The Pawing of the Spice Squad
By: Rowan Dream

Oh, my God. Is it a new term already here?! Woohoo, yaye for Gryffindor!

*does a front-hand-spring-step-out*

Today, in this very awesome article, we will talk about the one and only Spice Squad and how we are totally awesome.

Yes, we are vain!

No, not really. The reason I am writing this article is to tell you all a little about what the Spice Squad actually does. Everybody around the castle wonders what the Gryffindor Cheer Squad does, why we do it and how we do it. Well, this little minion of the spices, moi, is going to reveal some of our spicy little secrets. Of course, not all of them, you still need to be a little left in the dark in order to actually join us.

So, are you ready? Lift off!

The Spice Squad is the only place where you can cheer for the Gryffindor house and show how insane you, and we, really are. Basically, the Spice Squad spices are the cheerleaders of Gryffindor and we make sure that our house is shot into victory. Yes, we know Gryffindor isn’t in first place, but that is another reason Gryffindor has the awesome spices! We make sure our house doesn’t lose its famous courage, as Gryffindors stand up to fight for their team. We make sure that our house doesn’t drop their swords on the battle field during the fight for the Quidditch House Cup. We are most importantly here to make sure they don't lose the heart and they stay valiant: We either make a way or we find one.

We actually have orders from our High Queen Liah Longbottom to sneak up on and attack any unsuspecting house members who have yet to sign up for the new Common Room. So, if you happen to be one of those...BE PREPARED. We are watching you. *stares*

The evil part of this all is very rare, you know. Still, it is there for we are 80% angel and 20% demon, but no worries, the Gryffindor Spices are more into cheering then hunting (although I can’t say the same about my Mistress Liah . She is very scary *nods* )

You might have seen us around already cheering, for we post comments to your profiles on a regular basis and, no, those are not stalking messages. Those are there to remind you all of two things: Firstly, the spice squad loves you and is cheering for you. Two, we are lurking in the shadows to snatch you away to never be seen again! That only happens when you do not earn points, though.

Besides the wonderful frivolous cheering, cheering is not the only thing we do. We love to bug and harass support our wonderful HoH (no need to shout her awesomeness in here, she knows). We also support our fabulous Quidditch team. We try to attend each match and ‘pom pom wave’ all of the members on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. So, if you have seen (or heard) some weird looking people, dressed in red and gold, making noise, and hippity-hoppity people on the Quidditch field... You are looking at us. Be prepared.

In short, you can say that the Spice Squad is probably the weirdest looking bunch in the Gryffindor house, but we do not care. You need heart to be a spice and not many can tell if they have the spirit to do so. However, if you do think you got the spirit, then join us and dive into the dark mystery that is the Spice Squad.

Greetings,
Spice Squad Minion
