Estella
I was wondering if you were still considering Estella for the Wizengamot. I know trials will probably start soon, so I wanted to see if she would be in by then, if you were going to put her in.

Archives
As the owner (of a sort) of the Leaky Cauldron, I'm going to allow you to deal with the archives as you see fit. You may delete what you think shouldn't be kept, and archive that wich you think needs to be archived, and remove archives when you think it's prudent. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 13:25, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, posting a quick blog about it can't hurt. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 13:33, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Ciaran
Well, Ciaran would have loved the caves. Easy swimming, a place to get away from everyone else, have friends over etc. A perfect boys hideout while growing up. I just thought some remnants of him in hidden places of the house would be appropriate as he probably would have explored every part of the house, and be especially interested in those he shouldn't have been allowed inside.

On another note, would you be interested in him trying to talk to his dad soon? I'm still looking for someone to rp his wife (though if it comes down to it, I may just do it as she'll only probably be a minor character), but she can just stay in the background for now. Let me know, and I may have him head to the house soonish. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 15:51, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * It was my plan to not have Caecey know about the caves, and it be a 'private retreat' of Ciarans as it were, including even from his sister. I did see the histroy of the family, and the serpent society etc, and it was very interesting. For now I'll hold off on Ciaran, as it's not like I'll use him much, or anything will really change with him, so just let me know when you think a good time to bring him in would be. Also, I looked through the household again today (checking out all the new stuff) and noticed the lab isn't linked to anywhere. Is that on purpose or an oversight? Anyway, just thought I would ask. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 16:00, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...I guess for now I will approve the serum....though I still want it to be rare/tightly controlled etc, so as to not overwhelm the animagi population, and I do still want it to be possible to becomae an animagus without it. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 16:09, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, under those conditions, I'm good with the serum. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 16:19, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Vetus
I do have a couple things I would like to address with you about Vetus. However, it would be much better in chat, so when I'm on (hopefully this evening or tomorrow evening) we can tag up and talk about it quickly. Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 18:42, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I very much like the idea of the wand being a relic, and someone (whether it's Barant of not) trying to win it. Can you add it to the relic's list? I was thinking for it's "Properties" that it has no alliegence to win, and that it gives it's wielder a leadership point for each encounter they use it. Thoughts? Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 14:01, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Bedazzling Hex
Let me know where you would like an RP to take place. I will forever be amazed that clan Rookou is anything beyond Arcturus and Tulula. I see that the Rook has expanded immensely and I plan to add Tulula's Wing links to the existing floors. Don't let any future RP wait for that to happen, you know how I polish my pages endlessly. 17:35, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Rookwood not Rookou
Alex, I am afraid that link is not 'blood' of Tulula, she does look upon him with same eyes that Arcturus should be. She is impressed that this 'abomination' as he should not exist does appear to be what should would wished for in the twins. Tulula being completely in the dark about the organizational aspect of leadership in Arcturus' life at present and him not being available to see Draco himself does seem strange. However, just reply with 'stop him' and I will. Belle  Linda  19:56, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

MIA
You'll notice that Tulula is disgusted by the elf kind. She would prefer to associate with her very own personal 'rare hybrid creature' servant girl, the only one she allowed in her private Rooms bedroom included when she is in them. We haven't been able to 'establish' her just yet, either way I await the RP that will follow. 20:30, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jisk.

I'm planning on getting to responding to those today, but if somehow I don't get to it...

If you feel archiving is appropriate then I'd say you could do so...

On a normal basis I prefer to only have Madame Malkin's only RPed my myself (Madame Malkin) or others RPing workers. However, I haven't been very active the past week and a half (really busy), so if you are interested in RPing Madame Malkin once or twice now that would be fine with me. Since this is one of my few blocks of wiki time, I'll probably update her, but after that if you see something that you feel needs a reply I wouldn't have any problem with you RPing Madame Malkin for that. Of course, if you aren't interested in this, that's also fine by me, so no pressure at all. Thanks for your interest in helping out. 03:06, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

I'm fine with that as long as all the forms she takes are "possible" animagus forms for her, following the normal rules. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:21, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

How to lock a page?
Hi, Jisk. So, Shanis brought somethig up in chat- some unregistered wikia contributor is editing her page, she doens't know who it is, and it's really annoying her. I wnated to know, can you, and do you know how, to make a user-page locked so only registered users can sign it?

