  1. Dear fellow Gryffindors, When I joined this house some eight years ago, you made me feel welcome and at home and I’ve felt that way ever since. I am honoured and grateful to have been entrusted the role of your Head of House. I am proud of everything we’ve achieved and worked on together. Even though I will feel like I’m missing out or like a pice of who I am is gone, I realise that it is time to look forward and step down as a Head of House. I owe so much to the people who used to be a part of this community and to people who are still around today. I feel confident in my decision knowing that house management will be left in very capable hands. I still intend to be a part of Gryffindor and the amazing Prof. Sky Alton has my full support, although, now in a different capacity. It was lovely serving the community. Thank you for everything! As always, butterbeer is on me.
  2. Innocent. I like learning about languages (especially the ones I already speak). However, being trilingual and having studied Latin for four years on top of that really destroyed my enthusiasm towards leaning new languages. Sleeps with at least one window open to some extent at all times.
  3. Very, very guilty. I'm famous for absurd sayings and vivid analogies. Prefers cursive to print writing.
  4. I slap Emerald for having a purple instead of an emerald hat in the avatar picture.
  5. With the start of a new school year around the corner, we're working hard to get everything ready and keep things organised. Since our Prefect in Charge decided to disobey me by graduating, I had no other choice but to punish her by talking the Head Office into agreeing to make her our newest Head of House. Congratulations @Prof. Sky Alton, I'm very much looking forward to working with you in this new capacity. With the Prefect in Charge spot becoming vacant, we decided to offer it to @Iverian Gnash in hopes to teach her a valuable lesson about stealing other Prefects' badges and claiming them for herself. I'm happy to announce that she's accepted the spot and will hopefully no longer be stealing other Prefects' badges since she has her own special shiny new one. Now, what's a Prefect in Charge without any Prefects to be in charge of? Of course we had that in mind and we're thrilled to have the amazing @Lorainia Riverrider agree to become a Gryffindor Prefect. Good luck (and keep your badge in a safe place)! We're always looking into ways to maintain a strong panel of staff and we thought a new addition would be the perfect opportunity to keep up. After a successful application process, we've decided to offer the post of Junior Prefect to @Adaleine Shuster. Well done! You all deserve your promotions and should be proud of yourselves. I wish you all the best in hope that the time you spend in your positions is filled with pleasant experiences, strong teamwork and making Gryffindor the place it's meant to be. As always, butterbeer is on me. Cheers!
  6. O, perhaps? (Could we also please keep a running list of used letters so it's less confusing to look up what's already been used?)
  7. I slap Ada for over-polishing her JP badge!
  8. The Platinum Quill Award This award is presented to the Gryffindor who has earned the most points in a term. With over 3000 points to her name from this term alone, @Iverian Gnash is an exceedingly worthy winner! The Phoenix Award This prize is for the lion who has managed to earn the most rubies during the term. @Iverian Gnash is our winner again with an impressive 350 rubies! Lionheart Award Awarded to whichever of our guests has earned the most rubies throughout the term. We have a tie this time around as reigning champion @Maxim Trevelyan of Ravenclaw is joined by @Prof. Tarma Amelia Black of Hufflepuff -- they both earned a staggering 480 rubies. Well done both! Awards decided by the staff: Studious Simba Awarded to a lion who has distinguished themselves through hard work in their classes and potentially in other areas too. @Lorainia Riverrider has not only proved herself time and again in classes and activities but demonstrated true Gryffindor tenacity while doing so. Curious Kitten This is awarded to a particularly enthusiastic Gryffindor who has been a positive presence in The Den. We’re delighted to present this award to @Emerald Wolvenhowl for her sunny attitude and constant encouragement and appreciation of those around her. Consistent Cub Awarded to a lion who is everywhere doing everything and inspires us all to get involved. We’re very glad to present this one to @Carrie Warts for her willingness to dive into just about anything around HOL with passion and a light heart. Lively Lionet This is awarded to someone whose house pride and loyalty sets them apart. Since joining, @Isa Vestal has proved her nerve by leaving no room in the castle unexplored and has made sure the scarlet and gold is gloriously represented in every activity she attempts. The Friend of the Den Award This is awarded to a non-Gryffindor who has gone out of their way to lend a hand to the lions. We would like to present this award to @Prof. Amy Lupin for her years of unwavering support behind the scenes and in particular her generosity in extending her puzzle and graphic making expertise so that certain Gryff activities could go ahead.
  9. I know the End of Year Feast is behind us, but we are not quite done until we take a moment to acknowledge the people who have contributed to our proud House. With the most House Points earned we have @Iverian Gnash, who collected 1,963 House Points for our House in the previous term. To her we present the Platinum Quill Award. Not only has she collected the most House Points, she’s also the Gryffindor who managed to collect the most Rubies, which earns her the Phoenix Award! Well done! Speaking of Rubies, one of our non-Gryffindor friends managed to collect a total 411 Rubies for the term. Well done @Maxim Trevelyan for earning the Lionheart Award. Thank you for hanging out in our Common Room. The Gryffindor House values hard work. On that note, I would like to present the Studious Simba Award to @Lizzi Long for her school and class-related efforts. Next on is the Exploding Snap Award, which coincidentally goes to one of the main backers of the Exploding Snap activity, @Iverian Gnash. Iverian has contributed a lot to Gryffindor even outside of her duties as member of staff. Having said that, I would also like to congratulate her on being promoted to a Prefect. Well deserved! Last, but definitely not least, I am delighted to present an award which is a true honour here in Gryffindor: The Pride of the Pride. For her immeasurable effort and contributions, for her positive attitude, true Gryffindor spirit and unquestionable loyalty to the House, the Pride of the Pride Award is presented to our @Sky Alton. Thank you!
  10. I'll mostly listen to whatever is on the charts or on the radio, so I don't have a favourite as my music world doesn't revolve that much around contemporary music. If the question were about my favourite artist, then I'd definitely have to go for Bach. Just so I don't stray away from the topic, I'll admit that I was forced into listening to Kpop and that BTS is my guilty pleasure.
