[Marry The Night]

Some tips for those who are just now joining:

• If you're in Ravenclaw, don't duel Slytherins, and vice versa. Ravenclaw and Slytherin are battling for the house cup, so if you're in either house and you lose to the opposing house, you're giving the opposing house points.
• If you plan on getting into dueling, make sure you find Curses and Counter-Curses before you get started. This book contains powerful spells that are used by most hardcore duelers, such as the Full Body-Bind and the Tongue-Tying Spell. The Knockback Jinx is good for starters, but it's not strong enough to defend you from the more avid duelers.
• Potions can be fun to make, and are a great way to earn a lot of house points. But be careful when you're buying ingredients, as you're only given 500 Galleons and there's no way to replenish that amount.
• Never, ever, cheat your way into a house. The sorting quiz in Pottermore was designed by J.K. Rowling herself and is the most accurate sorting test there is. You may think you belong to one house, when really you belong in another. Wherever you're placed is where you're supposed to be.
