At the front, Emm cleared everything from the anchor's desk....by tossing them off the edge then grabbed a pair of glasses from her pocket that she'd grabbed earlier while getting into costume. She leaned against the desk, facing her classmates. "Good evening," Truly, she did not care what time of day it was when they were pretending, "And welcome to Gossip Central. I'm Emmerson Cambridge," She paused for Violet to offer her own name before continuing.

"In our top story this evening, we've got the most scandalous scoop on none other than our own shady Headmaster, Malachi Trent. Evil child sacrificer or negligent maniac? More on this from Violet Blackthorne."

Hopefully the girl had some good stuff up her sleeve.
First?! They weren't ready to go first! But Violet found herself being pulled toward the front of the classroom before she had a chance to open her mouth. And now this little eager-beaver I wanna take the lead first year was throwing her under the bus, in front of the whole class.

Well, she had started this, and now she'd better say something quick.

"Violet Blackthorne here, reporting for Gossip Central from the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchery. Our sources have reported disturbing rumors of a school field trip to the Forbidden Forest led by Headmaster Malachi Trent, during which witnesses report the professor was seen to walk away alone into the depths of the forest, leaving a group of underage students alone to face a herd" --did one call them a herd?-- "of hungry Acromantulas. Although the headmaster did return in the nick of time" (but just in the very nick) "where he went or what he was doing has yet to be revealed. Investigations are underway, and we will be reporting back as soon as we learn anything new.

Back to you, Emmerson."
And the little girl had darned well better say something of her own, now.
