By Slytherin House
The house of Slytherin has been working hard on compiling a book for the library, it is the Slytherin Dictionary. So often we speak and other students just don�t understand what we are saying or referring to, so the idea of the book was born. Working hard are the house�s wordsmiths and grammar techies. Just so you get a idea of what coming we decided to give you a taste of some of the dictionaries entries.
Awesomistic-adj. Describing something that is cool, amazing, or more than just awesome.
Organumization - n. Being orderly; like organized, but better.
Uberlytastic - adj. - a describing word used when "uber" just isn't enough.
Uber - adj. A describing word for something that needs more emphasis.
Squibbery - adj. The act of being a Squib.
Swaction - nounjective. Sweet + action.
Scone - n. cookie like treat loved by most Slytherins, especially their Head of House; a horrible disease caused by JUNK of Slytherin
Wowtastic - adj. something so amazing it makes you go "wow".
As you can see, this is just to tease you to wanting more, that�s called �baiting�, so be on the look-out soon the Slytherin Dictionary.

"Friends are just enemies who don't have the guts to kill you."
�I approve of teamwork, as long as I don't have to do it.�
�You know what they say, sometimes you kick the tree, and sometimes the tree jumps over the hedgehog.�
�Life looks better through a cookie, because cookies don't have any holes, so all you see is a cookie!�
With these few phrases to live by, one can only hope that you can attain the same sort of �nirvana� as we crazy Ravens have. Because we�re eccentricity exemplified, and you�re all just jealous that you�re not as eccentric as we are.

By Slytherin House
Piper started this survey: What house would you pick if you weren�t sorted in the Noble House of Slytherin. The names have been removed to protect the innocent, but here are most of the houses the snakes would choice and some reasons�I think you will be able to
tell when our Head of house decided to speak up.
* I chose Hufflepuff...
* Hufflepuff�
* HUFFLEPUFF????????
* ARE YOU ALL MENTAL? I cannot believe you would go to the house that....Lockhart runs. I would even take Penshire OVER Hufflepuff!
* Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-but, I like Slytherin.
* Hufflepuff?!?!? I�m shocked! I agree with Prof. Snape, I�d take Penshire over Hufflepuff! Penshire!
* I would take the Gryffindorkles over Huffinpuffs but am not saying I would go into Gryffindorkles.
* No Huff-and-cream-puff for me... as loyal as they might be I don't want to be Sukiro-on-a-spit for dear Prof. Lockhart�s next house gathering. He does have a rather lovely relationship with the pixies though. I suppose we'll ask him for help for the "take over the
world with pink hair bows" attempt. I suppose Ravenclaw.
*falls over laughing*
Well said. I, personally, would be in Ravenclaw--they're closest to Slytherin--and after them, Penshire. Not Gryffindor. NEVER Hufflepuff.
* Shire or Rave.
* I'm pretty sure it was either the Raves or the Pennies..
* If I hadn't been placed in Slytherin, which is both an unthinkable and ridiculous idea, I suppose it would be Ravenclaw as I am a bit bossy as Ravies tend to be.
* A bit?
* Humph, Yes only a bit
* A bit? I think that's a little ..... ok not a little... that's way off. Pfft! a bit! Man you've lost it.
*shakes head*
Cool it you two.. Anyway, getting back on topic - I'd probably go with either Penshire or Ravenclaw, for the simple facts that:
1. Red does not in anyway suit me and I have probably made waaay too many enemies in Griff already...plus I would most likely be the one to push someone off a cliff rather than jump off it.
2. I am creative and have my brilliant moments.
3. Prof. Lockhart and yellow...need I say more?
But as Sir would never let me go..as sad as that is ((ahh.. my sarcasm overwhelms me sometimes)) you're all stuck with me.
* I must have voted but didn't post. I do remember who I voted for, so I will, like Jess, explain my self.
1.) NEVER Gryffindork, too high and mighty for my taste, though I do like Professor Opal and O'Connell.
2.) NEVER Hufflepuff, come on, Professor Lockhart as Head of House? First, he would work you to death and take all the credit, and second, the over use of that cheap aftershave would give me headaches!
3.) NEVER, NEVER Ravenclaw! Not that I don't like Professor Fariydust, I adore her, she is so sweet, and I like Cedric too, but really..................this house has had a long, long standing rivalry with them that I can't just dismiss.
4.) I would go to Penshire; they seem pretty fun and don't seem to cause too much trouble. I like the idea of creating things, though I am not that talented in music or dance, or even poetry, but I do dabble in art some. Anyway, I like the name.
*Probably Ravenclaw, or Penshire... But I'd never leave Slytherin

10. Having your common room on the seventh floor of the castle finally comes in handy.
9. It's the one day of the year where Gryffindors are allowed to be Gryffindors. *innocent*
8. It's the only time that students from other houses can't complain about pranks that you pull on them.
7. No one can complain when you're caught in the dungeons after hours. *shifty*
6. Slytherins actually regret calling you a "Gryffindork"
5. Then they don't mess with you for the rest of term.
4. And you can tell people that you have nothing to do with what happened in the Hufflepuff Common Room.
3. Because you had nothing to do with it.
2. Really.
1. Did I mention that it's a day dedicated to pranking people
By E. Lovegood
Recently I decided to sport a new siggie in my Common Room. On it I placed a picture of me (Erica) in the middle but made it really light. In my eyes, it was clearly viewable but I knew that it was because I made it. As I displayed in my CR, I got an immediate complement from Summer and Luna about it, but a day or so later, Summer finally saw the picture!
Summer: :o I just noticed that you have a picture of your celeb in your siggy, Erica! :lol:
Me :lol!
Arya: Oh, that's freaky! It pokes out from the darkness. :mellow:
Summer: :lol:
Me: :innocent:
Later Jacyn had a similar story and so did Lucius.
Jacyn: Erica, have I told you that I find your siggy awesomely eerie?
Me: Um, no why?
Jacyn: The face. It's awesome, yet eerie, how you can't see it, and then you can. Really cool.
Me: Thanks lol
Luc: What face?
Me: The face in the middle :shifty:
And Luc couldn't see it but now he did�I think�and so did JoJo and Emma and they seemed shocked/proud that they eventually did! But my question is, can you see the face?
