OOC: This is ENTIRELY IC. As this is the case, in order for gossip to be posted and for your characters to find out the latest, we NEED people who witness things to owl us on this account so it can be reported on. This is to keep everything canon and IC. Please do not post in this thread, that is for us to do.
How do you get a hold of this magical gossip parchment IC? Well that is entirely up to you and be creative with it! Maybe it's under the Giant Squids tongue or clinging onto one of the many Hogwarts statues, or look! Is that the back page of your History of Magic textbook?
Exaggerations may be made on this parchment, but do not take these to heart, this is just for fun. Promise. If you are still unsure of what this is, think of it as a Merlin's beard for more personal plotlines, whereas Merlin's beard is dedicated to the school-wide plot. Hope you all read and enjoy!
P.S This has been staff approved.
P.P.S if you ABSOLUTELY do not want your character mentioned at all, you can PM us and let us know, and we'll do our best to ignore you
If anyone is interested in joining the elite team of Aparecium please shoot a PM to the Aparecium account with a small sample of your writing, we'd really prefer a bit of current gossip if your character can sniff it out IC.
If you do become part of our super secret team, we need a minimum of three articles over the course of the term, that is just one per month. Easy.
We currently have ONE space available on the Aparecium team! Those sneaky individuals who contributed in the past will need to REAPPLY in the usual way.
The FIRST rule is not to tell anyone that you have an interest in the job, please. The secret is not to let others know it's you.
We have currently filled all positions for this term.
ooc: Send us some tips! PM the Aparecium account explaining what the goss is, and (if possible) linking us to where it happened.
REMEMBER: if your character does not know IC, either from hearing about it in the RP or actually being there and witnessing it, then they do not know about it and can't report it!

Aren't we all pumped up for this year? Didn't we all hear the headmistress say that Hogwarts got back what it lost? We all were there and we all heard! Such great news to start off the year with. That and getting to meet new staffers who must be quite courageous to get involved with a school that is known for regular, unintentional disposal of Professors. A very important point, yet there's another one that is as interesting.
What about beards?
A question that might not ring any bells except for those who were present at the first Arithmancy lesson.
Remember when the Headmistress said that Hogwarts got everything back?
It seems that she forgot to mention that the school is still broke that not all Professors could be paid. It's been hugely suspected and almost confirmed that Professor R.French is in fact from the muggle world and works as Santa Clause . Don't get us wrong, we have nothing against muggles. However, it does concern us when we find out that the so-called Professor is only here because he wants to recruit students to join in his business. Why else does everyone have to grow beards? Those who look good in beards are going to be enrolled in the Santa Clause program. This way the school doesn't have to pay the professor. Favors exchange. Seems like we're going to miss quite a good number of innocent students who just happen to have the jaw line for a beard. But hey, friends might get special presents?
Apparently, the Governors are just sitting twiddling their thumbs.
Here at the aparecium, we listen to the whispers all over the castle, but it seems that we didn’t need finely tuned ears to hear this juicy gossip. Mr. Stone when you yell on the train everyone can hear you, dear. And what a delicious spot of gossip it was. It seems that Ravenclaw Quidditch Star Aidan Stone is far too complex for a love triangle; love webs are much more his style.
Last term he was spotted around the castle with the likes of Alexa Cambridge and Lotus Wisteria, but who would have known he had eyes for a certain brown haired Gryffindor beauty? Everyone now. According to our sources, Stone was seen yelling at his two friends on the train about leaking his crush on Penelope Greenwell. Juicier still, it seems that Alexa Cambridge has her own little crush on Stone. Two pages worth of feelings.
To entangle this web more, which is downright stylish these days, our sources whispered that Lotus was spotted sneaking a cheek kiss on Tag Kildare. An interesting factoid being that its rumoured that Tag kissed Cassia Somerlad. We here at the aparecium thought they were all friends. Drama, darling.
