What a nail-biting exciting week to watch the homework roll in! First the Gryffs were ahead, but then we snaked in and took over, then they jumped ahead again, then the Puffs looked like they were going to come from behind while the Claws were slowly and stealthily keeping pace, then we and the Gryffs were tied and then, I’m very proud to say, our cunning blasted full force and we won the week.
This week has Noble Slytherin dominating the classrooms:
1. Slytherin with 73
2. Gryffindor with 66
3. Ravenclaw with 59
4. Hufflepuff with 58
There’s still time to get in your last minute homework assignments for February (and OWLs at their halfway point). Remember if you just can’t make it – turn in your partial homework!
Go Snakes!
By the way, I just got back from visiting Chichen itza (a Mayan pyramid) and their most powerful and revered god? A feathered snake. Cancun actually means snake basket, so it’s nice and homey if you get the chance to go.
Now get crafty and turn in your stuff.

Diminuendo The Rest
It's Hogsmeade Weekend!!! Woohooo!!!
So rather than show off whats been happening outside the common room, run, don't walk to Hogsmeade!
First up, you will need a MAP. This will link you to all of the Hogsmeade shops. There are shops in each of the common rooms and in the Main House Cup threads.
Each of the shops will have activities that you can try. Some are crafting related and some are not. All are fun. Ravelry crafts that you complete for Hogsmeade can also be turned in for classes, quidditch, etc (assuming they also meet the prompt).
Some highlights:
Dye Self Striping yarn and make squares in Three Broomsticks. Awesome Tutorial!!
Get your bling on with Beads at Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop.
Go on a Scavenger Hunt at the Wizarding Wireless Network.
Tell jokes and get some laughs at Zonko's Joke Shop.
Share some stories in the Hog's Head Inn - each day is a different theme.
The Shrieking Shack is for Enabling Enablers Who Enable.
Honeydukes Sweet Shop is about recipes and crafting food related items.
Help Baby Witch restock baby items and amigurumi.
Dervish and Banges is about refurbishing and repairing.
The OWL Post needs help with their Owl rotation.
Gladrags Wizardwear is about all things Mini- mini socks, mini sweaters, etc.
Make or read a book at Tomes & Scrolls.
Get your paper craft on at Scrivenshafts Quills.
Wisacre's Wizarding Equipment is having a Wiseacre’s Modular Madness Sale!
And don't forget the shopping - Knockturn Alley.
Happy Hogsmeade Weekend!!

Slytherin Hottie League
Let's take a look at how last week shook down...
Woah...just woah! Who saw the tight race between DT and Mark Harmon coming? Not this guy. The silver fox just couldn't overcome the overwhelming following David Tennant has in the Pit. Hugh Jackman's domination continues, can he hold on? Can our 3 shut out Hotties break through this week?
