This event has concluded. Sorting Ceremony (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284749.msg14015767#msg14015767) - All returning and new students of Hogwarts are welcomed to the great hall with a sorting ceremony (for the new students) and a grand feast (for all to enjoy). <em>Note: Even though this event is over, if you want to play the sorting hat scene out, just PM the GM's with that request. For a list of students and their houses, just refer to the Accepted Characters thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284413.0).</em><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Saturday, 23 September 2017</strong></span> - Quidditch Tryouts (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14115405#msg14115405) - All students interested in joining the Quidditch team for their respective House are allowed to tryout this year, after the scandal of several key members of the team from last year, were caught cheating with Felix Felicis to enhance their chances of winning. Only the Ravenclaw Captain, Sasha Shackelthorn (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14199423#msg14199423) managed to come out unscathed as the rest were demoted and their roles passed to inexperienced leaders below them. <em>Note: This scene has been stalled for some time. If you would like your character to be on the Quidditch team, please PM the GM's with that request. Currently all of the Slytherin spots are filled, but we might still be able to work something out.</em><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Friday, 29 September 2017</strong></span> - Black Lake Bonfire (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=285018.msg14112198#msg14112198) - Hosted by Aaric Balor. *<strong>GM Plot Event took place here.</strong> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=285018.msg14148828#msg14148828)* Fergus, a halfblood Hufflepuff first year and Alyssa, a pureblood Slytherin sixth year (NPC's) get into a confrontation when Fergus clumsily spills his butterbeer all over her. Things escalate when he tries to wipe the stains away, and Alyssa warns him not to touch her. She bumps into him and topples backward, right into the lake. She drew her wand and pointed it straight at Fergus. A few other students intervened, no one was hurt and no spells were cast. Alyssa left the scene and Fergus summoned his pet rat, Chip, only to discover that he was turned into a squeaking statue. Fergus believes Alyssa had something to do with it. </div>
