Slytherin Notice Board

[Droo]

In the corner of the Slytherin Common Room stands a tall cork bulletin board. Any parchment that touched the cork is magically affixed on it by the self sticking charm it posesses. Here is where you may post class announcements, homework or anything else you think the great house of Salazar Slytherin would do well knowing. And remember...

We're Slytherin, told it's a sin
A House no-one worthwhile's in.
What dung, what rot, what utter tripe
A rather silly stereotype.

Slytherin's for those with brains--
Yet not ashamed to work for gain
Slytherin's for those quite brave
But not to the point of an early grave.

One learns quick and well in Slytherin
How to thrive and how to win.
We're clever, ambitious and maybe mean--
But hey, we get to dress in green.

Cross us and get curse-whacked
A snake never gets side-tracked
We're Slytherin, it's all the rage
Don't stick us in your 'good kid' cage.

You'll think of us as model tykes
But prone to lies, and quick to bite
Let everyone else mutter and glare
We're Slytherins, so we don't care.

Now let's be frank; Slytherin rules
We're the rebel house, the house of cool
Trust only those who are already in,
Too bad all houses aren't Slytherin.

~By Dien Alcyone

DIVINATION Homework 1 is Up!

Quote:

DIVINATION HOMEWORK 1

1. This is the easy part. Calculate your sun sign and your moon sign. You can find your moon sign by using this tool -
Calculate and find your Moon Sign with the moon sign calculator - including a Bach Flower Remedy Recommondation - Moon Sign Calculator - Moon Sign Calendar.

2. Write an interpretation on what you think holds true for you based on your sun and moon sign readings, and what you think doesn't. Remember that astrology is based on more than just one or two planets, so if you're a Virgo and it doesn't seem to fit, then there's a reason for that. But I am still interested in your findings.

3. From what we know about Harry Potter who was a Leo and Tom Riddle who was a Capricorn, what traits of these signs do you think fit each of them?

PM your homework to Slytherin Fox on or before midnight Tuesday February 2. Remember to include your name, house and user number on your homework.

This assignment is worth up to 15 points.

The point here is that it's NOON Eastern Standard Time, which my time, and should last the better part of the weekend, with a little pause for things like sleep.
