It is with sadness that we say good-bye to Prof. Patrick Chaotica, Deputy Headmaster and HOL High Inquisitor, who is leaving HOL for a new job at the German Ministry of Magic; and also Prof. Crystal Blue, who, Prof. Laffengraff informs me, is happily ensconced on an Unplottable island well-populated with men in swimsuits and drinks with umbrellas. We wish them both all the best!

Headmaster Dybendahl wishes to inform everyone that all HOL Office accounts have been reset. If you haven't already done so, please re-register at the Office gate and create a new password.

The Headmaster also reminds all students that only one identity per person is allowed. Students who have more than one account should email or PM Prof. Dybendahl before 14 February and inform him which HOL identity they intend to use. Students with multiple accounts who do not contact the Headmaster by next Monday will have all of their accounts disabled.

Congratulations to Platy Brooks, newly-appointed Slytherin Prefect!

There's a new challenge going on in the HOL Library.
