A message from the Headmaster:
Dear HOL'lers,

We regret to inform you that Prof. Stirringstone resigned from all her positions in HOL for personal reasons. We all thank Stirry very much for everything she has done for HOL in the past two years. She will be truly missed.

Head of House duties for Hufflepuff will be taken over by Professor Sollarna Fumbleknot. Fumbly will decide in summer if she will keep this position next term. Thank you very much, Fumbly! I am sure you will be a wonderful HoH for our badgers.

Head of Gryffindor, Professor Crystal Blue will replace Prof. Stirringstone in the HOL Headoffice, effective immediately. Welcome to the HO, Lady! You truly deserve to be in the Headoffice and we are looking forward to working with you for the best of HOL!

Thank you all.
