I much prefer to live in the moment. *wizard shades*

Oooo thanks I am quite proud of my nerdiness and geekawesomeness. So sweet of you to say!

As you should be. Nerd is a term of endearment.

To be honest, I'm not nearly as rad as I pretend to be, these sunglasses don't even block out sunlight.

Divination sounds like the most useful of the bunch. It might give us good news. Worst case scenario it tells us when we're going to die and I'm the type that would rather know anyway. :P

I chose Astronomy.

I hope nobody forgot their wands.

History of Magic.

I voted the wrong one. I am, apparently, not the the sharpest tack in the box. Sorry hosts. If my vote can go for history of magic, that would be great. I understand if it remains the one I voted for.

I can send your plenty of pms, if you know what I mean.

Oh geez, Lizzie, A Person, please see your pms!

... Once in the castle, the students all made their way through the torch lit Entrance Hall, which echoed with their footsteps, past the marble staircase and then straight to the Great Hall where they still took a moment to marvel at the enchanted ceiling. They took their usual seats at the four long house tables, while the exchange students sat in the doorway looking uncertain as to where they should sit. This did not last long for the now Hogwarts residents waved frantically from all four tables making the newcomers feel more at ease in joining them, whilst still glancing at the floating candles reflecting in the starry dark ceiling.

After following the Sorting Ceremony with expressions of interest, the new students started to pick up the golden plates, goblets and the pieces of cutlery examining them, both impressed and starving, before being interrupted by the ringing voice of the Headmaster who has risen to greet them all before the start of the feast.

“To our newcomers - welcome! said Professor Dumbledore widely stretching his arms.’ And to our old hands, welcome back! First years and exchange students ought to know that the Forest on the School grounds is out-of-bounds. Mr. Filch, our caretaker, has asked me to remind you that the use of magic is prohibited on the corridors between classes, as well as a list of other things which can be found fastened to Mr. Filch’s office door. Those who wish to play Quidditch for their house teams, please contact your Heads of House as usual.

And now, as everybody in this Hall knows, Lord Voldemort and his followers have returned and are growing more powerful as we speak.”

The students sunk into silence, and before the Headmaster could speak again, terror took over the Great Hall.

It is now Day 1. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

Those are some super pretty candles.

That was a bit rude. "Welcome to Hogwarts, it's going to be a fantastic year! Remember, the Forbidden Forest is forbidden, and no magic in the corridors! Also, the man who murdered thousands of people and was until recently believed to be dead, is now forming an army to enslave the rest of the world! Enjoy the feast!"

Well we're off to a Good start.

I am so excited! I always wanted to go to Hogwarts!

NO WAY this year anyone's gonna die, and it's gonna be totally awesome!

I accuse Mary of being an evil sweater-stealing, tattletale, ugly, jealous hag. Good witches don't go snooping through other witches rooms and reading their diaries.

You "borrowed" my hairbrush a week ago, and you still haven't given it back! I had to take matters into my own hands!

That's so not just yours. I bought it. Mother made me buy it for you for your birthday. That makes it at least half mine. You're always so selfish.

Oh my gosh, so much drama. Can't we all just get along?

Can't you just buy a new hairbrush and a new sweater, then you'll each have one of both?

Or just use some kind of sweater summoning spell?

!!!!Murder is not welcome in a school environment!!!!

*opens bag*

So, I managed to filch some food from the banquet. Who wants a few cakes for a snack?

Filch? Is he around here? What about Mrs. Norris?

Anne Redferne wrote:Can't you just buy a new hairbrush and a new sweater, then you'll each have one of both?

HUH! Clearly buying something doesn't make it yours to some people.

As soon as Jennet and Anne discuss murder, Katharina wants us to eat mysterious food from her sack. How do we know it's not poisoned?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!

Malin Matsdotter wrote:Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!

Throwing around the "p" word all willy nilly, eh? Pretty suspect if you ask me.

I agree with the tea maker, though I am a coffee woman myself , let's just try and get along. We have an enemy - more than one methinks - to find.

Great post Prof Lizzy!

Although it is early there are a few posts that caused my eyebrow to arch but I want to see how this day plays out.

*eats a cake*

I see what happens when one tries to share things. Sharing is caring after all.

Hmm well if they're good enough for Katharina to eat then I don't think they're poisoned. *nom noms on a filched cake*

History tells us that this day will probably play out with randomization Which posts pinged you? There hasn't really been any on-topic discussion yet.

Someone has never seen The Princess Bride, I see. :P

Ha. I knew it was a matter of time before you lot started up with the wand double entendres.

What happens when you Find+Replace "wand" with "wang" in the Harry Potter books?

Everybody wand chung tonight.

I'm curious about this myself, when every post is offtopic Harry Potter jokes, what has pinged you?

I think it's weird for her to have posted that she was pinged when there was nothing much on topic posted, but I am also not sure I want to lynch the first person trying to get the discussion on topic. On one hand, she could be legitimately trying to get discussion going, but the other option is she was trying to post on topic without committing to any actual suspicions. I'm looking forward to hearing these pings first

Well, I don't think anyone has suggested lynching her.

Someone has to be lynched and she would be the only one discussed at this point now. People have been lynched for less...

Name five.

fwiw - I think she was playing Wesley in this post and her one before it.

I could be wrong, but I'm seeing it as a post to start generating discussion. Doesn't mean she's civ or mafia, just means she was WIFOM starting discussion.

I want to hear her "pings" before passing judgement on her.
