One of the most rewarding things you can do in your seven years at Hogwarts is win the House Cup. It is not an easy feat, but with a little effort and a little perseverance anything is possible. In the common room, a poster of a lion may be found on the wall by the noticeboard. Here, the names of the top five achieving students will be displayed beneath the lion and will be updated on a regular basis. The lion is enchanted, and will purr affectionately when approached by one of the top students, however if you have been lazy, don't worry too much. He can't hurt you, though he might try to take a swipe at you with his paw. Good things he's just a poster.

To be in with a chance, be sure to attend all your classes and complete any homework assignments in a timely manner.

United we will conquer, divided and we will be defeated.

OOC: Welcome to the Roar Awards! Here I will post the top five students with the highest house points. To give Gryffindor a fighting chance at winning the cup this term, all you need to do is get involved. Lessons and homework will earn you points, unless of course you break the rules, then you will lose points. But the main point is to keep spirits high and do whatever you're comfortable with. Just have fun.

Well done Lions, you have shown great courage and valor in the your few short weeks here. Continue to participate in classes, do your homework and strive for glory.

HOPEendures - 22

Macavity - 18
caithal97 - 15

If you have been absent from classes, or lacking time... but want to see your name on this honourable list, then don't fret. There are always opportunities to make up points. Participate where you can. EVERY post and every homework submission counts. If you're not the studious type, then pull on your socks and boots and make your way out to the grounds. The Founders' Fandango provides you with the opportunity to have fun, flaunt your athletic ability in front of others and most importantly, to earn tokens. These can be exchanged for house points at the end of the event.

Give it all for the red and gold.

OOC: Well done young Lions, your efforts are appreciated. Remember! if you cannot attend a class for it's entire duration, it does not mean you cannot post at all. ONE post a day is better than none. EVERY bit counts. ALSO: please READ Professors OOC notes and their WHOLE posts... otherwise we risk LOSING house points. So thank you, good luck, and roar!

Hera · 01-13-2012, 09:21 AM

Keep up the hard work Lions. Do not be discouraged. WE are disadvantaged, and yet WE aren't doing all that bad. Only 14 points separates us from the Badgers, and only 79 points separates us from Ravenclaw. With a bit of effort, and a bit more attendance, we can easily get them eating our dust!

Don't have time? ... spare yourself 15 minutes each day to post in a class (or two) EVERYTHING counts.

Can't keep up with lessons? Then ask your housemates. We are here to HELP each other. TOGETHER we can succeed!

So go! Check out the Noticeboard and jump into a class to help our chances at the House Cup. REMEMBER not to announce your late arrival-- just pretend that you were there the whole time. And READ the Professors posts carefully.

Good luck young Lions, merry hunting.

OOC: I know it might seem discouraging, being last. BUT! We don't have to stay last! The power is in your hands!

Hera · 01-19-2012, 11:49 AM

With the term well and truly underway, it's time to pull your socks up, put your gloves on and get a little dirty.

Only 155 points separates us from the lead, and only 86 points separates us from Hufflepuff. Let's not let them beat us. We are Lions, we are predators and we back down to nobody. At this stage, the House Cup could be anyone's. We may not have the numbers, but we have the spirit, and if we all band together then ANYTHING is possible.

Some might say we're underdogs, but I beg to differ... dogs don't ROAR!

Get involved in classes, do some homework and let's show the school what we're made of.

All for one and one for roar!

OOC: CONGRATS to our TOP FIVE. Well done on your amazing efforts. Good luck everyone and rmember EVERY little bit helps. EVERY post helps. So set aside a couple of minutes to answer a question or participate in an activity in class. WE NEED YOU.

Hera · 01-24-2012, 02:39 PM

Well done young Lions. Even if the odds may be against us, we DO have HOPE. A HUGE congratulations and a pat on the back to our TOP FIVE students, their miraculous efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Though things may look bleak in fourth place, KNOW that there is room for change. Our top five are kicking the gravy juice out of the top five students of the other houses. And TOGETHER, UNITED, WE can make a difference!

Kudos goes out to:

sweetpinkpixie - 167
HOPEendures - 121
Macavity - 107
nups21 - 92
fanficfanatict - 90

Getting frustrated? Are you doing all that you can do? ... don't have enough time to be attending classes? Codswallop! YOU can do it, set aside a little time each day to keep up with your studies. After all Gryffindor's are much more than predators and mischief makers. We are strong, brave, intelligent, ambitious, loyal subjects... and so much more than that. It's about time the rest of school heard our voices, heard our roars, and feared us.

