Congratulations on a happy ending! Now that Hogwarts' identity is out in the open, what is Beauxbatons code for and is "powder blue" a clue? And can you share how you found out you received a bid? Thanks, good luck, and best wishes.

Congratulations to you and SDT!!! This was a great thread, thank you so much for sharing. I rarely get into these recruitment threads, but I've read every post! You are a wonderful, creative, and thoughtful writer.

Yes indeed!
Since I've been through recruitment now and I'm done, I may as well tell you all: my family is such a mixed family in terms of UCLA/USC. I have two uncles and one went to each; my mother went to UCLA and my dad went to USC. I have a cousin who did undergrad at UCLA and grad at USC. I'm the sixth in my immediate family to go to USC and, if we're counting any relation as a "legacy," I am a megaleg to USC (I'm the eighth in my family to be a Trojan!).
The weirder thing: my mother tried to colonize SDT at UCLA (I think it went in and out at UCLA...I don't know. If anyone knows about how that went, she was involved during the period when they bought the house), but it never got off the ground.
Again, thank you all so much for following my story!
