Well, LJ going offline for about 20 Hours was certainly not fun!

Anyways, thank goodness we're back up and running so we can continue with Hogsmeade Weekend! I'm Emily and I Mod sortedchallenge along with Michelle (echizenryuma). If you're not familiar with Sorted Challenge, it's one of the many sub-communities of HiH that is dedicated to making graphics! Each week, a new challenge is posted; it can be for headers, icons, banners, just about any type of graphic. For more information, feel free to check out the Userinfo!


Special Challenge: House Unity

As we all know, Hogsmeade is a place where all the students of Hogwarts can join together and have some fun, regardless of their sorted House. So, in this special Hogsmeade icontest - your challenge is to create an icon that features House Unity, showing how all four Hogwarts Houses can come together as one. That can be by combining the mascots together somehow, making a manip of four students (from each House) hanging out, using the House colours to represent each one, whatever! It's up to you, so use your imagination!
