Sana Bokhari The Mysterious Treasure Today at breakfast when my owl came in the window, well actually it first it crashed. But then I came outside and helped it up. I said, “what is it, Snowflake?” (Snowflake is the name of my owl) She gave me a little parcel with my name on it. Inside it were some papers. The thing was my golden locket started to kinda glow. When I came inside with snowflake my Dad saw my locket, he got out of his chair and stood right in front of me and said “oh my Gosh.” I was about to say I know but then my Dad said, “This is good!

“I found a friend in my new home. I named her Ginger. She is an orange striped tabby cat. My name is Gibby Pindrome. My story is about a true friend and friendships last forever.” Ginny “One summer day, we moved into an old rotten house, until Mom and Dad fixed it up. I still felt lonely. “Ginny! Wake up! Time for breakfast!” “Ok Mom!” as I walked down I spent another boring day.

Chapter 2 – A Strange Noise As I went to my room I heard a noise. “Meow, Meow.” I followed to a cold room I had never seen before. I looked around. I saw a little tabby cat in the corner, a kitten. “You’re not my cat!” I walked to the door as she followed me out. “Strange? I will call you Ginger. But don’t let my Mom see you. I will find your owner tomorrow so make your self comfortable!” Local News, July 19th, 2011 Brennan At the willows in PA is the brand new young wizard camp.

I saw that the creature had a home in the snow! I got and idea to name the creature the Snuffler. The Snuffler has two Elephant like noses and two people like arms and two cat like legs. They bite! Don’t catch them!

Daily Prophet By: Justin Meyer

At camp we play Quidditch and, sorting into four houses Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff. I am with my cousins and friends that I made at camp. Harry Potter camp is at the Willows Mansion during mid-July. I came to camp because I have read the books and seen all the movies. I have been obsessed with the books since my Mom read them to me when I was six.

The Quibbler The Quimp By: Natalie Driscoll The Quimp is a mix between a cat, a dog, and a rat. The Quimp can magically turn into a rat. Watch out for the Quimp because the Quimp can trick you into doing foolish things. I once was walking and I ran into a Quimp and it made me get a potion and drink it. The potion made me have warts all over my body for a week. So watch out for the Quimp.

Ryan As I was walking through Hogsmeade, I saw a Death Eater. Then I cursed him. Then we dueled. I won! Then I went to Honeydukes.

John Quibbler In the Willows, yesterday I saw a strange animal. It is 800 feet long and 900 feet tall.

Kendra Announcing a Wizarding School for Young Witches and Wizards A wizarding camp is opened for young witches and wizards. It is a pre-Hogwarts type thing where kids can play Quidditch, start learning transfiguration, potions and many more important things. The Willows Mansion is a perfect place for so much fun learning. It offers a large sunny enviornment with 48 acres of land great for energetic young witches and wizards. Young Natalie Driscoll says her favorite thing to do here is "go to Zonko's and Honeyduke's." Sophie Meyers says, "I like drinking Butterbeer." So if your child is magic then this summer program is a great stepping stone before Hogwarts.

Lydia Quibbler Did you know about Secret Spells? There are certain words in ancient ruines that when turned upside down make spells that are more extraordinary than any spells you’ve ever learned. They can make your hair grow on your elbows, carrots grow in trees, and oak leaves grow from seeds. If you can’t read anything, if your spells don’t work, maybe it’s because you can read ancient ruins. It’s always easier when you cant, or sometimes a lot of people just don’t have the gift.
