Welcome to ![]() Common rooms: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Headmaster Dumbledore, I know that Aberforth is quite fond of goats. What is your favourite animal? Get Your Goat in Gryffindor Dearest Gryffindor, Whilst my brother has a certain fondness for animals that I cannot begin to come close to, I myself do have a few favourite animals. Because you are a Gryffindor, I will assume that you have been to my office for an official "stern talking to," at least once during your tenure at Hogwarts. I do love my phoenix, but I have always wanted a unicorn... In fact, I shall go and travel to another painting of Brian the Barmy, as a unicorn wandered there last night and awoke all the portraits on the fourth floor. Kindly, Albus Dumbledore, Unicorn Lover. Dear Dumbledore, There are many 'ships surrounding your wonderful school, ones including yourself even, and I was wondering if you had a favorite. Professor, what would you consider your One True Pairing? OTPuff Dear OTPuff, I am blushing harder than ever at being considered part of a true pairing (or multiple, which does defeat the purpose, does it not?). I try not to get into the romantic affairs of my students, as that would be a conflict of interest, though I do enjoy the occasional midnight stroll and accidental happening upon student trysts. If you are seeking privacy, students, don't go to any of the high towers. Ah, right, back to the question. My one true pairing would have to be... Gilderoy/Mirror. It works itself out nicely and no one gets hurt in the end. Kindly, Albus Dumbledore

![]() ![]() By The term is drawing to a close, and I am sure most of you are powered out from a busy weekend at Hogsmeade and/or working on earning some last-minute points. Nevertheless, for those quiet moments in between, or for when you need to take a break, I am bringing you some ![]() ![]() ![]() Things are much more lively at ![]() Or maybe a smutty H/D? And with that, I shall close the last Writing Spotlight of Term XIV. I am looking forward to more great writing in the coming term. ![]() ![]() ![]() By I have followed Daily Deviant and Hump Day Smut over my years in the HP fandom, and I honestly thought I'd seen it all. However, one of our fanartists has managed to render me speechless. Congratulations, ![]() What makes it the most fascinating is the detail. The expression on Lucius' face, Aragog's eyes and leg hair... (And for anyone who actually wants the higher rated stuff, just read If that's not your cup of tea, try ![]() There's been quite a lot of activity in ![]() ![]() Congratulations to all of the winners for Challenge 14 and 15 at ![]() It's been great fun admiring all the beautiful artwork that was posted this term and getting to write about it. There are some truly wonderful artists in this community, and I hope you keep up the good work! |
![]() By As we wind up the term over at ![]() ![]() The scavenger hunts results for August were awesome! August Scavenger Hunt #2: "Whatever" found Gryffindor first, Ravenclaw second, Slytherin third, and Hufflepuff last. Scavenger Hunts 3 & 4 "International Superhits" & "Obscure Shops" found the Lions in first for both, as well as the Eagles in second for both. Hufflepuff and Slytherin alternated placing in third and fourth. August Scavenger Hunt #5: "THE END" is a graphic collage of what HiH means to you, so check that out before August 30th, but be sure and post between midnight and 8AM, during your local insomniac hours. Until next term, I leave you with words by F. Scott Fitzgerald: "It appears that every man's insomnia is as different from his neighbor's as are their daytime hopes and aspirations." ![]() By The term has been winding down, with activities ending and results posting, and as a result, the Animagus community has been very quiet over the past two weeks. I'm sure we're all anxiously awaiting the results to the Pack Collages activity, and at the time of posting, the Animagus potentials! But that doesn't mean we can't raise a ruckus over the new additions! Say hello to: Welcome to the forest, you guys! As mentioned last issue, Become an Animagus! We have a super-secret club, awesome animal forms and bonus points and knuts! Purchase Miranda Goshawk's The Standard Book of Spells, vol. 1-5 from Flourish & Blotts, then fill in the application. The application also awards PACKMATES POINTS to any referee you mention, so find a friend who's particularly active and give him or her some extra points! |

![]() By ![]() Oh dear god, they're back again. Some of you have broken out into songs by the Backstreet Boys, others of you are probably agreeing because of this and the subsequent aftermath here. Why, yes, you have all been subject to a Gryffinprank. We hope you enjoyed your time and we would all like to let you know that anything that is borne of GryffChat is subject to dubious insanity and widespread approval within Gryffindor Tower TM. How could you all actually believe that WE, the house that Godric built, could forsake CAPSLOCK completely? Oh, silly houses. Onward and upward! The last two weeks brought about a great resurgence in Gryffindor power! This started with the sorting of the most recent and very active Gryffs: ![]() Oh my HOGSMEADE! Unlike Hogsmeade's past, this most recent Hogsmeade had a recurring theme: Gryffindor. Yes, that was the theme. Gryffindor participation increased by some number, but the main point is that it is UP indeed (that's what she said). S.P.E.W., Care of Magical Creatures, Insomniacs, ABC Story, Shutterbug, Sorted Challenge, Gladrags, Astronomy- A LOT of activities had Gryffindor wins, whether by placement or sheer volume. The term is almost over and the Gryffs are making their final push with posts from more than just the prefects telling everyone to participate. WE NEVER SLEEP. OVER AND OUT LIKE A CUB SCOUT. -Chary | ![]() By First of all – CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SLYTHERIN QUIDDITCH TEAM FOR WINNING THE QUIDDITCH CUP FOR THIRD TERM IN A ROW. Yes, indeed, how awesome is that? :D Just about as awesome as this: My dear Slytherin Quidditch Team, you rock our boat. :D Also, this past weekend Slytherins were buzzing in Hogsmeade, during which several interesting facts were revealed. First of all, whoever thought that Slytherins didn't have a sense of humour was seriously mistaken! It was also interesting to observe that The official positions for TERM XV have also been announced, and plenty of ambitious Slytherins have stepped up to the job. Please welcome your new Slytherin Prefects, ![]() We've also got plenty of new Slytherin Club leaders: please welcome |