We will just have to sit back and see, Hogwarts, how this whole web of feelings works itself out. No doubt it will be perfectly scandalous.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Did Minerva Wheatborn miss that memo? It looks like she did to us, pumpkins. Ethan McCarthy, recent Hogwarts graduate and stud muffin, has only been away from his girlfriend for a month and it looks like Miss Wheatborn doesn’t do distance well. The whispers around the castle point fingers toward deliciously dashing Hufflepuff Head Boy, Wade Potter. Hmmm.
The pair of them have been spotted hanging out closely and even exiting Astronomy with arms linked. Maybe we’re old fashioned but that looks like a romantic stroll to us, dearies.
Who can blame her? Potter is downright tempting. However, it does seem odd that her fancy not been brushed aside by the Head Boy because Potter is still dating Indy Hutchinson. The plot thickens. Do the significant others of our Hufflepuff romancers know about Wheatborn and Potter’s close friendship? We’d like to know.
All we will say is this: we wish we had a friend like that.
Gossip. How boring would our lives be without a lil gossip? Quite boring if you'd ask me. Which is why I am going to tickle your ears with my latest gossips to take you away from your boredom miseries.
Most of you I am quite sure did attend your classes this week? Yes? If so you would have noticed something that rather stood out to me. Beards. Is it not peculiar that both Professor Flamsteed and our new Arithmancy Professor, French had students with beards in their lessons? Now, now. This may be some coincidence, but I think not. I think there is something behind it. Do keep a close watch on them for me, dear students. Remember what happened with the ice cream last term? We don't want that to happen again, do we?
Along with the beards, something about Professor French's teaching style intrigued me. I am not sure about you all but I find it odd that painting with a beard is to be considered part of studying numbers and their meanings. And all that shouting and speaking in odd ways? Sounds a little unprofessional doesn't it? We're keeping our eyes GLUED on you French. W3'll know 3XACTLY what y0u d0 b3fore you can c0unt 1.2.3. B3 carefu1 0f what y0u d0.
This beard talk may not be much but with the Prefect Event on it's way we are BOUND to have what you are waiting for. Gossip. Gossip and more Gossip. Because what better place for there to be gossip than at a Pajama party? Huddling around with our jammies and sharing our secrets? Yes? Yes? Do not forget to include us dear, Aparecium readers.
Minerva Wheatborn, Ariana Logan, Penelope Greenwell, and Sky Carter-Hope seem to have more in common than any of us knew...apart from their obvious quidditching ways. Yep, we've seen them all trying out for their respective teams. We see all, remember? But no, there is more here than meets the eye.
They've formed an "ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO BETTER" club...and the rules are simple! "NO BOYS ALLOWED!" No flyers have been posted as of yet...but they've already recruited new members, including Cassia Somerlad and Claudette d'Avignon. We are not sure how the boyfriends feel about all this, but they surely cannot be happy.
At the suggestion that beards 'make the arithmancer', these ladies were on the verge of a mass uprising, speaking out against the poor, excitable professor. He just wanted them to do well and succeed, YES. OKAY?!
Girls, take it easy on your elders. Cynicism comes with old age. It's not his fault, YES. OKAY.
Every now and then we all run into a spot of gossip that’s just too good to ignore. This time it’s the Astronomy Professor that’s fallen under our radar. We’ve all heard the tragic tale of the missing pet, actually thought to have been done away with by a jealous Headmistress who could never get her own pet to be nearly as well behaved (we’ve all seen the cat droppings swept into the corner, might want to check on those house elves) but isn’t Flamsteed taking things a bit too far?
He was seen handing out fliers at the start of term feast, giving scant regard to the personal space of the others, sitting at the table.
In his desperation to find the pebble named ‘Rock’ he was willing to recklessly put his students in danger under the guise that they were having a class in which precautionary measures were ‘well thought up’. A likely story but we ALL know how it is. Get a few children flying above the lake, have them shot down, at least one of them is bound to sink before the man eating squid can get to them. Hoping to get an extra pair of eyes at the bottom of the lake Airey? Tsk tsk.
