The Palooza was on all month. Despite the numbing chills and the shivers down the spine, the Professor Assistants did their best to grade students' assignments and keep the academics rolling frictionlessly under the guidance of the Professors.

After last month's Slytherin Supremacy, the serpents refused to be dethroned this month, with Andromeda Cyreus, a 3rd Year Slytherin witch, retaining the winner's crown after having graded 455 assignments. She is a Potions Head Student, and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Assistant at Hogwarts. The second place went to Evony Senoj, a 2nd Year Slytherin witch, who graded 430 assignments to secure the position. Evony is a Charms, Transfiguration, and Flying Professor Assistant at Hogwarts. The third place was awarded to Hiya Debnath, 2nd Year Gryffindor witch, Astronomy and Charms Professor Assistant at Hogwarts for grading a total of 429 assignments throughout the month.

For those who don't know about Grade-A-Palooza, it is a competition for Professor Assistants, hosted by the student-friendly and talented Magical Arts and Alchemy Professor, Serafina Rosenquist. The competition involves grading the most number of assignments submitted by students in a month. Certificates are awarded by the systematic and passionate Potions Professor, Vaylen Draekon. The certificates are quite a sight to watch, with thoughtfully crafted designs and beautiful, artistic graphics.