Ariadne

 * Posted in Einar's office as Ariadne. Not sure if this belongs in his office or hers (which is a WIP currently).


 * Where would my 7th year fall in Animagi Training ? His animal of choice is is a Kimodo Dragon. Fre  ja  02:13, October 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Steve and Laela - I am wondering the "bumping" a year process. I have held Laela back, she should be Fifth as well.


 * -Letting you know Belle and myself are familiars in real life and she is contemplating letting me Adopt Jasmine Mendez.

Adoption
Hey, Jisk. Faeriegrrl talked to me, telling me that she would like to adopt the Seawood Sisters, and she told me to ask her if I could help her adopt them. I think an admin has to approve the request first? I'm not so sure.


 * She's the only one adopting them. Thanks, by the way.

Trial
I was wondering when you think we should start the trial. I was about to send owls out to all the members and i didn't know what day to tell them.

RE:Zamira
Thanks jisk, I've done it.

The answer to two questions
First Answer: Elizabeth Swan is not mine and has no relation to my "swan family". So, feel free to do whatever you want to do with the character.

Second: I looked, I did sort the character long ago. The character seems quite overpowered from the page. Forum:Violett Chakra. It does seem that the character has been overpowered more on the page, I do wish I denied the sorting forum for more answers, I guess I did't think about that at the time. I am sorry for not denying that forum, there was something like 20 sorting forums stacked up, so I guess I briefly scanned through the forms. I am a much better sorter (And Snitcher. I assume that isn't a word) nowadays. :D I'm becoming more stricter at sortings. :D Anyway, Thanks for asking!

Talk Bubble
No problem. Those sort of templates are wikia community property, along with others that anyone can use such as the GM bubble or the Ghosts bubble.

I'm assuming you can GM the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin Quidditch match when it begins tomorrow, correct? If not, let me know. Thanks! <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:03, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Archiving
While I appriciate the gesture, in the future can you refrain from archiving my classroom (specifically in this instance the General RP:Transfiguration room). I keep up with that I've responded to, given House Points etc etc through my archiving method. I'm usually on enough it shouldn't be an issue, and the page shouldn't get overfull before I can archive it, but if you see it needs it, could you just drop me a message instead of archiving it yourself? Thanks! <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:44, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

D&B devices
I decided not to post the entire WB here but I wasn't sure about Mol's response to Steve so I wanted to go over it with you. I am sure you know that quite a few spells have no incatation or wand movement, I am not entirely sure that Memory Extraction is a spell that can be cast or just some magic anyone is capable of doing. Either way let me know if this post looks okay to you and we can continue or conclude Steve's visit.

- The user must put all of their focus on the memory they wish to view. Keep it as the only thought in one's mind, giving the most detail possible to all things seen and heard. As the momory fills your mind extract it and and simply place it inside the ball to view it. Ki rá ( talk )

Apologies
I hadn't noticed the post in Tulula's section of the Rookery, I am so sorry. If something like that happens where I let an RP float even though I am active else where on the wiki please feel free to Owl me and let me know. Belle  Linda  01:23, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

All work and no Play
I'll admit right now, HW is going to be a hit or miss for me. If it is too overwhelming to myself, requires far more research then I feel is necessary for me to personally spend my time doing. It won't be done, I may do the assignments of 1 character but not all of them. I do plan to be active in class and else where. Which is the reason I used one of them to ask permission. The Head of House comment made sense which was the reason I made the comment about not having a second character (Nyxie) in another one of your classes.