We’ve also gotten reports of the man wibbling around the castle, throwing his tears at anyone who’ll listen. Heartbreaking, tragic but false. It’s no secret the man has always been an attention seeker. Isn’t it possible this is his latest stunt to sneak a few extra cuddles out of a certain Defense Professor? Or is this all an elaborate plan to set up a rock finding, spirit lifting séance with the blonde Divination Belle?
We know your games Airey and here at the Aparecium, we’re on to you.
The other day I was rather hungry and I decided to head towards the kitchen for a snack. Lucky for me my eyes' and ear's hunger was fed too.
Most of us wait till we're older for kisses and relationships but maybe that's not entirely the case for first years Cutty Mordaunt and Fern Quimbley. These two seemed to have been rather close as I walked past them by the Hufflepuff barrels. I believe they would have even kissed if it wasn't for Charlie Tudor's shocked interruption.
It seems Fern is afraid to confess her feelings for Cutty in front of the company of others as she kept on shouting about what a jerk Cutty was and how she wanted to 'end' things with him, when Charlie appeared. Yet, us writers we know what's going on. Girls do this all the time. Plus we do have our evidence because we did see you Fern! You seemed to get close to Cutty's face quite fine before Charlie came along. Don't deny it, young one, we can tell you do like Cutty even at such a young age. I would be careful though, wouldn't want a boyfriend to call you Godzilla, now would you?
Good luck to you, young lovers. Look after your ickle hearts.
Till next time, then and keep sending in those juicy tips!
Winter is upon us! As you stay huddled in common rooms near fire places or under covers. That sounds quite cozy and enjoyable but definitely not as cozy as a picnic near the ducks' pond, is it? How would we know? Our best chance is to ask both Mister Cash and Miss McIntyre whom were spotted by the pond both jolly and exultant enjoying the warmest last rays of sunshine.
Although, it still was chilly, the two seemed to have been prepared and had brought blankets and soup. We know of the soup because the delicious smell filled the nostrils of those who were lucky enough to pass by this beautiful scene. And as much as we all wanted to know what kind of soup, we hated to interrupt the two who seemed pretty preoccupied. Who'd want to ruin the mood? Even the ducks ceased to quack afraid they might disturb the couple. Yes, we have ducks who report to the Aparecium.
Now aren't we all happy hearing this, except maybe Taylor's ex-boyfriend Brodie Livingston? Just a guess there .
We do hope the best for Nash and Taylor and wish them a bright future full of that legendary Ravenclaw angst. Such a well-thought out first date. We approve of and encourage such gestures. Especially out in the open where we can sniff it out and share with the rest of the Hogwarts population. Many might be encouraged and inspired.
Keep it up Hogwartians! And we have our eyes on potentials new couples.
They say Ravenclaw’s are smart and like to keep their noses in books, but we are wondering what exactly newbie Vesper Bayliss is actually looking at in her trusty notebook she is always carrying around. Is it notes from class, notes about fellow Hogwarts students, or could it possibly her own diary about her feelings for Captain Marcus Branxton. We've heard she even uses locks of his hair for a bookmark!
Yes dear we have seen the way you look at him in classes and how friendly you were being as you cleaned the Suit of Armour together. What a romantic set up to tell your friends later on. Showing the boy how well you clean to prove to him you’d be the perfect girlfriend. Possibly trying to get him to see you in a better light than his happy to bake for him Slytherin, but don’t worry Caterina she seems to be making sure not to look be as friendly when you’re around. Our eyes saw how poker face quiet she was being in potions when you were with your Ravenclaw.
We’d love to know if anyone has gotten a peak at this notebook of hers, because our friendly eyes have seen more than just that adorable captain in her sight. A little owl has told us that she has been friendly with others as well. From the train to the pitch. Miss Bayliss we will be watching to see who your next entry might be about.
