I'm late already? 8:01 Weirdo Guy 8:01 Alyssa5582 Uhh 8:01 Melody6 Right in the knock of time! 8:01 Weirdo Guy XD jk jk 8:02 Melody6 8:02 Bond em7 Let's see...attendance all 4 bcrats are here Gruff is the only admin missing 8:02 Sonofapollo 8:02 Bryans1008 xD 8:02 Football444 Inactive. Told me he was on a wiki break. 8:03 Bond em7 Colin, Lissy, Lilly are the Rb's missing 8:03 Weirdo Guy I think Liss may be asleep 8:03 Bond em7 Yup, she talked to me last night 8:03 Weirdo Guy Not sure about Lilly and Col 8:03 Echostar So mostly everyone is here 8:03 Bond em7 I think they both said they wouldn't make it on the blog So, that's one good step...everyone is either here or let me know ahead of time. Meaing no demotions 8:04 Weirdo Guy Oh noes, Bondy is gonna demote me! 8:04 Bond em7 Alright, so let's get started 8:04 Echostar Actually, Colin and Lilly both said they'd be here Just checked 8:04 Sonofapollo lilly was on earlier too 8:04 LittleRedCrazyHood Maybe they got the time wrong? Time zones ARE confusing. 8:04 Echostar Wouldn't be surprised, it's very confusing 8:04 Peislandgal They may also just be late 8:04 Bond em7 So everyone knows, the Bcrats talked ahead of time and have nominated me to talk for all of us, which is why they're not saying much 8:05 Weirdo Guy Bond, NEVER use UTC ever again 8:05 Melody6 ^^ 8:05 Bond em7 That way all four of us won't be saying the same exact things over and over in different ways and confusing everyone 8:05 Echostar Sounds good 8:05 Alyssa5582 Understood 8:05 Bond em7 So, first topic up. As you guys know, the next expansion was announced and caused some issues as nobody was told it was coming, and not given any time for input That expansion really wasn't developed, so we decided to push it back so we make sure we do have time to get input and invlove all you and do things properly Sonofapollo has left Hogwarts. 8:07 Bond em7 So, that leaves us without aquickly upcoming event It's been noticed by many that the focus of our wiki has shifted from Hogwarts more to the Ministry and the adult world 8:08 Echostar 8:09 Bond em7 and while that's not wholly bad, multiple people have suggested that whatever we do next should be at Hogwarts so we shift the attention back there a bit 8:09 Bryans1008 Can I offer something? 8:09 Bond em7 So....I'm going to open the flooor here a bit and see. Does anyone have any ideas what sort of event we can put together at Hogwarts for this school year Sure Bryans, go ahead Sonofapollo has entered Hogwarts. 8:10 Bryans1008 Okay, so I know these have flopped before, but since we're entering the summer holidays maybe we could try a House Tournament. 8:10 LittleRedCrazyHood As long as we make sure none of the champions get inactive like the last times... 8:10 Bryans1008 And that way we can have our ball and such, plus the tasks. 8:10 Sonofapollo that was the main problem last tie time* 8:11 Bond em7 and that those running the events stay active and keep things moving too 8:11 Bryans1008 Right, that's why it's best to do it in the summer 8:11 Sonofapollo yeah, no distractions then 8:11 Echostar Most people have more time during summer 8:11 Bond em7 That's one idea. Does anyone have another idea so we can get them all out on the floor? 8:11 Weirdo Guy I 8:11 Bond em7 Because this really should get started in the next couple weeks if possible 8:11 Weirdo Guy I'd like to take the floor, Bondo 8:12 Football444 Events for holidays, Easter, Christmas, Halloween. Those kind of events? 8:12 Bond em7 WG 8:12 Jiskran Madeye Owled you about a students' bal, Bond. 8:12 Bond em7 I saw that, and I think it'll fit into whatever we do 8:12 Zanzan28 It was a nicely made owl Well thought out 8:12 Echostar In response to Foot, holiday events are difficult because of the way the school year is timed Melody6 has left Hogwarts. Melody6 has entered Hogwarts. 8:12 Echostar It could be summer ic and christmas ooc 8:12 Weirdo Guy Well, while we're working on the second expansion, I have an event that can be done in the meantime. It would involve Hogwarts 8:12 Football444 True, 8:13 Sonofapollo yeah @echo the only thing i can think of is easter which is tomorrow xD 8:13 Bond em7 Ok WG, you have the floor 8:13 Zanzan28 Whats your idea WG? 8:13 Echostar ^ 8:13 Bond em7 Please continue 8:14 Weirdo Guy I actually suggested this to Zan at one point. It's some sort of scavenger hunt. Some mysterious force in the castle wants students to retrieve certain relics and artifacts with the promise of great (and exclusive) rewards. 