We all know that the students of Ravenclaw especially are going to be carrying around a LOT of books during their time at Hogwarts and experience has also shown that they are the ones who love books the most and are most saddened when they start to look a little beat up. Therefore, the freebie at th...

Being the Ravenclaw I am, I am always finding myself drawn to all kinds of notebooks and also planners. And... well... I might have gone a little bit overboard especially in the notebooks department (seriously, I have trouble closing my school trunk at this stage) So. I have decided to bring some of...

Go to the irc chat in #hol You will meet people there and get to chat in a way that is difficult to replicate on forums. It allows you to actually get to know other HOLers and form friendships. You will be able to get questions answered much faster than any other way and you will be able to find ins...

There isn't really a set time for how long you should be a student here at HOL before you can become a prefect. As Will said before, the journey to becoming a prefect usually starts out by that person doing a training course in their house and then they will hold an intermediate position for a while...

"Do you think I can just grab one of those?" Gail asked Maxim, looking rather hungrily at the muffins he was holding. "I was so busy this morning I didn't get around to going to breakfast and then I planned to just head past the kitchen to get something to bring along, but.." she shruggled looking s...

Professor Umbridge - she might not have taught for long, but oh, I would fire her any hour of any day.

If you could do magic, what would be your preferred method of transportation?

Finally DaKeed has been caught! I am so glad everyone has been returned to normal and are safe from his - or should I say their - antics. Nessa... I would have expected better from you than to leave so many clues to your identity. If you haven't already taken Kendra's forensic science class you have...

Happy Birthday to the most wonderful person I know. I wish you all the best in the coming year and I hope the day is a wonderful one and that at least a few of your wishes will come true this year.

I hope you had a wonderful day even if it must have been disturbed some by the whole transformation business. But we'll be trying our best to get things back to normal I can assure you.

In the meantime the British have it right. Drink tea and keep calm.

Happy birthday Sky! I hope you have an amazing day!

Make sure all students are given a whistle and if they see anything suspecious they are to blow their whistle as loud as possible. Of course this may cause a fair few false alarms but it's better than people being transformed! Maybe we could also do drills with these and everyone hearing a whistle b...

I am definitely on board to help put a stop to this DaKeed My special skill lies in people-wrangling. I work with kids fifth to seventh grade every day and being ahead of their sometimes silly ideas on a daily basis has made me quite good at catching wind of plans and stopping them before they can b...

Yay!!

So well done! These were some lofty goals and so many of us have managed to fulfill them! I am continuously impressed by all the amazing people here on HOL!

Happy Birthday Astor!
I hope you have an amazing day!
