	HUFFLEPUFF WEEK 3 UPDATE Movies Script a scene from the Sorcerer's Stone book that was omitted completely from the movie. Do not just type out the dialogue – also include some descriptions of actions and scenery, etc. Also, must not be overly short. May do up to 3. 40 points. EXT: CORRIDOR BENEATH THE TALLEST TOWER OF HOGWARTS - NEAR MIDNIGHT HARRY POTTER and HERMIONE GRANGER walk with NOBERT in a crate under the invisibility cloak. HARRY POTTER (Panting) Nearly there! SUDDENLY Harry and Hermione stop. Camera zooms to where they are looking. Outlines of two people talking make they way towards Harry and Hermione. A lamp shows up revealing PROF. MCGONAGALL holding DRACO MALFOY by the ear. PROF. MCGONAGALL (shouting) Detention! And twenty points from Slytherin! Wandering around in the middle of the night, how dare you- Gets cut off by Malfoy DRACO MALFOY You don't understand, Professor, Harry Potter's coming - he's got a dragon! PROF. MCGONAGALL What utter rubbish! How dare you tell such lies! Come on - I shall see Professor Snape about you, Malfoy! LONG SHOT as Malfoy and Prof. McGonagall disappear. EXT: STEEP SPIRAL STAIRCASE Harry and Hermione climb the stairs under the invisibility cloak with Nobert. EXT: ON TOP OF THE TOWER - MOMENTS LATER Step ouside, Harry and Hermione throw off the invisibility cloak. Hermione does some kind of jig. HERMIONE Malfoy's got detention! I could sing! HARRY Don't MEDIUM SHOT on Nobert in his crate. CUT TO: Four outlines appear in the stary sky and come down to the tower. CUT TO: Harry and Hermione helping CHARLIE and the three others buckle Nobert in the harness and make sure it is secure. Done, they shake hands and thank each other. EXT: STEEP SPIRAL STAIRCASE Harry and Hermione come down, leaving the invisibility cloak over at the tower. CUT TO: Harry and Hermione arrive at the bottom of the stairs. Out of the darkness, looms FILCH's face. FILCH Well, well, well. We are in trouble. ~ Lady Jedi Skywalker Things to Come Which minor character will become a major character in the 6th book? Why? May do up to 5 characters. 5 points. WARNING: CONTAINS OOTP SPOILERS 1. Remus Lupin - After having a minor role (major being at the same level as Harry, Ron, and Hermione) in the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Order of the Phoenix (and only being mentioned in the Goblet of Fire), Remus’ character will get a step up as he is the only marauder left to both take care of Harry and remind the readers of the past. Remus will be left to do what he will to make sure Harry survives the 6th book, and that will take a lot of doing since Harry will more than likely become isolated from everyone after Sirius’ death. 2. Neville Longbottom - After the revelation that it was between him and Harry to be the one to defeat Voldemort, Neville’s character will be more driven in the 6th book. Also, his character was given more depth when Harry, Ron, and Hermione met Neville’s parents in St. Mungo’s upon their visit to Mr. Weasley, so it foreshadows a new beginning for Neville. 3. Luna Lovegood - Now that Luna is “officially” part of the gang, and one of the only ones left that will fight with Harry, her character will have a major role in book 6. The story will focus around the last remaining kids and adults linked to the Order, so the very few characters that are left involved will be important to the story. 4. Ginny Weasley - No longer just the Weasley sister, Ginny will show her quality in the 6th book. She has shown her willingness to help with her acts to stop Umbridge in the OotP. She blindly rode the flying monsters to help Harry find Sirius, making her in the league of Hermione and Ron. Also, she was there to help Harry in the end, her character will be more thorough as she was there at Sirius’ end as well as him. 5. Nymphadora Tonks - With just a minor role in the OotP, Tonks will move up to the major character category. The fact that she is a shape-shifter, will give her far more advantages and opportunities to go on missions in the Order. Though her character will not be as strong as Ginny or Neville’s, her character will be more like that of Snape’s. While he gives his service to the order through reconnaissance and potion making, Tonks will offer her services in the way of espionage and undercover work. ~All done by Bobakoon List some possible romantic pairings for the 6th and or 7th books and explain why they are or aren't likely to happen. 5 points each. May do up to 5. 1. Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks: Despite the age gap, the two would represent the opposites attract romantic pairing. The calm, reserved werewolf and the saucy, hyper shape-shifter. After the death of a certain person, both could find help in each other. 2. Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley: If (and only if) Draco gets fed up about fearing his father Lucius and defies the dark lord, he will join Harry in his fight and not the death eaters. If this were to happen, he could strike up a relationship with Ginny, who has fought with him many times, but could have been out of attraction instead of anger. 3. Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphadora Tonks: The two aurors could become lovers after continuing to go on missions together for the Order. As the missions become more and more dangerous, the pair could fall in love. 4. Harry Potter and Cho Chang: This pairing will not happen in the next books. With Cho’s desperate monologues about how she loves Cedric and is just using Harry for information, every HP fan in the world hates Cho as does Harry for being used. Harry will never get back together with Cho. 5. Arabella Figg and Mundungus Fletcher: Two people who seemingly hate each other with a passion and are, by most people’s means, beyond the age where they can fall in love. But the lonely cat-obsessed witch and the forgetful thief could finally find their true loves in each other. ~All done by Bobakoon Things That Were What House was Cornelius Fudge in (if he attended Hogwarts)? Why? 10 points. He was in Slytherin because he used his cunning and any means to achieve his ends. ~ Yoda_yo_mama What House was Sybil Trelawney in (if she attended Hogwarts)? Why? 10 points. She was in Ravenclaw beause she has a "ready mind" to see her visions. She also has "wit and learning", but unfortunately not enough to always interpret correctly ~ Yoda_yo_mama Humor Write a commentary by Lee Jordan of a Quidditch game at Hogwarts, with some of Professor McGonnegal's comments as well. 25 points. [set in the 3rd book, cause I know the character names - >_< ] Lee Jordan: Alrighty-o! Welcome to the second match of the season! Recovering from a terrible loss that was certainly not the fault of this beyond perfect team, but the carelessness of... Prof. McGonnegal: Jordan, I won’t warn you all game. Keep this up and you’ll be cleaning Filch’s trophies with your tongue. [hoots and cheers are heard from the Slytherin side] Lee: shudders Um...okay, so it’s Gryffindor versus Slytherin today. Prof. M: rolls eyeballs I’m allowing you to put some flavor in it, at least. That’s why you are STILL the announcer for the quidditch games. Lee: Ha-Ha! pumps fist in the air Prof. M: For now at least. Lee: oh. Prof. M: You may want to introduce the players since they’ve just arrived. Lee: Oh, yeah, sure. Prof. M: sighs Students. Lee: Arriving on the field is the most talked about and talented quidditch team Hogwarts has EVER assembled. Fans welcome the Gryffindor Lions! [cheers are heard] Consisting of the finest keeper, seeker, beaters, and chasers... Snape: Aren’t you going to say anything? Prof. M: I’ll allow it. [smirks] Lee: And now the greatest house team is joined by the cough sucky cough Slytherin. [Snape looks over angrily] Prof. M: [hands Lee a cough drop and smirks] Better watch that cold, Jordan. Lee: Yes, mam! And the teams are up in the air. Madam Hooch throws up the quaffle with the whistle and the snitch is released. Let the game begin! Angelina Johnson makes a terrific dive and snatches the quaffle from the far-too-slow slytherin chaser. She twists and swerves fantastically...I LOVE YOU, ANGELINA! Prof. M: slaps Lee in the back of the head Lee: Ow! [rubs head] Uh...Angelina passes the quaffle to Alicia Spinnet who travels the length of the field and winds up to throw and ...FOR THE LOVE OF MERLIN! Can someone say FOUL? Stupid, stinking... Prof. M: Jordan! Knock it off. Lee: Anyway...Slytherin seems to have taken possession of the quaffle without any skill, of course [boos are heard]. Yeah, yeah, love you too. The chaser flies down the field and YES! Fred Weasley hits a bludger straight to that completely deserving son of a... Prof. M: JORDAN! Lee: I was gonna say witch...it’s a compliment by all means. [grins] The quaffle is recovered by the gorgeous Katie Bell. You look wonderful, darling! [Katie gives a wave and Prof. McGonnegal slaps Lee again] You know, you could NOT do that. Prof. M: That is always an option, so I’ve heard. Lee: And? Prof. M: Get back to the game, Jordan. Lee: sighs Katie makes it down to the other end, quickly passes it to Alicia and YES! 10 points for Gryffindor! Eat that, you bloody snakes! [Snape slaps Lee this time] That doesn’t seem very fair. Snape: I’ll show you FAIR in class tomorrow, Jordan. Lee: gah! Prof. M: Jordan! The game. Lee: Oh. Uh...slytherin’s got possession and they make it down to the other end and HOLY GODRIC GRYFFINDOR! Katie is taken down by a bludger sent by one of the slytherin beaters. The chasers make it down to the poles and they throw and a miss! HA! The ever fantastic Oliver Wood makes another great save. I’m sure his fan girls are proud. [swoons are heard] [Snape groans in disgust] Angelina takes hold of the ball now. Katie is getting carried away as the game continues. C’mon, Gryffindor! Snape: [looks pointedly at McGonnegal] Well? Prof. M: I’ll allow it. Lee: Angelina is up for the throw and OUCH. Denied by another bludger. She is one tough cookie. Slytherin scoops up the ball and...[gets pushed out of the way] Prof. M: Potter! LOOK OUT! [Harry turns around and swerves in time to miss getting hit by a bludger] [Snape looks at McGonnegal in awe as Lee straightens his shirt] Lee: [looks at Snape and smiles] I’ll allow it. [McGonnegal gives Lee his job of announcing back] Harry Potter quickly maneuvers in time and now catches sight of the snitch. He dives and dives and ....dives. That boy can certainly control a broom. How far down is he going? Um, Harry may want to stop at any time now. Potter keeps spinning down and oh, wow. He pulls up and waves the snitch wildly in the air! YES! GRYFFINDOR WINS!!!! GRYFFINDOR WINS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA.... Prof. M: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Snape: shudders ~ Bobakoon -----signature----- "Have you ever killed a man? Ever see a man die in combat?

