Writing Challenge Most of you have strong friendships already here at the school, much like the famous Harry Potter had Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Today, I'd like you to tell me about how you became friends. Was it similar to their meet on the Hogwarts Express? Did you bond over an assignment in class? Or did you meet before Hogwarts, like Lily Potter and Professor Severus Snape? If you do not have a close friend yet, you can alternatively write about a future event. Perhaps you will meet your best mate later in life.

Some rules for this challenge: 1.) Writings should be a minimum of 250 words. There is no maximum. 2.) Keep it PG13 please! 3.) Please post your piece of writing here with your name and house. 4.) Bonus points may be awarded to particularly clever/creative entries.

Each member may only submit one piece of writing, and each piece of writing to successfully adhere to the rules will receive 15 House Points! Please post your entries for this challenge in a post on this thread.
