    I saw that you requested to join the Gryffindor Tower group - that group is part of this Hogwarts challenge. If you're interested in joining, please fill out the application in the link above!
    I have sent you a PM as well, but since we aren't MFP friends, I'm not sure that you will receive it. I hope that you see this notification!

    Sorry for the late reply! Yes, your application went through, house assignments will be done this weekend or Monday, and on Tuesday you will be notified which house you were sorted in. Your prefect will probably send you a friend invite first, and after you accepted it, a message with the information and links to the group. (Messages typically only go through it you are friend with the other person, so please make sure you'll check both your friend requests and messages).

    Looking forward to the new term! :)

    It looks like you are already a group member in the castle and your common room? If you have any more troubles, please let me know!

    No, not too late, don't worry!
    But all who applied since Monday - you will get your owl later in the week. We like to wait a bit after the first round of owls got out, to see if the houses are evenly filled (there are always a few students who don't join after all).
    You will get your invite on Friday or Saturday! (Please also check your friend requests, because typically you'll get a friend request first and then after accepting a message.)

    Hi, you are already a member in the castle group! You should see it listed under your groups in the community section?

    I just found this group again and filled out the application. Is there a wait list or room for nonparticipating ghosts like in the past?

    We don't have a wait list anymore, you should already have been contacted by a head girl, probably with a friend request. Please accept it and then you will get a message will all the relevant information. (You have to be friends to send messages.)

    I resent the message, and also sent you the invites to the castle and your common room. :)

    Late applications are totally fine! We are only in the third week, so it does make sense to join now, instead of waiting for the next term! :)
