Weekend Report - Trelawney Style

Welcome to another edition of Weekend Report.  In our top story, Mid-month-pause.
Complaints have been comming in from all corners of common room about the mid-month-pause.  This condition causes a crafter to look at the remining classes and turn to an often times neglected OWL for support and comfort. 

One Slytherin was quoted as saying, "I'm simply out of inspiration for the classes I haven't done." 

In an effort to battle the listnessness we present some liquid inspiration loosly tied to the class assignments.  Please remember an age line has been cast around the rest of this post.  If you are under legal drinking age and attempt the following "crafts" you will grow hair in unwaxable places and the hotties will shun you.