Hey Jisk, Sadly I was not aware of that. Thanks for telling me though! It was there at some point, so I guessed when I changed it recently it might have been a problem. May need your help readding it, as I forgot how to do that with templates xD. Thanks Zanzan28 (talk) 23:44, October 10, 2012 (UTC) (I added that time stamp)

Address
For my own clarification, would Mark Faltz be addressed as Barrister Faltz or Mister Faltz? I'd very much like to participate in the trial as Ariadne in more then just non-speaking posts and realized I cannot do that because I do not know how to refer to Mark. Fre ja  19:10, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Misdirection
I was going to point out the Steve and Caly thing, glad you did instead. I was thinking they could attempt to engage the listeners in a sway of the conversation to more about Gruff or Adie. Steve is currently Caly's one and only non blood related friend, that is a not a problem as she finds him endlessly interesting except that she would not have noticed Gruff becoming a more active listener (He put his book down). As for Lee, I personally needed a bit of a comeback from the posts during his entrance into class. In summation, Do let me know where Tulula and Arcturus end up when they continue their conversation please and thank you. Belle  Linda  23:25, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Not so much
Credit goes to you. You sent an owl and the way that you phrased certain things, making an office from the rubble, (I will be making an office for her soon.) and the Pheonix thing inspired me to take it further than a reply to the owl on her page. The fact that you hope it was fruitless and frustrating makes it all the more hilarious because it was just that for her, not so much for me. Thanks for playing along. Fre ja  19:42, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification, it was much funnier before the clear up. So I am going to pretend that you didn't send that last owl and the intention was to frustrate. :) As I said, I enjoyed myself. Ariadne may not have but that does not matter. 19:57, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

D&B Teaching tools
I do not exactly remember but I am not sure Mol has ever worked with Steve's other Ministry issues items aside from the Remembrall.

Thanks for the message....it is rather atypical for me to get that, but I greatly appriciate it.

Trials and Transfiguration
I know you are fully capable, and inthe future if I'm nit around a few days, you can feel free to post alist of places I need to post on my talk page to make it easy when I get back, if you feel so inclined. As for the trials, I'm glad you were aware, just wanted to make sure we're all playing by the same rules. Also, I'm currently going through the transfiguration guide, so expect more comments here on that. I liked the first couple of pages. However, on the third page, about untransfiguration, I think a line at the end saying somthing about "without proper knowledge of what the original target was, or how it was changed, failure to untransfigure it is possible, even likely." My understanding is that untransfiguring something requires precise knowledge of at least what it used to be, or how it was done, or an extrememly skilled wizard. Just a thought. I'm going to conntinue to look it over, and post any other comments I have here. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 16:06, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, I don't think the incantation "Reparifarge" is in our Spell List. When I made that list I looked for Harry Potter spells everywhere. Where did this incantation come from?
 * Also, from our spell list, and somewhere (though I can't remember exactly where right now) the spell for turning a match to a needle is "Metallum". Probably not too proper, but I did get it from some HP source.
 * Rabbit to slippers need to be added to the Spell List.
 * Snail to teapot needs to be added to the spell list.
 * Fera Verto should be updated to Vera Verto if we want to keep things consitant.
 * For snuffilfors, one of the reasons it's an easier transformation is that both mice and books have spines. This makes the actualy change easier to visualize.
 * For avifors, after you summon them, you can use the incantation Avis to make your summoned creatures attack.

So, those things above are the specific things I noticed. I'm going to give you a quick overview of how I teach transfiguration to see if you would like to add anything else.

So, first off there are 3 major branches of transfiguration, transformation (changing one thing into another), conjuration (creating something from nothing) and vanishing (changing something into nothing). They all create change, and thus are transfiguration. there are other sub branches the older students deal with (untransfiguration, animagi transformations, appiration, etc), but they're minor in comparison. You guide seems to be all about transformations, so maybe that would make a more appropriate title "A Beginner's Guide to Transformations". Anyway, I'll focus on transformations, as you seem to be. When you transform something, you not only need the proper spell and wand movement, but you also have to visualize what you're turning it into. If you're turning a water goblet into a bird, you have to visualize it having wings, lighter bones, feathers etc, and concentrate on that, or you may only get a partial transformation. Further, if you want the result to actually act like it naturally would (still using a bird as an example) you also have to concentrate on giving it a purpose. Fo, for your bird, you could focus on it's purpose being to fly, or to eat birdseed etc, but if you don't give it some birdlike purpose, it will only look like a bird, and not act like it. Obviously this becomes increasingly difficult with more complex creatures, which is why you generally cannot transfigure things into humans.

