So I got back home a few days ago and I finally had a chance to post the pictures of the package I received from Mme. Ferula McGonagall. Click on the portkey to see the lovely package she sent me. Thank you so much for the great package and for your patience since you had to wait till I got back from my training in Oregon to have me post pictures and public thank yous! ((hugs))
Wow! Reading through all the Mad Libs stories has made my stomach ache from laughing so hard! Rather than point out one or two, we've given some highlights and links to all of them! If I've missed yours, please let me know ASAP!! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the hilarity!
(And by the way, this may have been Ravenclaw homework, but you'll see that other houses participated in and added to, the often unexpected, but seriously amusing accounts!!)
Who can forget Fleur Sweeting's tale of Rowena serenading the stitch markers?! Rowena Bladvak however tells the tale differently! Maybe it was the extra cheese on Fleur's hot fudge sundae that caused her to run towards the stitch markers herself!?
Madame Hooch had a run in with a cream-filled hot dog... I saw it myself with my own two eyes! Eeewww, that sounds rather gross to me. At least Patonga Pinkstone and Waverly Trimble enjoyed hot fudge sundaes and stormy socks!!
Emma Gorodok's Diagon Alley adventure with Hermione brought an unexpected new fact out about Slytherin's Head of House, Professor Snape and a certain type of clothing he chooses to wear in his off hours. Megaera Black also witnessed Snape’s unusual clothing choices and is still trying to figure out how Lizzie Wychwood (who has her own wee ones at home) managed to get bitten by a baby with a bean burrito!!
Do you know that Centy B. really really likes Curry flavored ice cream?!! She must really really really love it have walked so far for it! Unusual ice cream tastes must be common in Gryffindor. Penelope of Flitwick likes mustard on her hot fudge sundaes... and toaster cozy patterns too. At least, that's according to Prendolyn the Weirds' tale!
Fresh gossip about the DADA and his drinking habits! I can understand why Professor Solum likes firewhiskey floats after reading Olive Bumblebirch's tale! But did you also know Helena Lovegoods spied Professor Hot Pants (for that is what Fervens Solum means) having a Baybreeze float as well... something about a fat turkey and Solum's underwear I hear...
Rare flora and fauna seem to be in abundance at Gringott's! Casandara Crimsonchin found out about Thalia Tinkywych's rare purple hydrangea bush... and Andromache Tonks solves the Victoria Pettigrew mystery of the adequate kitten... adequate at what I wonder?? Fiera Firenze had fun at the giraffe store and heard about Quinn's frozen custard hit while protecting Antonio's crunchy candy at Gringotts as well... and, I mean really!?! What is it with mother goblins and their food choices for their offspring?! Amethyst Aurag heard all about Buttercup Goblinshimmer Dumbledore's run in with a baby goblin and Pinot Grigio?! So that's how they keep them calm!!
Wisteria Lovegood and Megaera Black (who... ssshh... wears a chastity belt but don't tell her I told you!) had a near collision with a sparkling oyster! They survived, but poor Hexy Elfshimmer had a run in with a tuna-noodle casserole and was photographed with ruined robes. Hexy should have went with Hermione and Olive instead! Hermione's description of chocolate ice cream and butterbeer floats has made me hungry! I can’t believe she missed Professor Flitwick’s lecture on Hippogryphs! I guess, smooth crochet hooks truly are hard to come by!
The Fleurs... Dolohov and Sweeting had excellent fun on their trip to Diagon Alley. After an incident in the mashed potato shoppe, the Fleurs found solace in strawberry ice cream and chocolaty chocolate sundaes. The most impressive trek for sweets has to be Cassie Goode! She walked 555 blocks for it and still managed to make it to Yrsa's Yarn Shoppe to purchase flowing socks.
Okay, here's the story and instructions. (link back to the list to make)
Replace each number with the corresponding word you wrote on your blog/homework earlier this week and post this story as a blog... and hey, if you do it Sunday instead of today, you'll have posted a blog for the last week of the term! :-) Woo Hoo! I'll be looking at all the stories and will post the top two or three after our Head Girl Wisty and fellow Prefect Hermione and I all vote on them.

I have to tell you about the 1 time I had in Diagon Alley last weekend! My friend 2 and I decided that we really needed some new 3 and had to get over to Diagon Alley immediately. 2 put on their 4 because it was 5 and did not want to get a cold. I grabbed my 6 and we headed to the trains.
While waiting for our train to Diagon Alley, we chatted with 7 and 8 who were planning to visit Gringott’s. 8 did not want to go alone because he/she was collecting a 9 and that was very 10 and brought 7 along for their excellence in protecting spells.
The train arrived and off we went. Our seats were very comfortable and the train sped along towards Diagon Alley and we were there in a flash! Before heading to the Yrsa’s Yarn Shoppe, we went into a 11 that sells the 12 13(s)!!! As we neared the 11, we noticed quite a lot of commotion! The 11 owner had set the 13-making machine and it had gotten stuck! 13 (s) were 14 everywhere! I ducked as a cream-filled 13 came 14 right at me and it 15 into 16Professor ___ ’s 17 just as they walked through the door! A 18 13 did a nose dive and splattered all over the 19 most elaborately! We made it out of the store just as a 13 frog and a kettle of Bertie Bott’s every flavor beans collided in a rainstorm of goo!
Since we were still 20, we walked the 21 blocks over to Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor! I decided on a cone with 22 ice cream and 2 got the hot fudge sundae with extra 23 (s)! Yummy! 16Professor had made their way over here as well after the incident at the 13 shoppe and had chosen a 24 float.
After that, we passed Gringott’s and headed to Yrsa’s Yarn Shoppe! I tried not to look at the beautiful skeins of silk and bamboo and wool and instead, headed toward the 3 while 2 stopped to 25 the stitch markers. I found a 26 3 made out of steel and made my purchase. 2 kept hedging between the 3 she came for and a pattern for a 27. She chose the 27 pattern and we walked the back towards the train station just in time to make the 12:30 train.
After sitting down, we noticed 7 and 8 were on the train as well. 8 looked quite 28 to have the 9 with them. 7 however did not look 28 ed at all. While waiting to go into the vault, a baby goblin waiting in line with his Mommy, had 29 on 7 getting 30 all over their clean robes! The smell really was just horrendous! Apparently, 7 ’s protecting spells don’t work well against 30!! We made our way to a less smelly compartment and talked about how we were going explain missing Professor 31 ’s lecture on the valuable ways 32 (s) are working with the Department of Mysteries in solving unsolvable 33 (s)!

Aaah, the 9-letter word of our favorite house! This week, this word is being used for your homework.
Here are the rules and directions:
The center letter MUST be used in each word you find (i.e. Crawl, Raw, Arc, etc.)
You can only use each letter once.... since there are two A's in Ravenclaw, you can use it twice.
The letters do not need to be connected to be used... but the R must be in each word.
Blog your list of words by Friday, April 3rd.
OPTIONAL BONUS:

OPTIONAL BONUS:
For the 'Claw who loves word scrambles like this, you can add a list of words that do not include the R (i.e. Claw, Law, Awl, etc.) What's the bonus for? Hmmm... we're not telling... you'll have to play and see!!
Have fun!
Last week, Ravenclaw gave out a 3 part homework assignment... one mandatory (blogging of course) and two additional optional parts.
Those 'Claws who completed all three were entered into a surprise drawing for some delicious yarn from Crazy 4 Dyeing... and

An owl is on the way to you as I type. CONGRATULATIONS!!
The Ravenclaw house had some pretty clever and time-consuming homework this week which was done with great wits and many laughs!
