News and Noteworthy Events
By Tyler and Lu


In the recent, sudden change of weather, we see that Hex has exploded with new events and contests galore. And by events, I mean we recently found out that Slytherin was harboring a baby fugitive and that Luna... well Luna accidentally opened a portal to another dimension or two. But that's totally nothing compared to a wild Friday night in the Common Room. Things can get crazy here, like, pin the tail on the donkey crazy.

Now, I know what you're thinking: “WHAT ABOUT SAINT PATRICK'S DAY. HE BANISHED ALL SNAKES FROM IRELAND, WHERE'S HIS CELEBRATION?!” And first of all: you're right, and second of all: calm down, we're getting there. It seems Madam Rosmerta opened The Three Broomsticks for this special occasion where everyone was able to purchase some Irish Butterbeer (for those stressful days and help with writing essays) or obtain some special Green Roses.

Hogsmeade was alive and jumping with activity, contests were held out in the streets, prizes were thrown around, and it was a just gay ol' time.

And in honor of the Easter holiday, Gryffindor has thrown us a hopping event in which Hagrid gets a teeny bit wasted. The groundskeeper kidnapped the beloved Easter Bunny, and users must scramble to free him before Easter is ruined! That folks, is why you don't leave the Common Room drunk. You might ruin a worldwide holiday. On the bright side, the event introduces a brand new item, Hagrid's Hut Playset.

As for dueling, Slytherin has taken the lead with one sure victory and judging by the looks of the others it could a clean sweep* in favor of Slytherin. Albeit, I know like almost zero things about dueling but with all those lovely posts how can we not win?

As for Quidditch, since Slytherin's victory, I've been a bit slack. I mean, I'll even admit I literally don't even know the names of the other Houses, but I suppose I can try to dig up some intel on them. Aha! It seems I'm a few days on the Quidditch gossip (those Irish Butterbeers really knock it out of ya...), but I've learned from just a tiny bit of torturing interrogating that Gryffindor (I remembered!) has triumphed over Ravenclaw. Silly birds, the lion would totally eat you if this were the African Savannah.

Now, back to Slytherin news, March's Heir of Slytherin and fellow SOUP-er, Shaya Mason has been caught in a flurry of admirers, chasing him down the streets and even going as far as shoving past the doorman of his building. Now, instead of trying to break up the riot like any normal coworker would, I might've egged it on a bit. Not my fault, I totally blame mob mentality.

Best Wishes,
Tyler and Lu.
