[Day Three] October 29 & October 30th, 2019

[Day Three] October 29th & October 30th, 2019
Theme:

October comes to a close - and with that close causes the screaming realization that mid-terms are here. But it's all right - you've been preparing. You've been studying. You can do this - after all, this isn't the test to decide the future of your career. That's not for another months yet, so why worry about it when the crippling anxiety of these exams are right there?

The days are rainy with brief breaks during the day, the distant Pitch in use as teams practice for the opening of both Qudditch and Quodpot season next month. The temperature stays just above the freezing mark, making the days chilly and the nights almost cold; in the early morning, frost is visible across the entire grounds.

House Point Totals
As midterms arrive, the house totals sit as such.
First: Horned Serpent, with 105 Points
Second: Thunderbird, with 85 Points
Third: Wampus, with 55 Points
Last: Pukwudgie, with 30 Points

Events
Note: If you participate in one Mid-Term event, you must participate in all three.
Hold My Gigglewater and Watch This [Mid-Term]
Some classes are easy. Like, really easy - go show them and ace that test, youngling!

This is Fine [Mid-Term]
Other classes are... not so easy. But you should still be able to pull this off, right?

I Have No Idea What I'm Doing [Mid-Term]
And then there are those classes you wish you could drop and never have to do again. You still have to do your test, though.

What, Do You Guys Not Have Dates?
Midterms might be here - but so is the year's first dance. It's been busy and maybe there've been other distractions... but the popularity contest begins and teenagers are the harshest judges.

Gossip About School
"Who told you?
"Wallace, duh."
"That gossipy bitch."
"You know me."
... heard at breakfast ...
"D'yhear? Some of the sevens got caught out after curfew."
"Yeah, poor Lucca had her collection of minis snagged - ol' Maximus said she'd broken the rules by enchanting no-maj objects."
"Well, it could be worse, right? I hear the Pukwudgies got hit hard over that!"
"Nah, that had nothing to do with that. The Head Girl caught a Pukwudgie wandering after curfew, according to the counts."
"Huh. I heard they were related."
"Maybe you just heard wrong? Pass the bacon, will ya?"

... heard in Potions ...
"Psst, did you hear? Someone's been poking around about the Tower again."
"Again? Every year, you'd think people would know by now it's nothing but a Chilling Curse."
"Really? I heard it was where they buried the body of Gaunt back in the early days of the school."
"Pfft, you think they'd bury a dark wizard so close to a school?"

... heard in the Grotto ...
"Hey, don't go into the Maze. Didn't you hear that lecture Professor Maximus gave after that one Thunderbird came wandering out? Man, I'm surprised she wasn't expelled for that!"

... overheard by a class waiting for World History ...
"Professor Abar, Raymond, I assure you - I am fully qualified for this position. I wrote a thesis on -"
"Oh, that's what you keep saying! I bet you're making it all up! Hired for being one of 'Dumbledore's Army' I bet! Balderdash!"
"Professor, that is out of - "
"I bet you never even met Potter! Did you even go to Hogwarts? I'm going to get to the bottom of this, you know!"
"... <audible sigh as the other door to the classroom slams>"

... heard in No-Maj Studies ...
"I'm not sure I get it. I kind of understand the cat after our last unit..."
"Yeah but?"
"... but I'm not sure I get what the screaming woman is about."
"Yeah, the videos where they brought back no-maj historical figures to yell at each other were better, if you ask me."

... heard in the Prefect Lounge ...
"Hey, Nat, how's your boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"Who're you dating now, Nat?"
"Oh, that Puk that broke up our D&D game the other night! You know how Nat likes that badboy charm!"
"If I hear that coming out of your mouth again, Brooke, one of the Pukwudgies might find out about your midnight meetings with Evan!"

... overheard passing pukwudgies in the halls ...
"Children these days have no respect!"
"I say King should expel them! Exploring Isolt's Tomb! Digging under the Snakewood Tree!"
"The audacity!"
"The insult!"
"Children these days!"

... heard at lunch ...
"Did you guys see the posters?"
"About the 'Spooktacular'? Man, who came up with that name!"
"Yeah, it's weird - likely it was Headmaster King."
"He's kinda weird. Hey, has anyone seen him lately?"
"Not me. ... so, have you found a date yet?"
"... uh, a date? ... uh, yeah, of course I have! ... hey, I gotta run. I've got... uhh... No-Maj Studies homework to do."