Jack’s Lament from The Nightmare Before Christmas There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best For my talents are renowned far and wide When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms I have seen grown men give out a shriek With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the sound of screams And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King Have grown so tired of the same old thing Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to growThere's something out there, far from my home A longing that I've never known I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout England and France And since I am dead, I can take off my head To recite Shakespearean quotations No animal nor man can scream like I can With the fury of my recitations But who here would ever understand That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understoodHe'd give it all up if he only could Oh, there's an empty place in my bones That calls out for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears -Snape’s Lament There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best For my talents are renowned across this school When it comes to the brewing in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort of my stirring charms I have seen grown men transform and shriek With the wave of my wand, and a well-placed speech I have changed the very bravest from their feet Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the smell of newts And I, Snape, the Potion King Have grown so tired of the same old thing Oh, somewhere deep inside of these walls An emptiness began to grow There's something out there, for me to find A teaching job I've never known I'm the master of brews, and the leader of blends And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Ravenclaw, I am his worst nightmare And I'm known throughout the Slytherin house And since I am mean, I can yell off their heads To recite Galilean alchemy No lion nor snake can roar like I can With the fury of my recitations But who here would ever understand That the Potion King with the non-existent grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understood He'd give it all up if he only could Oh, there's an empty place in my heart That calls out for the dark arts job The fame and praise come year after yearDoes nothing for these empty tears 4.

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun, If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks. And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I live to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound. I grant I never saw a goddess go, My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. And yet, by Heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. My Quidditch Team is Nothing Like the ‘Dors (as in Gryffindors - sigh) My Quiddtich team is nothing like the ‘dors, Potter is far more fast than my broom’s fast. If strength be best, why then we are outscored, If wit be tops, Ravenclaw will ever last. I have seen banners fly high, red and gold, But no such colors see I in the halls. And in some people is there more cold Than in the team that from my losings call. I like to hear them speak, yet well I know That truth hath a far more pleasing sound. I grant I never saw the winners go, My teammates, when we walk, tread on the ground. And yet, by Merlin, I think my team as rare As any we belied with false compare. 2 and 3. Parts III and IV of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s "The Lady of Shalott" MJS said that they could count as two different ones as the poem is long Part III A bowshot from her bower eaves, He rode between the barley sheaves, The sun came dazzling through the leaves, And flamed upon the brazen greaves Of bold Sir Lancelot. A red-cross knight forever kneeledTo a lady in his shield, That sparked on the yellow field, Beside remote Shalott. The gemmy bridle glittered free, Like to some branch of stars we see Hung in the golden Galaxy. The bridle bells rang merrily As he rode down to Camelot; And from his blazoned baldric slung A mighty silver bugle hung, And as he rode his armor rung, Beside remote Shalott. All in the blue unclouded weather Thick-jeweled shone the saddle leather, The helmet and the helmet-feather Burned like on burning flame together, As he rode down to Camelot; As often through the purple night, Below the starry clusters bright, Some bearded meteor, trailing light, Moves over still Shalott. His broad clear brow in sunlight glowed; On burnished hooves his war horse trode; From underneath his helmet flowed His coal-black curls as on he rode, As he rode down to Camelot. From the bank and from the river He flashed into the crystal mirror, “Tirra lirra,” by the river Sang Sir Lancelot. She left the web, she left the loom, She made three paces through the room, She saw the water lily bloom, She saw the helmet and the plume, She looked down to Camelot. Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror cracked from side to side; “The curse is come upon me,” cried The Lady of Shalott. Part IV In the stormy east wind straining, The pale yellow woods were waning, The broad stream in his banks complaining,Heavily the low sky raining Over towered Camelot; Down she came and found a boat Beneath a willow left afloat, And round about the prow she wrote The Lady of Shalott. And down the river’s dim expanse Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance - With a glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot. And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott. Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right - The leaves upon her falling light - Through the noises of the night She floated down to Camelot; And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott. Heard a carol, mournful, holy, Chanted loudly, chanted lowly, Till her blood was frozen slowly, And her eyes were darkened wholly, Turned to towered Camelot. For ere she reached upon the tide The first house by the waterside, Singing in her song she died, The Lady of Shalott. Under tower and balcony, By garden wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she floated by, Dead-pale between the houses high, Silent into Camelot. Out upon the wharfs they came, Knight and burgher, lord and dame, And round the prow they read her name, The Lady of Shalott. Who is this? And what is here? And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer;And they crossed themselves for fear, All the knights of Camelot: But Lancelot mused a little space; He said, “She has a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Shalott.” Bobakoon's The Lady of Hufflepuff Part III A small way from her shade of eaves, He rode between the grassy sheaves, The sun came splattered through the leaves, And flamed upon the silver greaves Of the bold Salazar. A silver knight forever kneeled To a serpent in his shield, That sparked on the yellow field, Beside the Lady Hufflepuff. The metal bridle spangled free, Like to some reach of stars we see Hung in the golden Galaxy. The battle bells rang clearly As he rode down to Hufflepuff; And from his overt weapon slung A mighty silver wand hung, And as he rode his armor rung, Toward lonely Hufflepuff. All in the gray and clouded weather Thick-jeweled shone the saddle leather, The helmet and the helmet-feather Burned like a silver flame together, As he rode down to Hufflepuff; As often through the purple night, Below the lunar cluster bright, Some tailed meteor, wishings might, Moves over still Hufflepuff. His broad clear brow in moonlight showed; On tarnished hooves his war horse trode; From underneath his helmet flowed His ice-white curls as on he rode, As he rode down to Hufflepuff. From the knoll and from the river He glanced into the crystal mirror,“For old times sake” by the river Whispered Salazar. She left the rose, she left the tomb, She made three paces through the room, She saw the anger in him bloom, She saw the helmet and the plume, She looked down to Salazar. Out flew her hair and floated wide; The building cracked from side to side; “The curse is come upon me,” cried The Lady of Hufflepuff. Part IV In the stormy west wind straining, The dark pitch black woods were waning, The broad stream in his words complaining, Heavily the low sky raining Over toward Hufflepuff; Down she came and found the man Beneath a willow his knees on land, And round about the scene she scanned The Lady of Hufflepuff. And down the knoll’s short expanse Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all her own mischance - With a crystal countenance Did she look to Salazar. And with the closing of the day She loosed her wand, and down it lay; The broad wind bore it far away, The Lady of Hufflepuff. Standing, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right - The leaves upon her falling light - Through the noises of the night She whispered down to Salazar; And as the wizard stepped along The willowy hills and fields among, He heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Hufflepuff. Heard a sound, mournful, holy, Chanted loudly, chanted lowly, Till her blood was frozen slowly, And her eyes were darkened wholly,Turned toward Salazar. For ere she reached and began to cry The first house to stand by side, Singing in her song she died, The Lady of Hufflepuff. Under tower and gray sky, By garden wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she collapsed by, Dead-pale next to the wizard high, Silent next to Salazar. Out upon the winds they came, Knight and Lady, lord and dame, And round the man they awed her name, The Lady of Hufflepuff. How is this? And what is here? And in the lighted castle near Died the sound of silent cheer; And they crossed themselves for fear, For fear of wizard Salazar: But Salazar mused a little space; He said, “She had a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Hufflepuff.” ~ All poems done by Bobakoon The Quidditch Spirit Create and name a professional Quidditch team.

