A Couple of Questions

Ooh, I just completed the 20 posts and a Report Card option appeared on the dropdown under my profile, so I'm assuming I've completed that requirement? And it has homework on there, is that what I have to complete before I can move up to the next school year, or is graduating the year and moving up unrelated to that?

How do we unlock classes? I have heard some people mention them, and I have seen that it is being registered for 10 days and having 20 posts or something like that, but i am not quite sure.

What are the title things by people's names? I believe they're called 'functions', but I am not quite sure. For example, mine is 'First year, Slytherin', but I've seen a bunch of different ones, like 'writer', 'dueler', etc. I just didn't really know what they meant or how people got them!

What are the Every Flavour Beans and the Chocolate Frog things(I've read the series and watched the movie and everything so I know what they are, just not in HiO or how to get them here!).

And lastly, how is everyone's autumn/spring going(northern vs southern hemisphere, right now for me it's autumn and I'm loving the cooler weather!)? Hope everyone is doing great!

Thank you so much!

Welcome to H.io Rosie! I’m so happy you decided to join us!

To answer your questions:

1. You’re right! Classes are unlocked after 10 days of validation (being registered on site according to your profile) and having at least 20 posts. (Games’ Room does not count towards those posts, but your house games do!)

2. The things by people’s names are their roles! For example, I’m on the Quidditch team, so I have Quidditch Player with my year and house. The same happens for people on the Headliner team (writers), duelists, and broom racers! There are also others, but those are staff roles

3. Every flavor beans are beans you can collect and they change every six hours. There is a thread called “Every Flavor Beans Location” where people post the location of the bean and you can collect it! Frogs can be purchased I believe at Honeydukes in Hogsmeade which requires you to purchase a Fake Permission form from Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. Once you have that you can purchase frogs and have fun collecting the cards!

4. My autumn is going well so far. Lots has been happening which can get exhausting, but overall it’s been well. The temperature varies a lot here as some days are 80 degrees (Fahrenheit) while others are in the 20s-30s (Fahrenheit).

If you have any more questions, never hesitate to reach out and owl me! I’d love to answer any questions you have!

That’s amazing! Homework is completely optional on here and is the way you can earn free spells you would otherwise have to purchase as well as house points if you are doing the homework for your current year. (This rule about points not sent for older years doing younger years homework only applies to older years, so you’re fine!) Moving up a year is different. Every July 1st as long as you’re in the official index, you will be moved up a year.

Upon checking when you were registered, you’re all good to start on homework! Good luck and please make sure to keep anonymity while doing your assignments! (This means don’t reference your character’s name or year or house. I recommend just using I or something generic for RPs. You can also use a pseudonym if you state it before an RP in homework.)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the answers! And I get the whole weather thing, we had 80(F) degree weather for a while, now we have 30/40 ish, one time it almost snowed, it's just been weird!

Hello and welcome Rosalyn!! Avery Gray helped you out already, but I just wanted to let you know that if you have any specific questions, you can always post them here on the FAQ forum!

Also, if you needed more guided help, you can apply for the mentorship program. Our mentors are always there to help and can assist you in creating your encyclopedia and getting enrolled in the index. Being indexed allows you to participate in sports and graduate when summer rolls around.

Also, my fall has been lovely. I'm definitely ready for winter.
