Great info on that link, Lee-o!! Ariel, I thought all classes were mixed houses? I don't remember any of the class scenes in the movies being of only one house? Been too long since I've read the books so I don't know if that's something mentioned there.

Great link! I'm also cool with Potions, Transfiguration and Charms for the 6th years. Definitely want Morgana in Divination as an elective, she's going to rock it Looks like in 6th year we get to dabble in non verbal magic which is cool, I remember reading about that class in one of the books (half blood prince I think it was). And Heidi I'm not sure either but I was just following the schedule Amelia had set in place

The movies are not accurate to the books regarding classes. In the books, typically it was one house per class except in a few rare cases where it was two houses (usually Gryffindor and Slytherin/Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff). I figured things might have changed in the twenty years since and mixed it up a little more.
Also please note that not all Sixth and Seventh years are in every class. They had to have passed their O.W.L.S. to upgrade to the N.E.W.T. level classes and even after that, they then choose what subjects they wish to continue in. O's are always allowed to progress to N.E.W.T. level, E's usually do but it is at the discretion of the teacher (Snape typically did not allow them into his N.E.W.T. Potions class but did allow them in his N.E.W.T. DADA class). A's rarely do but, again, it is up to the professor.
Passing O.L.W.S. grades
Outstanding [O] (always continues to N.E.W.T.-level) Exceeds Expectations [E] (usually continues to N.E.W.T.-level) Acceptable (rarely continues to N.E.W.T.-level)
Failing grades Poor (may request to repeat the class) Dreadful [D] Troll [T]
According to HP wiki: It is unknown what the limit is for how many subjects the pupil may take at N.E.W.T. level. Hermione Granger was granted seven, while Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley each picked five.

I say we mostly go with the basic set stuff that Amelia found and not overthink it too much. After all, I don't think we'll have our characters RPing much in actual class simply because during class, it's usually just lectures or perhaps the group project here and there. Only the ones that have group projects might be fun to play out. Just like in the movies and books, they didn't show much class time. Other than that, probably best to make our game play occur during non-class times; breaks between, meal times, nights, weekends. Oh, and if we happen to chose something in our schedule that we find out later isn't how it was done, we can simply say that it's been 20 years and things have changed in that time.

Hey james make sure you post in the 'RPG Whose turn? ALL RPGers MUST KEEP UP WITH THIS! ' Thread and tag some players so everyone knows Hagrid posted. Once that is done, if you can delete the part of your post that says 'Open to anyone in the courtyard.' Won't need that once you post in the whose turn

I think we can probably end the Marius/Gwen/Anya scene at any time. Kevin would just have to let me and Amelia know what Anya and Gwen were instructed to do so we know where to start them. Did Gwen go to her classes and will meet up with Anya after classes are over for tutoring or is Marius pulling her from her classes for the day?

No offense to Anya but Gwen would be DEVASTATED to miss her first day of classes . But it is up to the headmaster!

Post by Hollywood Heidi on May 14, 2017 2:05:16 GMT -8
No, I totally understand! The first day is important. I'm guessing Marius will send her on her way and perhaps Marius will spend the day with Anya, perhaps doing some heavy duty catching up on their world so she doesn't sound so without a clue. He did tell everyone that he was her uncle so perhaps he'd even coach her a bit on how to answer the curious questions of the other students and also, help make to make it look like she's not completely clueless about the magical world! I was almost wondering if the last thing Anya said would have been considered worrisome or not to Marius since she basically said in front of Gwen that she has no idea what kind of classes there are.

Nope Marius wont pull gwen from her classes lol It would be an after thing, but will probably give her and gwen similar schedules after the first day. Because he will be with her for a while on our current one. especially since she still needs a wand. he can't get that for her. :-) it needs to choose

I think we're at a good place to time jump to classes. Seems like Marius, Gwen, and Anya pretty much have established what their roles will be. What does everyone think?

Also open to skipping lunch!! Scorpius and Callum could probably run into their father at some point during the lunch period, since they'll all be in the same general area, what do you think Ilona? Would also love for Draco to have a run in with "Benjamin Boyle" at some point DarkSideCookie

I was waiting to see what time people wanna skip to. Lunch time? Mostly was waiting for Amelia and Kevin since we were kinda in a scene but I think they're good to go for a time jump.
Alrighty, jump to lunchtime it is then since those who responded seemed to be in favor!

By request, I've added the House and year to each alter for students. Since we're using up Alter space fast and need to mind the amount of characters we use (as in text letters, numbers, etc., not player characters) I've used a very abbreviated form that's easy to follow.
Under the character name, you'll see a the first letter of the House followed by their year.

In regards to Draco and Anya's entrance to the Great Hall, we were talking a while ago about Draco running into Callum and introducing him to Anya, possibly having Callum show her around/make friends with her? Did we want to play this out on Callum's way out of the Great Hall? Also I had a thought, I was thinking that Draco could pull Callum aside privately before he goes off with Anya to address the Scorpius situation and how Draco may have run into an upset Scorpius on the way with Anya. Would be fun to subject them to a little bit of a heated father/son moment, what do you think Ilona? Hollywood Heidi DarkSideCookie

Also, Morgana and Ash are in the great hall for lunch, they're both not doing a whole lot right now so if anyone has any characters that need to post or anything to suggest I am open to ideas!

I'm totally cool with the Callum/Anya idea!
As for Anya, as soon as Draco releases her, she can talk to whoever needs someone to talk to until Callum is sent back to follow his father's instructions!

I love the ideas!! Let's do that after Callum/Darleena interaction in the Great Hall. Snape is free, but I doubt this helps XD

Hey guys! I'm kinda feeling like our plots in HP have gotten a little bit mundane and unfocused lately. Like a lot of us are really just filling time until we can reach our next important moments. I mean, for example, I know that most of Gwen's major plots aren't going to kick off until the events of the Tri-Wiz begin (since we lost both Jake and Drew). Maybe if we restrict our posts by day rather than exact time period and include further time jumps between depending on what everyone's needs are (like jumping a week instead of to the next day if the interactions of that week aren't really important to play out)? I'm not sure how that would work or if it would. Just trying to think of ways to breathe some life back into what's going on and push things forward a bit more quickly.

I'm cool with making little time jumps, I feel like it would actually help me make some advancements for oliver especially because I have to write jacob out of the story sadly and I don't want to temp him in my own posts. I already set the stage for it with my most recent post in the great hall but we'll see where that goes.

I'm fine with that also. I just need to establish Marius' plans for Anya's curricular and perhaps any ground rules he may want to set or stories, etc. I'm sure there's something that needs to be worked out since he's proclaimed she's his niece.
Other than that, I think time jumps work fine. We don't have to establish the relationships of all of our characters with each other right on the first days. There are so many students that it's okay if some don't seem to officially meet until later in the school year.

I'm also fine with making time jumps, as long as it will be synchronized with everyone. We were planning a plot between Anya/Draco/Scorpius/Callum, as long as Draco is around, which would take place at Day 1 I think.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Sept 3, 2017 18:02:24 GMT -8
That's right. I think the Draco/Callum scene at least needs to be done before we do any time hopping. It's kinda important to the ongoing connection and motives involving a couple charaters that will be starting from day one.

Post by Storyteller on Sept 4, 2017 6:47:28 GMT -8
Alrighty, you guys let us know when you're ready and we'll make a jump. In the meanwhile, I need to get Lottie into a plot. There's going to be something between her and Callum eventually but she needs something else going for her and she has no real friends at the moment. Lee-o - I think she and Dray might get along since they're both musicians, do you want to try something there?
