  1. Six years ago, I was offered the opportunity to become a co-leader for Slytherin. It was extremely nerve-wracking. Despite coming from a rival house, I was given the blessing, support, and guidance of Slytherin staff. In a few short months, Slytherin already felt like home. After a poor decision on my part, I ended up in the hospital at the end of my first year as a Slytherin. I'll be forever grateful for the way everyone stepped up and came together to fill in for me.

    This past term, I conducted Promising Student training for the first time. For me, the three participants were an excellent reminder of the diversity of HOL. One is brand new to the world of Harry Potter mainly searching for a supportive community. One has been quieter and is starting to venture into doing more for HOL. One was returning to HOL after a brief hiatus. It was so refreshing to see them bounce ideas off of each other and come up with a cohesive and fun activity for everyone.

    Although there are many more stories, these are the bookends of my experiences as Slytherin Head of House. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in my HOL journey. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to keep in touch. Otherwise, I wish you the best and perhaps our paths will cross again someday!

  2. As you might be able to guess, I love strategy games! I especially like games that have multiple ways to win.

    I am usually a little competitive, but I have also really enjoyed games that require collaboration.

    If the game is fun, the length usually doesn't bother me. It is nice to be able to fit a couple different games in one board game session though!

    I'm awful at lying, so I don't do well with any games that require it. I have a slight obsession with dice, so I tend to gravitate toward games that let me use many dice. Pretty pictures help too.

  3. We are very fortunate to have such hardworking staff members in the Dungeons! So much so that several of them of outgrown their current roles.

    Please welcome your new Prefects... Aurelia WestLouis Walles, and Lucia Dinapoli!

    I'm also happy to announce that Prof. Will Lestrange has agreed to take on the title of Head of House

    Congratulations on your promotions! I can't wait to see what you will all bring to our house in the upcoming year!

  4. During a brief recess, five members of the jury decided to have a snack.
    Each person was a different age and selected a different sweet.
    Most of the jury members have already made up their mind about the guilty party (Basil or Brabas), but one is still undecided.
    From the information provided, determine the age of each juror, which snack they ate, and who they think is guilty.

    1. The oldest juror is 52 years old and did not have the Liquorice Wand. Ms. Sully didn't have a Sugar Quill.
    2. Mr. Orion is younger than the male juror who believes Brabas is guilty. The 45 year old didn't have the Chocolate Cauldron or the Liquorice Wand.
    3. Of Ms. Dragonfly and Ms. Sully, one is the youngest juror of the five and the other believes Brabas is guilty. The 38 year old juror who had Fizzing Whizzbees is male.
    4. The youngest juror is half the age of the oldest - they are also not the same gender. Mr. Mandrake is not the undecided jury member.
    5. The five jurors are Ms. Roderick, the one who had a Sugar Quill, the two who believe Basil is guilty, and the 52 year old. The female juror who had Cockroach Clusters is five years older than the youngest juror.

  5. Team Basil has really ramped up... taking a commanding lead! But there's still a week until the final verdict is declared!

    • As you prepare to testify, make sure you have your keywords ready.
    • Things aren't just black and white... err... silver and green in this case.
    • Put your detective skills to the test! Take a good look at the witnesses.
    • How aggressive will you be in your cross-examination?

    Are you already convinced? Which party is guilty? The closing arguments are coming up!

    Attendees of the Logic Puzzle Race and Wiki Races showed quick thinking! It was so much fun that we're doing more next week!

  6. The Court Scribe has to step out unexpectedly and asks you to fill in for the next five witnesses. 
    You hastily write down everything, but the notes are all jumbled.
    Make sure you can sort out the details before the trial is over!
    Figure out the order in which the witnesses testified, how long they were on the stand, and the location where they saw the guilty party.

    1. Silvana wasn't the last person to testify. The one who spoke for 12 minutes saw someone in the Dungeons. Hannah was on the stand for 13 minutes.
    2. Hannah testified immediately before Maeve. Lorainia wasn't the fifth witness called. The Kitchens was mentioned in the 9-minute testimony.
    3. Of the fourth and fifth witnesses, one was on the stand for 8 minutes and the other was talking about the Astronomy Tower.
    4. The first witness didn't mention the Great Lake. Silvana, the fourth witness, and the one on the stand for 12 minutes were all different people. Aurelia wasn't in the Entrance Hall.
    5. The testimony about the Kitchens was two people after Hannah. The fourth witness was on the stand for either 7 minutes or 12 minutes.

  7. Brabas currently has more support than Basil, but not all of the witnesses have testified just yet!

    • Make sure your witness pass is visible at all times!
    • You are welcome to get settled in the witness waiting room and help others find their way there.
    • When you are ready, provide your witness perspective to the jury.
    • Which testimonies seem real to you? Chime in the discussion brewing the the Jury Room!

    The initial testimonies seem innocent enough... But will anyone crack during the cross examinations?
