New/Updated Plots!
Personal Plots!
CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: Andromeda Gamp
Andromeda Gamp is played by none other than Milly. This auror is determined, resilient, and always ready for an adventure. She cares deeply about her family and close friends. Although she and Cepheus may have the worst parents ever, nobody can deny that she is, quite frankly, morally superior to them. With her loud and strong personality, Andie will definitely share her opinion whether or not you asked for it.
She has a sharp tongue and a dry wit that can come off as intimidating to some, but fun to others. Keenly observant and undeniably persistent, Andie has become a strong force among aurors, and has built up quite the strong reputation for herself. Andromeda has been actively involved in
Stick Your Neck Out as well as
Mischief Unmanaged.
"Andie's scary but I think I'm a little into that. Or a lot into that." --JJ Bassir
"She seems very much at home in a pub full of vampires."--Tristain Valliancourt
"She's quirky and fun. Little less cranky than some of the older aurors." --Migs Nagde
"She's passionate in that kind of deadpan, terrifying way." --Adon Eleor
FEATURED: End of an Era
Our legendary seventh years will be graduating from Hogwarts this June! But what is next for these brave souls??
Before we get too excited however, there's one final game to decide the
Quidditch House Cup. And let's not forget that the clock is ticking on
Seventh Year Bucket List Challenge if you still have a trick or two left up your sleeves!
It's not all fun and games - we can't overlook this year's examinations! Join Michael's
Hogwarts Exams 2011 discussion to help decide how they are written and graded! Get those O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s! And to rest up afterwards.... how about a
Hogwarts Summer Trip?
With summer on the horizon, both graduating Seventh Years and Ministry employees will finally get to know one another at a
Ministry of Magic Mixer currently in the works! If one of your students is planning on working at the Ministry, this is a great opportunity to introduce them to Adult!Life - working
and social. Alternatively, feel free to join events as an MoM employee welcoming fresh meat!
Still not sure what your student wants to do after school? Take a look at the
Hogwarts Career Fair 2011 or
check out what your peers will be up to!
