Prof. Dario Brighton

This month's poetry challenge is writing a poem that includes the following words: banana, star, milk. Your poem should have at least 10 lines. You will get 30 beans for this challenge.

Please post your poem below. :)

I am posting to let you know that there have been a few changes around here. As you explore, you might notice a few new areas on the forum. Take your time, and feel free to sniff around.

The Gryffindor Library has just reopened! I'm really looking forward to all the challenges!

Another announcement I had for you all is that Guinevere Avalon has been promoted to a prefect! Congratulations, Guin!

Fumei Shirokuro is officially the new Prefect in Charge as Hailey Potter completed her NEWTs and will rejoin the staff as a professor along with Nina Messersmith.

This is all for now. Have fun exploring. :)

This is a place for any kind of discussions, literally (as long as they are HOL appropriate)!

You can start a new topic if you want to discuss something... Perhaps a book you just read, a film you've recently seen, something Harry Potter related, or just something rather silly. Whatever it is, this is the place to talk about it.

Welcome to the Gryffindor Library!

The Library is a place where you can post original work of written art, do weekly challenges, go through archives of old activities, discuss books, ask for recommendations and much more! You can go through the FAQ below, id you have any questions after reading the FAQ, you may ask a question

Who is the Head Librarian?

Our current Librarian is Prof. Dario Sehovic (I, that is)

Can I post my own work?

Of course! We have a whole forum dedicated to student work. It is called the Showcase. You can post you own stories or poems there, or just go through others' work and comment if you like it. You can find the forum HERE! and make sure you read the rules, which are located

What is the Archives forum about?

The Archives is a place where you can explore creative task submissions from previous/inactive activities. Click HERE! to be taken there.

What are Weekly Challenges?

The weekly challenges are simple Library challenges in which people can take part and earn Beans. There are four types of challenges:

1. Poetry Challenge

2. Prose Challenge

3. Haiku Challenge

4. Colouring Challenge

Each week there will be another challenge one can do and earn Beans for. You will earn 20 Beans for each challenge you do. You will have 30 days to submit a challenge, after that, the challenge will be moved to the Shelves, which can be found HERE!

What about book discussions or recommendations?

You can start new discussions in this forum about your favourite book, poem, novel, story, or similar. Make sure to title your topic by the book or poem you want to talk about. If I wanted to make a discussion about Harry Potter, I would make a topic titled "Harry Potter" and put "by J. K. Rowling" in the description (tag box). If you want to ask for book recommendations, you name the topic "Book recommendations" or similar. Remember, we like to keep our Common Room neat and clean, and with you minding the rules, the moderators won't have to edit every single post. :)

If you have any questions, you may ask them below. :)

Gryfftoberfest here

So we must all give a cheer

and drink butterbeer

Haiku by Jacqualine Snape

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Gryfftoberfest is finally here

Rejoice then everyone

You know it is the time of year

For Gryffies to have fun

Frights and tricks are such a treat

Till no more can be done

Or we shall have to rest to eat

Bring us a pumpkin bun

Evenings by a blazing fire

Resound with lots of cheer

Full of jokes and tales so dire

Each one needs butterbeer

So let each Gryffie do their best

Tonight is our Gryfftoberfest

Sonnet by Jacqualine Snape

-------------------------------------------------------------------

'Help' the cry came through the night,

As Gryffindor's rooms filled with fright

'Look at Fu', Nina cried

'Lord she's been petrified.

'Out' shouted the prefects 'out,

We need to find what this is about'

Everyone huddled outside the door,

Each one eager to learn more.

Now each den must do their best

Solving clues for Gryfftoberfest.
