has cultivated quite a reputation as a darkly handsome, yet listless bad boy. Xavier has never been one to shy away from fun, particularly with his totally-platonic kissing buddy, Eli. He has been known to toy with the heart of an innocent badger, Ayla Collins. His real background is more mysterious than it seems-- he has recently revealed two of his deepest secrets to Jordyn Dimbleby.

1. He is a virgin
2. His famous brogue is in fact, fake.

Recently, he and Jordyn have grown closer, exchanging witty remarks and sly looks. Could he be the one to thaw her icy heart?

While we're on the subject of students and the future - it looks a bit like our seventh years are having trouble facing theirs! A lovely shout out to the recent events that these soon-to-be adults have taken on. From overwhelming bonfires to scandalous reveals, it looks like there is no shortage of fuel for the famous (dare we say infamous) Seventh Year Bucket List Challenge.

If your seventh year needs to start racking up points for the list (and losing points for their house), Senior Switch Day could provide the opportunity for them to disguise themselves as a staff member!

Finally a chance for the grown-ups of the wizarding world to mix, mingle, and recruit from Hogwarts' crazy pool of potential. A few open threads have already begun - join in or start your own! With graduation and examinations on the horizon, now is the chance for students to start trying on different hats for their future.

Interested in joining?

• Information about the fair and its attendees can be found here: link
• You can sign up to have a booth/stall in the plotting thread here: link
• The career fair has its own special board, for threads occurring in the courtyard and Great Hall: link

Alberic Grimm's experiments have progressed; he paid Josephine St. Just for a Canopic jar. With it, he has managed to temporarily capture the soul of his nephew, the ridiculous yet charismatic Adon Eleor. The symptoms have eerily mirrored those of a partial/failed dementor's kiss, and as far as he and those close to him know, that is what is causing his amnesia. According to Healer Flynn Hughes, the prognosis is not promising. However, the auror has slowly but steadily begun to claim parts of himself and his life back.

• [March 5] Unpacking
  Time: Afternoon
  Location: Herbology Professor's Office, near the Greenhouses
  Thread Summary: Professor Prewett is unpacking and has found out that his brother decided to have a laugh and hex his trunk so he now has to unpack by hand as all charms are interfered with.

• [March 18] We Want the Young Blood
  Time: Near midnight
  Location: Level 10, the temporary cells at the DMLE
  Thread Summary:  Odette is a silly vampire who was in the wrong place at the wrong time... yet again! She's been pulled in for questioning in relation to a crime that was either committed by another vampire or someone looking to frame one.
  Who can join? Anyone! Ministry officials, especially. I imagine Odette looked highly suspicious (because she's naive and covered in mud), so if your character tossed her in the cell, they probably had good reason at time. If an NPC auror did it and left her there, maybe they're just a jerk who hates vamps!

Looking for that British and Irish Quidditch League that your characters are listening to?  Want to know what common fouls were committed and by what team?  Number of turnovers and goals?  Look no further than the wiki.

2010-2011 British and Irish Quidditch League Schedule and Standings, along with every match (pseudo-)played out.

And congratulations are in order for the Tutshill Tornados who won the 2010-2011 League Cup, despite losing their last match against the Caerphilly Catapults.  And the Chudley Cannons managed to meet expectations and grace the bottom of the League standings for yet another year.
