-fairly soon the time will tell-
Anybody who hasn't turned in your homework for the last week, please, please do so now. Otherwise your grade will have to be held over, and that would be a shame, considering how well you've all done this term.
The play and the club presentations were very enjoyable. Miss Jones, well done to you and the rest of the Explorer's Club; I'm sure everyone learned something new about the castle!

Why they let Kidd into the Spirit Division is beyond me. Pity none of those self-proclaimed has-beens possesses any practical knowledge of title in movable property..... Surely even they couldn't be idiots enough to reverse the legislation, after all that.
*wry chuckle, sarcasm... he hopes* Good God, I'm doomed.

Homework grading is as follows: the usual 0-5 points for second/third years, 0-10 for fourth/fifth years, 0-15 for sixth/seventh years, each with up to five points extra credit and canonical letter grades from T(errible) to O(utstanding).
2nd-3rd years: transcription and magic circle theory. Extra credit for neatness, points taken for sloppiness.
4th-5th years: spell construction and ward drafting. Extra credit for a working ward, points taken (and band-aids administered) if it blows up.
--Also, for fifth-years, an additional OWL practice exam graded on a pass/fail basis, earning five points for passing and costing five points for failure. It should not be difficult to pass unless your character is a hardcore slacker.~
6th-7th years: spellcrafting in different languages; translating spells to and from various languages; outline of an end-of-term project on use of written magic in the real world (magical journals, hieroglyphic curses on tombs, shouting currency for the sight-impaired, signage invisible to Muggles, ink-based healing runes, etc). Extra credit for thoroughness, points taken for haphazard research.
--Also, for seventh-years, an additional NEWT practice exam administered and graded along the same lines as the OWL one.
Any end-of-term exams will have taken place last week. Come getcher last-minute points! \o/]]
