House Champions

We did it! It's official! Ravenclaw has won the house championship for HSKS6. How EXCITIING! What a great group to be in this term. It definitely was a team effort all term long.

This just goes to show that TEAMWORK really does pay off in the end. Way to go Ravenclaws. That tropy sure does look good in our Common Room.

My owl Snowy is on her way to Mona Ravenscroft as we speak. She had a LONG journey but I know that she'll make it. She's made the long trip across the Atlantic twice before. I can't wait to hear that Mona has received her package. I hope that she likes it.

I plan to come back for HSKS7 and no House Scholarship for me this next term. I've found my home in Ravenclaw.

Back from Sick Call

Well, I'm finally back to Hogwart's after an extended stay in Germany. I have some new high powered iron pills and hopefully now I'll stop being so tired all the time and able to concentrate on my studies!

Now I'm off to see what I've missed in the past week or so. I'm sure I have a LOT of catching up to do!

What's Ailing me?

I went to the infirmary today with a few complaints and I baffled Madam Pomfrey. It appears that I've acquired some ailment that magic can't fix so I'm off to the Muggle Hospital to see if they can figure this out.

I'll keep you all posted. Oh, by the way Olivia and Kitty - It's not contagious! LOL.

Quidditch Round 2 - and a heartfelt THANK YOU!

Since we didn't have a Scavenger Hunt this round we decided it would be a good idea to post a picture of our favorite character. I actually have two -

Ron Weasley and Snape.




We also were asked about our favorite magical creatures. Well, this one is a little harder for me because I haven't become really attached to any of the creatures in the books. I do have an unbelieveable attachment to this fellow though.



That's Max the Dog in his Halloween costume a few years ago.

And just a quick update, the dinner party was a HUGE success. I put my guests in to a food coma! That cheesecake gets 'em every time!
