Best Focus
Graphic by Maxim Trevelyan
Emma Borg
  • It takes immense focus to catch Snitches! [Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis]
​Gail Allen
  • I've never known someone so efficient at balancing so many HOL responsibilities and personal interests at the same time. She knows exactly what she needs to do and when so that she can hold all of those commitments. [Kendra Givens]
​Iverian Gnash
  • I mentioned I was struggling with a job and came back to my desk to find it entirely finished; her focus is scarily strong sometimes (particularly when she’s doing something for someone else). [Sky Alton]
Mia Fountain
  • This girl is so much all over the place it's almost unbelievable that she does not lose focus and forget what she was doing. Amazingly she doesn't, and to accomplish that feat, she has to have an extremely strong ability to focus. [Gail Allen]
Prof. Amy Lupin
  • Amy always has a set goal and never loses sight of what is important in achieving it. [Maxim Trevelyan]
  • She has led a string of successful activities and resolves any issues as quickly as possible! [Polaris Black]
Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis
  • It's amazing how she is able to play as Keeper while working at her job. It's like she can put all her focus on her profession, which is very exacting, and then switch over to HP trivia, back and forth. [Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]
Will Lestrange
  • He always gives 110% at everything he does. His focus is total and razor sharp. [February Fortescue]
  • When Will says he’s doing something, there’s really no tearing his focus away from it. [Iverian Gnash]
Most Organized

Gail Allen
  • Until you’ve read an Activity Report written by Gail, then you have never seen true organisation. It’s scary! [Sky Alton]
​Iverian Gnash
  • I've worked with her a couple of times and my, is she organized. There is not a spreadsheet out there that she cannot conquer. [Gail Allen]
​Maxim Trevelyan
  • Whether it’s prettying up a post with code, or making an immense amount of spreadsheets to keep track of points, Maxim always seems to have everything he needs perfectly organized. [Iverian Gnash]
  • He managed to accumulate 5,631 House Point last year – his organizer must be enchanted! [Polaris Black]
Prof. Amy Lupin
  • She seems to always be the one to pull things together when things get confusing. It takes a lot of skill to be able to do that around here! [Kendra Givens]
  • She is almost scary as she tidies things up. (Witness the Book Club when she is in tidying mode...) [Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]
Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis
  • It takes a high level of organization to keep Slytherin running smoothly and to remember all of those tasks and she makes it look effortless. [February Fortescue]
​Sky Alton
  • I wish I were as organized as her, since my skills in that regard are in the negative. [Maxim Trevelyan]
​Will Lestrange
  • I've never seen Will miss a deadline. [Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis]
Most Goal-Oriented

February Fortescue
  • February is always keeping her eye out for more opportunities to earn points for Slytherin! [Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis]
​Iverian Gnash
  • Iverian certainly has goals set for her (I especially like the one about stealing Sky’s sword), and always seems to achieve them as well. [Maxim Trevelyan]
  • There seems to be a distinct unity in her choices and activities which are leading her to her life's desire of who and what she wants to be. [Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]
​Maxim Trevelyan
  • He sets a goal to excel at everything he does and he usually succeeds. [February Fortescue]
  • I have never seen someone willfully disregard their well-being and common sense in quite the way he does when he’s decided he wants to achieve something. [Sky Alton]
​Prof. Kyrie Adderholt
  • I have never seen anyone who is so determined to reach her goals. If she's made her mind up to do something, she will find a way to do it. [Gail Allen]
  • Her goal is to lead her house to greatness and she gets it done efficiently and effectively. [Kendra Givens]
​Sky Alton
  • Sky makes sure the goals we have for things are amazing and always works hard to reach them. [Iverian Gnash]
​Will Lestrange
  • He is captain of the Slytherin Quidditch Team so “goal” oriented is just part of the territory! [Polaris Black]
Most likely to try something new

​Emily Spencer
  • It doesn't matter what the task is, she's willing to dive right in. [February Fortescue]
​February Fortescue
  • With so many innovative ideas (witness her Patronus class), who knows what February will tackle next? [Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]
​Iverian Gnash
  • Since day one, she's been eager to jump right into anything and everything. Her excitement is so refreshing! [Kendra Givens]
Lorainia Riverrider
  • Since joining HOL, Lorainia has been a huge presence in the Gryffindor CR and is always eager to get involved in everything. [Iverian Gnash]
Prof. Amy Lupin
  • She is always willing to learn and very receptive to different ideas. [Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis]
Prof. Rorey Padfoot
  • Whenever I create a new class, she always signs up right away. [Sky Alton]​
Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis
  • She is invested in so many things at HOL, it seems like she always wants to try her hand at something new. [Maxim Trevelyan]
Prof. Tarma Amelia Black
  • She is always (and I mean always) the first to submit the latest puzzle, challenge, or activity! [Polaris Black]
  • You can bet if I’ve just launched a new activity or idea, hers will be the first solution or post I get. [Sky Alton]
​Sky Alton
  • She wants to make things better and to do that you have to try something new and she has the courage to do that in the pursuit of achieving something better. [Gail Allen]
Most likely to take photographs for The Daily Prophet
Graphic by Polaris Black
Emily Spencer
  • She's used to a demanding job and submits lovely photos to the Art Department/Creative Outlet. [Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis]
February Fortescue 
  • She has submitted a variety of excellent photographs to House newspapers and the Art Department! [Polaris Black]
 ​Gail Allen
  • Always look forward to seeing her amazing photos. She certainly has an eye for composition. [Maxim Trevelyan]
Katelin Ross
  • She takes a wide variety of photographs and sends them to me. I'm not quite sure I believe the flying saucer one, but hey, it's a nice picture? (Just kidding, it wasn't a flying saucer. *crosses fingers*) [Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]
 ​Maxim Trevelyan
  • He does awesome graphics and his photos are great, and he is dedicated to providing a good result. I think the Daily Prophet would be thrilled to have him as one of their photographers. [Gail Allen]
Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis
  • She loves to document her and Cody’s travels and adventures with snapshots so I’m sure the Prophet would be eager to hire someone with such a wealth of real-world experience. [Sky Alton]
Prof. Tarma Amelia Black
  • She takes the most beautiful nature and animal photos! They'd hire her on the spot! [February Fortescue]
  • Tarma likes a lot of adventure and I’ve seen some of the pictures she’s taken, so having both adventure and photography as skill sets, Tarma would be a perfect candidate for The Daily Prophet. [Iverian Gnash]
Vanessa Tilley
  • She's one of the most artistic minds I know and those pictures would likely be amazing. [Kendra Givens]
