Kayte here with some important end of school year announcements!

First up, George Waterford is delighted to announce that She has captained Ravenclaw to QUIDDITCH CUP VICTORY! Though the final match was a tight one, Ravenclaw defeated Slytherin 160 to 110. Almost all of that was George, as seeker. Just saying.

More importantly, though, our House Cup winner is...

HUFFLEPUFF!



Students who qualify for the appropriate stamps will be contacted shortly.

Another activity check come and gone!

The list of inactive accounts has been compiled and deactivations and list maintenance are underway :) If you lost a character you'd like back, you may post in Maintenance starting Wednesday, June 8th. If you have no currently active characters you can post in maintenance immediately!

(If you lost a character before the AC, you can post there whenever you'd like!)

Posting Wizard

The winner of May's Posting Wizard was Fox (Basil Foxwood) with 65 posts! June sees Kayte, Gin, Hyacinth, Kit and Stef fighting for the title~

Student Staff

Please be advised that, as of today, any vacant prefect/head boy/girl slots are available only through Prefect Season, which officially drops this month!

Want to partake in the fun? This year's incomings list is live! We're also in the market for a Gryffindor HoH and all four matrons to help us judge applicants in July ;)

Go Charming,



That's right, Charming is ELEVEN years old today—its letter has been sent out by owl, and it will be heading to Hogwarts in the fall!  From all of us on the staff team, thank YOU so much for your continued engagement, spirit, and sense of community. Charming could not have gotten this far without you <3

Summer Skins!

As is the annual tradition when we have our crap together, Summer Skins have dropped today!  We have four delightful new skins for you to choose from:





Sunshine, Daisies, Butter Mellow by MJ (Elias Grimstone), Belle Epoch and I Prefer Men to Cauliflowers by Lady (Tilda MacFusty), and A Presentiment by Gin (Atticus Foxwood) are all available for use now!  You can change the skin on each account in one of two ways: use the drop-down menu at the bottom of each page to select your preferred skin, or hit up options in the UCP. Which skin(s) will you choose?

June Writing Challenge

In honour of Charming's birthday, the June Writing Challenge is LIVE, featuring eleven mini-challenges to complete before the month is out! Don't forget that for those of you who already have your monthly challenge steps, you have the opportunity to take things to the next level...

A Quest!

In honour of Charming's birthday, I've hidden five cupcakes as a search-and-find! Head on over to C&E to learn more and to rack up some prizes...
