By Assorted members of Slytherin House As a part to get to know people better around the school, some members of Slytherin have decided to write how to know if you are whoever it is you are. Not only does this help you in case you get hit with 'Obliviate!' but it might warn you to who you may be acting like and can get you to start being original, wonderful yous (If you're in Slytherin. We don't know if anyone else is original and wonderful, nor do we care.) Onwards, to the list! 1. You're not in Slytherin 2. You're not Professor Snape 3. You don't mind greasy hair gel 4. You regard well-maintained cuticles as being more important than survival 5. When you have a walk-in closet just for your hair-care products 6. You spend more time putting smilies in your posts than words ...Erm...we apologize for this inconvenience...we couldn't seem to add anything else to the list. It may have just been a bout of writers block, but it seems to us that there just isn't that much there. Sorry for the inconvenience! Slytherin House |

| Horoscopes by Amanda Dasaro
Aries: The full moon finds you all smiles. Falling in Aries over the October 7 weekend, it will bring to a conclusion a matter of enormous personal importance to you. Only you would know what that might be, but seeing things crest should make you quite happy. I say that because this full moon will be a veritable Chatty Cathy, sending friendly greetings to lots of other planets, including powerhouse Pluto and stability-oriented Saturn. This shows that the actions you take near October 7 will pave the way for a more secure future. Taurus: Pull out your electronic organizer, dear Taurus. You've got people to see, places to go, and a lot of work to accomplish this month. With a packed sixth house of work projects, you'll be on the go and in charge of some mighty interesting assignments. Those projects will take you far, for they will allow you to prove to higher ups that there is much more to you than meets the eye. Gemini: After working yourself to the bone, October brings a wildly romantic month. With the Sun, gentle Venus, and Mars all jazzing your sector of true love, and a new moon to make an appearance on October 22 in the very same part of your chart, this month should set the stage for a deliciously romantic phase. The fact that you worked so hard all year only means that you will enjoy this period all the more. Cancer: The past few months haven't been easy for you, but you'll be thrilled to hear that from now on, you'll be moving through the very best time of 2006. You will soon see how special the coming weeks shall be for you, especially in regard to career and love! Leo: This month you will have a chance to show off your flair for communication. Your words could now launch nations, dear Leo, so use your talents well. You appear to be "out there" this month, gaining a higher-than-usual profile, and others will notice you and interact with you quite a bit. You'll build momentum, make decisions, and be very busy negotiating deals and contracts. Virgo: The eclipses of last month are over, so as you enter October, you may still be adjusting to the changes that September wrought. Relationships were most likely your focus, so some Virgos broke up with their partners while others brought an important relationship even closer. As you see, these eclipses pushed your feelings to one end or the other of the emotional spectrum so that you would be able to see your life in black and white terms. One thing was certain - eclipses move events forward, much faster than any of us ever think possible. Libra: It's your glorious time of the year, dear Libra! October could easily turn out to be one of your favorite months of 2006. You'll be nothing less than a triple threat with the Sun, Venus, and Mars all in Libra, staunchly protecting your interests. Not only that, but you will also have a tender full moon falling in your relationship sector on October 7. That full moon could show you just how adored you are by at least one loving person. What a special month for you and happily, it all arrives at birthday time! Scorpio: As the month takes off you are bursting with new plans, but you seem to sense, wisely, that it would be best to keep them under wraps for the time being. Aim to make your major announcement, presentation, or decision when the Sun moves into Scorpio on or in the days that closely follow October 23. You will want your endeavor to have every advantage, and you will, so be patient. Sagittarius: The eclipses of last month are over, and now you may be adjusting to new conditions. A radical shift in your career, a housing / property matter, or a situation concerning your Mom or Dad (or other family member) seems to have had your attention. If so, as October opens, you may still be sorting out your options. Months that hold eclipses are often very hectic, for the news they bring usually comes suddenly and requires a very fast response. Capricorn: Many Capricorns have been asking when it will be a good time to make a big career move. The answer is October! After many months of delays, false starts, and setbacks, along with a number of pesky financial concerns, October brings a breath of fresh air for career matters. You will also have a big emphasis this month on home and property matters too, and you will be able to see good progress. The month will also allow you lots of social activity, so you truly do have a well-rounded month in store. Aquarius: You need something good to happen, and you need it fast. You have become tired of waiting for a really positive, happy month, especially because you haven't had one in a long time. Few signs have had to carry so much, with so little positive feedback to keep you going. Happily, now you will have your superb month, and it comes at precisely the right time. Pisces: Now that the September eclipses are over, you must be glad to enter October. The new month will be just what you need: a calm, quiet environment that will allow you to sort out life's recent changes and to make new plans. Eclipses in Pisces and Virgo will allow you to see yourself in a fresh light and to shape your life in a new way. This would be necessary now, even if you liked your old life. If there is anything that is constant in the universe it is that everything changes. |
| Gryffindor Calendar? Filled.
