Welcome to Gaia! ::

5/31/16 - Keep yer hats on!!


Due to the last minute changes in the removal of certain electives and classes, Art and Mythology will continue to use their normal LoK. And have been granted an extension to alter their lessons by the 2034-2035 school year. Then it will be updated to reflect both the magical and muggle aspects of their respective subjects. Defense Against the Dark Arts LoK will also undergo a small change next year, as to not have the Lumos spell taught to first years in both Charms and DADA.

If you're unsure of what classes were removed and why, then please read this thread about the Class Elective Changes

Be sure to show your support and join in the Quidditch Stands to watch the upcoming game between Gryffindor and Slytherin!

And don't forget to check out the Clubs to see if your character might be interested in joining--or even creating--one!

07/27/16 - Rollin' rollin' rollin'...


Students! The lesson plan for the following classes have been changed, please update your new List of Knowledge for: Art, Mythology.

Third years and up! If you have not already sent in your Class Electives please do so now! The Class List has been updated; to request a reminder of a character's previous electives, PM Essy ze Ninja.

No running now! The train has just arrived at Hogsmeade Station, feel free to post your students if they have been marked Pending/Accepted.

First years! You must be marked Pending before you can post! If you don't have a student yet, and wish to be in this school year, they must be created and marked pending before the sorting ends. If you join the guild after the 31st, you will be enrolled in the November-December school year instead.

* Due to major derpage, the actual class list has been edited into this post instead of the regular announcement. Thank you for avoiding dragging out the torches and pitchforks and we appreciate your patience in dealing with the derpiest captain ever. *

8/9/16 Well, that was fast!


Welcome to the beginning of a new year!

Professors, your classrooms open tomorrow, August 10th, due to the Sorting ending on Sunday. Keep in mind that most classes are scheduled to update on Saturdays. If you wish to request a different day, PM Essy ze Ninja.

Second Years and Up, if you haven't already updated your characters, please do so! Removal of characters not updated to the Whomping Willow has been postponed due to busy schedules, however, they will occur by the 15th. Failure to update still results in removal to the Whomping Willow. To retrieve your character after the 15th, please PM Utsuha Moon or Diamond Wales after you've updated them.

First years, please update your profile to reflect your sorting. Do NOT change your "Pending" status to that of "Accepted." To notify the Student Profile Manager that the house has been added, simply add "House Added" next to your pending status. For example:
"John Smith ~ Pending *House Added*"

Failure to add the house before August 15th, 10 AM EST will result in the removal of the profile to the Whomping Willow. If you wish to retrieve your character you may PM Utsuha Moon or Diamond Wales.

Quidditch Try Outs are open! All students are encouraged to try out!

And last but not least, check out the Marauders Map to soak up the rumors of Hogwarts!

10/26/16 - Time Flies By So Fast!

The Class List has been updated; remember, the old elective list will now be saved on a separate page inside of the Official Class List located under the "Last Year's Class List" tab found at the bottom of the page. This way, it can be used as reference by all members at any time.

11/07/2016 - Get To Know Your Guildmates!

Hey, Newbies! Did you know the guild has a chatroom? Because it does!

Our Guild Chat is where members can talk to each other, get to know each other, and plot fun roleplay drama with each other. We encourage all members to come hang out with us. Plotting out scenes and getting immersed in the guild is much easier and more fun when you're doing it in real time with the whole group. Plus, most of the veteran members and moderators hang out there regularly, meaning you can get quick answers to any questions.

Before entering, please read the chatroom rules here, and here, and some important notes about the guild here.

12/16/2016p - I DON'T LIKE CHANGE

Heads up, everyone, there's been a pretty major overhaul of the Hogsmeade Profiles subforum. There's a thread with a basic explanation of everything that happened posted here, you can feel free to direct any questions not answered either there or in the updated Shop Owner Basics and Information thread at Cara MiaKitty.

Please note that everyone who didn't post in the thread regarding the profile sweep, or otherwise contact Cara MiaKitty about their profiles, has had their profiles moved to the Whomping Willow. All shops associated with these profile threads have also been removed. If there has been an error, contact Cara MiaKitty to see about getting them re-established.

All that said, Hogsmeade is now seriously lacking in PC-run shops! Please make shop owners and employees! You know you want to!

I tried being reasonable. Didn't take to it.

4/4/17 – 1001 Nights


Time to choose your class electives! The 2036-2037 Class List will soon be copied to a new "Tab" to be used for future reference.

Currently Accepted students. This is really important. Please update for the new year, and change the number in your title "~ Accepted (#)" to your current year, as well as the appropriate sections within your profile before noon EST April 25th. If you do not update, the Student Profile Manager will assume inactivity and move the profile to the Whomping Willow. (Cara MiaKitty is now currently the Student Manager, if you failed to update and wish to retrieve your profile from the Whomping Willow, PM Cara MiaKitty)

Note that if your student is an entering first year whose title is "Pending", you don't need to do anything. But you can pop over to our Ministry of Magic guild to go school shopping in Diagon Alley!
