Would you like to see your banner here? Then come over to this post to find out how! Dear Dumbledore, I am a new student that just transferred to your fine teaching establishment. I was previously magic-homeschooled in Africa, but now I'm attending Hogwarts, and it's a bit overwhelming! Do you have any advice on how I should go about making friends and what I should do to fit in? I've heard that Ginny Weasley has her hair insured for $10,000 and that even though Harry Potter keeps flirting with me in Care of Magical Creatures Class, I shouldn't talk to him because he and Ginny are kind of a ~thing. By the way, is he really the Chosen One? I was sorted into Gryffindor and I started hanging out with Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Lavender Brown... I guess Ginny's kind of the queen Bee, Hermione's hair is so big because it's full of secrets, and Lavender once asked Neville how to spell orange. Are these girls good friends, or should I stick with Neville Longbotom and Luna Lovegood? They were just so nice to me on the first day of school and I have no idea what to do and I'd appreciate your advice. Confused Homeschooled Jungle-freak, Cady Heron Dear Draco, It is good to see you are watching muggle films. - Albus

The Ravenclaws members of Charms Club mastered Reverse Disillusionment and wrote festive Christmas cards for the DA. Gryffindor's got the Music Club's guessing games in their paws and showed their love for Transfiguration. The Puff Parade and Slytherin Snakes aren't far behind, with Yule Ball fashionistas and House Elf drabble experts, respectively. Let's keep this amazing momentum going, everyone!

Well, the answer is Y-O-U, so come join a club (or two or seven) and let magic into your life! ![]() Rumour has it that the Hufflepuff's are plotting to get points from one of our fearless leaders. So far, the plan consists of a large amount of alcohol and some smooth talking. Sounds like a fun time for all. On the other side of things a certain former mod and a current main mod are whispered to be very friendly with one another. Is there a romance blooming in the halls? Finally, a Gryffindor who is known for their Claw and Snake tendencies has found their way into the Hufflepuff chat. No one knows how they found out the name but they are getting a friendly welcome. Sounds like an exciting start to term. Witnessed something scandalous or have something juicy to see. Tell us here!

Term XIV, Issue 0X | |
![]() ![]() By Greetings HIH and welcome to a new term! Boy has it been an eventful few weeks in Godric's great house! First things first, I want to congratulate my housemates on being Quidditch Champions and for WINNING THE HOUSE CUP for Term Fifteen!!! What amazing accomplishments. Gryffindor participation was truly amazing this past term and I am so proud to be in this house! With the new term has come new challenges. We are currently in the process of finding two new prefects. We've also lost a few of our most involved members and they will be missed, however, something has happened during this time that is truly remarkable. With all the misinformation, hurt feelings, and speculation came something else - the real Gryffindor spirit has shone through. I’ve never seen so many true expressions of love, encouragement and hope in our Common Room as I have in the last few weeks. Gryffindors have stepped up to take over all our needs: activity reminders, social posts, birthday celebrations, spotlight posts, etc. I am really amazed by everyone. People have voiced their disagreements and faced them with love and compassion, taking responsibility for their mistakes. Bravo, Gryffindor! As of this writing, I don’t have a link to prefect voting, but if you haven’t done it yet, GO VOTE GRYFFINDORS! Several of our most dedicated members have stepped up to apply and I can’t wait to welcome our new prefects! We have lots of exciting things happening this term: The Gryff Fit Club is back, thanks to ![]() ![]() A word of welcome to our newcomers: There are many of you this term, and already we’re seeing your true colors. New cubs are jumping right in, joining us in chat and making their way. There’s lots to do, and a lot of confusion these days, but you are now part of a Let’s go for three terms in a row! ![]() ![]() By Welcome to another term in the Puff House! We're all super excited for the new activities and new people! Speaking of new people, we have had quite a few new badgers join the den, so some introductions are in order! Let's give a big Hufflepuff hello to Lauren// ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, our new prefects, Lauren// Also coming up in the Hufflepuff Common Room is a Movie Night led by Ing// Props go to the Hufflepuffs that won the Term XV HiH Awards! Congrats to Ing// ![]() That's all for this week. Keep sorting, keep doing those activities, and most of all- keep being those awesome Puffs we all love!!! | ![]() ![]() By ![]() Hello my dear Hogwartsians! So much has happened already in the land of Ravenclaw this term. Let me start off by welcoming the new additions to the Claw family since the new term started: Janelle/ ![]() In terms of Common Room entertainment, the Zombieclaw faction of the Tower recently set up a thrilling viewing party for a personal favorite of mine, Shaun of the Dead. More movie nights to come, Claws! A new term means a new CR layout, and the competition was fierce. Congratulations to Mary/ ![]() Once upon a time, there was a massively successful Viking Week that everyone in Ravenclawland enjoyed, so the Prefects in their infinite wisdom created Viking Raids. The first Raid was the Second Contest at ![]() In the category of "Ravenclaws = badasses," Claws have also shown strong participation in their favorite clubs and with fine results. Scarlet/ As always, keep up with voting at ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() By It's a new month, a new term, and a new year, and what better way to begin 2010 and Term XVI than with the much-anticipated Slytherin Section! Woohoo! I NEED TO HEAR YOU SLITHER, SNAKEYS. If you didn't know by now, the dungeons are once again headed by two veteran Slytherins, Annalisa ( Their first brilliant idea? Recruiting an Underboss and Consigliere to help manage our rambunctious little pythons and bring Our Noble House back to the TOP! Welcome Underboss What else is new at the Common Room? Our genious Prefects have devised a Pureblood Family Challenge which will test the Slytherins' ambition, skill, and craftiness. Activities for the so-called Cosca Challenges will be spaced out throughout the term, so watch out for them! (Even so, I feel like I have revealed too much. Let's hope I am not eliminated soon because of this...) Of course, the Snakes had a great showing in the past weeks' activities, and if I had to list them all down, we'd have a problem with space in the paper. (This is paid for, you know, by your Hogwarts tuition.) YOU DID AWESOME, GUYS, and I'm sure everyone's proud of where we are now. We will get that cup this term or else! And now this is where we shout out to all the new snakeys who have just recently joined us this month: Welcome to ![]() ![]() Oh, and by the way, don't forget to comment here if you don't want to be kicked out of the dungeons. That's it for this edition of the Slytherin Section, HiH! Until next time, when we bring you the latest inside information from-ooomph *is gagged, tied up, and thrown into a jail cell for revealing too much* |
