History of Magic: The Real Reason Why (Term XXI, Activity #01) VOTING



Activity: The Real Reason Why
Points: 1st/2nd/3rd/Participation Only: 50/40/30/10 points
Deadline: Voting ends on Thursday, September 29th @ 21:59 UTC (timezone converter).
Details: YES, Voting again. I compeltely screwed up the entry numbers in the first voting post (thank you [livejournal.com profile] green_queen for pointing it out!) and relaized too late, so here it is again. Everyone who voted in the last entry will get voting points, of course.
Professor Binns has happily arrived back to Hogwarts, thanks to you, and has decided to try and make his class a bit more interesting. Hopefully it'll work! Choose a Muggle Historical event and find a Magical explanation of at least 50 words for why it happened. Example: Why did the Titanic REALLY sink?

You will get 2 points for voting as always (even if you've voted before as well); and please don't vote for yourself or ask others to vote for you!

Divination Club: Corrupt a Prediction - RESULTS!





Activity: Corrupt a Prediction!
Points: Repetitive Activity: Participation & Additional comments: 2pts. 30pts limit.
Scenario: Did you ever wonder why Professor Trelawney makes such outrageous predictions all the time? It turns out that her forecasts are usually accurate to a degree, but some unforseen twist always sneaks in to spoil the context. We're going to have some fun with that right now!


First off, a massive thank you to everyone who participated in this activity. A nice healthy turnout came from this (nearly 600 comments! Good grief, Charlie Brown). Turns out there were a devilish number of prophecies made that didn't quite come to fruition. But let's see what happened with the scores, hmm?
