The packages are arriving and people are starting to pack up their trunks and head back to their muggle lives for the rest of the summer. This has been an exciting semester at Hogwart's...never a dull moment as usual.
My spoilee Avada Abraxam of Gryffindor received her package from me about a week ago and it seems as though she really enjoyed the contents and I am thrilled about that.
My spoiler Allitrya Spelling contacted me earlier this week to let me know that she had mailed my package and I'll be looking for it to arrive in a few weeks. I say a few weeks because it takes about that long for packages to make it from the muggle world to this magical land that I am living in.
I'll post pictures, most likely on the ravelry board when the kit arrives.
See you all in the fall for HSKS6.

Winding down
Snowy still hasn't made it to Avada, but I'm not worried. She had a lot of air to cover (Azerbaijan - Virginia - New Jersey). It would be nice if she'd arrive by the deadline of July 11th though.
This term is coming to a close already. It seems like it just started last week. We've had a lot of fun, and drama this term. I'm still trying to decide if I'll return to Hogwarts for HSKS6...
There's still plenty of time to decide. Til then, I've got another round of Quidditch to prepare for.

No homework lately
This has been an incredibly easy semester over here in Slytherin House. We've had NO homework for a few weeks. I've been keeping my mind sharp by doing the homework from the other houses. I don't want my brain to wither away to witch dust!
The halls have been fairly quiet all over Hogwarts in fact. I think it must be this summer term. Many students disappear for a week or so for family vacations or just a quiet get away. I'd like to get away for a little while myself.
