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.

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 Ern approved.

Hello Hogwartians! Are you lot ready to play?

I am Nemesis, goddess of retribution against evil deeds. All you little evil doers of Hogwarts; be warned. I will be watching your every move this term. Nothing is a secret and you certainly are not safe from my sharp tongue and even sharper quill.

You can rest assured that I will uncover your evil deeds and make you pay. I have no patience for your insolence and I shall leave no stone unturned within these castle walls.

If you be too happy, or too sad... I will be here to measure that and remedy the situation accordingly. Not to sound too foreboding, but you have better watch your step as well as your lips. Whatever I hear or whatever I see will be published for all to judge.

-Nemesis

**Aparecium** · 02-10-2011, 11:59 PM

As being the goddess of wisdom, strategy, and war, I feel as if it is my duty to remind you: A secret never lasts as a secret for long. Welcome back to all you readers out there, and I want to give a special warm welcome to those just now becoming aware that we even exist, despite how long we've been here. Don't worry, I'll be keeping my eyes on you and in my radar just as much as I have with everyone else, so don't go feeling left out!

Regardless of who, what, when, where, and even why, my eyes are peeled and my ears are open for the next greatest scandals at the school that I will surely entice you with. Some of you may not like it and that's too bad considering I and everyone else find it rather good gossip. I'm rather sure you'll all embrace the fact that people will find out your little secrets eventually, not to mention you'll feel so much better if the world knew, and what better way than here? If not, then I wish you the very best of luck.

Keep your eyes and ears open. You never know when the Aparecium may appear.

Yours very truly,

Athena

Fair as a jasmine flower, the moon or a flake of snow, I shine brilliantly in the evening, brighten the day at dawn, and stand in the heavens as the moon alongside my brother Apollo who is the sun.

I am Artemis, the bright goddess and nimble speaker. Just like the moon I reign over, I am ever present, ever watching so that, like the huntress I am, I may track your secrets and let slip your whispers.

It is said that everyone is like a moon and has a dark side which they never show to anybody. But you must remember that I am goddess of the moon and the hunt, and I will illuminate your dark side.

It’s all moonshine,

Artemis

**Aparecium** · 02-11-2011, 12:07 AM

As sure as the sun will rise,

So shall the truth of your secrets and lies.

My usual task of bringing forth the light,

Shall double in its use to bring your business into plain sight.

Your falsity, betrayal and relationships shall soon be seen,

Much as my chariot slides away the sun's golden sheen.

So now after you have been warned,

Will my fellows and I spare you from scorn?

Much good fortune,

Apollo

The Two Faces of Mr. Sabel Dakest

We all know that the moon has two faces, one light and one dark. However, the moon is not the only one keeping part of itself in the shadows. Sabel Dakest, who has created the illusion of being a true Gryffindor through his charm and dimples, may not be the chivalrous knight in crimson robes that we all think he is.

Whispers in the night have told the stars that he has been given an assignment by none other than the Mistress of Dark Deeds herself, Hecate Lafay. Rumor has it that Mr. Dakest was seen being given an envelope while in her office whose contents remain a mystery. What dark secrets lay hidden within the folds of the paper? Could it be that the Potions Mistress has asked for the Gryffindor to spy students and give her daily reports? Perhaps instructions to a potion that will allow Dakest to transform himself into something that will help him do the woman’s bidding? There is also a potential connection to the recent expulsion of a Ms. Damian Slytherin. The Slytherin often sought Lafay’s consultation and is rumored to have been on a mission to breed basilisk and set them on the school. With all the recent talk of Muggles, this seems to be the mostly likely scenario.

Keep a keen eye out, dear moonchildren, and do not allow yourself to be mooned away into darkness.

It’s all moonshine,

Artemis

Muggles, Muggles Everywhere...

Faithful Readers,

I am sure you lot have noticed a change in our curriculum. I have to say, I am not pleased with all this Muggle talk. Okay, I get it, we need to be well rounded people, but when Muggle talk cuts into my precious spell casting time I am none too pleased. Every class, it seems, has erupted into near CHAOS with the heated debates about Muggles and the precious Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. I say, enough is enough! We need to learn defensive magic, charms, how to brew potions that are actually USEFUL to us, not sit in a classroom shouting about whether we love or hate the Muggles of the world.

Along with this curriculum change has come a new face thrown into the mix. A face that seems to have certain students kicking up a fuss. The newly appointed Special Security Liaison, Mr. Ikenna Gevrik, is whom I speak of. The uproar about this man has been giving me a headache. Humph. From what I have seen he is just looking out for our best interests. He seems to have some pretty good ideas about the plight of the Muggle and how we can help. I advise you all to give him a chance, go speak to him, have a cuppa with him. You might just have the opportunity to be enlightened… which, sadly, I think a LOT of the students around here could do with a little enlightenment. As long as it is outside of a classroom I think this conversational topic is fine. Go, discuss, be enlightened students of Hogwarts. Please.

