  1. Siren’s Song Prompt: The Weird Sisters are one of the most famous wizarding musicians in Britain. Their instrument ensemble include guitars, bagpipes, cello, drums, bass, and a lute. Think of another instrument that'd be a wonderful addition to the lineup and why. Minimum 30 words. Submissions: Adeline Morior: I think a traditional tribal hand drum (the ones with the animal skin tops) would be an excellent addition. There are some amazing slower parts of songs just before the bigger parts hit that would sound really nice and kind of build up to the main part of the songs. I have heard some really nice rock music that uses them in slower momentum to build up. Cassie Williams: Another instrument that would be a wonderful addition to the Weird Sisters' lineup would be the kazoo. It fits the slightly chaotic theme they have going on with both their group name and instruments, while still being an instrument that produces a higher pitched sound that could complement some of the more overpowering instruments such as the bagpipes. Ellie Vernez: I think a piano would be a great addition to the band, when played right it can sound amazing and it allows complex harmonies and textures, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles. Galena May: I think that a piano would be a great addition to The Weird Sisters' ensemble. I think so because their music is known for being inspired by dark elements, and when such music is performed, some painful notes may help set and add to the mood. I think that the piano is the perfect instrument to play painful notes on. Besides, the black and white keys of a piano would add a dark aesthetic that would go well with the themes of their performances. Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis: The Weird Sisters could benefit from adding an ocarina to their instrument lineup. They currently only have the bagpipes as the sole wind instrument in the band. Ocarinas can be customized and easily fit the vibe and style of the Weird Sisters. River Fenwick: A harp would be a good addition to the lineup because it can blend well with the softer sounds of a lute and cello, creating a more layered beat, while also being able to fit into multiple different musical genres.

  17. The mayor is deeply appreciative of everyone’s efforts in making this year’s Gryfftoberfest a success. Godric Gryffindor is the mayor’s personal hero so they’re grateful to have been able to pay tribute to such a legend with your help. As a token of the mayor’s appreciation, they’ve awarded rubies to the Hogwarts volunteers as follows: Adeline Morior - 315 Cassie Williams - 300 Ellie Vernez - 140 Galena May - 330 Lex Green - 25 Maria Williams - 20 Prof. Kendra Givens - 15 River Fenwick - 330 Skylar Peyton - 80 The following volunteers also snagged the Gryfftoberfest award: Adeline Morior Cassie Williams Galena May River Fenwick Thank you for all your hard work, and we hope you enjoyed Gryfftoberfest! (If your rubies total is incorrect, please let me know asap and I'll get it sorted out)
  18. It's time for your Potions class, and, unsurprisingly, the professor has set you the task of brewing a particular potion. You toil over the potion for the bulk of the class, but now that it's finished and has been assessed, there's one more thing left: the label. Careful labelling is an often overlooked step in potion-making but is just as essential as getting all the ingredients and steps right. We'd like you to design a label (no bigger than 600 x 600 pixels) for your newly made potion. Please include the name and at least 2-3 other details. Post your labels below by 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of November to earn 10 rubies.
  19. You happen to open the textbook to the chapter discussing the classification of potions. Throughout the history of potion-making, different scholars have put forward their own ideas for how potions can be classified. Arsenius Jigger has further contributed to this debate. We'd like you to choose 10 potions and classify them into 3-5 categories. Keep in mind that Arsenius does not like using the more conventional categories of antidotes, healing potions and poisons. Share the list and also Arsenius's reasoning behind these categories in 100 words or more. Post your classifications below by 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of November to earn 10 rubies.
