Hola, Bonjour, Namaste, and HELLO all readers of this magazine! Welcome back to HMN’s most popular feature—Shocking News, filled with all the latest information and happenings at Hogwarts! Without further ado, let's jump right into it!

First of all, some sad news—Marlee Potter, one of our team members, has had to leave our newsgroup and HiH for a break due to examinations in her real life. She will be back, however, in June next year. We'll all miss her spot-on editing and captivating writing very, very much. Let's wish her all the best of luck on her tests!

Now for even more gloomy news: unfortunately, Lily, an extremely talented writer, and one of our team members, has officially left our premises and HiH altogether! We are all extremely sad right now, and miss Lily and her talents very much. However, we are hopeful that she will come back soon, as she has hinted that she might!

Everyone, get some tissues because things are about to get worse. Charlotte Windfellow, one of our team members and a highly-gifted writer and editor, has had to leave our premises too due to real life circumstances! Thankfully, she hasn't left HiH altogether, so you can still catch her around the castle. Nevertheless, we will miss working with her and her abilities!

Next, on a more positive note—the Magical Studies Group has reopened! Since sign-ups are now closed, I really hope that you, my dearest readers, have signed the form.

Along with Miss Cornelia Kensington as our Hogwarts Librarian, we now have Miss Rowena Ligeia Tartt as well! We are all eager for her to be one of the Hogwarts Library's masters. Please post on her wall a little welcome. The link to her wall is as follows: https://www.hogwartsishere.com/1651723/

It's time to talk about a bothersome glitch that occurred at Hogwarts in late October. Hogwarts wasn't... secure? What does that signify? Well, presumably, the safety certificate for HiH expired, and had to be reset, which is why HiH wasn't functioning then. However, it is now, thankfully! I hope this doesn't happen again, and I'm sure everyone else does too!

To end, there are still some Professor and PA applications available for those of you who are eager to teach and assist students as they embark on a Hogwarts learning journey!

PA Applications open:
Ancient Studies
Divination
Flying
History Of Magic

Professor Applications open:
Ancient Runes
Care Of Magical Creatures
Muggle Studies

These will close soon, so don't hesitate to GO for it!

Welp, that's all the news we have for this month—not much, is it? Well, that's alright. You can always check out Shocking News next month in Issue 10 of HMN. For now, toodles!
