hi friends! in a very shocking turn of events (pun intended!), i've got a bit of a history lesson for you all this month. we all know and love our little village of hogsmeade, every student's favorite weekend getaway during the semester, but who knows about its founding? my guess would mostly be my fellow hufflepuffs, as the founder was one of our very own! hengist of woodcroft settled hogsmeade sometime in the 11th century to be an all wizarding village free from the persecution of muggles. it's also the only all wizarding village in britain to this day. a feat worth a weekend filled with celebration in this journalist's opinion! so how about we get onto the fun stuff?
celebrated every november, hogsmeade's founder's festival includes a number of special booths and festivities put on by the entire village. some highlights of this years festival will include an open mic at the three broomsticks, face painting at scrivenshaft's quill shop, cocoa at madam puddifoot's tea shop, mini tree decorating at dogweed and deathcap, and fireworks provided by zonko's joke shop on sunday evening!! each shop will also be featuring a variety of discounts to celebrate good ol' hengist, so be sure to take advantage for the upcoming holidays!!
further event details can be found under the cut!! this has been your favorite festival queen, mayumi signing off!!
the event will begin on november 17 at 12am est/5am gmt, and will run until november 22 at 11:59pm est/4:59am gmt.
all event related starters should be placed under both the fhqsstart and fhqsevent002 tags.
please note that in game, this event only takes place on saturday and sunday.
halloween. a night known for ghosts, ghouls, and all things spooky; wix very much included. exactly why it's become such a massive celebration at hogwarts year after year. duh! this year's party will feature a costume contest voted on by your fellow students, so make sure you dress to impress! this spooktacular event will also have live music by none other than THE spellbound!! if you think i'm not excited, you are so sorely mistaken! read between the exclamation marks, people! who knows, maybe their next big scandal will result from the evening's festivities! one can only dream.
now onto the boring bit.
we expect everyone to be on their very best behavior, lest you be immediately asked to leave and not allowed to return. drunken and/or violent behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and you will be forcibly escorted from the premises if necessary. blah blah blah... ugh we really need a cooler supervisor.
further event details can be found under the cut!! love from your local party princess, mayumi over and out!!
the event will begin on october 26 at 12am est/5am gmt, and will run until october 31 at 11:59pm est/4:59am gmt.
all event related starters should be placed under both the fhqsstart and fhqsevent001 tags.
in correspondence with the event, our first mini task will be costume creation! this can be done via a graphic, or, if that’s not your style, you can also write up a description of the costume if you’d like. these can be posted under the fhqstask001 and fhqsevent001 tags, as well as the edits thread of the link channel in the discord.