Tor McIlroy - The captain of the Luxembourg Lightning. He is the starting beater of the team. Tor grew up in Norway and attended Bergen School of Wizardry where he became accustomed to play in the freezing wind, snow and rain. Before his 7th year the Luxembourg Lightning recruited him, but he decided to finish his schooling before traveling the world with his new Quidditch team. 2. Janus Ursula - The head chaser of the Luxembourg Lightning. Janus was home schooled by his witch mother until, when he was 15, went to a Quidditch game. Upon his request, Janus’ parents provided him with the training and equipment to become a chaser. At the age of 17, Janus was old enough to play, and was quickly recruited by the Lightning. 3. Stratis Alden - The lead seeker for the Luxembourg Lightning. Stratis grew up in Greece and attended Athen’s School for Spells and Curses. By his fifth year, Stratis was already an accomplished seeker, leading his team to victory for the four years that he played. He quickly joined the Lightning before the start of his 6th year term and is the youngest player on the team. 4. Marmara Radigast - The keeper of the Luxembourg Lightning. Marmara grew up in Sweden and attended Bergen School of Wizardry with Tor and Cooper. Although she initially wanted to pursue a career in the ministry in London, Marmara was convinced by her teammates to join them in the Quidditch League for the Luxembourg Lightning. 5. Zakan Theobald - The oldest member of the Luxembourg Lightning and is the other beater for the team. Zakan attended Berlin’s School for Charms and later made a job of charming objects for wizards. He, however, could not get over his Quidditch days, and after several tryouts, landed the position of beater on the Lightning. 6. Angelo Swithin - Chaser for the Luxembourg Lightning. Angelo grew up in the United States and attended Washington High School (which was a wizard’s school disguised as a private high school). After his schooling, Angelo moved to London where he tried out for several Quidditch teams. He was accepted to two teams, but decided on the Lightning. 7. Cooper Shamu - The last starting chaser on the squad. Cooper grew up in Finland, but attended Bergen School of Wizardry. Along with Marmara and Tor, they ruled over the Quidditch games for 6 years. When it came time to graduate, the three did not want to join separate teams, so they applied together. The trio were quickly scooped up by the Lightning days after their graduation. 8. Sabriha Urtengor - The replacement chaser for the Luxembourg Lightning. Sabriha grew up in the middle east but attended school at Beauxbatons. She quickly became a huge Quidditch star at her school and soon made her way north to the Lightning where she subs in for the some of the older members of her team. 9. Izzy Slavonic - The replacement seeker for the Luxembourg Lightning. Izzy attended Berlin’s School of Charms, even though he was originally from Denmark. While Zakan graduate far earlier than Izzy, Izzy modeled his Quidditch career after his favorite beater. After graduating, Izzy was ecstatic to find out that he had been accepted into the Lightning and became Stratis’ sub. 10. Ruaumoko Patera - The replacement keeper for the Luxembourg Lightning. Ruaumoko grew up in Japan and attended Hokkaido’s School for the Extraordinary. Specializing in potion making, she graduated two years early and got a side job with a wizard medicine company. When not replacing Marmara, she roots on her teammates and goes to work. 11. Rudra Ramsden - The replacement chaser for the Luxembourg Lightning. Rudra attended the New Delhi School for the Gifted. When the weather gets too humid and hot for the other chasers, Rudra replaces and excels on the field. When she’s not on the field, Rudra travels the world. 12. Shango Mainard - The replacement beater for the Luxembourg Lightning. Shango attended Hokkaido’s School for the Extraordinary with Ruaumoko. Shango left to get a job with the ministry, but soon found himself drawn back to the life of Quidditch. He is the second youngest on the team. Team Mascot: Zeus (which is usually Izzy with a beard and toga riding around on his broom casting light with his wand). Zeus is the mascot since he was the Greek God of Lightning. Team Colors: Dark Blue and Yellow. Yellow for the lightning and dark blue for the color of the sky that usually appears before it rains and thunders. ~ Bobakoon HUFFLEPUFF FOR THE CUP!!!! -----signature----- "Have you ever killed a man?

