News and Noteworthy Events
By arasukishi
Greetings, fellow snakes! Another month gone and a new one approaching - what extraordinary events happened this May 2016? Read on to find out.
A Greedy Goblin's Raffle May 2
Dolores Umbridge arrives in time for April Fools! Watch in horror as everything in our beloved site turns a ghastly shade of pink, and witness friends turn against each other as they choose between two opposing sides. Do you swear loyalty by Dumbledore's Army, defenders against everything that is Umbridge? Or do you team up with Dear Dolores to wreak havoc on the school system as we know it? Whether you're an active member of either side or not, there's no escape from the evil clutches of Dolores Umbridge and her ridiculous shades of pink.

The Marketing Department May 12
To keep HEXians updated on all the fantabulous things that constantly happen on the site, the Administrators and Site Staff have joined forces to whip up a new department: The Marketing Department. To quote the official press release announcing this development, the Marketing Department "creates and runs [sic] multiple email campaigns to keep users on HEX informed of all the things going on as well as providing some other fun tidbits of information." To make things even better, the official HEX newsletter has been called the Dirigible Plum! Check your email inboxes for more details.