8:14 Bond em7 Interesting. 8:14 Alyssa5582 How would that work? 8:15 LittleRedCrazyHood Good or bad kind of mysterious force? 8:15 Bond em7 It would need to be an extended thing...not a 1-shot 8:15 Weirdo Guy Of course 8:15 Sonofapollo well, what about a school play? 8:15 Weirdo Guy @Red: Not sure, that's why it's just called at mysterious force 8:15 Bond em7 Ok, so that's a second idea. We can get more info on it in a bit if we need SoA, please explain that 8:15 Sonofapollo okay so i was thinking we could take one of the stories from beedle the bard and make it into a school play which we'd rp like how we do normally and we can hold auditions etc and all that jazz but it'd be like how bry does lisa's concerts except in school 8:16 Echostar I like that idea best so far 8:16 Bryans1008 Chicago reference 8:16 Bond em7 Do you think it would hold people 8:16 Bryans1008 -drama geek- 8:16 Bond em7 s interests? 8:16 Sonofapollo i reckon so 8:16 LittleRedCrazyHood I think it's a good idea, 'cause Dumbledore mentioned something like that about the Fountain of Fair Fortune. 8:17 Sonofapollo especially if we do more than one story 8:17 Bryans1008 It got mine 8:17 Sonofapollo more people can be casted and therefore, involved 8:17 Bond em7 Alright, that's idea #3. Any more? ,...and these are great ideas guys 8:17 Melody6 I think that could fit into Echo's story arch of "The first Wizarding Movie" 8:17 Echostar That's what I was just thinking 8:18 Bond em7 That's one reason I wanted everyone here...because you guys come up with things I never would 8:18 Weirdo Guy I think I may have a second idea to offer 8:18 Echostar People could watch it and extract memories And Teresa would put them together into the "movie" form 8:18 Melody6 And it would capture an important part of Wizarding history 8:18 Sonofapollo ^ esp with the tech advancement 8:18 Bond em7 alright WG, you have the floor 8:19 Weirdo Guy Alright then Perhaps we can have some sort of prank war between the Hogwarts Houses? 8:19 Sonofapollo omg no i can see hufflepuff being bullied 8:19 Echostar official or unofficial, as far as staff? 8:19 Weirdo Guy Most likely unofficial 8:20 Echostar then I see problems with it 8:20 Melody6 Prank wars could work, it'd get some of the groups into action 8:20 Weirdo Guy Sorry, just an idea 8:20 Melody6 But what about classes? 8:20 Football444 The prank group might need to play a part. 8:20 Echostar it's okay, we need all the ideas we can 8:20 Sonofapollo i think prank wars makes sense but i can see it getting a wee bit too serious 8:21 Bond em7 WG, I'm going to shoot that one down. Personally I like playing pranks....but making that official and such would split users who want to do it and those that don't ...and some teachers would have a cow 8:21 Sonofapollo coughmerwyn 8:21 Echostar okay, so what are the ideas so far? 8:21 LittleRedCrazyHood I'd love for a prank war, but I have to agree with Bond and SoA. 8:21 Bryans1008 xD 8:21 Echostar recap 8:21 Bond em7 Alright I'll recap Would have to begin soon, as users are beggting bored not having anything going on....we can't wait for summer to begin it 8:22 Melody6 My thoughts exactly 8:22 Bond em7 8:22 Bryans1008 I can add onto it, just for a sec to wrok out the timing issue 8:23 Bond em7 sure 8:23 Echostar So, any more ideas? 8:23 Bryans1008 So, I know this isn't canon, if we have our champions. Then we have a ball, then we begin with the challenges. That way the first one would begin closer to the holidys. 8:24 LittleRedCrazyHood Makes sense. 8:24 Sonofapollo ^ 8:24 Echostar As far as #1, I think that since we've done it before, it wouldn't be as effective this time Football444 has left Hogwarts. 8:24 Echostar I'd need more details before formulating an opinion of #2 Football444 has entered Hogwarts. 