For conjuration, you can conjure just about anything, but there are rules, and limitations. They only last for a small amount of time, given the caster's power and concentration level. Again, a conjuration needs a purpose to fully cbecome and do what the caster wishes. It can be as simple as conjuring fire, and it's purpose being to burn, or as complex as conjuring stone and giving it the prupose to shine, and possibly getting a gemstone.

For vanishing, when you vanish something, it goes into non-being. That being said, using this willy-nilly on living creatures is severly frowned upon, as you're basically killing them. However, the larger more complex the creature, the harder it is. Naturally, anything inorganic or garbage is fairly simple to just vanish. It's practically impossible to do this to a human given their level of complexity. As with transformation and conjuring, purpose is important, as when you are vanishing knowing the purpose of the thing your vanishing makes it easier to get rid of as you more fully understand it.

Now, understand all magic can be done simply, by waving your wand and saying the incantation, but the results will not be nearly as good as if you fully understand the subject, and take the disciple and concentration to learn to do it correctly. In my esitimation students who cannot do more than wave their wand and say magic words will not progress beyond the OWL level of magic.

Hopefully this helps, or is at least interesting. If you have any other questions, let me know. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 16:59, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Animagi Registry

Ok great. Just some things i wouldn't like to change the Brother is that his name is Steve Kunze, his wife is Cressidia, and he is a major dark wizard. Those are the main things i would like you to keep the same. But otherwise also Derek and Steve tend to argue often. Otherwise do whatever ya want with him. I cant really tell you what to do anyway, but I would ask you to. And maybe if you want u could create his wife Cressidia, but I dont see much importance in it. Anyway, thanks again for taking him. Means a lot to me. Thanks :) <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Red" >Colin <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Black" >687 17:35, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Department of Morale and Information
Perhaps this page could be renamed to just Department of Morale and Information, as the other Departments are?

Jisk could you re-link me to Hebath please?

Jisk can you come on chat ASAP?

RE:
Okay then. I am going more and more inactive each week so I may not post regularly anyway so could you by any chance adopt one of my characters? I was thinking of giving away April Lash.


 * Okay. Btw am I allowed to promote a story I wrote which is not complete on another website?

Chat
Would you join me in chat? I have a question. <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Red" >Colin <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Black" >687 18:27, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Jisk. I just wanted to know, can I take over the second positon as UK representative alongside Alice Smith in the International Confederation of Wizards, if my new char gets approved (Winston Lysander)? <font face="Arial Black" size="4" color="midnightblue" >Weirdo Guy (<font face="Segoe UI Light" size="2" color="steelblue">talk ) 17:09, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

The Broom Sanctuary
'The Broom Sanctuary' as most members of the Rookou family jokingly call it, is a mahogany shed in which the family brooms, and Quidditch sets, etc. are kept. Caecey Rookou-Greengrass used to sit in this shed and polish the handle of her broom, and clip any bent twigs on them until they are of perfect condition. There are the 'old school brooms' that are passed on throughout the family for those too young to own their own- of which there are none at this current time. It was built by James Rookou I, another one of his 'projects' that he claimed to have built himself- but in reality hired yet another Muggle architect to build it for him- and has been kept in perfect condition over the years. It is regularly dusted by the house-elves, and is still a favourite haunt of Caecey herself, as she, even now, tends to take very good care of her brooms. The various wood splinters on the floor used to be the broom of Ciaran Rookou-Greengrass, and even a slightly aging broom that appears like it may have belonged to Arcturus Rookou himself. There may be a broom that once belonged to Tulula Greengrass that she kept from her childhood, but this is in doubt, since Tulula herself was never really a Quidditch person. You may be asking why Ciaran's broom is in splinters and Caecey's is not. This is another thing that shows the difference between the "defection" of Caecey and the "dereliction of duty" of Ciaran, at least in Arcturus' opinion.

I had an idea for a place to store brooms. I was also planning to add a little to the portrait room.

Thanks. It just came off the top of my head. I like to write, so anything that gives me an excuse to, I'll do it.

Miss spelling
Are you making fun of me? Because it feels like you are, I spell things wrong all the time. I was doing that just for you. :p

Abilities
Hey Lex (can I call you that? I like that bookworm),

So I'm planning for my character to have mind powers so I really don't get what you said that there should be balance and stuff. Well then, what can you suggest? That she should have telekinetic abilities but she gets diagnosed with ADHD? Will that be okay? I'm asking for a suggestion that's all. So if it isn't in HP standards then what else are there? Oh and I also would like to know the templates being used here.

