I thought that this month would be normal for the Hogwarts Monthly News magazine. Just completing our chapters, editing, proofreading and creating graphics.

But was I right?

No, I was wrong.

This month, Sienna Lockwood, the amazing founder of our news group. left the group early, on the 20th. She left Hogwarts Monthly News to me, which meant that I had to publish this issue.

And here I am, doing exactly that.

First, I’d like to thank all the members of the team for working so hard and diligently even after Sienna Lockwood left. As per usual, the team warmly welcomed all new members, but I don’t think they’d mind if I gave one more welcome.

Autumn Aschinger, 1st year Ravenclaw, editor and marketer, joined this month! And oh my, did she do a good job! Her editing truly did make journalists’ writing stand out. Not only that, but her graphics were awesome!

Xyryx Mooncrest, 1st year Ravenclaw and a journalist, joined fairly late this month, but wrote beautifully in the Advertising Chapter. I’m sure she’s got you convinced that you definitely should join our magazine!

Hmm, it seems like we don’t have a lot of new members this month. Well, that’s okay, considering the fact that I’ve been pretty busy!

But, you may have been wondering something. I, Hazel Emory Antler, used to be the publishing secretary, right? Well, who’s the publishing secretary now? Well, it’s none other than Sara Rowan! Make sure to congratulate her on her wall! She’s done such a great job this month, and surely will keep it up in the future.

Not only that, but Ivy Dewdrop is now the assistant secretary! Sadly, she hasn’t really been active much because of some device issues, but I know she’ll do great in the upcoming future! If you’re wondering what an assistant secretary is, they help out and cooperate with the publishing secretary.

Now, readers, I’d like to thank YOU for reading this, and all of our other issues. Your support is what’s been driving us all of these months, starting from our very first issue in January. And I know you’ll keep on reading Hogwarts Monthly News even though Sienna Lockwood has left. Once again, thank you so much - we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts!

I’d like to end on a quick note - I promise that I will strive hard to do my very best in every issue, whether I’m writing, editing, marketing, proofreading, publishing or compiling. I shall not give up on our news group, telling myself it’s too hard; as a team, we can do this.

Well, thank you for reading this issue of Hogwarts Monthly News. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled, as our June issue is simply lurking around the corner, waiting to devour your attention…

THANKS!
