Sorry for being silent the past few days everyone.  Classes have gotten a bit more involved, so I was a bit more preoccupied than I would have liked.  I have still been working on moving things along, however!  So, I thought that I'd share my thoughts so far.

First of all, I think that it would be a good idea for everyone to communicate what their character would have done leading up to the class itself so that we maintain some consistency between our posts.  While this isn't a huge deal, I figured that it might make it somewhat easier for people to post what their character was doing leading up to the class.

The way that I'm currently planning on structuring the class post is as follows:
[list][*]Orientation
[*]Lecture on the Fundamentals of Magic
[*]Demonstration of Abilities
[/list]
The orientation component will just consist of the Headmaster introducing themselves to the new students and the handing out of the student manual, which will contain all of the rules and regulations of the Guild.  Then the mentor of the House will take over and teach the first class.  This lecture will be focused largely on providing everyone with a basic academic understanding of magic, like how one can use magic and how the Schools of Magic are set up.  Finally, the students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their current level of ability with their magic to their peers and mentors.  While a fun and lighthearted event, this is also a way for the teachers to determine which students might need extra assistance outside of class.  Once the class is entirely finished, the students will be able to head to the dining halls for dinner before retiring to their dormitory.

Also, I was thinking that it might be neat to do a bit of a collaboration with the actual lecture component of the class so that some students can ask questions and what not.  If you think you might be interested in that, let me know and we can set something up.  It won't be a full on collaboration, but it would provide you with the opportunity to interact at least a little during the lecture.  I'm planning on having this post up by Saturday evening at the latest, so make to talk to me before that if you're interested.

As for house colors, I'm going to go ahead and go with the following combination:
