Yes, that's right � after a long wait the Gryffindor Cheerleading Club has re-opened! The GCT, founded by yours truly, Andie Granger was active until around the end of last year, when I took leave from Pad's Hogwarts for personal reasons, from here � Gryffindor prefect Megan Miller (and vice captain of the GCT) took over the running. But, when term ended � sadly so did the GCT, but now, as I have returned � we're back!
The Gryffindor Cheerleading Club is an organization made up entirely of Gryffindor eager to cheer on their fellow housemates in Quidditch with a series of original and catchy chants. The GCT attends all Quidditch games that Gryffindor play in and cheer their voices hoarse.
Although we are still short of numbers, we are hoping to have a full team ready to make new chants and have our first practice very soon. Our current members include:
Miss Andie Granger [Captain]
Megan Miller [Co-Captain]
Kay Jaykora
Lily Duncan
Hermione Jane
Madge Jhick
Samantha Taylor
Raindrops [Cassie Pandora]
We are all very excited to be starting again � look for us in the first Quidditch match of the season, and prepare to be amazed!

I know, I know, what can I say, I am a guy and when a beautiful young lady ask you to join something, well, who could blame me. Besides, I am the only guy on the squad, so who�s the smart one? We are working on our cheers for the upcoming Quidditch games, and it�s going well and I even came up with one. I understand the Penshire�s have a long history of stetting the pace for cheering at games, even started the banner displays, so this term should be no different for the innovative cranes are already busy working on them. The squad may grow by the time this comes out, but so far there is Andromeda (Tonks) who is heading this up and the squad consists of: Ella Ruby, Masi, Ava, Makayla, Guin, Emmalee, Michelle, Lynn, Ally, Atty, and me! So, look for us in the stands, we may be cheering on our team, but we could also be cheering for you!

Lately, many students have been whispering behind the back of one of their teachers about their receding hairline. That�s right; our celebrity professor here at Hogwarts has been spotted in the corridors with his wand in hand muttering useless spells trying to make the hair stay in its place. Well Professor Lockhart, you should really stop trying to do that because you are making yourself even balder than before.
