We're into the last stretch of the term! Remember that most classes have a final deadline of the 15th of June (though some can be a few days earlier or later), so make sure you're not leaving everything too last minute. We're still lagging a little behind in the cup standings but with a concerted effort, I'm sure we can give everyone a run for their money. Whatever you can do, even if it's just sending in a single assignment, is a huge help. Let's finish this year in a blaze of glory. Let's go, Gryffindor, let's go! If you finish your homework and want to earn some last minute points, get yourself over to the Howler area of the main HOL forum. The final issue of the school year (theme: Whirlwind Adventure) is open for submissions until the 20th of June, so there's a small window to squeeze in a few articles, puzzles or creative pieces. You can earn yourself another 60 points and that's definitely worth having! Deadline: 20th June This month's department projects won't finish until after this school year wraps up but if you'd like to get a head start on point earning for next year, make sure you head over to check them out! The Art Department are asking you to create a celebration for the 7th years who are about to finish up their HOL education and then head off to the beach. The Library Department are asking you to describe a family reunion and your own personal trip of a lifetime. Exciting stuff! Art Deadline: 30th June Library Deadline: 8th July

The evening sunshine sparkles off the lake as you make your way down to it. Trestle tables have been laid out on the shore and they’re already groaning under the weight of a huge buffet that must have kept the house elves busy for days. Fellow students chatter excitedly around you - it’s going to be a lovely night. The Situation: The staff have laid on an evening picnic in the grounds to celebrate the summer solstis and the end of another school year. There have been rumours flying around that there’s going to be a magical lantern display later and maybe even some fireworks to finish off the festivities. The Location: Feel free to roleplay anywhere in the general vicinity of the lake. Give the guidelines a read before diving in. Have fun!

Rejected Ginny - Please try signing up again using your full HOL name as your username. :)

The field just outside Hogsmeade is full of brightly decorated stalls and happy people. The sunshine finally seems to have some warmth in it and you enjoy the feel of it on your face as you stroll down towards the spring fete. The Situation: It’s time for Hogsmeade’s annual celebration of everything spring, the spring fete and luckily for everyone at Hogwarts, the headmistress has granted everyone permission to go for a few hours, including first and second years. Stalls are groaning under the wait of cakes, flowers and other goodies. There are games (some magical and some muggle) and contests of all descriptions to join in on. The maypole with its colourful ribbons stands tall over everything, just waiting for people to come and dance round it. The Location: Try to keep the action within the field where the fete is taking place. Feel free to invent any stalls, games or contests you like! Give the guidelines a read before diving in. Have fun!
