I asked Prof. Anya Chutney to return to the Head Office, and with great regret I must announce that she said yes.
So now she will be watching all of you and if you don't behave properly, she will make your life miserable.
WELCOME BACK ANYA!!!
Again, as I had no inspiration for a graphic, here are some lyrics:
Anya was a HoH who thought she was free
But she knew it wouldn't last.
Anya left her job at the Head Office
For some Hufflepuff sweets.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Are you a Pure Blood wizard, a Half-Blood, or a Muggle Born with royalty ties? No? Well, then have you always wanted to be? For this project we want you to create what your family crest would look like. How would it be shaped or decorated? This is a project that needs work and thought put into it. Yes, you might even have to do some research in order to complete it.
Your finished result should be no smaller than 350 by 350 pixels and no larger than 600 by 600 pixels. This does not mean you need to keep the shape as a square, in fact I encourage you not to in order to make it more realistic. The maximum file size can be no larger than 300kb.
You can either draw your crest by hand or create it in photoshop. Feel free to add some comments, but keep the submissions anonymous. Also do not take something from the internet and claim it as your own. Your submission will be disqualified and possibly lose your house some points.

For den name, if you are a guest put your house and guest, so Hufflepuff Guest for Hufflepuffs. If you are a Gryffindor and don't already know your den (from before the boards blew up) please put Gryffindor, Not Sure, No Den, etc (it really doesn't matter) in the den field. You will be sorted into a den later.

No, not the cereal.
Do you have a lucky charm; something that you feel brings you luck at the big game or during a super hard exam? Well we want to see it. Submit a photo, drawing, or collage created in Photoshop of what helps bring you some luck when you really need it. Remember to give your submission a title so we all know what it is. This should be something you already own; no need to go out an buy a rabbit’s foot or anything. There should also be no reason to use pictures from the internet for this project, so they are not allowed.
Make your submission no smaller than 400 by 400 pixels and no larger than 600 by 600 pixels with a maximum file size of 200kb. Submissions do not have to be square shaped, but just within those restrictions.
And, remember, AS ALWAYS....comments are now mandatory when voting on projects. If your comment does not have a minimum of 7-8 words when voting your rating will be deleted. Writing the same statement on every project is not acceptable either.

We owe you a purdy graphic... but here are some lyrics from The Beatles!!!
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
Oh yes... clicky here