As winter approaches most students are bundling up for the cold, but it seems our ladies of Hogwarts are not having trouble keeping warm with the eye candy that has been walking around Hogsmeade. Sources say that these guys of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have been getting plenty of attention as they try to make their way around.
As we walked the streets of Hogsmeade trying to stay warm on the chilly winter day our eyes couldn’t help to come across a certain fifth year Gryffindor smiling and getting close to one of the Beauxbaton hotties. Oh yes Sarah Edwards we saw you gettingclose for the warmth of Gaston Le Blanc’s cuteness on that wintery street. Maybe it’s the looks or maybe it’s the French accent that has our Hogwart ladies looking to another school.
She isn’t the only one though my friends, oh no one of our sources said they laid eyes on a seventh year Slytherin getting to know a Durmstrang boy in the Three Broomsticks. Looks like our little Ariana Logan is looking to find someone to replace a graduated former Head Boy. Some may say Miss Logan has a hard exterior, but maybe not when it comes to the accent of Vilhelm Andersen.
Don’t worry your heads off Hogwart boys. There are plenty of new girls walking around as well. The word on the Hogsmeade street is the Durmstrang girls like their candy and can be found at Honeydukes near the Chocolate Frogs.
What is the secret to Alec Summer’s whiptastic hair? Rumor in the corridors is that it isn’t even real but is an expensive wig made from the finest Aethonan hair.
Now that is one Puffer’s hair that is full of secrets!
Have you ever wondered how to give the perfect compliment to a girl? You could tell her her school shoes might have just the right amount of dirt, her hair might have one less pin than yesterday, hey her robes might not make her look that fat afterall but if you really want to impress a girl you might want to go looking for one Ascanius Stark. The boys never short on compliments.
Let’s face it girls. If you haven’t been called ‘gorgeous’ by this Slytherin Charmer, you’ve likely been living under a rock or assault his eyes in ways they weren’t supposed to be assaulted. Not to say you’re ugly. Is it possible for him to use such a word? It has yet to be seen. Not even the Professors are exempt from his compliments. Just what game are you playing at Mr. Stark? Truthfully, we don’t care, as long as it brings in the drama that keeps us around. We also have to question whether his Gryffindor girlfriend, Penelope Greenwell minds sharing her compliments with everything in a skirt. I sure would!
From what we’ve heard she isn’t the only Gryffindor learning the golden rule of sharing. Alice dear? How ‘gorgeous’ do your boyfriend’s eyes look when they’re plastered to another girl’s face? Our sources tell us the biting Captain has a lot of experience with this. That rumour of the pair sharing coping advice in a corner of the Common Room while the rest of the Pride sleeps is beginning to look even realer than when we first heard it.
Is it a coincidence that both boyfriends happen to be snakes? Come now dears, we all know the Aparecium doesn’t believe in such things. If you want, we could set you up with a book dealer selling ‘How to Train Your Boyfriend’. Send us a note if you’re interested. Until next time my darlings, remember to be good, we’re always watching.
Have you been hearing the shouting and noise of objects bouncing off of someone? Fear not our favorite students for it’s not Peeves up to his old tricks, but the Minister's not so sweet or innocent daughter showing us she is crushing on her fellow second year lion, Michael Toussaint. They always say with young love the more you pick on the person the more you like them and if that’s the case Zahra Kettleburn has one major crush on Master Toussaint. Our sources have told us that these two can be found picking on each other throughout the castle and Zahra has no trouble showing her unspoken crush by throwing erasers at the poor boys head.
Our sources say recently Zahra’s feelings have gone a bit crazy as it seems little Michael has his eyes set for older women. The boy has been seen making chocolate frogs with a fourth year Alexa Cambridge. Was that the reason Miss Kettleburn was wanting to throw her crush out of a window or was it her surge of jealously as she watched Master Toussaint make eyes at yet another older girl, this time a prefect? The whispers in the walls say that Zahra went mad with rage throwing more things at him.
