  1. SLAPS SKY for not realizing that anyone who reads this in just over 24 hours is going to be really confused because you're going to have a great quote in your signature and they're going to think I told you about it...So, in hindsight, THANKS.


  2. Welcome to Peeves' Place! The ever-awesome, ever-amusing game section of the Gryffindor Common Room. 

     

    This is pretty much the only place where spamming is semi-encouraged, since any posts that you make in Peeves' Place are not counted towards your post count which wasn't always the case *big grin*.

     

    You are welcome to post your own games, just make sure they are HOL appropriate. If you are not sure whether the game should be posted, please feel free to owl me and ask. We definitely encourage participation and activity in Gryff.

     

    Although SPAM is allowed, please do not post back-to-back, which means you need to wait for at least one person to post after you, before you can post again. Answering your own questions may get a little weird/depressing after a while. ;)

     

    Have fun with it!

     

    P.S. If you see some games vanishing don't worry, the clean-up gnome is just cleaning up some of the older games.


  3. 10 more personal items I will being taking to Hogwarts with me!

     

    Let us start with the obvious:

     

    1. Many, many books. I know we have an entire cathedral of a library, but there's nothing quite like one of your personal favorites.

     

    2. Lemon-filled glazed doughnuts.

     

    3. Netflix Probably would try and bring my color guard gear: flag pole, rifle, sabre. There's something quite relaxing about it.

     

    4. An endless supply of sarcastic wit.

     

    5. Bright pink converse. 

     

    6. A muggle poster of Jennifer Lawrence and Grant Gustin.

     

    7. My personal pillow.

     

    8. Design perfume.

     

    9. Lots of things that smell really good, candles and the like.

     

    10. Muggle boardgame of LIFE where we magically change the careers and spaces to things that are magical.

     

    There we go!


  4. I apologize. I have been away for quite a while so I do not know many people, but as it goes along, I will add to this.

     

    To Sky Alton I give the: Most AMAZING AWESOME PERSON EVER. - Explanation. She is here in Gryffindor helping to lead and establish new blood and make us GREAT. Which gives her the title of what I just said. Yes, it's ridiculous, but it's true. 


  5. Brave is one of those words that can have so many different meanings to many different people. People who can show emotion and openly shed a tear are tremendously brave to me. Those people who are unafraid to show emotion, to allow themselves to be vulnerable are immensely brave. People who stand up for what they believe, for what they believe is right, even though most of the world may disagree with them. People who take that leap even though they may fall. Those people are brave to me.

  6. I am literally dying my hair red right now! Half for support of my AWESOME TEAM and half because I want to.

     

    The Gryffindor Quiddtich Team goes against Ravenclaw THIS SATURDAY, December 13th!

     

    What do we need? WE NEED YOU TO BE THERE. We need your support from the stands. Wear your scarlet and gold scarves, hats, I don't know, costumes, and come support your amazingly hard-working Gryffindor team

     

     

    There are two places where the game will be available for those of you who have never been to a match before. The game is hosted on mIRC, which is the internet relay chat system HOL uses. 

     

    Where: #Quidditch (this will be for the main game play) #Grandstand (this is where you can cheer on your Lions as they battle it out.)

    When: This Saturday, December 13th at 9pm HOL time. Get there a few minutes early so you don't miss anything! 

    Why: Because, legit. I will find you and make you clean the common room if you're not there!


  7. Hello, Lions!

     

    If you are unaware, the first Gryffindor Quidditch game is coming up...ON SATURDAY! This Saturday! You know what that means, right? Pull out your banners, megaphones, learn that nifty sonorus spell and get ready to cheer on your Gryffindor Quidditch Team as we battle against those bothersome badgers!

  8. Oh, god, I'm so guilty. I re-read books so many times, they literally fall apart at the seams. Harry Potter? Yeah, I can't even tell you how many times I've read books 1-5. It's a combined over 200 times, I know.

     

    Have you ever totally stalked lurked outside a crushes' house? 


  9. All right, so the first edition of the Paw Print for the new school year is well under way and we need your help to make it the most magical and fantastical issue ever. 

     

    But how do we do this?

     

    Well, little Timmy, I'm glad you asked for I have all of the answers! Well, pertaining to this, at least.

     

    Q: Can other houses submit for the Paw Print?

     

    A: Absolutely! We highly encourage other houses to make submissions and earn points for their house. It's always nice to spotlight different writers from the other houses in our various editions. 

     

    Q: How many points can I earn?

     

    A: I'm glad you asked! Points are important. You can earn up to 50 points (10 points per article/other submission) by writing or creating for the Paw Print. You must remember that your articles need to be over 500 words. We can't just give away points, you know.

     

    Q: Amazeballs! How do I submit and what can I submit?

     

    A: It's very simple, friend! You send your submissions to theGryffPawPrint@gmail.com and be sure to include your HOL name and ID, so we can properly award you points.

     

    Now, what can you submit? ANYTHING! Well, pretty much anything. We're looking for articles relating to HOL events, articles you want to write that you think are awesome, articles regarding your house that you want to let everyone know about. Need to advertise something? Make a graphics and send in an excerpt! We're taking recipes, reviews (books, movies...whatever else you can review), graphics, pictures, puzzles. Be creative and make it glorious! 

     

    Q: When's the deadline for this fantastic opportunity to showcase my talent and earn points?

     

    A: The deadline is October 26th, so make sure you have everything you want to submit turned in on or before that date! 

     

    I do believe that answers all of the pressing questions. If you have questions, feel free to send myself or Fumei Shirokuro an owl and we'll be happy to help. 

     

    Warmest regards,

     

    Prof. Zenix James

  10. I know this is a few hours early for us United States people, but it is most definitely your birthday where you are and I want to get this birthday post up and running.

     

    First, I would like to thank you for everything that you do around HOL and the Common Room, along with designing things and all that fancy jazz stuff I know not about. You are appreciated.

     

    Second, I would like to thank you for being a great friend and being a good-hearted person. 

     

    Thirdly, I would like to WISH YOU A HAPPY HIPPOGRIFFIN BIRTHDAY, MY FRIEND! EAT THE CAKE.
