Welcome to the Eris server for Muggleborns of the upcoming Hogwarts class! We at Hogwarts recognize this is a particularly daunting transition and are committed to making the adjustment as smooth as possible. As people with feet in both worlds, you play an invaluable role in building a bridge between Muggles and mages, one that our society will treasure. I'm Charity Burbage, your friendly neighborhood Muggle Studies professor and newly appointed official Muggleborn counselor. I encourage you to seek me out if you have any issues when you get to Hogwarts. This is a forum for you to discuss any issues you might have so they can be handled appropriately. This discussion is moderated by yours truly, so please refrain from any foul language!
Presently in the chat:
Hermione Granger
Justin Flynn-Fletchley
Kellah DiMarco
Roger Malone
Kellah Ooh, I'm so excited about starting Hogwarts! My parents always thought there was something special about me. Course my Aunt Patricia always thought I was possessed by the Devil, but, hey, what the heck does she know?
Roger I don't know. I'm a little concerned about what I've been hearing about how Muggleborns are treated. Is it really worth it?
Justin Are you daft? It's magic. How can it not be worth it?
Hermione There's nothing we can't accomplish with grit and ingenuity. If people have reservations about us, then we just need to prove to them we're better than they are.
Kellah *rolls eyes* Sure, Hermione. Sure. Glad to see everything is sunshine and roses for you. Some of us know it's always an uphill climb.
Roger All right, all right, let's not fight about this. Change of subject: Am I the only person who's reading Harry Potter's blog? He's hilarious! Though I am a bit concerned about his home life. Are we quite sure it's safe there?
Hermione I had my parents make an official complaint to child services. I'm sure something will be done. My parents don't give up easily.
Justin I think it's hilarious how everyone has all these high expectations for Harry and all he wants out of life is to run a fish and chips shop.
Kellah Ten to one, he's going to absolutely freak when he learns how famous he is.
Roger I still don't understand how anything he's been writing is in any way legal. Isn't the Statute of Secrecy a thing? Surely he can't be above the law just because he's famous, not a law like this. We all know that if the government learns about us, we'll be experimented on. I'd quite like to avoid that.
Kellah Roger, you are a dead man walking if you turn in Harry Potter. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but I'm telling you right now: no one is to say a word about his blog to anyone not in the know. Or I'll come after you. I'm not going to let some goody two shoes ruin things.
Hermione I don't know why I had the distinct feeling everyone was looking at me. We're doing this over text! But, well, as loathe as I am to countenance illegal behavior, I do enjoy his blog entries. Anyway, I'm sure this matter is being handled at the highest levels. I'd prefer to stay uninvolved.
Justin That's probably the best we're going to get. Did you hear the potions teacher and head of Slytherin got sacked? Apparently, he's been extremely unprofessional in the classroom. They brought in some Irish guy to replace him as potions teacher. O'Neill, I think. The astronomy teacher, Professor Sinistra, is going to be the new head of Slytherin.
Kellah With a name like that, you've got to wonder what she's hiding. A little on the nose, don't you think?
Roger Well, her first name is Aurora, so I'd say that's a lot more on the nose.
Hermione I'm sure Professor Sinistra is going to be a fine head of Slytherin.
Kellah *makes cough that sounds like teacher's pet*
Hermione I'm sorry, but I know what it's like to have people look at you weird because your name! I don't like it!
Kellah Oh. Right, sorry. Good point.
Justin Anyone else heard the rumor the Philosopher's Stone is being kept at Hogwarts?
Hermione Don't be silly, Justin; that's completely daft.