It seems Zahra tried to match Michael's prefect with one of her own. Was it at that moment she had changed feelings for Michael and set her standards to older as well? We believe she was trying to fight jealousy with jealousy. Maybe the Minister didn’t teach his daughter to behave as well as he hoped, but who could blame her? Love makes you do crazy things.
Keep your eyes on this one Hogwartians and let us know when Zahra Kettleburn strikes again.
Oh where, oh where has our Captain gone? Namely one Derryth Ferrier who was, as until just recently, the Slytherin Captain. Just juicy, it seems we have a deserter.
Miss Ferrier who was all lined up for a glorious season as captain and seeker has vanished from the school grounds. Our sources say she has taken a fall to the head, which might explain her absence, but we are curious. Yes, dearies, the timing is delicious. Not that West Odessa seems to mind stepping into her shoes.
Now, now Slytherins. This whole ordeal seems somewhat slippery- her tragic fall to the head and stepping down from captain. It makes us wonder if this leave of absence was planned by Miss Ferrier to get Mr. Odessa captainship. After all, our sources say she has been pinning away after a certain Slytherin. Could it be Odessa? Or maybe his best mate, Theo Kinsley. Love makes us do crazy things.
Hmm. Something to ponder. It seems we have gleamed one thing from this: keep your friends close and your Slytherins closer.
There is nothing like that age where boys become awkward around girls and do weird things to show them they like her. Thankfully we all grow out of it. Most of us anyway.
Someone might need to send Professor Flamsteed a howler telling him he is WAY past the age of awkwardness around females. It seems last term's awkward dancing, singing, planking professor is at it again with his mixed up triangle of affection between Professor Romanos and Professor Elwood.
We are sure by now you have all seen the new paddle boats at the lake. They're bright, colorful and certainly appear to be the new hot spot for those looking for some romance. The professor was seen getting quite comfy in the paddle boats with a certain blonde Professor. Has the science loving Astronomy professor found his shooting star in Professor Elwood and will that mean that Elwood should be ready to defend herself against a jealous Romanos?
Or will it be Elwood who is snorting flames out her nose and pulling out Romanos' hair in a jealous rage? Professor Space Man was seen giving a very generous gift to the DADA professor in the sculpture exhibit and have been spotted together on more than one occasion. It sure seems as though Flamsteed is willing to go to the moon and back for this one and perhaps she is as well. We all know Flamsteed is terrified of cats and it just so happens that Romanos left her precious furry companions home this term. Coincidence? I think not!
I'd be careful if I were you ladies. Next thing you'll kiss Flamsteed and have a bright pink beard growing down your face. Now that might not make you look like a good Seer or vampire, but according to Professor French it will surely make you a good Arithmancer. Or maybe the Headmistress should give an adult class on how to date a coworker? We all know that she would know a thing or two about that.
Watch out ladies, there is a Ravenclaw roaming about that might just try to take your special Puffer boys. It seems that Ravenclaw seventh year Taylor McIntyre has a thing for Hufflepuff boys and she has been seen flirting with a number of them this term. And let's not even talk about the past, shall we? Who is Taylor McIntyre anyway you might ask? Well around the corridors she is known as the quiet seventh year who can be found twirling about that is if she isn’t batting her eyes and flirting with all the Hufflepuff boys.
Yes, Miss McIntyre, we have seen you over the years batting your eyes and even dating a few. We thought maybe Miss McIntyre found her badger love when we reported her little date at the duck pond with fellow seventh year Nashville Cash, but it seems this badger magnet mistress as found a force field for yet another. Hufflestud Head Boy looks to be on her radar next. We’ve caught Taylor and Wade getting rather comfy at the Three Broomsticks, but that’s not the only places that she seems to have been batting her eye lashes at him. No the two have been noticed in the castle strolling along forgetting that others are around.
