BT,

We have a few announcements to make and give a heads up to all the members, so those of you who have taken the time to look over this report, I thank you for the consideration and interest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly, some of you may have noticed an absence from one of our main administrators, Eleiun (but fondly known as KC). KC has been suffering from a terribl flu and just hasn't had the energy to come on for some days now. She'll be back as soon as she's well again and sends her love to all of you.

In the mean time, we're carrying on as we always have, while her threads remain on hold for her until she returns.

Next, I'm sure you've noticed the change in skins and well we thought we had needed a bit of a change. Something more uniform and we're hoping that you like the switch.

Lastly, I would like to take the time to compliment all of the wonderful roleplay that I've seen taking place. You're all doing such a brilliant job, and as soon as our Plot Goddess is returned to us, all of your loveable admins shall be putting their heads together to make a plot in which all can find themselves involved in. Patience is a virture my friends. Also, we're extending a warm welcome to our new applicants and should they find themselves withany questions, to please feel free in PMing a local admin. We're always willing to lend a helping hand.

As far as roleplay is concerned...

--Ginny Weasley has been alerted to Tonks' homecoming, and they find themselves sharing much needed feminine time in the early hours of the morning. Their sisterly bond showing through with bright and brilliant colors.

--The night of Tonks' homecoming, she was greeted by an old friend, Remus Lupin. A pleasant surprise, and perhaps much needed sage advice.

--Nicholai Katharevousa has just formed an introduction with his charge; Vladimir Tristescu, an arrogant but bright pupil, and eyes armed in daggers. A battle of wits?

--Harry and Ginny had found themselves sharing a more private moment by the fire side. Harry, after much self overview, found that he truly missed the company which was Ginny Weasley and has invited her to come along with the Trio in their plot to venture to Godric's Hollow.

--Hermione, Ron, and Harry find themselves diving into rather deep conversation, and coming to the conclusions that they really need not be so consumed with the Rainy Day Blues and the constant observation provided by the Order memebers.

--Remus and Eleiun have been baracaded in her room to talk of a plan in which to bring back Albus Dumbledore. Secrets found in her father's long hidden journal, and a key part in all of this is Remus' childhood nemisis, Nicholai Katharevousa.

--Sascha and Voldemort converse within the Dark Lord's private chambers, but what evils lurk on the tongues of serpents, we may not know until it is too late.

--Gideon Campbell and Anne Lydale, make talks of wandering the streets of Hogsmeade, but given the current status, this may be a plan that is the key ingredient for disaster.

--In the Leaky Cauldron, Malcom Proudfoot finds himself engaged in a bit of awkawrd discourse, given his current status of aloofness. Will the doleful Iona sway from him a lengthy talk or will she recieve the cold shoulder?

--It's three to tango in The Skull and Sword, where Eleiun, Sascha and Junius find themselves in a rather awkward position. Will Eleiun get the bite? Will Juni get his man? Will Sascha walk away a satisfied vampire?

--All work and no play makes Gideon a very unhappy boy. Thusly the office antics which he creates for his fellow co-worker Alex O'Burke. One must wonder will she take the bait of this playboy or turn a cold shoulder?

--Kate Elden and Junius Page trapse around the Muggle world of Covent Garden to take in the sites, the sounds, the merchandise...the ink.

Once again everyone, wonderful job. I'm so glad to see the site flourishing with so many colorful side plots. Each one an important thread in our grand tapestry, and making for those little things, that in the end are everything.

You're all brilliant. Thank youso much for the hard work and dedication, keep it up!

[Or Nicholai will come and devour your soul...]
