I've been playing some board games online over these past few years; one game I got a kick out of was called "Martian Dice" just because of how ridiculous the premise was!

happy birthday!

hope you're having a great birthday!

Wel'll try a different time for the next pickup (in #quidditch as usual):

Saturday, April 27 at 9 PM HOL!!!!!

Bumping this topic again because HOL time will soon change to move an hour forward!

We plan on having the next pickup sometime in April and are still very interested in your availbility, especially if you've had a particularly hard time making the Saturday 5:30 PM HOL pickup time!

NOTE: This 'response' is intended to give students a chance to earn reply points right away. Each word in the sentence does have an intended Parseltongue meaning, but I'm forgetting that fact for now! The third image, showing a cute boy very happily hugging a gorgeous snake, was described with the f...

Recall the prompt for this part of Assignment 3 : I showed Basl a few more images; he described each of them with a sentence in Parseltongue.