Thanks,

Can't come on chat as I'm at school, but did you notice User blog:Lilly Lovegood(2)/Happy Birthday, Echo!

RE:
I'm on chat if you would like to talk, but in answer, I was actually expecting Kinsel to miss the beginning of the attack, being at the cave with Sarah. I thought we would wait just a bit, then come back to find the attack in progress. Any thoughts or problems with that, or ideas on if that's a good or bad idea? I would assume Einar made the preperations, and I'll signal for the aurors. Kinsel sees Vetus as too dangerous to everyone around him, so he would not want him in this fight. I think that about covers it...oh, for the Ravenclaws, I'll probably temporarily use Echo's character. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 15:40, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
Well, she did her sorting before Zan implemented the whole mentoring thing. I'm just helping out, answering any questions she asks, or explaining anything she's confused with.

Thalia
I do see your warnings/suggestions on her talk page, but I don't see any of the things mentioned on the character's page. I'm assuming she has modified it and such. As for the ring, I see the picture, but no description or anything on here. However, I'll keep a closer eye on the character, and if I see anything, I'll say something. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:40, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Draco
It would seem Draco could use a friend. How about Karith? Doesn't Draco seem like the type to go to the prisioner cells and make fun of prisioners, or taunt them etc? :P Just a thought. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 16:33, October 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was thinking the same thing about Draco, he seems lonely. Would you mind if Miranda joined him at Florean's? His state of being is amusing and I have not yet used her. - your friendly neighborhood Faeriegrrl  16:51, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
I'll edit that last post to include the apparition of him to his home. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to use her, good night! - your friendly neighborhood Faeriegrrl  23:17, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Idea! (lightbulb)
Just got an idea Jisky! Lets make a Daily Prophet for the wiki! Would that be great! We could have an updated 12 weekly, or maybe even weekly paper of highlights of what is happening in the war and stuff..

Steve
If you would like to post something to that effect on the 4th floor, I'll GM it (as people aren't supposed to GM things like this with their own characters) and keep in mind both the ward, and the misinformation Kinsel has. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:07, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, remember that "...the dietary supplements supplied by his teaching tools have been redesigned by the Ministry to cause Mr. Shunpike's body to shut down in the event of dangerously elevated adrenal levels, a situation which his psychological programming will lead him to define as narcolepsy." (I've been reading your updated report :D). Let me know when Kinsel would actually get it. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:08, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then Kinsel won't have read it until after the attack, as he's been out and about, not in his office. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:19, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Pro
qish I would have realized that Barant had said that. Darn .. oh well I guess. But, I'm going to be working on that. I will make different articles and such, especially the war. And whenever I think an issue could be shown to the RP community, I will she one. Problem is, dont know where or which article I should put that I am selling the papers. Thought maybe Diagon Alley or something. asked Bond, but I will be listening for both of your feedback. <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Red" >Colin <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Black" >687 17:40, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

4th Floor
Sorry, I was waiting for another post for some reason...not sure why. Anyway, I'll post now. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:38, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Steve
Well, that's kinda the reaction I was hoping for :P. Anyway, I would say somthing similar to what you posted on my talk page, just make it an attempt. For example: Steve, seeing Caly fall would be stunned for a moment, and then his brain would go red and fuzzy. His eyes would lock on December, and without understaing how or why, he would direct all his magical and mental might directly at her." It might be less focused, and just get everything around him, but I think something like that would work well, especially for what I have planned. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:49, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Seawood Sisters
No, you did exactly what your were supposed to...inform of and enforce the rules. I don't mind being the good cop to your bad. Maybe this is wrong of my, but I know most of the Admins/Bcrats on the wiki are really "rules" people, and I fully understand that, as without rules that are generally followed, things fall apart quickly. However, I do prefer to play the Bcrat role what occasionally breaks a few rules, as long as the enjoyment will ouutweigh the consequences. Besides, I much more enjoy telling people they CAN rather than they CANNOT. So, no you didn't overstep your bounds, and yes you did exactly the right thing...I'm just using my Bcrat authority to override you in this case. I'm pretty sure you understand, and I won't/don't overstep other people's authority often, so I hope you don't feel slighted by me doing it this time. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:26, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Barant
Like he said...he's been watching you, and that's a typical first move/defense for you. Once he's seen the effect, he would figure out the incantation. He came into this battle with that one prepared for you. :D <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 15:14, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm doing my best to make this an interesting duel. I already had the vendetta move planned, and honestly Barant's doing his best to just stall, and trying to make Faris mad and sloppy. I would LOVe to post on the 4th floor, as it will change a lot of things...but I think it's only fair to give december a chance to post first. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 15:42, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