Shall we start guessing who could be next? I think the Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain might want to borrow one of her Beaters' bats to stay protective of her own relationship. It’s only a matter of time before Miss McIntyre sets her eyes on the Hufflepuff hair whipper Alec Summers. We can only wait and see, because we will see Miss McIntyre, we always see.
In the meantime, try to keep those eyelashes to yourself before they fall out from all that batting they are doing.
Lots! Lots! Lots has been happening! And we, we have seen it all. You can't hide anything from us dearie students, not even if you try sneak out at late hours in the morning. We see everything!
The Chamber of Secrets has been open? Do you all really believe this is happening again? I think the only chamber of secrets we should talk about opening are the Frenchies' chamber of secrets. They seem to have a lot to hide because I don't know about you but a pink cat is quite the give away if you'd ask me.
The Frenchies aren't the only one's with secrets though, the Durmies have some baggage too it seems. I'm sure many have you whom attended the party at the Observatory would have seen or heard of our fellow Quidditch Captain being knocked out to the floor with 'invisible' coins. Someone had to have made them invisible and isn't it a little suspicious that the coins were perfectly fine and usable till the Durmies came along?
Watch carefully, Hogwarts you might just be under some foreign ambush.
Keep safe and keep those eyes open, till next time.
Somepuff seems to be just a little obsessed with fire these days. Fifth year Kaiden Yarborough has been seen practically drooling over the flames in Muggle Studies. Tisk tisk, Professor Hadley, you should not encourage Hogwarts' newest pyromaniac. He needs no more fuel added to his fire, especially since his love for flames has him as a prime suspect for the fire in the greenhouses. Really, Kaiden, just because you are not a fan of the Ravenclaws doesn't mean you should attack Professor Bentley and her greenhouses!
Someone needs to remind this Puffer that playing with fire will only get you burned. I suggest a Ravenclaw do it.
It might be time to change the characteristics of our dear Hufflepuffs. Those among that are suppose to be so loyal have fallen to wondering eyes more so than not this term. First the Head Boy and now the wig wearing hair whipper is finding himself in quite the pickle. Yes, Mr. Summers, we saw you being all sly on your broom. It seems to us that snitches aren’t the only thing you are trying to catch up there in the sky.
Hufflepuff's Golden Seeker seems to have forgotten he is in a relationship with fellow Puffer and Quidditch Captain Ella Bishop. He’s been spotted up in the sky with one of our visitng Beauxbatons, Léa Maltisse. The two seemed to be hitting it off and are quite cozy up in the skies. Could there be trouble in paradise for the Captain as a French accent comes in and scoops up her Seeker like he is the flavor of the week at the ice cream parlor?
Miss Maltisse is the only guest making their rounds. Fellow Beauxbatons guest Gaston Le Blanc has been seen eyeing many of the female Hogwartian population, especially getting close with a certain Hufflepuff Prefect. He might not just have his eyes on her since he seen seducing the sweet loving Alexa Cambridge with some sweets at the lake. Hogwarts ladies aren't the only girls on his radar either. We caught him using his pearly whites on a certain Durmstrang student Bronislave Zyonimir. The ladies might need to take a number with this one.
Keep your eyes wide and your whispers loud Hogwarts.
Do you remember a time when you walked the dungeons with soft tip toes or would never think to even sneeze during a Potions class for fear of being used as an ingredient? How about that fear you felt when you got injured and were told to go see the Healer? No, you don’t remember having these fears? Well, we are starting to forget as well. It seems that the terrifying staff friendship has come to an end dear Hogwartians. You can walk around with a calm breath. The two haven’t been spotted causing fear ALL term and from our understanding they are actually doing the opposite.
Did you hear Professor Lafay has grandchildren running around the school? Her two little blessings are both in her house. Maybe this is the purpose for her change in attitude? She has been caught in class being patient and giving advice, but the best possible clue for our Potions <istress would be the day she brought her young daughter to work and stuck her in a bubble as the class watched. Have to wonder if the Headmistress knew it was bring your child to work day or maybe Professor Lafay is going to start her own staff run daycare centered in her own classroom. Staff discounts would apply we are sure.