	Ravenclaw Update, Week 3 Books Why was Sirius' vault number (713) omitted from the American versions of the books? 5 points. I think it was omitted because it served no purpose in the general scheme of things. It seems to be a plot point that JKR decided not to use, and therefore dropped the idea from the American versions of the books, as if it were never there. I doubt if there was any real strategy to it--and I doubt the fact that his vault was #713 will ever come up again in the books. I look at it as a "deleted scene," sorta like in the bonus features on DVDs. [ousley] How and when did Sirius' parents die? 5 points. Mr. Black senior died in 1980 at the inauguration of a Quidditch stadium in Russia. When part of the grandstand broke down under him, he fell and broke his neck. He was dead instantly. The event created a scandal, and the building company who had erected the stadium was denounced for its supposed shoddy workmanship throughout the wizarding press. However, there were also rumors that Mr. Black had, in fact, made the grandstand break down with a spell in order to commit suicide, being depressed over the death of his son Regulus, who had been killed by (or on the order of) You-Know-You shortly before the event, and that Black's wealthy and influential family had hushed up the whole thing. Mrs. Black died in 1985 from an accidental overdose of sleeping potion (ever since the deaths of her son and husband, she hadn't been able to sleep without it). Since by that time, she lived all alone, without family, it was Kreacher the House Elf who found her body in the morning. [Devi] Can Parselmouths recognize other Parselmouths? If so, how? 5 points. I don't think a Parselmouth can tell whether someone else is a Parselmouth except by speaking in Parseltongue and noticing that the other understands what he's saying, or by hearing the other speak Parseltongue. Tom Riddle (in CoS) probably only knew that Harry was a Parselmouth because Ginny had mentioned it (after the incident in Dueling class) during her conversations with his diary. [Devi] Why is Hogwarts' motto "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus"? When did this motto begin to be used at Hogwarts, and who created it? 10 points. According to the information that I could obtain, "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus" means "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon." While good advice, it does not make a ton of sense in context with the current state of Hogwarts. The phrase goes back several hundred years, to when dragons were more common to be seen in the countryside and the magical creatures defenses weren't as strong. One made its way to the Hogwarts grounds, and a young First Year student thought it would be funny to tickle the dragon while it was asleep. So, he did, and the dragon woke up and almost killed him, but luckily some teachers were outside at the time and were able to make their way across the grounds and subdue the dragon. The student later grew up to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and decided to make that the school motto, as they needed one and he thought it would be pretty funny. The name stuck, and became tradition, and no one has tried to change it, even if most now don't even know what it means.

DRACO grins broadly. DRACO: Wonder how long Potter’s going to stay on his broom this time? Anyone want a bet? DRACO eyes CRABBE and GOYLE, then looks to RON. DRACO: What about you, Weasley?

CAMERA goes back to game, showing another HUFFLEPUFF PLAYER shooting a penalty. CAMERA back to DRACO. DRACO: It’s people they feel sorry for. See, there’s Potter, who’s got not parents, then there’s the Weasleys, who’ve got no money – you should be on the team, Longbottom, you’ve got no brains. CAMERA to NEVILLE, who turns bright red and turns to DRACO. NEVILLE: I’m worth twelve of you, Malfoy. CAMERA to DRACO, CRABBE, and GOYLE, who howl with laughter. CAMERA to RON, who does not look up from the game. RON: You tell him, Neville. CAMERA to DRACO. DRACO: Longbottom, if brains were gold you’d be poorer than Weasley, and that’s saying something.

CAMERA shows HARRY and HERMIONE entering through a door leading from ENCHANTED CHESS ROOM. HERMIONE stops at doorway, looking back into ENCHANTED CHESS ROOM. CAMERA focuses on RON, who lays knocked out at the feet of the WHITE QUEEN. HERMIONE: What if he’s - ? CAMERA on HARRY, who grabs HERMIONE’S hand and pulls her up the passageway. HARRY: He’ll be all right. What do you reckon’s next? CAMERA continues to move with them as they continue down the passage. HERMIONE: We’ve had Sprout’s, that was the Devil’s Snare; Flitwick must’ve put charms on the keys; McGonagall transfigured the chessmen to make them alive; that leaves Quirrell’s spell, and Snape’s... CAMERA shows them stop before a LARGE OAK DOOR. HARRY eyes HERMIONE. HARRY: (Whispering) All right? HERMIONE: Go on. HARRY pushes open door. INT: LARGE ROOM. CAMERA shows LARGE OAK DOOR open, revealing HARRY and HERMIONE. Both pull their robes over their noses, disgust filling their face. CAMERA pulls back to reveal a LARGE TROLL, knocked out on the floor with a BLOODY LUMP on its head. HARRY and HERMIONE slowly begin to step over the TROLL’s leg. HARRY: I’m glad we didn’t have to fight that one. Come on, I can’t breathe. HARRY