VI. Houses
While you are at Hogwarts, you will be sorted into a House. There are four houses: Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff. During your school years, your House will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn your house points, and any rule-breaking will result in a loss of points. At the end of the school year, the house with the most points will be awarded the House Cup.

Ravenclaw - Professor Urquhart Slytherin - Professor Dewhurst Gryffindor - Professor Brightweather Hufflepuff - Madame Foxfire

This section is in progress, as Quidditch is being planned by the staff