8:24 Melody6 Well, if we really want to include the school groups/pranking, they could mess up the final scene on the play, maybe turn it into a comedy? 8:24 Bond em7 Ok, WG can you expand a bit more on the scavenger hunt and how it would work? Audrajoye has entered Hogwarts. 8:25 Audrajoye HI 8:25 Bond em7 Hey AJ, I'm going to ask you to leave for a bit 8:25 LittleRedCrazyHood Sorry, Aj. We're having an admin meeting. 8:25 Audrajoye Oh yeah sorry 8:25 Weirdo Guy Well, I'll be honest, I haven't worked out alot of the details, but I'll try the best I can Audrajoye has left Hogwarts. 8:25 Sonofapollo i think with WG's idea its good but needs a lot of thinking time we need something quickly planned and implemented 8:25 Alyssa5582 Agreed 8:25 Sonofapollo so it would in theory work in the future 8:25 Bond em7 Let's see what he's got first 8:26 Weirdo Guy Well, it would start with a mysterious force making himself known at Hogwarts. Not too long students begin to discover this strange being He decides to take advantage of the students to retrieve his ancient relics. So he gives the students some riddles on where these things may be hidden and they gotta solve the riddles and find whatever he's after 8:28 Bryans1008 Thing is, what does he plan to do with the stolen relics and how does that effect Hogwarts and everything outside of it. 8:28 Melody6 Limmie guess, Shadow is the mysterouis force? 8:28 Weirdo Guy No, Shadow's not the mysterious force 8:28 Bryans1008 That's what I was thinking. 8:28 Sonofapollo omg my thoughts exactly 8:28 LittleRedCrazyHood I seriously thought it was gonna be Shadow. 8:29 Alyssa5582 Me too 8:29 Bond em7 Right...I think it's a good idea, it just needs to go through the Act Imp deptarement to get fleshed out 8:29 Sonofapollo well i have another idea? 8:29 Bond em7 ...but probably not for immediate implementation 8:29 Melody6 You say He though... and it sounds shadowly 8:29 Echostar So, an idea for the future, but not for right now? 8:29 Bond em7 right Echo So, SoA, you had another idea? 8:29 Sonofapollo yeah it's kinda like bry's but i think we can implement it faster if we had an intra school quidditch tournament 8:30 Bryans1008 oooh. 8:30 Melody6 I lime it... Like* xD 8:30 Sonofapollo with WADA, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Salem, Durmstrang and Mahoutokoro we've got six schools 8:30 Weirdo Guy WADA? 8:30 Sonofapollo wizarding academy of dramatic arts 8:30 Weirdo Guy Mahoutokoro? 8:30 Bryans1008 izarding Academy for DRamatic Arts 8:31 LittleRedCrazyHood Japanese Wizarding school, I think. 8:31 Sonofapollo ^ 8:31 Football444 It is. 8:31 Bryans1008 WADA rules! 8:31 Melody6 It might be hard to create all the templates of the for the other teams and find users for it 8:31 Weirdo Guy Potterhead 8:31 Sonofapollo the way i see it is a lot of people want to do quidditch but there are limited places 8:31 Echostar I think that since even more characters need to be made specifically for this event, it would be more difficult 8:32 Sonofapollo maybe not chars 8:32 Bond em7 Actually the Bcrats talked about doing some sort of international quidditch tourny, like a world cup in the future 8:32 Sonofapollo just word bubbles 8:32 Melody6 And the other schools don't have houses, so hogwarts would need to band together? 8:32 Bryans1008 I would love a World Cup. 8:32 Melody6 I'm not sure how that works 8:32 Bond em7 We thought people could sign up teams, and if they wanted just 2 rpers could rp a whole team Carolyn1659 has entered Hogwarts. 8:32 Sonofapollo @mel yeah 8:32 Bryans1008 Like a Hogwarts all-star team. 8:32 Weirdo Guy Carebear, you gotta leave chat Sorry 8:32 LittleRedCrazyHood Sorry Carolyn, we're having an admin meeting, so you're gonna have to leave! 8:32 Carolyn1659 Okay bye! 8:33 Sonofapollo @bry exactamundo 8:33 Melody6 8:33 Echostar My qualm with the Quidditch idea is that not a lot of existing characters would be involved 8:33 Jiskran Bye, Caroline. 8:33 Bond em7 So, how thiat would work is one person RPs the Seeker and Chaser, and the other person rps the beaters and keeper 8:33 Melody6 Yeah. But some chars will be excluded, and users muight not like that 8:33 Echostar ^ 8:33 Jiskran ICW members to caoch team? 8:33 LittleRedCrazyHood Exactly what I was thinking, Mel. 8:33 Jiskran Carolyn1659 has left Hogwarts. Football444 has left Hogwarts. 