and HERMIONE get across to TROLL, approaching another DOOR. HARRY pushes open DOOR. CAMERA pans inside, showing an empty room minus a table with 7 BOTTLES standing in a line. CAMERA on HARRY and HERMIONE. HARRY turns to HERMIONE. HARRY: Snape’s. What do we have to do? HARRY and HERMIONE cross the threshold. A PURPLE FIRE springs up in the doorway. HERMIONE shrieks. CAMERA pans to OPPOSITE DOORWAY, where a BLACK FIRE springs up in that doorway. CAMERA on HERMIONE, who eyes the table. HERMIONE: Look! HERMIONE approaches table, grabbing a ROLL OF PAPER. HARRY comes up behind HERMIONE and reads off of ROLL OF PAPER. HARRY: Dangers lies before you, while safety lies behind, Two of us will help you, whichever you would find, One among us seven will let you move ahead, Another will transport the drinker back instead, Two among our number hold only nettle wine, Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line. Choose, unless you wish to stay here forevermore, To help you in your choice, we give you these clues four: First however slyly the poison tries to hide You will always find some on nettle wine’s left side; Second, different are those who stand at either end, But if you would move onward, neither is your friend; Third, as you see clearly, all are different size, Neither dwarf nor giant holds death in their insides; Fourth, the second left and the second on the right Are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight. HERMIONE sighs, and HARRY looks at her in amazement. HERMIONE smiles. HERMIONE: Brilliant. This isn’t magic – it’s logic – a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven’t got an ounce of logic, they’d be stuck in here forever. HARRY: But so will we, won’t we? HERMIONE: Of course not. Everything we need is here on this paper. Seven bottles: three are poison; two are wine; one will get us safely through the black fire, and one will get us back through the purple. HARRY: But how do we know which to drink? HERMIONE: Give me a minute. HERMIONE reads the paper over again. She walks up and down the table, muttering to herself. She begins to point at random bottles. Finally, HERMIONE claps her hands. HERMIONE: Got it. The smallest bottle will get us through the black fire – toward the Stone. CAMERA zooms in on SMALLEST BOTTLE. HARRY: There’s only enough there for one of us. That’s hardly one swallow. CAMERA shows HARRY and HERMIONE eyeing each other. HARRY: Which one will get you back through the purple flames? HERMIONE points at BOTTLES. CAMERA zooms once more onto SMALLEST BOTTLE, then pans over to ROUNDED BOTTLE at the right end of the line. CAMERA switches to HARRY and HERMIONE. HARRY: You drink that. HERMIONE opens her mouth to speak. HARRY: No, listen, get back and get Ron. Grab brooms from the flying-key room, they’ll get you out of the trapdoor and past Fluffy – go straight to the owlery and send Hedwig to Dumbledore, we need him. I might be able to hold Snape off for a while, but I’m no match for him, really. HERMIONE looks petrified. HERMIONE: But Harry – what if You-Know-Who’s with him? HARRY smiles weakly and points to the SCAR on his forehead. HARRY: Well – I was lucky once, wasn’t I? I might get lucky again. HERMIONE’s lip trembles. She throws her arms around HARRY, who looks shocked. HARRY: Hermione! CAMERA on HERMIONE’s face. HERMIONE: Harry – you’re a great wizard, you know. CAMERA on HARRY, who blushes. HERMIONE lets go of HARRY. HARRY: I’m not as good as you. HERMIONE shakes her head. HERMIONE: Me! Books! And cleverness! There are more important things – friendship and bravery and – oh Harry – be careful! HARRY turns to the table and grabs ROUNDED BOTTLE. He turns back to HERMIONE. HARRY: You drink first. You are sure which is which, aren’t you? HERMIONE: Positive. HERMIONE takes ROUNDED BOTTLE from HARRY and drinks from it. She hands HARRY the BOTTLE and shudders. HARRY looks worried. HARRY: It’s not poison? HERMIONE: No – but it’s like ice. HARRY: Quick, go, before it wears off. HERMIONE hurries over to PURPLE FLAMES. She eyes HARRY. HERMIONE: Good luck – take care... HARRY: GO! CAMERA on HERMIONE. HERMIONE turns and walks through the PURPLE FLAMES. CAMERA on HARRY. HARRY sets down ROUNDED BOTTLE and picks up SMALLEST BOTTLE. He walks towards the BLACK FLAMES and stops before them. HARRY: Here I come. HARRY drinks from SMALLEST BOTTLE. He sets the BOTTLE on the table, then walks through the BLACK FLAMES. [Miana] Things to Come When will Book 6 be released? Why? 5 points. I think Book 6 will be released in early to mid 2005. By all reports, Rowling has already started writing the book. It shouldn't take as long as OOTP, as she had all sorts of things going on in her life at that point (marriage, movies, etc.), and, if it follows the trend and is longer than the last (at this rate, the last one will be even longer than War and Peace ), then it should take some year and a half at least to write. [Iron_Fist] What will the title of the 6th book be? Why? 5 points. "Harry Potter and the Darkening Days." This would tie in with theory that Voldemort controls the Dementors, whom steal all happiness and joy from those they come near. It would also set the mood for this 'last deep breath before the plunge' book, and follow JKR's convention of naming an object of person in the title that is critical to the plot.