Thanks to Jess we have a great Daily Prophet this week!
THE DAILY PROPHET
As you all know, the school year is upon us, growing ever closer to us. If you would like information on a particular thing, view below:
1. House Points 2. Quidditch
3. Yule Ball 4. Prefects, Head Boys/Girls and Head of Houses?!
5. Meet the Teachers 6. Newbie Packs and Diagon Alley 7. Upcoming Events
8. Congratulations 9. Closer 1. House Points At this point of time the Hufflepuff House is pretty far in the lead for this amazing competition, which determines the winners of the House Cup. Next in the line up is Ravenclaw with Gryffindor breathing down their backs. Finally is the Slytherin House, which is very far behind all the other houses. Youd better get to referring people and hope they end up in your house! To check exactly how many House Points you have, check the website under the House Points section.
2. Quidditch When the school year starts, so will Quidditch, the ultimate wizards sport. The spots on the teams are filling up very quickly. There are only three positions open on the Gryffindor team and two on both the Hufflepuff and the Ravenclaw teams. Now if you are in Slytherin, good news for you because with a house with so few students, there is still a whole team to fill up, so get on it! For practice schedules check your common room and for a spot on the team neomail Headmistress Carly (legoli_greenleaf) and shell approve it with your Head of House. If you dont have one, Carly herself may give you the spot. But remember you may only get that spot if its open. Also remember to give it your all and your team may just win the Quidditch Cup!
3. Yule Ball
September Fifth is the set date for the Yule Ball. The Yule Ball is to celebrate the beginning of the new school year. Remember that you cannot go unless you have a date for this dance and also that the boys must ask the girls.
Remember to donate items that can be used for this for party favors and stuff. Donate to kimontoavalon41101 and shell create the party favors and other fun things just for this occasion. Any excess items will go straight to Head Mistress Carly for donation trades to help improve the guild.
4. Prefects, Head Boys/Girls, and Head of Houses?! Now prefects, head boys, and head girls are sweeping, or flying, throughout the Hogwarts Hallways, but now we have a new addition to our family of positions, Head of House. Head of Houses are just like Professor McGonagall for Gryffindor, Professor Sprout for Hufflepuff, and Snape for Slytherin. At this point of time the only Head of House is Professor Alex Gold for Hufflepuff. To reach this point you have to become a Prefect, become a Head Boy/Girl, then request to be Head of House. Hurry or you may miss your chance.
Gryffindor needs a Head Boy and Head Girl plus a Head of House while Ravenclaw lays the exact same way for now. Slytherin needs everything, a boy and a girl Prefect, a Head Boy and a Head Girl, AND a Head of House, so if your in Slytherin it should be easy to get a position and quickly move up, especially since you have very little competition for now.
5. Meet the Teachers
So, before the school year starts I felt you should know about the teachers at Hogwarts, you know the 411 on whose teaching what this year. Now we have a completely new and improved, not to mention wonderful, staff this year. Professor Matt (da_bomb_harry_) is teaching Defense Against Dark Arts and Potions while both Astronomy and Occulmency are being taught by Professor Lexy (lexy_22). Marissa (li_hing_girl) is taking care of Transfiguration and Herbology and you cant forget watsupsoyay whom is teaching Care of Magical Creatures and Charms. The classes of Muggle Studies and History of Magic are being taught by myself , Professor Erin Victoria J. Saray while doggie_lover98052 is going to be cramming Divination and Flying into your heads. Finally Zjer is going to teach Arithmancy.
Plus, even if shes not a teacher anymore, Headmistress Carly (legoli_greenleaf) is the founder and, of course, amazing headmistress of this wonderful establishment. It is to my personal experience that all of these teachers are nice, but take there job seriously, but remember that none are like Snape.
6. Newbie Packs and Diagon Alley
Onto further news, Newbie Packs are now out. The contributor of these gift packs for new members is kimontoavalon41101 and she will update them as much as she can. The only catch is you have to have been in the guild for a week, at least, before you may have one. Then offer any item on the Newbie Pack trade.
Also Diagon Alley and the school list of requirements are both up and running perfectly fine. You can find the link to both on the web page in working order. Diagon Alley is Headmistress Carlys (legoli_greenleaf) shop and you use neopoints, so its less complicated for everybody. 7. Upcoming Events
Soon, as soon as I (forget_me_not_248) raise enough
neopoints for it, the guild will be having a paintbrush giveaway (Headmistress Carly will be deciding what kind of paintbrush). To donate, but for m shop and/or make offers on my trades. Items will be sold and all neopoints offered/received by sales will be added to my paintbrush bank, which has about 26,000 neopoints so far.
Also you cant forget about the Triwizard Tournament. For the first time ever in this guild, three champions chosen by the Goblet of Fire will compete in the spectacular three-part competition of brains, brawn, logic, and most of all, magic.
To enter, check the web site under the Triwizard Tournament section. The chosen three will be announced after the Hogwarts school year begins, which is September First. 8. Congratulations I would like to take this section to say Congratulations to a few people:
1. Headmistress Carly (Gryffindor) for this wonderful guilds great success. 2. To Professor Lexy of Hufflepuff for being the first to reach the honorable position of Head of House (not to mention the only so far). 3. To _da_bomb_harry_ (Hufflepuff) for becoming Head Boy along side myself as new Head Girl.
4. To the whole Hufflepuff house for being ahead in the House Cup. Keep it up! 5. All the members of this guild for being so great! Good Luck to everybody Who knows, your name could end up here!
9. Closing