And hat about her best friend? Did Healer Tillstorm find a new terrifying way to be more evil than she already was? It seems she is trying something new this term. Not being around at all. Has she had other options outside of Hogwarts that have kept her busy or just too many students in the Hospital Wing? Our sources say the hospital wing has been pretty empty we will have to go with her mind has been distracted by other things. When seen she does seem to have a certain smile on her face and the tables have talked and said she has been nice to some Hufflepuffs. We hear there is a new man in her life and is just a Disney Princess at heart.
Honestly students, what is your school coming to if we can’t even rely on our two head Women of Mean for a good "scare the student to death story"?
Exactly what has this world come to? Ask anyone and they’ll tell you Ravenclaw boys and big dreams. It’s been a popular trend this term; our boys falling for older woman, girls just can’t get a break. The latest in this tragic loss of youth to higher expectations is none other than resident Ravenclaw Captain Marcus Branxton. Looks like being blonde won’t help you this time Miss Moretti. This boy has eyes only for a certain Divination Professor.
Word around the corridor is that he is always referring to her as ‘Professor Pretty’. How romantic if not somewhat creepy. We’re a little concerned Mr. Branxton.
During Herbology the boy was seen dedicating a special brand of tea to Professor Pretty and rumour has it that once it was complete, he got down on one need and offered it to her. We’ll assume she cried and gave him hot chocolate after because that’s how all great love stories go when you involve pre-schoolers with teacher crushes.
If things weren’t interesting enough our sources tell us the Italian has begun taking extra Divination classes in the hopes of competing. It’s all in the heels and the swing of the hips Caterina, nail those and you’ll have won back your boyfriend, but judging from what we’ve seen you might just end up the object of every first years affection. There’s just no winning is there? Yes, there is, for us. Keep the gossip coming, and you could be the next Calista Elwood, if you’re hoping to snag a Ravenclaw beau.
What does a sweet addicted lion, an academic competition, and a transfer Beauxboton student mean? A catfight full of cheering, screaming, hair pulling, and burning. Alright maybe the hair pulling is an exaggeration, but if someone hadn’t stepped in it looked as if these girls would have made it to hair pulling. What were Alexa Cambridge and Claudette d'Avignon fighting over that made the girls set a sign on fire as well as embarrass themselves in front of three schools and spectators. None other than Gaston Le Blanc. Is it us or has this boy gotten around to know and flirt with most of the Hogwart girls?
These two girls were seen fighting over who loved him more and who could cheer for him louder. If you didn’t think the two were suspicious for fighting over their one true love, then maybe Sarah Edwards would bring the concern to spectators watching. It seems the eye candy French boy as been up to no good by slipping these girls love potions. Now doesn’t this make more sense that someone tampered with the Chocolate addicted Alexa. We all know her first love will always be chocolate even if we have enjoyed watching her make love puppy eyes towards something other than her sweets.
But don’t worry these love stricken teens didn’t get very far before our own headmistress put matters in her own hands and gave the girls both cold showers to calm them down. Bravo headmistress for making the situation worse instead of better, but you seem to be good at that aren’t you? At least this time you didn’t just run scared. Has anything been done about this boy yet? No! Does this surprise anyone though that he is still walking around planning after the girl’s outburst. Rumor has it a few Ravenclaw girls could be starting a revenge on the Frenchie club in which they could be plotting against him. So keep eyes open for suspicious treats and retaliation Hogwarts. Until next time.
Want to know how to ruin your reputation? Just ask Lotus Wisteria. We hear she is losing her snakey edge and looking more and more Hufflepuff these days.
But hey, that's what happens when your name starts being associated with a certain pity kiss giving self proclaimed delusional leprechaun.
Do not pity the dead, Hogwartians. Pity the pity couples.
Aparecium Term 35
