hogwartsishome | THE DAILY PROPHET

Helloooooo HiH!

I give you THE DAILY PROPHET - VOLUME 7, ISSUE 1!

Several things before you click on that wee link for this week's Prophet.
1. My apologies for not having this up earlier. I've been working on it for HOURS now and intended to have it up around 7, but due to my HTML anality, it's going up now! Yay!
2. To keep from putting this off for ANOTHER week, I've mirrored last year's style. I hope you all enjoy!
3. I attempted to put as much in there as possible.

Lastly, PLEASE feel free to leave some feedback! If you don't wish to comment, there's an e-mail address at the bottom of this post that you can send your thoughts to! This was great fun and I can't wait to get next week's Prophet in order! XD

Enjoy!
Jackie
