My Friends

	Head of House Professor Willow Laffengraff What can be said about Prof. Laffengraff? She is an awesome Head of House, a great professor, and a wonderful friend. She is always there when I need her, always helpful, and seemingly blessed with an infinite patience -- especially for me and my endless questions! I admire her greatly, and am thankful every day for her guidance and leadership.
	Professor Illyaster Neverwhere Nevvie! My [evil?] twin! Not a day goes by when I don't think of you, and wonder what new crazy scheme you're concocting in that purple-haired head of yours! I can't believe how alike we are -- it's scary, sometimes -- but I am very glad I met you and have been able to share so many giggles and glomps!
	Headgirl Leah Samson Leah has enthusiasm to spare! Always willing to speak her mind, always there to stick up for her House and those in it, always wanting to press forward and make HOL a fun and better place. And -- wonder of wonders! -- she tolerates my incessant PMs!
	Prefect Thadius Crucio I miss Thadius. He was a hard-working Prefect, and a clever, quick-witted friend. Often irreverant (for some reason, the word "asparagus" comes to mind), extremely intelligent and innovative, I will remember our hunting together for the HOL Phantom for a long time.

Other folks which I want to mention are: Headmaster Dybendahl, the man behind HOL, and without whom, none of us would be here; the other member of the Great Three, Prof. Argumentus, who helps make Ravenclaw House such a cool place; the awesome Prefects -- Alicia, Anarya, Celestia, Conary, Kimaire, Malien, and Ody; and HOLers with whom I've shared a laugh -- Flea, Emma, Sherry, and others which I'm going to wish I had added ten minutes after I finish this! You all have helped make Hogwarts OnLine a wonderful place, and I thank you for it ...
