A. Just like in the books, there are four houses. When you fill out the sorting hat form you choose which you want to be in. The four houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, compete each year to win the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup.
The inhabitants of Gryffindor are known for their bravery.
The inhabitants of Hufflepuff are known for their loyalty.
The inhabitants of Ravenclaw are known for their intelligence.

Q. How does my house win the House Cup and Quidditch Cup?
A. The House Cup can be won by the house with the most house points. House points are awarded to members of each house by any teacher who sees the student doing something worthy. Of course if something unworthy happens, then the teacher may take points away. The Quidditch Cup may be won by the amount of games the house won playing Quidditch.

Q. How do I sign up for Quidditch?