WHO ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?!

GRYFFINDOR!

OOC: Herbology Homework! DO IT! ~~I will personally lick those of you that haven't~~.. thanks. Also I know we all lead busy lives, but it only takes 5 minutes to post in a lesson. So instead of hanging out in the SH or WWW, why not do something for YOUR house, and do it with pride. WE MUST UNITE, DIVIDE AND CONQUER! ROOOOAAARRRR! ...... and don't forget to exchange your fandango tokens for house points!

Hera · 01-31-2012, 08:23 AM

In true spectacular fashion, your top five are kicking butt! Gryffindor are the first House to have TWO of their students over the 200 points mark. Collectively our top five are destroying the Badgers, Eagles and Snakes. So why are we coming last? It's because we CANNOT rely on these five alone! WORK TOGETHER! GET INVOLVED! and GET MOTIVATED!

If you're having difficulty keeping up with your classes and homework, why not track down one of your top five and beg them to help you out or point you in the right direction?

Gryffindors are renown for their bravery and chivalry, but it does not mean they are not intelligent, ambitious or loyal. On the contrary, we Lions are so much more than that. So let's not give in, let us stand tall and proud, and persevere.

Your fellow peers deserve a round of applause! Give them a pat on the back, ask them for advice, nudge them for help. TOGETHER we are strong, DIVIDED and we will perish.

Your mission is to strive to achieve. Your target, is Slytherin. There is only 154 points between us and those slimy serpents. So what are you waiting for? There are puffapods to harvest, runes to investigate and much much more!

All for one, and one for ROAR!

OOC: Keep up the good work everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the lessons this term, have some fun with it, there is plenty of room to be goofy, to have fun and STILL earn points for it! So let's not come last! Your mission REALLY IS to destroy Slytherin. Good luck!

Hera · 02-06-2012, 12:50 PM

A massive congratulations and a pat on the back to our fabulous top five! Again they have outdone themselves, fighting and striving for success.

Do you want glory? Do you want to be in the top five? Well it's not too late to catch up. Remember to check the Noticeboard for all your class and homework information. EVERY post and EVERY homework submission helps! It ALL counts! 1 point, 5 points, 10 points... it will ALL add up when it counts.

Join your top five in the fight, don't let Gryffindor perish in fourth place, we CAN turn this around, we DO NOT have to come last. With a little bit more participation we can catch up. 202 points is not enough to keep us at bay, and Lions are far better hunters than Snakes anyway. If you see a Snake participate, then you should too.

Our top five are:

sweetpinkpixie - 306
HOPEendures - 202
Macavity - 189
nups21 - 175
affy7ann - 156

It's time to rally Gryffindor. Trim your whiskers, comb your mane and ROAR with pride! DO NOT GIVE UP!

YOU are a hunter, so go out there and pounce on the opportunity to get involved in some fun activities and earn some points!

OOC: First of all I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to EVERYONE. You are all amazing, and it's great to see that we're not getting thrashed despite our low active users. PLEASE PLEASE get involved whenever and wherever you can. It ALL counts, EVERY post counts. So go post to post, hw to hw, and TOGETHER we can beat the Slimy Serpents at least!

Hera · 02-19-2012, 03:19 PM

Well done Lions! for not giving up! I can see the fire is still burning, remember to remain focused, do not take your eyes from the prize. Our target to beat Slytherin, is still achievable, in fact, I would even say our chance has phenomenally increased. Why? Is it simply because we're awesome and we know it? Is it because WE will stand up to them? Or is it because THEY have slacked off?

YOU, yes you... the one eating the chocolate frog and staring at the wall with the Lion poster on it.. YOU can make a difference! How? ... SIMPLE! if you go here you will see the list of classes YOU can attend to earn points and the list of homework YOU can complete to earn points. If you look carefully you will notice that your DADA and Herbology homework are due soon. SO DO IT!

On a lighter note, I think it's time to congratulate our top five! Remember to pester them for help or advice if you're feeling a little lost, with the prestige comes the duty. Make them work for it!

Our top five are:

sweetpinkpixie - 362
Macavity - 235
HOPEendures - 210
affy7ann - 200
nups21 - 175

I have faith in you my young Lions, I know what you are capable of, and I know that TOGETHER--UNITED, WE can achieve anything.

