What it’s like to work in the HDN
Good day to you, our beloved readers! Today I am so happy and excited, because I have been granted with the honor of writing an article about working in the HDN. So, I’ve doing a lot of thinking lately, and think that this article is like of personal experience. Today, I’m going to talk about (in my experience) how it is to work in the HDN. No more small talk, let’s get started!
So let’s start when I was an intern. I first came across the HDN when I wanted to write some articles for the Official S.P.E.W group. Hermione Potter Granger, the admin, told me that if I was going to write those articles they needed to be HDN articles. I didn’t know what the HDN was, honestly.
Then I came across a book in the library that talked about some HDN books. It was written by someone with the name of Samantha Love. I decided I would owl her about the articles. She very kindly answered my questions, and told me about the interns group. If I wanted to be an HDN member I had to be an intern first.
So I started being an intern. I really liked being an intern. Celeste or Samantha would talk to me about what assignments they needed me to do. I was really happy and excited to work with such good fellow writers. I loved what we wrote about, I loved that everyone was so nice and amazing, I loved that people really cared about each other. After about 3 weeks I got a message from Samantha telling me I was being promoted. I was bursting with happiness.
Both members and interns could access some google slides that had your assignments in it. That was also really great for when I was an intern, because I knew what I needed to do. It was really fun.
As a member you have more responsibility. This is because you have access to something the interns don’t. A google slides with all the articles that are due for a couple of days from that date. As many of you know we had a problem with that, someone started erasing them and we lost a lot of articles. This happened when I was an intern. It was really unfortunate, because as an intern or member you really realize how much work we put into the articles.
So right now I’m a member. I’m really happy I got into the HDN. I continue writing articles and advertisements. I really love our team. Because being a part of the HDN is like being a family. You don’t see one single person who doesn’t care about an other intern or member.
One day, I started getting owls from people who wanted to join the HDN. I was really happy at that, because it reminded me of when I owled Samantha. Especially when you are an intern, you really see that everyone cares about each other. Interns aren’t valued less or more than members. We are all the same. Of course we members have more responsibility, and are more involved. But overall we are valued quite the same.
I think this is really great because being an intern you want to feel like, yes, you are an intern, but you are also an important part of the HDN. What I try to do as a member when someone wants to be an intern is, I tell them “you have to be respectful”, but what I also want them to feel is comfortable. They can tell us their ideas without fear of us just dismissing them without looking at them. They can say their opinion, that is something we really value. And they have a vote in the HDN. This is really important because you see that Samantha, Kaela, Celeste, every member, Callie, Ava, Ravenstar, Dawn, Angelica, Lulu, Hermione, Beezer, Hadley, Manya, Crucia, Leon, Kylyn, Callie, and me, doing the best we can to help our beloved interns. They are the future of HDN and we were them in the past, so you really have that connection between members and interns.
For my conclusion, let’s return to the question that started it all. What is it like to work in the HDN? Well, as a member, this is what I do. I write articles, and have so much fun writing them. I help people who want to become interns to know more about us, which is just a magical experience. Passing one's knowledge to another.
I collaborate with the HDN’s magically incredible team. I work with my writing passion and my HP passion to give it all I’ve got for my articles. I always contribute when one of our members asks for feedback on their articles, or asks us to fill out a form. I excitedly fill issues with articles I wrote. And overall help our team. So, to end this article. To work in the HDN is to work in a magical family of article-writers.

Extend Your Knowledge on Extension Charms!
Do you know much about extension charms? If you don't, well, then you’re in luck, because in this article, we will be talking about extension charms. Get ready to extend your knowledge on this charm!
Many things in the wizarding world can have extension charms put on them to be more efficient. Hogwarts school trunks, plus the majority of all wizarding luggage, have extension charms on them. The extension charm on the luggage can increase interior dimensions, while leaving the outer dimensions unchanged and looking unchanged. The charm can also make the contents of the luggage lighter!
The Extension Charm (incantation: “Capacious extremis”) is considered advanced, but is under strict control because it can be misused.
In theory, a hundred wizards could take up live in a toilet cubicle if they performed the extension charm sufficiently!! The potential for violations of the International Statute of Secrecy are obvious. So, the Ministry of Magic has made a strict rule that capacity-enhancement is not for private use, but only for the production of objects (such as school trunks and family tents), that have been individually approved for manufacture by the relevant Ministry Department. Both Mr. Weasley and Hermione Granger were acting unlawfully when they used the extension charm in the interior space of a Ford Anglia and a small handbag. The former is now believed to be living wild in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, and as Granger played a huge part in the defeat of the greatest Dark wizard of all time, no charges have been brought.

Why is Gryffindor the best house?
In my opinion, Gryffindor is the best house because we are strong, courageous, determined.
The Gryffindor house was created by Godric Gryffindor.
The Gryffindor house is very popular in the eyes of most people, even being considered the best house. Why? Quite simply, because all the wizards who have been in Slytherin have turned out badly, so who would want to go? The Hufflepuff house is quiet, and most people like the hubbub. Ravenclaws are wise, which doesn't fit all of us.
The Gryffindor house has the best capabilities for people.
Surely a few people, for the house test, we cheated to be in the famous Gryffindor house.
Gryffindor is also the best house, as there is the trio Harry, Ron and Hermione, the heroes of Harry Potter.
Please note that this is just my opinion.

Fun Fact
Have you all wondered how a bus like the Knight Bus can have three floors? Here is the answer! They chose an ordinary bus, colored natural purple. Then they created a floor, like a normal bus. Using a crane, they put another bus on the roof of the bus. And the Knight Bus was born!
I hope I have taught you something!
