●Probably if you are reading this means that you decided on being a student at Hogwarts.
-The first thing you should do is to actually sort yourself at the “The Sorting Ceremony” There you will be sent to one of the four houses :Hufflepuff,Gryffindor ,Slytherin or Ravenclaw.

●At the beginning, every student receives 150 galleons as pocket money given to him or her by his or her family in order to buy the books and equipment required for studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. One of the first things you should do if you're a student is to visit the shops onDiagon Alley and buy everything you need there.

●Each of the 4 houses have a common room located in different places of the castle.You can enter only the room of the house where you’ve been sorted too .

Chapter III-How to move up to the next year
●In order to move up to the next year you must be a very active member of your house.

●During each term break(spring,summer,fall,winter) we create a special thread where you can post to get to the next year

●You have to earn at least 100 points during that term to get to the next year. If you didn’t get 100 points for your house you won’t be able to post in that thread.

●During each term you can move up a maximum of 2 years if you earned the required 200 points . But that’s your decision .If you are already 5th year you will be able to move up only 1 year.
Example:
Year 1/2/3/4 – can move up 2 years for 200 points/term
Year 5/6- can move up only 1 year for 100 points/term

Chapter IV-How to earn House Points and Galleons
●Earning house points it’s really easy .There are many ways to do it .The most traditional method is to go at classes(and probably the fastest way to earn points) .Based on your answers to the lessons and the quality of your homework you can get points.

●Another way is to be part of the Quidditch Team .If your team wins ,each player gets 50 points + 100 Galleons

●You can participate at different events(that will be announced during the term).They will bring you both money and points

●If you are a graphic designer just fill requests from “Graphic Request Thread”.You get 20 points for each signature/avatar you made.

●Don’t forget ,if you have a rude behavior at classes or in the school ,points can be deducted from your house

●Sadly there aren’t to many available jobs for a student .The only one available is editor for the wizarding newspaper .But there are many events where you can earn money.

●All the money you earn can be spent on the Diagon Alley.

●The salary is given at the end of the month .For that all the student are asked to reply to the Monthly Salary Topic at Gringotts Bank You have all information about how to do it in this thread .Very important!

Chapter V-How to play Quidditch
●Each house has it’s own quidditch team that you can join.

●A complete guide about this game can be found at this Thread

Chapter VI-Exams
●There are 2 main exams in the wizarding World : O.W.L and N.E.W.T but during the year you can get test papers from the professors of each class.
