Yup, I've got the dates! Sorry I didn't announce them sooner, but we were trying to think of the best way and with admins on holiday and such it was harder to communicate than usual.
Nevertheless, we have dates!
On August 10th we shall open a forum (Wizarding World probably) called 'The Journey to Hogwarts'. They'll be a topic for the platform, the train ride and the carriage ride (and one for the boat ride for first years). Remember, Prefects patrol the corridors on the train!
On August 17th the train ride shall end. However, the Start of Term Feast shall commence! There will be a subforum in the Main Hall (so normal mealtime topics don't get muddled up with it).
((THE BATTLE WILL ALSO END AT THIS DATE, IF NOT BEFORE.))
On August 24th Hogwarts will open! You can roleplay anywhere around Hogwarts. Prefects, post in common rooms lots and be active. Quidditch Captains, get your teams ready and start to organise practises! The Start of Term Feast shall end.
On September 1st Professors shall start their classes (if you start it a day or two late, no worries, you just can't start them before the 1st).
