As you put down your fork and settle back into your seat at the end of the feast, you can't help but whip your head around at the sudden swoooooshing sound echoing through the Great Hall. What's that, a flock of owls? Dropping scrolls onto students' heads?

You happen to catch one of the pieces of parchment and lo and behold, it's a new version of the Quill! Yes indeed, your faithful student journalists and staff advisers have worked diligently over the summer to give you a wrap-up of Term 22's wet adventure and even coverage of a few saddening events from the summer.

Unfold the issue now, save it for a bit of bedtime reading back in the common room, or use it for fireplace tinder -- it's your choice. But savvy Hogwartians know reading is the key to success, after all, so we'd suggest absorbing every last drop of this superb student publication.