ROAR ROAR GRYFFINDOR!

OOC: LOOK HERE NOW! (BOO) Hey everyone! DADA and Herbology HW are due TUESDAY THE 21ST!.. so .. soon. Great news is: only a small number of Hufflepuffs have submitted their homework for Herbology as well as one Claw and OMG ONLY ONE LION!!!... So YOU there. GO! AND WRITE ME AN ESSAY! If you weren't in class, pretend that you were. Remember this is the perfect opportunity for us to get closer to snatching up 3rd place from the Snakes. Happy learning, have fun!

Hera · 03-12-2012, 04:52 AM

Keep up the good work young Lions. Your persistence and determination is the key to securing Gryffindor third place this term. We are currently 371 points behind Slytherin, and we CAN overcome that. Now more than ever, when the term is coming to an end, it is important to remember that every second you spend in class, every finals you participate in WILL count for something. So make the most of your spare time and get to class!

Keep an eye on the homework board and class notices.

A HUGE congratulations for our top five:

sweetpinkpixie - 479
Macavity - 318
affy7ann - 262
HOPEendures - 218
nups21 - 192

A a HUGE congratulations to the Gryffindor Quidditch team for thrashing Slytherin over the weekend.

Who are we fighting for? GRYFFINDOR!

OOC: Hey everyone! Thank you for all your efforts this term --so far-- you have all been amazing. Don't forget we still have time to beat the Snakes which is OUR mission for the term. So got a spare 5 minutes? 15 minutes? Find yourself idly stalking people because you're bored? Why not put that time to good use and make a post of two in class! TIME TO GET YOUR ROAR ON!

Hera · 03-27-2012, 05:16 PM

The term is slowly coming to a close, OWL's and NEWT's will soon be starting, finals will commence, and the last of your homework will be submitted. We are currently 260 points behind Slytherin, and getting closer. While THEY are losing momentum, WE are gaining it! Now more than ever, it is important to remember that every second you spend in class, every finals you participate in WILL count for something. So do you have a spare 5 minutes? Participate in a class. Do some homework, there is plenty for YOU to do to support your House. The Noble House of Gryffindor.

For information on which classes are currently in session and for an up to date list of homework and due dates please check the Gryffindor Noticeboard

Our current top five point earners are:

sweetpinkpixie - 665

A HUGE congratulations for their effort and hard work, and give yourself a pat on the back for your contributions! Remember it's not too late to get Gryffindor out of last place!

ROAR ROAR GRYFFINDOR!

OOC: WELL DONE EVERYONE! You're doing so well! Gryffindor is catching up to the Snakes and there is still time to overtake them! Remember the only way to do so is to participate, so get your thinking caps on and spend at least 5 minutes a day (or more if you can) participating in classes or completing homework. Don't forget the points add up! Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour. X

Hera · 04-02-2012, 06:32 AM

Its almost time... that time, to stand and be counted. It will be the time to reflect on the year, on your achievements and on your efforts. Gryffindor is currently sitting in last place, only 165 points away from Slytherin in third. Gather your thoughts, roll up your sleeves and RALLY!

If we all pitch it, we can achieve great things, we can rise up, despite the numbers being against us, and we will assert our position as contenders for the following term. It's time for you to do YOUR bit for the Pride. Check out the Gryffindor Noticeboard and get cracking on those last classes, homework and finals!

As always, a huge congratulations to our top point earners:

sweetpinkpixie - 748
Macavity - 447
affy7ann - 346
DanialRadFAN01 - 315
nups21 - 250

What're you waiting for? Rally!

OOC: I am SUPER proud of you all! And remember it's not too late! FINALS! are worth a fair bit, and participation is low. Id we band together, WE CAN BEAT THE SNAKES! Congratulations on a great term little Lions, the numbers were not in our favour, but we persevered. X

Hera · 04-04-2012, 04:14 AM

Congratulations Lions! Your mission is complete, and your fighting spirit will serve as a reminder to the other Houses to NOT underestimate us. When we are united, when we work as a team, we can achieve anything.

Give yourselves a huge round of applause, kick back, relax and enjoy your holidays. Just don't forget to pack your Gryffindor tenacity and fire for when you return. Well done, good luck Lions, and keep your noses clean.

Our top five!

sweetpinkpixie - 1016