 * Which I have no issue with, and generally enjoy. I just misread it. 16:15, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Karith
Overall I think it will probably be the minister's decision and curiosity which brings him to talk with Karith...especially seeing how Karith used to be the head of a department in the ministry. ..but no worries. When it happens, it happens. Is there any info that he would have about Karith that you don't know OOC or would like me to write up as a ministry report? Let me know. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 17:22, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

RPing
Alright, well I'll put some links here about Karith for you to check out, and write some things up here for you too. So, here's the links:
 * Karith Black
 * Ministry Ballroom - The muder is here, as well as the investigation, all in the archives
 * Ministry of Magic Courtrooms/Ruby Young Archive1
 * Ministry of Magic Courtrooms/Ruby Young Archive2
 * Professor Ruby Young

From reading through the ball transcript, He might notice and find odd the following:
 * Ministry_Ballroom/Archive12 - Professor Seraph doesn't know what the poison was, and was asked to remain at Hogwarts.
 * Ministry Ballroom/Archive18 - Professor Blatnat identified it was a BASIC poison.

As for Karith, his transcripts would be very good. He was Head Boy at Hogwarts, and a prefect before that. He has nothing in his record to indicate he ever had any detentions or was anything less than perfect at Hogwarts. He was also the Slytherin seeker and Quidditch Captain, and the Slytherin team was unbeatable while he was captain. I believ his grades are on his page. All in all, he seems like a perfect student.

As for Ruby, Kinsel would have a record of her work. She had just finished her second year at Hogwarts when the ball occurred. She was an excellent anigmagi teacher, and very well liked at Hogwarts and the Ministry, which was why her death was so shocking and caused such a wave, and public call for the Ministry to convict. Everyone at the ball was a participant, and they were scared it could have been them instead of her, so there was a ton of public pressure.

I think that's a good start. If there's anything more specific you would like to know, just let me know. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 17:55, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Kidding! I noticed, (I read the the conversation about the Seawoods/myself) and I want to thank you for the compliments to my personal character. 20:12, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Fourth Floor
Is what Steve doing supposed to have any effect of Ember? I'd just like to know before I post.

Entrance Hall
The current count is 3 Ministry (Einar, Estella and Tanis) and Shadow, and 3 WHPS (Barant, Wendy and Balthazar) and Shadow. Obviously Shadow gets mentioned twice because I can't tell where he stands. Ki rá ( talk ) 03:01, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Have you told the rest of the Admin team that I'm going to be inactive?

 Dduffurg48/Gruff  14:49, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Appiration
Well, without the ward preventing it, he (and the WHPS) can now appirate out. Any spells CAST will have about a 50% chance of failure, but as appiration/animagi transformation etc, don't require a wand, and aren't technically a spell, they shouldn't have a problem. However, if you would like, we can have a chance of appiration failure...but the failure will be in the destination, not in the chance of it happening or not. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 15:59, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Mildaddo
Just want to let you know I am going to put this on Tanis' page (somehow) because it was a beautiful post and I think it should be commemorated.
 * Einar draws a dagger from his right boot and places the tip of it just below the base of Shadow's skull.* "One move out of you, miladdo, and your brains come out scrambled. Let's see you drop the wand, and someone find out who he really is."

-I would have very much liked to have Tanis to be the one to "find out who he is" but isn't that up to User:Weirdo Guy? To make up for that she will snatch his wand from him or resort to more physical means if he does not do as Einar instructed him to. Hope you have/had a good day.
