The love story of Severus and Lily did turn in to a murder point of view but, how would you see this to Severus point of view and to protect her son with the man he hated so much James Potter? and how does Severus get involved with the dark lord. By the story of the boy who lived a mire two year old can destroy a dark lord for something he did not have or feel of love to other or to himself but to think it doesn't go as far to make a mistake to have seven horcroxes then just six of them but this was for his on fault to kill someone that is til alive how can you fix up a mess you make. I'm I right! thank you!

Dear Hoggy Herald,

I salute your byline 'there's nothing more valuable than knowledge'. That is certainly the truth if ever the truth was certain.

Except maybe in times when you just wished you didn't know something and you think 'maybe knowledge isn't all that great after all...' Or when you need just a bit more beans for that cute ginger cat at the Pet Store...

But otherwise it's quite true.

So on that note, I now write to question one of the Muggle Phrases:

"Don’t hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from..."

From what? From 'vain'? From 'rain'? From 'window panes'? From 'crazy red-trains'? From 'giraffes'?

As you can see, pondering this phrase has led me to a state of frenzy that only people who value knowledge more than ignorance and beans can understand. What does it keep you from? I need to know! And no matter how much I would wish it, I cannot un-remember seeing the phrase, nor can any amount of beans satiate this need to know what holding on to anger, hurt and pain keeps a person from. (It's giraffes right? It's gotta be giraffes...)

Though that isn't to say any amount of beans willingly given won't help in the meantime.

Dear Editor,
Lately I have really became interested in Quiddtch- beyond Hogwarts. My father has been sending me some cut outs of Quidditch magazines that he gets back in Manchester which aren't available here.
Many of my friends agree with me that Quidditch news is scarce at Hogwarts, that is why I suggest creating a Quidditch page in the Herald! It would be great for us wizards and witches to have a local paper to catch up with the Quidditch world in, and with the Summer Seekers Tournament 2010, I doubt you will have a shortage of news to display.
Regards,

Dear Editor,

I'm having trouble dealing with a certain, shall we say, unique problem. You see, there's this boy who lives right across from my mansion and every day he takes out his extremely expensive French poodle on a walk. And every day the poodle drags him over to the edge of my lawn where I grow some wizard-brand roses. I see him there and I've been meaning to talk to him for ages but I can never get the courage to. My father says he's willing to bribe the boy's father but somehow I don't think this will work. But I'm so desperate that I might actually try. Please tell me how to deal best with this situation.

Sorry, did you just say this wasn't a help columnn? Oh dear...

Dear Editor,

Though I normally do my very best to avoid the subject, I can no longer ignore the dissatisfied calls I hear from different sources, regardless of their age or house. The matter is becoming pressing at Hogwarts. Though one cannot really talk about a peaceful atmosphere anyway, I noticed that life at Hogwarts is being influenced in several ways, and not for the better.

I am talking about blood discrimination, a phenomenon that has been present for centuries. Since the very start of Hogwarts school the difference in ancestry has been the cause of strife, both psychological and physical. And even now, a thousand years after the foundation of Hogwarts, the tensions between people of different ‘blood’ still exist.

The daily rows and struggles may seem small, but added up together they disturb the everyday life of Hogwarts’ students and teachers. On the Quidditch pitch the play gets more dirty because of the accusations and insults, students receive foul looks from each other in the hallways, and blood-status based separatist groups are being founded to emphasise the ‘difference’ even more. People deliberately break friendships and relations - and for what? For a distinction that is ephemeral? A distinction that should be smoothed out the very moment that students set foot in Hogwarts?

I find it a pity that I felt the need to write this letter to the Hogsmeade Herald, but I wanted to show the students of our school what is becoming of us. Instead of uniting, the student body falls apart because of the focus on blood type.
We all have red blood. Let’s act like it.

Yours Truly,

Barbara Phoenix

One day I was walking in my house's road, when I saw a man wearing a robe.
I was surprised, because I didn't know if he was a wizard or a some kind of Muggle without brains trying to be a mage from their stupid and strange tales...
I ignored him, but he shouted to me "You! Come here!".
"What do you want?"
"I know what are you"
"And what am I?"
The man smiled to me and answered
"You're the same as me"
"And what are you, old man?"
"I'm a wizard."
I felt a strange pain in my stomache. I was the unique wizard in this village.
"But are you from here?"
"No. No. I live far far away. In a place called Hogsmeade."
After this chat, we drank some butterbeers and we became great friends. That was how I met Crown, but, in my opinion, he's more like a Crow, in the way he's always disapparing.

Dear Hogsmeade Herald Staff,

I am thrilled about this brand new newspaper. Thrilled! I even told my pet erumpent about it and he promised to read it too when it's out!

If you need me for an interview or to share some anecdotes with your readers, I would be delighted to be of service. Shout it out to the wizarding world, let a new star rise up high over the ancient walls of Hogsmeade (man we really have to invest some galleons in maintenance or everything will look like the Shrieking Shack very soon).

You can find me in the Hog's Head quite frequently if you don't want to climb up all these stairs to my tower. Sharpen your quills, pals. Good luck with everything.
