EDITORIAL by Aquila Malfoy
|
I had an idea for this editorial. Honest! It was
this cute little idea
about snakes lying on top of sun-warmed rocks, basking in the glorious
spring weather. Then,
suddenly, they were to raise their heads, as if hearing something you
couldn't, before
slithering off, all in the same direction. You'd wonder what caused this
mass exodus, until a
young wizard would run up to you, explaining: "The new issue of the
SerpenTimes is out!".
STAFF
Editors:...Aquila Malfoy, Alicia Jordan
HTML Input:...Fran Scorpio
Design:...Scall Wintorn
Contributing Writers...Matilda Wormwood, Irix Nuit, Niche Eenhoorn, and Professor Paracelsus
Special thanks to Professor Mysteria Paracelsus, Head of Slytherin |
Unfortunately, like Neville's broomstick, the idea refused to take flight,
and then (obligingly
corresponding with my simile) it suddenly took off in a completely
unexpected direction,
creating havoc in its wake. My mind filled with persistent phrases about
watching the
emerging of a new civilization in my fridge, and giving individual names to
the dust bunnies
under my sofa (for some reson the name "Fluffy" comes to mind! ;-).
However, after having thoroughly amused myself with my own incredibly witty
internal
monolouge, I realized that it had no business whatsoever being in an
editorial of the
SerpenTimes — and that most of it was borrowed from an extremely long non-HP
fanfic I
spent most of the night reading. Consequently I now find myself completely
at a loss of
words, and have to resort to some platitudes about this having been a rough
month for HOL,
and especially the House of Slytherin, but once again we stuck together and
rode out the
storm, and learned a lot about each other and the proper ways of disagreeing
with each other
and that the future is now looking brighter than it has in months, and yadda
yadda...
Actually, I do have an excuse for this totally incoherent and
pointless rambling:
rushing to meet the deadline for an essay I've been working on for half a
year, I seem to have
accomplished the supposedly impossible medical feat of spraining my brain,
sometime in
January or possibly February. (Do you think they will name this newly
discovered medical
condition after me? ;-)
So, what are you still doing here?! Go read the rest of the
SerpenTimes! I can
assure you, it's a lot better than what you've just read (
provided you've in fact
gotten this far! ;-)! Off with you! Now! Shoo! ;-)
WANTED!!!
- Staff writers to write regular columns for the Serpentimes ( Though all Slyths and affilated people are welcome to send in articles, having staff writers ensures that we will have some material for every full moon! )
- Artists to illustrate the articles