By Roxanne Whitez Well. Well. Well. If you would even glance up at the calendar every once in a while, you could probably notice that the Gryffindor CR will certainly be buzzing with housemates going around from here to there, having something to do or someone to meet. That is just because we are one busy house! Birthday-wise, we had our first birthday on the very first day of October, for our dear Rachel Morgan. And on the last day, on Halloween to be more precise, we have a newbie, Ellie Davidson, celebrating her 13th! Other than birthdays, the Gryffs have all made sure that they would put 100% into getting points this year. And what better to have than a post-o-thon to raise our post numbers as well?! For about a week, we hosted another Post-o-Thon where results were high and encouraging. As well, the Prefects and our HoH had planned two great RPs, inviting everyone to join. A great way to meet new people and get to know your housemates! Last but not least, we are now hosting another Point! -o-Thon, going back to our idea of raising the points. For a week now, students are relentlessly finishing classes, completing the SS Challenge and submitting works into clubs so that they could help out as much as they can! So you could see, the lions aren't resting, we're roaring. Secret missions alarm in the Gryffindor Common Room By MoD While I was on one of my usual visits in the Common Room of Gryffindor, I noticed that some little Lions had a great argument (or conversation? hm.) about secret missions of one particular Gryff. After some research I found out that this Gryff hadn't had just one secret mission, but already several. I, myself, became curious at once to find out, what these secret missions were about. Although I kept listening to this conversation, I couldn't get any hints about the missions itself or its purpose. Unluckily, so the statement of this Gryffindor student, everyone curious should find out on their own. After searching the common room for hours, I gave up, hopeless that I would ever be able to find out, what these missions were about. All I can say is: watch out for anything mysterious, weird or odd happening there for there is a secret missions alarm in the Gryffindor Common Room. |
| Metamorphmagus Trick or Treating
By Cookie Minwaggle As most of the wizarding world knows, muggle Halloween activities are off limits. It would be too tempting for some wizards to show off their tricks, thinking that the muggles would not notice as they would look to be in "costume." Well it turns out, according to a secret source, that a group of students at Hogwarts were too tempted and had planned on trick-or-treating in the nearby muggle town. This is no ordinary group of witches and wizards though, they are metamorphmaguses. They all were born with the power to change their appearance whenever they please. My source shared with me how they found out about this secret plan. "I was trying to find the loo on the second floor. I walked in a door and realized I was in Moaning Myrtles bathroom .I quickly turned to leave, I did not have time to deal with the ghost, I was already going to be late for Charms class. Anyway, as I turned to leave I heard a group of students talking in a stall. I could not help but listen in, it definitely sounded like they were up to something. I stood next to the door and listened as they talked about sneaking out of Hogwarts on Halloween. They had a map of the route to the Muggle town and were saying something about hitting the same 5 houses as many times as possible, changing each time." My source told me she saw them all leave the bathroom, and recognized them as the four students everyone knew were metmorphmaguses. Turns out they are a popular group of students at the school, and are never far apart from each other. The group of students was quickly brought to the Headmaster?s office for questioning by certain ministry personnel . Getting so nervous with the ministry taking part, the students confessed everything. Turns out they had planned on using their powers to trick or treat, by changing their look many times to fool the muggles into thinking they were different children in order to go to the same houses over and over. The young witches and wizards were released with a few days of detention and an appointment to talk with Nymphadora Tonks, a well known metamorpmagus in the ministry of magic. When asked why they had planned such a risky scheme, one of the students replied, �We just wanted some free candy.� |

| Revenge of the Turkeys!
Kiley Blaire We knew it had to happen sooner or later. All those Thanksgiving dinners with your mother�s masterpiece turkey are now coming back to haunt you. Literally! Reports are coming in from witches and wizards in all countries of the world about the appearance of ghost turkeys who haunt Thanksgiving dinners. They�re in the kitchen while you�re mashing potatoes, making an eerie centerpiece as you try to set the table with your fancy china, and giving your shins an ice-cold pecking as you take that bird out of the oven! And you thought all you had to worry about was the in-laws. These ghostly menaces, according to a reliable source, are currently plotting an attack on all local markets that sell turkeys for Thanksgiving, and many shopkeepers are getting frightened. Not to mention all those people who were looking forward to fighting over the dark meat with their siblings (and I�m not just talking about the kids!). So, what�s the solution to this phantom problem? Maybe you should try the chicken. |