8:34 Weirdo Guy I don't think politicians are the best coaches 8:34 Echostar ^ 8:34 Sonofapollo @bond well with six teams we have enough teams for seven users per team cause it's only two more than the normal hogwarts team teams* 8:34 Melody6 Or we could double up the teams.. Football444 has entered Hogwarts. 8:34 Melody6 6 chasers, 4 beaters, 2 seekers, etc 8:34 Echostar What do you think, Peis? 8:34 Bond em7 Yeah, it doesn't use many current characters and some people might feel left out if they don't like or aren't ggod at quidditch 8:34 Bryans1008 2 seekers is confusing 8:34 Melody6 Might be hetic though... 8:35 Alyssa5582 I think its a good idea, but maytake awhile to get the characters sorted out 8:35 Bond em7 I think doubling it would cause issues...too many people 8:35 Melody6 Well I think the chars that have been playing the longest should get it, and then flip a coin for the rest 8:35 Peislandgal I'm a no to doubling. But I like the idea of just creating bubbles for a world cup, having a few users play them and having current characters watch 8:36 Sonofapollo ^ thats what i was trying to get at 8:36 Echostar so 8:37 Bond em7 Right 8:37 Alyssa5582 I have an idea. Not sure how well it will work 8:37 Bond em7 So, everyone pick one, and we Alyssa...I'm going to cut this off here, ok? 8:37 Alyssa5582 Ok. 8:37 Weirdo Guy Sorry, Lyss 8:38 Bond em7 So, everyone pick a number to vote for, and throw it up here in chat, which will be your vote 8:38 Melody6 Oh, one variation of the House Tournament would be to only have the Yule Ball. It'd be very quick and easy to do, and many people have made formal templates since Witch Weekly 8:38 Echostar 3 8:38 Football444 3 8:38 LittleRedCrazyHood 8:38 Jiskran 3 8:38 Sonofapollo three 8:38 Zanzan28 3 8:38 Bryans1008 3 8:38 Alyssa5582 3 8:39 Peislandgal 4 8:39 Melody6 On the fence between 3 and 4 8:39 Weirdo Guy I'm gonna go neutral. All of them are great ideas 8:39 Bryans1008 I like both, but Theatre is my life, so, yeah... 8:39 LittleRedCrazyHood ^ 8:39 Bond em7 Alright, that's everyone. So #3 wins 8:40 Sonofapollo yay! 8:40 Echostar Coolio  though you didn't vote, Bond 8:40 Zanzan28 All great ideas though guys, really. 8:40 Echostar ^ 8:40 Melody6 Can 4 be an idea for the future? I love Quiddich 8:40 Sonofapollo ^ 8:40 Bond em7 We'll throw that over to the Act Imp department to have a meeting and get set up in the next week or two 8:40 Peislandgal ^ Agreed! 8:40 Football444 Thanks for the ideas! 8:40 Echostar So, what's the next opic? 8:40 Bond em7 Ok, next up guys I get to preach at everyone for a couple minutes 8:41 Bryans1008 I think we should have a profession World Cup. Like alternate between Hogwarts and Out-of-Hogwats (OOH) events anyway, go ahead. 8:41 Bond em7 Basically the next part will be announcements 8:41 Melody6 We don't have many adult characters that play quiddich, though 8:41 Bond em7 these are important things that are changing, or that you guys should know So, first off...House Points this year will change a bit We're going to add a House Points box on the top of each Class page We're trying to make it easier for everyone You won't need to record who got the points or why....just have a total count of the points on the class pages Then we'll add up those totals for our hourglass 8:43 Sonofapollo but what if students edit it? 8:43 Bond em7 So, if you give points for anything...record them in your classroom Good question SoA....we'll be trusting they won't be editing it, and if we have an issue with a user doing that we'll deal with it then. I'll make sure to post something very clear about students not editing it 8:44 Echostar good idea i hadn't thought of that 8:44 Sonofapollo awesome, great cause theres always that one who cheats the system 8:44 Bond em7 So, whever you give points, even if it's not in the classroom, record it there ...and know that multiple teachers may be sharing a classroom so they'll be sharing this as well Jorey28 has entered Hogwarts. 