News and Noteworthy Events

Hello dearies, how have you all been since our last meet? Good, I hope. Now this edition of SOUP is a bit different. Last month, your two favorite reporters barely made it out alive... okay "barely" is a bit of a stretch. Pansy's closet was more than well stocked on food and Louboutins, but regardless, we survived. You all won't have to live without us. You're welcome.
This month, however, seems to have also descanted into madness. The school term is over and well... the rebellion has started. I know, I know, you're all thinking, "...Why didn't they do this at the beginning of the year to avoid doing homework?!" And while that is a good question, it's WRONG. People want to move up a year and heading a full-scale invasion is a prime reason to not let someone pass.
So, in the midst of this entire anarchist revolt, the staff has tried to hold an election. And while it was a success, there were also many instances of people running for a position coming away with either an elephant trunk or zebra stripes due to the turmoil of curses attacking everyone who ventured anywhere near civilization.
As the smoke cleared and the pranksters finally were knocked out retired from their shenanigans, we were able to see the new staff that will lead the Houses in the term to come. But the real shocker that came from this election was the announcement of Mrs. Norris's retirement, in which case Slytherin has elected our very own SOUP Editor, Alisha, to take over as House Cat and Caretaker's Helper...she does not know of the latter currently. Good luck!
Also amongst the wreckage of the Houses after all this hullabaloo is the emergence of a new sitewide competition: Hex's Next Top Graphic Designer. This new contest has provided countless hours of entertainment where users are thrown into an arena armed with only a paintbrush and fresh berries to crush into paint. We look forward to seeing a Slytherin bring home the trophy or golden chisel or something like that. Go, go Slytherin!
Pssst! PSSST! Hey you. Wanna hear a juicy secret we just ran across while scoping out a nearby ice cream shop? You have to promise to never breathe word to another soul or we'll be done for... Well, rumor has it, some very exciting things are going to be happening in the near future. You should all be on the look out for some little Slythedors and Ravenpuffs sleuthing around, but who knows what kind of shenanigans those creature might pull.
Until next time (as long as you all don't blab our secrets!),
Tyler and Lu.
