The next day, Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily all met up after breakfast in the Room of Requirement at Lily's request.

"So, "said Lily clearly, "I have called us here today because I wish for our group to have a symbol. I know we decided yesterday to call ourselves the Circle of Eighteen. I want us to have a logo to go along with that name. Any suggestions?"

"Can we use the color red in our logo?" asked Samantha hopefully.

"I love that idea!" said James eagerly, "Red is a bright enough color to represent friendship while simultaneously being a dark enough color to be bold."

"James is EXACTLY RIGHT!" added Devon excitedly, "Let's use red!"

"Let's put it to a vote then, " said Lily cheerfully, "Raise your hand if you approve of red as the color for the logo of the Circle of Eighteen!"

Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily all raised their right hands.

"So, with that settled, what should the symbol actually be?"

"The number 18? " suggested Ainsley.

"That's a good idea, " realized Lily, "But not by itself- OHHHH!"

Everyone looked at Lily and she answered their unspoken question of what had come to her mind.

"A red circle with the number 18 in the middle of the circle in red numbering!" burst out Lily.

"YES!" chroused Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily.

"To make it official, " said Lily happily, "Raise your hand if you vote for a red circle with the number 18 in the middle of the circle in red lettering to become the logo if the Circle of Eighteen. "

Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily all raised their right hands.

"A red circle with the number 18 in the middle of the circle in red numbering is now the logo of the circle of eighteen, " said Lily joyfully.

Lily now turned her attention to a stack of eighteen white tee shirts sitting on a table in the middle of the Room of Requirement.

Lily pulled her wand out of her right hand pocket and got to work. She took each shirt one by one and performed a partial Color Change Charm on them so that the red circle with the red 18 in the middle that was now their logo appeared on each shirt.

Handing one of the shirts out to everybody, Lily said clearly, "I want all of us to wear these shirts to the BBQ feast on Friday night. Remember that the medalists for the Hogwarts Drawing Competition will be announced then. I want us to present ourselves as a unified group at the announcement. Hold the shirts up in front of yourselves if you agree to do this."

Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily all held the shirts with the Circle of Eighteen logo up in front of themselves.

"Good, " said Lily brightly,

"The Circle of Eighteen!" chroused Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily.

The Circle of Eighteen received news on the morning of Friday, April 2nd, 2020. when McGonagall sent Lily a note at breakfast informing her that all eighteen members of the Circle of Eighteen had been selected by the judges of the Hogwarts Drawing Coemption to have their drawings displayed, but not to tell anyone but themselves in advance.

Lily passed the note around to Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, and Samantha before Samantha passed it back to her and it disintegrated into nothing.

Devon, James, Hugo, Gary, Todd, Miles, Albus, Fred, Gordon, Pamela, Rose, Roxanne, Rachel, Ainsley, Courtney, Stephanie, Samantha, and Lily all quietly smiled at each other. There was a feeling of pure joy and satisfaction amongst the Circle of Eighteen. Whatever happened with medals, all eighteen now knew that they had succeeded.
