Third Year Schedule

This schedule is for all houses and all extra curricular activities. From this you should be able to glean what your characters' individual schedule looks like.

BOLD = Double

Each block contains the length of one class.

For extra curriculars, the color blocks indicate length of time the class takes up.

Gryffindor
Slytherine
Hufflepuff
Ravenclaw

This was thrown together in a fit of madness by Pwnz0rz Man and Goosies Moosies.

Average Schedule Based on Student Age/Year

First Years:
Astronomy
Charms
DA/DA
Herbology
Potions
Transfiguration


(I believe Flying is a required course for first years, but must be a once a week/every two weeks kind of class)

Second Years:
Same core classes
Students choose two (or more with permission) elective classes over Easter holidays
Electives Available to Second Years:
Ancient Runes
Arithmancy
Care of Magical Creatures
Divination
Muggle Studies


Third Years:
Students required to continue core classes
May drop and elective, must add two or more new electives

Fourth Years:
Same as Third Years,
Continue Cores
May drop and elective (special circumstances may acquire another elective)
Preparation for OWLs

Fifth Years:
Same as 4th Year
Core Classes
May drop elective
OWLs in June

Sixth Years:
Do not know classes until results of OWLs
Upon return of results a student may consider what they would like to study
Student meets with head of house on first day of term to determine what they will take for the year
- if student fails OWLs they must discuss options with their head of house
- if student passes OWL in determined subject, they can choose if they would like to continue taking classes in determined course or not

Seventh Years:
TAG: There is very little on a wizard's seventh year, so this is all conjecture

Same courses as 6th year, but harder and most likely more specialized depending on what each wizard chooses to study.
(I imagine there is also a course regarding how to find jobs after graduation)

NEWTs in June


TAG: Every year finals are in June, beside 5th and 7th year when students take the OWLs and NEWTs (respectively)

OWLs:
Taken by 5th years
Required to take an OWL for each subject taken 5th year (such it is recommended not to start a new elective 5th year)
placement exam to see if you are able to continue studying certain subjects

Grading Scale -

Outstanding (O)
Exceeds Expectations (E)
Acceptable (A)

Poor (P)
Dreadful (D)
Troll (T)

NEWTs:
Taken by 7th years
Required for each class taken 7th year
Most likely used to apply for jobs, higher education, etc.

Books 1-7

MADE UP PROFESSORS AND SHORT BIOS:

Arithmancy/Oliver Teague

Middle aged. Brilliant. Fairly solitary and quiet, but very passionate about his subject. Takes pride in students who choose a career involving Arithmancy. Pays close attention to those with an aptitude for the subject. (i.e. definitely plays favorites)

He is not traditionally handsome, but he's not ugly either. Dark hair, clean shaven, half-blood so sometimes wears muggle clothing with his robes. Wears large thick framed glasses. Keeps his shoes extra, extra shiny. Students joke about his shoes.

Divination/ Lingsen Dramwell

Rather old, but indeterminably so. Eccentric and well read. He can always tell when a student is lying (whether or not that has to do with his divination skills is unknown, he's just never been wrong when he shouts at someone that they're lying). Doesn't seem to know any of his student's names.

He is generally wearing so many robes no one can tell if he has a hunch, but it appears that he does. His robes are too short so you can see his ankles and his choice of eccentric sandals. He is only about 5' 3" at the top of his hump. Presumably he doesn't wear clothes underneath his many robes.

Muggle Studies/ Patricia Dudd

~60 years old. Kind and very boring. Presumably she is a squib, as no one has ever seen her use magic, but she is very knowledgeable in History of Magic and Muggle Studies. While her knowledge of Muggle life is accurate, it is very outdated (she still thinks the muggles live like it's 1890-1912) and just started teaching about the Titanic. She teaches about this for at least three years before moving on - she continues to reference the titanic as though it is one of the defining moments is muggle history until the day she retires. She knows Hogwarts a History by heart, as well as every other history textbook involving any wizard or muggle. Wanted Binns' job, but as he is dead and will continue the post until further notice, she was given Muggle Studies.

She is an averaged sized witch and wears average robes. She is bland in appearance and gate. Her voice is sweet like candy, and her classes are generally interesting. Her personality is completely bland and uninteresting, but people like her very much.

This post will be used to keep track of the most recent things that have happened in the RP, so if we have to leave it for a bit and pick back up we have a quick reference of what recently happened.
