The O.W.L.S.
By Beonca Aims

I don�t know about you all, but I am excited about taking MY O.W.L.S. Being a member for some time, I had the privilege of taking many classes through the years. Some were even taught by the Headmistress, when she was teaching. So, for me, these Ordinary Wizarding Levels will be a breeze. Though many have questions as to who can take them and why, I would think it would prove your aptitude here at Hogwarts and the fact you took classes and learned something. I know I will proudly show off my scores and plan on being in the Top Ten. Sure I am a bit nervous about what exactly will be on them, but I trust my ability to retain the knowledge these professors have presented in their lessons. I would like to see Slytherin be the example of what a proper education at Hogwarts can get you and though we are cunning, we are also����..smart.
Dear Alba,

A couple of weeks ago my friends mom was really angry at her for talking to her sister,and I haven't seen her since . Plus all this last week I had a nightmare of her and she wasn't moving. I coudn't breath at all through out the dream.

Please help me ,
Akkako

Dear Akkako.

Firstly, you must calm down. Now take a few slow breaths. Inhale and exhale. Now I think the problem is you are being very worried. Here are a few things you can resort to. Firstly have you tried calling your friend. Secondly you can, if you want, talk to your friend over the internet if possible just for means of any communication, and in this case communication is much needed. You can thirdly, search for your friend and if you find her, calmly explain how you feel about not spending that precious boding time with her and ask her reassuringly if everything is all right, when it comes to your friendship.

Now about the dream. No-one has ever proved that in real life, anyone can actually see things that will happen in the future throughout dreams. So remind yourself finally, that it is just a dream and it doesn't mean anything. Bottom line try to do things that satisfy you or calm you down which will help you vibrate at a higher frequency meaning you are feeling happier. I hope my advice helps you throughout this time.

Santa Scandal
B
y a Ravenclaw-who-must-not-be-named

Last year's "I Saw PAD Kissing Santa Claus" is followed by this year's Santa scandal.
Yes, you read it right, a SCANDAL!

Recently, one of Mr Claus' elves have stepped up and spoke of the hideous truth about the jolly ol' Saint Nick.

"He would make us sneak into people's houses, down the chimneys, since he obviously can't fit in it, of course. Then he made us to the most heartbreaking and cruel thing: to leave the toy in a stranger's house! We spent so much time and effort on it, and we all get so emotionally attached to it. And here, he tells us to put the toy down under a plastic tree. Then, the cookies and milk, we get none of that! It's all for Santa, but it's really us elves who did the work..." expressed the brave elf, Theodore Thimby.

How is Hogwarts handling the news of this scandal?
Several students were spotted sending back their gifts to the North Pole. Others made use of their present to show that the present was worth giving.

Mr Claus will be holding a press conference, live from the North Pole, later on this week. Stay tuned!
