![]() credit to alwaysatrology.com ![]() ![]() By Wow, term XXX has just flown by for Animagus, but things aren't quite slowing down just yet. Be sure to get in on the last of the action and earn some points/make some friends before the term ends! + December's Second Activity: Covered in Snow is as simple as 1, 2... 10 snowballs! Just place 10 markers on the picture to try and find the 10 hidden Animagi. There are up to 30 points/15 knuts (+5pts/2kts bonus for registered animagi) up for grabs for this easy activity. This ends on December 30th, 11:59pm UTC, so don't miss out! + Be sure to check out this month's Social Post: Animagus Match to discuss who would have your same animagus. + Please PLEASE check out the Animagus Participation post to make sure that you won't lose your form at the end of the month. If you missed December voting, then you have to participate in Covered in Snow. We would hate to see anyone leave the Wilderness so be sure to participate! Don't forget to complete activities and vote to win badges! There are new ones added for every activity and they are irresistible. Check them out in the Trophy Cabinet over here. It's not required to have your own animagus form to participate in any of the Wilderness activities, but there are always bonus points to be had. If you haven't participated in a while, you might want to check HERE to make sure that you are still registered, and if you have been taken off the list but want to reclaim your animal, just go HERE. If for some reason you no longer feel connected to your form (and have had it for six months or more), then you can submit an essay stating why in order to be able to apply for a new form; once you're approved, you can submit a new application anytime. Speaking of applications, anyone interested in becoming a registered animagus need only fill out their application (you have to have The Standard Book of Spells Vol 1-3 from Flourish and Blotts too, but that's easy stuff). ![]() ![]() Elf Labor Wage Strike in the Works? Word has it that a certain bushy-haired activist has gotten word that there are severe labor violations going on against house elves in the North Pole, and she is currently organizing some kind of massive action within the very halls of Hogwarts itself! Why she thinks this is any of her concern is, frankly, beyond us, but maybe her best friend isn't the only one who has a savior complex... Thieves in the Night Rumor has it that the house elves at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have developed a sweet tooth. Every night, the kitchens are stalked with treats, and every morning there are only crumbs left. The house elves have been accusing the Hufflepuffs, but the Puffs adamantly deny the charges. Severus Snape displays Jazz Hands I could be wrong, but I heard music coming out of the dungeons. It is not unusual for dark anthems to be playing, but this was definitely more of a Muggle showtune. I peeked around the corner, and I know it had to be someone polyjuiced as Severus Snape because he would not be using Jazz Hands and dancing on top of the tables! Got gossip? Tell us here! |
![]() ![]() By Hello Flourish visitors, I hope you all survived the holidays so you can get ready for whatever traditions you might have for New Year's (lots of eating and fireworks for example^^). + The Emmy winning tv show theme has ended, but make sure you sign up for a technical category here so you can get those themed tags points in January. + Superlatives are here! If you haven't yet, make sure to vote till Tuesday 11:59pm UTC HERE. + In case you missed it the last time, you can find the deliveries from last Hogsmeade HERE. Go have a look, maybe somebody got you a little something ;) + Since the end of the term is here, we have to say goodbye to an era. Nikki/ + There is always room for more shops, so if you are interested in having a shop just apply over here. We have room for 1 Gryffindor, 2 Hufflepuff, 4 Ravenclaw and 5 Slytherin shops!
