Prof. Sky Alton 260 Posted February 12 It’s time to celebrate what we achieved in the autumn term! And what a term it was. We welcomed a huge number of new students to the castle back in September and it’s been wonderful to see so many people, new and old, enjoying HOL and stopping by The Den to take part in our activities. Gryffindor also managed to catch up in the nick of time and finish the term more or less neck and neck with Hufflepuff in the cup standings, so a huge thank you and congratulations to all of you who contributed to that by earning points. Even if you can only earn a few here and there, we truly appreciate you! Now, the awards. They’re coming to you a little late this year due to an incident with an open window, a pair of nifflers and a rogue flying key (don’t ask). So let’s press on before anything else can happen! The Platinum Quill goes to the lion who has earned the most house points during the term. Our hard working autumn term winner is @Janne Halla who earned a dazzling 2027 points! Next up are our ruby awards, the Phoenix and Lionheart, presented to the Gryffindor and visitor with the highest ruby counts. Many congratulations to our own @Dibyarup James Potterfor an impressive haul of 883 and @Lex Green of Ravenclaw for an even more staggering total of 937! And now for a few awards given out by the staff… We hand out the Studious Simba award to a lion who has distinguished themselves in the classrooms. I’m delighted to present it to @Sophia Williams who has hit the ground running in their first term and achieved some very admirable grades indeed. An honourable mention goes to last term’s recipient @Doubhee Pevensy who has kept up their sterling work this term as well. The Consistent Cub is handed out to a particularly active lion who shows up for the house continuously and who courageously throws themselves into everything HOL has to offer. It isn’t possible to go anywhere in the castle and not encounter this particular lion hard at work and flying the flag for Gryffindor, so very well done to Dibyarup James Potter! Last, the Exploding Snap award is for someone who has lit up The Den with their creative and ingenious ideas. We’re proud to hand it to Janne Halla for his enterprising and entertaining Book Fair activity. Congratulations to our winners and thanks once again to all the lions and visitors who make The Den such a fun place to hang out. Butterbeer this way! 1 Share this post Link to post
