| Penshire Prattle
Billy Raven Penshire is certainly coming off a successful month, December, with our biggest best post War ever! We had 17 participants and 6 of them racked up their post number and addition of numbers in 4 digits, Sam, Bry, Keato, Em, Faith, and Deirdre. The biggest winner, of course, was the house with an addition of over 11 thousand posts. January has 3 birthdays, on the 3rd was Makayla Malfoy's, on the 5th we celebrated Professor Lunar's, and the big party was on the 12th with it being Roger Davies turning ond year older. So far this month we only seen 1 newbie join the Shire fold, that was Missa Faye. Its been a good month with activities as we are currently in a house 'challenge' and we hear more things are coming down the road. Other news, Sapphire had to step into an Assistant Prefect spot with all her Muggle stuff going on, it was hard for her to come in and post and take of her responsibilities as Prefect. Stepping up to Prefect is Emmaline Bagman, moving up from Assistant. We hope to see a lot more of Sapphire and we are happy for Em!! |
| The Crane Train
By Bryony Casten I don�t know how it is in the other houses, but Penshire�s new members have been� limited, to say the least. Perhaps they�re all getting lost trying to find their way to the fifth floor? I think I might start putting up signs� �We don�t bite! Fifth floor this way!� and hope that it does some good. This month we welcomed one new member, Missa Faye. Welcome to Penshire, Missa! |
| Penshire Prattle: A Jubilant January
By Bry Casten The Penshire Common Room is picking up! In January we had some great planned activities, not to mention some spur-of-the-moment fun and excitement as well! Samuel Craft organized our first Point-a-Thon of the year, and this one was a bit different than all the others we�ve had yet, directing students more specifically as to how they should earn points. It�s still in progress; let�s keep our fingers crossed that it can push Penshire up a bit! It was recently announced that Emmaline Bagman, former prefect assistant, and Sapphire Lyze, former prefect, would be switching spots! Sapphie has been unbelievably busy in her Muggle life (I would know, being her sister! I haven�t seen her in a week!), and she didn�t feel like she was holding up her side of the bargain. After talking to Professor Ripley, they worked out a great solution�Emmaline is a new Penshire prefect, and Sapphie is going to stick to being Prefect Assistant for awhile. Congrats Emma, and good luck Sapphire!! |
| Christmas in the Shire
Billy Raven No this isn't going to be about the holiday, per say, but more about some of the 'live' gifts that were given which has caused some amusement in the common room. First, you all know Faith Puppy, the Shire's favorite student who changes into a puppy form? I will warn you though; she has a likening for snagging wands as if they are chew toys! Anyway, in our in-house gift exchange, Professor Lunar gave Professor Ripley (and the house) a puppy! He was quickly named Frodo and is very active. Next Maykay got a pygmy puff, a ball of fluffy fun who she named Edmett, for obvious reasons. Then Lynexe gave me (Billy) a puppy and he is too rad to even tell you about, but his name is Spitz! And we have Oreo, the cat running around too! Now you can see why the house is so active lately, Faith has some pals to cause trouble, I mean, have fun with and throw in a cat and a fuzzy ball with eyes and well, no telling where the adventures will lead to...course everyone had to sign-up for 'poop-scopping' duty if any accidents occurred! |
| They are Inseparatible
Billy Raven Ever since they laid eyes on each other, you see then together all the time. Often they are joined by another and make it a threesome. Running around, chasseing each other, nipping each other's ears and basically getting in trouble. Who am I talking about? Why Frodo, Spitz and sometimes 'puppy'. Sure the common room can be dangerous, they love to drag off cushions from the couches and chairs and don't even leave your wand laying around, it may look like a wand to you, but to them its a chew toy! |
| Muggle Exams Effect Penshire!
Billy Raven Our Head's Up section is fast filling with students needing a bit of time off to study and take exams. Not the Hogwarts types either. Faith was our most recent along with Rose Granger, and Lynexe Couronne. Of course we all wished them well and study cause its important, and hurry back. Mom tells them their Muggle education is number 1 and reminds them to eat and get plenty of rest. We also saw Matilda Maxwell split for a while, but she went camping. I know! But hey, she's not in UK or USA, so her weather is different! I'm sure these folks are going to be the only ones taking some time to do Muggle school work, so be patient with them and wish them luck, you will soon be off doing the same! |