8:45 Echostar if there is an issue, how will teachers remember how many points there were before the edit? 8:45 Zanzan28 Jorey we ask that you come back in about another hour Jorey28 has left Hogwarts. 8:45 Echostar should we post the points somewhere else as well, or go on trust? 8:45 Zanzan28 sorry bud 8:45 Jiskran Check the page history. 8:45 Bond em7 Page history and go on trust until we're given a reason not to 8:45 Echostar Good point, Jisk 8:46 Bond em7 Alright, next announcement Jisk had the brilliant idea of having the Heads of House work with their students to individualizetheir House space 8:47 Melody6 Make over? 8:47 Bond em7 so that the students get to know their Heads of House and each other 8:47 Jiskran 8:47 Sonofapollo ooooh thats a good idea! 8:47 Bond em7 and they have something to show for their work So, this will begin on week 2 of the semester (in 1 week approximately) 8:48 Echostar So all of the students would work with the Heads for a makeover? 8:48 Sonofapollo could they have those talks with the fifth years about choices and careers? like in the books 8:48 Bond em7 Bascially yes Echo. The Heads will authorize the changes as it was, and make sure nothing too extreme is done 8:48 Sonofapollo that'd be a good idea, non? 8:49 Bond em7 It is SoA...and I'll think about how to do that 8:49 Bryans1008 ooh, I'd like that. 8:49 Echostar Yes, that's important in canon 8:49 Sonofapollo if it's too much pressure on the heads 8:49 Bond em7 I'm looking forward to seeing what each House comes up with in this effort, so I want to make sure you all support it when it begins 8:49 Alyssa5582 So how would this work exactly? 8:49 Sonofapollo maybe we could share it out as teachers? so like each student gets a mentor 8:49 Bond em7 SoA Melody6 has left Hogwarts. 8:49 Sonofapollo yes? 8:49 Bond em7 great idea...but let's put it on the side for a minute ok 8:50 Sonofapollo oh okay 8:50 Peislandgal How would be individualizing our house space? Like our common rooms? 8:50 Weirdo Guy Who's the lucky student getting mentored by Amias? XD Melody6 has entered Hogwarts. 8:50 Bond em7 Common Rooms, dorms, Quidditch pages...anything with your house name on it 8:51 Peislandgal Okay Football444 has left Hogwarts. 8:51 Bond em7 Alright...next ancouncement 8:51 Melody6 I thought that was with the 7th ye ars, Soap 8:52 Bond em7 I'll be working with the Heads of Houses to try to arrange Career Meetings with their 5th Year and 7th Year Students 8:52 Echostar kind of like a guidance counselor system 8:52 Alyssa5582 I like that. 8:52 LittleRedCrazyHood This idea's a really good one. 8:52 Melody6 Would their be any meetings with the current 6th years? 8:53 Bond em7 Maybe Melody. Let me think about that one Next up.... Guys, please make sure that we keep chat and Rps respectful Football444 has entered Hogwarts. 8:55 Bond em7 Occasionally I'll see things in chat where things are said between Admins or to users that I don't feel are respectful OUr whole wiki basically revolves around all of us respecting each other, listening to each other, and being polity because it's all about words Lissyboo has entered Hogwarts. 8:56 LittleRedCrazyHood Lissy, you're late. 8:56 Jiskran Hi, Liss. 8:56 Melody6 Finally, someone slept in 8:56 LittleRedCrazyHood But, hi! And "Yay! You came!" 8:57 Bond em7 Also, if you have a problem with one of the Bcrats, please let that Bcrat know one on one. If the issue isn't solved, pull in myself to help 8:57 Lissyboo Nah. he knew I'd be late. Sorry I'm late 8:57 Zanzan28 Or if the issue is with Bond-any one of the others will do 8:57 Bond em7 This leads in to the next announcement, but as I'm head of the OOC Dept, it's my job to help solve issues between people on the wiki Right Zan, if you're issue is with me, and you let me know and it's not solved...pull in all of the other 3 if you need to set me straight Next announcement I've been asked by both the Heads of the Departments and department members to specifically write out department duties, etc, etc I gave it my best shot here: User:Bond_em7/Sandbox/Department_Rosponsibilities#Activity_Implementation it's already gone through a number of revisions, so if you see problems with anything in it, please let me know and we'll see what changes we can make