The Sorting Ceremony (and other sign-ups)

[courageous_wit]

All right everybody, it's the sign-ups you've all been waiting for: The Sorting Ceremony! Please place your character's name under the appropriate subject heading. Giving their year isn't necessary unless you want it for reference. If you are signing up to be a teacher, please indicate which subject your character will be teaching. Furthermore, if your character is playing Quidditch, let me know what position!

There is the added bonus of signing up to be a prefect. This is available for all students in their fifth year and above. Basically the prefects guide the younger students around and try to help them. You also get special bathroom privileges!

A little bit about Quidditch, for those who don't know: it's a very popular game in the wizard world, played on broomsticks. There are a total of seven players on each team: three Chasers (do the scoring), two Beaters (try to knock the opposing team off their brooms), one Keeper (guarding the goals) and one Seeker (finding the Snitch). The Snitch is the smallest ball in play and the game won't be over until the Snitch is caught. There can be more than seven players, but try to keep a balanced team in mind. Don't everybody try to be a Chaser or Seeker.

Remember that the teaching and staff positions are: History of Magic, Astronomy, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Divinations, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies, Herbology, Broomstick Instructor/Quidditch Referee, School Nurse, Caretaker, Groundskeeper. Defense Against the Dark Arts will not be available for plot purposes. Don't worry if not all teaching positions are filled!

Also, because Ang reminded me, there is also available the chance to be a Head of House. That is one teacher responsible for all the students in a certain House.

Teachers and Staff

[courageous_wit]

Transfiguration

[savethedarkness]

Because Maggie Smith's RL BFF is the next best thing, right?

Also, may I request her as Head of Slytherin?

Broomstick Instructor/Quidditch Referee

[greatesthitman]

Yeah, Reborn doing this is the best plan ever. Oh god what am I doing, I feel bad for everyone.

Groundskeeper

[heal_theworld]

Because this woman and giant killer trees go hand in hand. Also vicious magical creatures.

School Nurse

[atrophied]

be afraid. be very afraid.

Muggle Studies

[onlyanapple]

Anthony Crowley.

Herbology

[ino]

I'd like Ino to be Herbology teacher if possible??

Care of Magical Creatures

[save_the_souls]

Because why not make his life worse with even MORE vicious animals!

I'd be fine with multiple people getting this spot or having/being an assistant because let's be real- Allen will probably need assistance.

Re: Care of Magical Creatures

[radiantwingedone]

Assist the blind teacher who totally didn't lose his sight to a mean creature?

If you want-

[save_the_souls]

Yes! I'd be all for that!

You can tell where the creatures are by the sound of your assistance's yelps.

[radiantwingedone]

.... Don't chew on him, there's something else for you to chew-

/sigh-

Care of Magical Creatures

[honeytoes]

Room for another assistant?

[save_the_souls]

I think so? If Duke-mun is down with it as the teacher, then so am I!

[radiantwingedone]

If you want! If you've made other plans because I'm terrible at noticing things, I'm really sorry-

[honeytoes]

He hasn't made any plans so thank you :-)

Woohoo Gary gets to fuck around with magical creatures again!

Ancient Runes

[ofthursday]

Castiel, because he gets to draw ancient magical symbols. It's his favorite thing.

EDIT: Late but if no one's claimed head of Hufflepuff, I will volunteer Cas. c:

History of Magic

[thraxios]

Man, totally put that in the wrong place. OOPS. Anyway, Gideon as History of Magic professor, and if he could be head of Ravenclaw, that would be BAMF.

Astronomy

[banshee_rider]

Kelly-087 reporting for duty! Who better to teach the stars than one who's traveled between them? B)

Defense Against the Dark Arts

[lord_wizard]

Semi-tenative claim on the position, if that's ok. I haven't heard back from some castmates, but I'd really like Felix to have this class :3

I will let you know prior to the plot start if this changes.

[courageous_wit]

That's the one position not available, due to plot purposes. He's free to take any other unclaimed posts, though.

[lord_wizard]

oh :( If that was up there before and I missed it I am sorry I'm really scatterbrained today.

In that case, I'll claim Divinations.

Charms

[ensorceler]

Because they can be fashionable and useful.

Re: Teachers and Staff

[strangewonders]

Howl goes here, I guess, because I don't want him to be a student. He'll teach... something. If he can be bothered... or all his classes can get canceled, IDK.

Potions

[rightchoices]

-- though he'll probably be the worst Potions teacher on the planet.

Arithmancy

[courageous_wit]

Hermione Granger, and possibly Head of Gryffindor.
