This month we officially closed the AO Ambassadors program, but not for lack of its illustrious efforts.  Over the last few years, certain AO members have gone out of their way to help new people feel at home - a generous and important gift! The program has been inactive for awhile now, so it was time to close up shop until there is again a need!

A big thank you to... Will, Melissa, Kelly, Josh, Nina, Alice, Michael, Kirby, Socks, Rayven, Liv, Amara, and Jager!

It's a valentine's day Hogsmeade weekend and the students are off for celebrations, awkward dates and oogling - Madam Puddifoots packed to the rafters.

Taking advantage of the throng are the shadier class of witch and wizard, snatching a clutch of Hogwarts students from the village and down to London to the belly of the Department of Mysteries.

A date to be remembered…?
