Good afternoon students!

As we begin a new month, things have quieted down on the grounds and I would like to think it has to do with the tightened security and efforts made by the watch teams. It is not too late to join a watch team if you are still interested in helping out.

This Friday Shenandoah took on Roanoke. It was a fierce game and both teams came out fighting for the win. It was a close game the entire time and neither team was willing to give the other an opportunity. In over time, Shenandoah won. On Saturday the quidditch teams had it out on the field. It looks as though Team Two would be the clear victors but Team One pulled it together in the second half and delivered a unstoppable comeback. Team One walked off the field with the win. The University Quidditch team faced off with the Boston University of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a slow start Blue Ridge Quidditch really pulled it together and came out strong. There was an obvious burst in energy from the beaters, Mackenzie Dubinsky and Leland Rivera Sykes, almost as if they were in competition! Whatever it was, it lead the BRU Quidditch team certain victory. Please join us for next week's games when Quirank takes on Shawnee and the BRU Quodpot team takes on the Boston University of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This week's announcements are pretty short as February is known to be the shortest month! First of all, happy leap year! Secondly, the muggle tradition of the Super Bowl is on tonight! In King's Hall there will be a small gathering for those who are interested in watching the game. There are plenty of snacks, drinks, and seats for everyone! Please come join us at 6:30 in the King's Hall theater!

Next Saturday is also the Valentine's Day dance! Join us at 7pm in the King's Hall ball room. Remember, there will be staff supervision and aurors patrolling the outside of the party. Speaking of Valentine's Day, the actual day will be celebrated with a special breakfast cooked by Teo Ramirez, myself, and Professor Sawyer Gray. Please join us on the fourteenth for red, heart shaped pancakes, fanciful eggs, and other breakfast favorites! You can also send out candy-grams and special Valentine's day poetry, just put your order in by next Sunday!

Mid-winter vacation is almost here! From February 27-March 2 there will be no school! Make sure to have a safe vacation and if you need to make arrangements to stay here during the vacation please let me know.

I would still like to remind everyone that it is not safe to go wandering by yourself despite the quiet that has covered the campus lately. Don't leave campus by yourself either and make sure to look out for your fellow classmates!

Thanks so much!

-Headmaster Ichirou Sato


If you want to do candy-grams have your kiddos sign up here!

Gaudy wasn't the right word for the way that the ball room had been decorated. Gaudy wasn't nearly extreme enough a word to cover the over the top ridiculousness that had occurred in the room. Shades of red, pink, purple, and white flooded all over the hall. Fat, naked cherub toys swung from the ceiling shooting foam, heart shaped arrows down into the crowd. Red hearts floated past and every once in a while, one of the hearts would explode and send glitter all over the place.

Streamers, banners, and table cloths were heart and glitter covered. Staff were watching the students and aurors took a few rounds around the outside of the building. Snack tables were covered in Valentine's Day snacks and the punch was bright red with Valentine's Day themed cups.

Summary: Everyone feels a little weird when the potion wears off

The night before had been quite eventful. Odd couples had fallen into each other's arms and the bleeding heart with it's ominous message had everyone running off with each other to stay the night. As the sun crested over the campus, things were beginning to turn back to normal. The blood had all been cleaned up and people were starting to return to themselves. The love potion was wearing off and people were beginning to realize they were not where they were supposed to be.