[/i] [Lank] List some possible romantic pairings for the 6th and or 7th books and explain why they are or aren't likely to happen. 5 points each. May do up to 5. 1. Harry Potter and Cho Chang Unlikely. Harry is over Cho, and Cho is already moving on with her life. Harry really never had a chance in the beginning, IMHO, with Cedric around (and dying). 2. Hermoine Granger and Viktor Krum This is fairly likely. They are already exchanging mail, and, by all accounts, they are attracted to each other. 3. Neville Longbottom and Pansy Parkinson This is downright not going to happen, as Neville is in Gryffindor, and Pansy is in Slytherin. Pansy and Neville both despise the opposite Hosue and all within them, so this pairing isn't even going to get off the ground. 4. Ron Weasley and Fleur Delacour Despite Fleur's Veela bits being really attractive to Ron, I doubt this'll happen either. Fleur seems to like Bill Weasley, not Ron, and despite the fact that she gave him a kiss for "helping" save her sister, I don't think thiss relationship will ever hold water. 5. Ludo Bagman and Nymphadora Tonks This one also seems unlikely. I don't think that Tonks, being a young Auror, would be likely to connect well with Ludo Bagman, the retired Beater and now Games Minister. So this one is probably off the cards. [Iron_Fist] Things that Were What House was Sybil Trelawney in (if she attended Hogwarts)? Why? 10 points. As embarassing as it may be for some members of our House, I've come to the conclusion that Trelawney was in Ravenclaw. She is definitely not down-to-earth enough for a Hufflepuff. We also don't see her make cunning plans for her own aggrandizement (as a Slytherin would) - she seems to be perfectly content with her position as Divination teacher and desires nothing more than that. As for bravery (the mark of a Gryffindor), she seems easily scared - look how she freaks out whenever she sees a supposed "dark omen". Divination is not a hands-on, practical art like Herbology, Potions, or even Charms. Trying to make sense of an astrological chart or the images in a crystal ball is something that happens entirely inside the mind. And the mind is the natural domain of the Ravenclaws. So I can easily see a Ravenclaw specializing in that particular field of magic. Also, Trelawney reminds me of Luna, who is a Ravenclaw - both are eccentrics who firmly believe in the occult. [Devi] House Pride Make a House motto. Note: this must be either a direct or slightly modified quote from any of the seven HP books, any SW book, comic, or movie, or any LoTR book/movie. 5 points. "Us Ravenclaws do things the studying way..." (Original from Force Heretic I: Remnant) [Ysanne] Make a House cheer. May do up to 6. 10 points. Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw We conquered what we came and saw!

[DOYY] Humour In light of current events, I have chosen to post no new Humour tasks this week. Creative Spirit [No new tasks] Artistic Spirit Make an advertisement for a wizarding product or business (such as Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, or Firebolt broomsticks). May do up to 6. 20 points.

	If Hufflepuff was a little later this week, it was likely because they were waiting around for me to show my face. I obviously am way too late though. I promise to make it up, guys. This week's been really hard. I've gotten too much on my plate. You guys were awesome, though. -----signature----- Flight of Raven's http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_fan_fiction/b10808/30284518/p1/?0

	Good update Ravenclaw. I must have been posting at the same time when I said my last stuff, so apparently only Gryffindor is going the way of the lion...but that is expected, right? The Cleric 007 -----signature----- The Snippy Slytherin

	I believe if you check the records of all the games past, Gryffindor has a better average than Slytherin, so shut it, Cleric. And until you've been head prefect and know what it's like to have to be the one doing the update almost every week, hold your forked tongue. GRYFFINDOR UPDATE WEEK 3 Movie Tasks Make a teaser poster for the next Harry Potter movie based on already released images and set pictures. 30 points. 001 by Autumn_Myst House Pride OF WHICH WE HAVE LOTS Create a House banner (usual banner size).

	heh, good job, LJ. btw, the points update will probably be a bit late this week since I have a lot of stuff to do (project) and I'm not done fixing points from a prior mess up. Just fyi. -----signature----- Headmistress \|\| JC Hogwarts House Cup I <3 XKCD \|\| http://xkcd.com/325/

	Oh, I have great respect for what you Head Prefects are doing (and Iron Fist, for the last two Ravenclaw updates!). I make it clear that I didn't want to be Head Prefect. And, I don't care about averages except for the last two years, because those were the ones I have been in, and for them I'm sure that Slytherin did more than Gryffindor. Well, last year OBVIOUSLY we did! And so far this year too. Slytherin came in second to Ravenclaw in Year 5, right? So there they beat Gryffindor again. Though, of course, you may be holding stuff back. But then again, we might be doing the same thing. And don't worry too much about any delay, Mara, we all LOVE you for doing this, and realize it must be a very hard job. Good luck with your project.