Let me know privately or after the meeting 9:01 Echostar okay 9:01 Bond em7 Oh, one moe note on respect. Being an admin, that's your job. I know sometimes we all lose our cool, but being a leader, especially as most of our wiki is young, they take our lead and follow it. So, they see us on chat yelling at each other, they think that's ok. Just keep in mind that most of our wiki is fairly young Alright, next up Quidditch I want to change the format a bit this year so we have a round robin format...so there will be 6 total games, each house playing each other once, and the total amount of points scored will give the Quidditch Cup I'll be scoring the House points on my Class page. We've always had issues with how many House Points grabbing the snitch should be, because how how few to end to be scored. Any ideas on how many House Point a snitch catch should be worth? 9:03 Echostar We've discussed this idea before, and too many users had problems with it for the idea to be implemented. So I think that we should make sure most people are okay with it before making it a final descion 9:03 Melody6 The book says 150 points 9:04 Bryans1008 We should stick by canon 9:04 Lissyboo I like it has 150 points Football444 has left Hogwarts. 9:04 Sonofapollo ^ 9:04 Jiskran It's too many for the House Cup - Quidditch becomes all that matters. 9:04 Bond em7 150 Points towards winning the Quidditch Cup, sure...but if we give 150 House Points...whoever wins the Quidditch cUp Automatically wins the House Cup 9:04 Echostar I see 9:04 Melody6 Although if the snitch is worth soi much, why bother with the quaffle? 9:04 Sonofapollo then maybe we should increase points given on other places? 9:04 Lissyboo ^. 9:04 Bond em7 This year a snitch grab was worth 100 House Points 9:05 Echostar I believe McGonagall gave Gryffindor 50 points when they won against Slytherin 9:05 Alyssa5582 I would say for house points, between 50 and 70 9:05 Bryans1008 How about we only take half of Quidditch points and put it into House Cup and just run Quidditch Cup as we usually do 9:05 Lissyboo I say 50 9:05 Echostar So how about 30 points for a win, 50 points for winning the Quiddtich cup? 9:05 LittleRedCrazyHood That sounds good, Echo. 9:05 Alyssa5582 I like that 9:06 Lissyboo Mesa likes it too Football444 has entered Hogwarts. 9:06 Echostar the House Cup should be more about classroom points than Quidditch points, imo. Quidditch has a seperate cup 9:06 Bond em7 Everyone ok with that? 9:06 Melody6 Black Mesa likes the idea, too, Liss? 9:06 Jiskran Exactly. 9:06 Melody6 Yeah 9:06 LittleRedCrazyHood I am. 9:06 Peislandgal When you win the final game would you get 30 for the win and then 50 for winning the cup? or just 50 9:06 Lissyboo Yeah, Mewchee x) 9:07 Melody6 Winning at life 9:07 Bond em7 Just the 50 I think Peis 9:08 Echostar i'm not sure actually... there might not be a clear winner of the cup until all the points are added up So I'm rooting for 30 and 50 9:08 Melody6 ^ 9:08 Alyssa5582 ^ 9:08 Lissyboo ^ 9:08 Bond em7 winning the game and an additional 50 for winning the Quidditch Cup? 9:09 Jiskran Seems fair. 9:09 Alyssa5582 Yes. 9:09 Melody6 Yeah, consistancy 9:09 Echostar Yep 9:09 Bond em7 Ok, we'll go with that 9:09 Echostar Anyone disagree or have another opinion? Football444 has left Hogwarts. 9:09 Bond em7 Let's see....next up As you all know we recently fought for Technology to be implemented inour wizarding world 9:10 Lissyboo <totally goes for it. Football444 has entered Hogwarts. 9:11 Bond em7 I realized yesterday that though we did this, nobody really had a fully thought out plan on how to implement this, and what it's limits are, how it workes etc 9:11 Melody6 So will there be a typing class/a computer lab in Hogwarts now? 9:11 LittleRedCrazyHood Technology goes haywire in Hogwarts. 9:11 Bond em7 Lol Not quite Football444 has left Hogwarts. 9:11 Bond em7 Right, which were a couple of our issues 9:12 Melody6 Have actual lined paper instead of parchment? PENS? 9:12 Lissyboo ^Never!!! 9:12 LittleRedCrazyHood ^ 9:12 Bond em7 So..after talking with the Bcrats and Bryans who's our new Minister, we decided on an approach 9:12 Lissyboo Atleast mesa hopes not.
