I'm Rockinsticks and this is Weekend Report.  In our Top Story - youngins.  With the sorting ending soon Slytherin house has enjoyed visitors from the potential first year pool.  As we all know finding the perfect house for you is sometimes quite daunting as all four offer friendship, support, and love.  Though ours comes with hotties.  In order to help sort out the unsorted, Jesseknits that mistress of all things (un)holy, gathered serpentine input on the
