[B]Rules:[/b]
-No godmodding, controlling other characters etc
-GM might do time skips every now and then, only to move on the plot
-When posting IC, to start off with, let everyone post their introductions before posting again. Once it begins, leave at least two other posts in between yourself
-PG-13
-Please post all character sheets ready for acceptance here in the OOC first and then post it again in the Character tab once accepted, just so it keeps tidy. Add 'I Solemnly Swear I'm Up To No Good' to your CS if you read the rules
-For now, I'm only going to allow three descendants of original Harry Potter characters. They must be at least grandchildren, no closer related. You can reserve a character if you'd like, I'll allow it as long as you post the CS soon enough after.
-Have fun, no arguments, be nice!

If you think I missed anything out or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask![/center]
