Some posters have begun to be posted in common areas of the school, nothing like the Slythern Siren Seven ones though. These seem to follow a color scheme all its own. They all have the Hogwarts emblem drawn onto them though, and a message underneath it. Towards the bottom are drawings of various students in plain black robes, they look saddened. The message is written in a purple ink and reads as follows:

"Help maintain our school pride! Lately students have been "banned" from wearing their house colors, being named as "houseless" by students and teachers alike. Houses exist as symbols of unity among us students. Let us not shun our own away for their differences! Join the House Color Freedom Movement and help win back the right for ALL to show their true colors!

You the students of Hogwarts can make a stand! Simply wear clothing that doesn't show the colors of your house and we can make a silent argument. Let us demand equal treatment, All or Nothing! If some students aren't being allowed to wear their own house colors, then why should we? Do what is right! Be part of a greater unity!

The posters get taken down repeatedly.

Some posters have been completely 'blanked'. Turned solid black, and simply left there.

((I get the feeling most people are very much against her little movement))

In completely unfamiliar writing, the following is written on more than a few of the blanked out posters:

"Welcome to Hogwarts, where prejudice and priviledge are built into the scholastic system. Where you can learn to hate, despise, fear, and resent people without even having to look different from them. Where blood is a commodity, and your House is supposedly your home. Where the mentality of Us Versus Them is more than a mantra, it is a way of life. Where no matter what you do, everything is decided by the strips of fabric that show where you go to bed at night.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, indeed. Hope you survive your education. This Public Service Announcement has been brought to you by Houseless Harry Henderson, remaining colour-free since 1763
."

And if it is looked up, one could actually find a student named Harrison Henderson who went to Hogwarts back in the 1700s. The strange thing is, there are two other "Harry Henderson" names also to be found, one in the 1800s (a young lady named Hariliena "Harry" Henderson, and two in the mid 1950s (twins, Harold Cloverfield Henderson and Haralda Ginseng Henderson). All four of them were members of Gryffindor.

Any modified blanked out posters would end up taken down, and tossed in a rubbish bin.