I would like to remind you of one little thing: I am watching you. Always.

Yours most sincerely,

Nemesis

**Aparecium** · 02-11-2011, 02:03 AM

One big happy family?

Dear readers,

As our ever lovely Nemesis has pointed out, there has been a great change in our curriculum, having long discussions of muggles and our precious Statute added in to our daily lessons. Of course, I do believe we have the newcomer Ikenna Gevrik, Special Security Liaison, to thank for that. His arrival is a bit late in my opinion, but I suppose we can't rush the Ministry, what with their busy work lives and all.

His speech at the opening feast left some scratching their heads as talk of making safe choices and of how times are changing filled our ears. While I'm sure all of us were curious to know if he was going to elaborate on such topics, I believe it to be rather suspicious that he left us with only a few general words, especially considering he is after all the Special Security Liaison. Perhaps compassion and the ability to reassure people aren't in his best skills. However, as the first Hogsmeade trip arrived, everyone was invited to the Hog's Head for a meet and greet, which those returning students from a few years back should remember of the dangers that were hidden in that very place. On the other hand, we all are finally able to find out why this man is really in our school. Are we in danger? Is he here to just be a reminder of how our security has been 'upgraded'? Is he going to be teaching a class any time soon?

As come to find out, Mr. Gevrik does indeed work at the British Ministry, claiming to be a rather high-ranking employee there; a high-ranking employee that has connections and that these connections are what got him into the school. It does not surprise me that he did not label who these connections of his are specifically, but he did give mention to the Quibbler and how he has a few friends in 'the Knight', and friends that are even in our own Hogsmeade village streets. Who are these friends? Again, we do not know. On the other hand, as his speech continued on, I'm quite sure that he had a few heads turning his way in surprise who weren't paying attention before. It seems our Security Liaison is in favor of taking down the Statute of Secrecy and letting the Muggle world see what has been hiding under their very noses. The same Statute of Secrecy that has been protecting wizard kind and all alike for centuries from the hazardous ways of the Muggle world. Need I remind people of their easily obsessive ways, greed for power, and the ever atrocious witch burnings that they've created in the past? Who is to say that is all different now and times have changed? From what I can see, this is all just one big puzzle, with rather key pieces missing and others that don't fit correctly or are completely wrong in the first place.

Until later, I end here with my own piece of advice that will fit anywhere in the puzzle. Keep your eyes and ears open, and please remember to make safe choices.

Yours very truly,

Athena

Love in the Stacks...

As a good ~~gossip finder~~ writer, it is my job to find the stories that will intrigue you, make you laugh, make you cry and blow your magical little minds! Well I was in the Library, and don’t think you now know who I am. I am Apollo and besides there are way too many others in there for you to even imagine picking me out of all of them. Anyway, this story took place in the dark, back shelves of the library. Sounds ominous does it not? Well you will just have to keep reading, right? News has been heard that a certain Hufflepuff staple and a beautifully seductive Ravenclaw had a chance meeting back there.

That’s right magical teens of both genders, Jake Upstead KISSED Neptune Bott! A lot of us have seen them together frequenting the streets of chilly Hogsmeade. It was bound to happen and who knows, perhaps the Founders placed some sort of a love charm on those dusty old bookshelves. (I doubt it honestly) *shoots confetti into air and parties* I don’t know how you all feel, but this God thinks that lessons should be cancelled and have a holiday declared for the students of Hogwarts.

I never get over this type of House Unity!

Poor Little She Snake

Recent buzz about the supposed PERFECT relationship of one little Slytherin… girl and the lovely Ravenclaw Seeker seem to be falling apart at the seams. Looks like Little Miss I Am Better Than You Are Marie Salazar has become the latest victim of Mr. James Wilkes. She should have asked me for advice. I would have told her she was being foolish. Although, it does seem the tragic little girl has very terrible luck in the love department anyway. Poor, poor dear.

Pfffft. She is about as friendly as a fire crab and wonders why things don’t work out for her… Get a clue, honey. And that is not even the worst of the situation. Mr. Wilkes seems to have been going about flirting RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FACE and she did nothing. I mean, any self respecting female would stand up for herself. Hmmm what does that say about Miss Salazar?

He was seen CLEARLY putting “the moves” on Miss Satine Farris in the library and then the epic Runes class… explosion involving he and Neptune Bott… Seriously, Marie. Are you blind? He clearly is not interested in you anymore and is trying his hardest to get away. Open those pretty little eyes and see it for yourself. He was even seen making EYES at a Gryffindor blonde in the same Runes class. The boy is a serial flirt and you think that you can tame him. Oh dear, that is tragic thinking. Hope your black heart is ready to be blackened a bit more, because James Wilkes will surely leave you looking like a fool. Moreso than you do as is. Poor dear.

Hogwartians, please keep your eyes open, there will be MUCH more to come in the near future.

Yours very insincerely,

Nemesis

Man Eating Plant Loose in Hogwarts!

Too long has it been since I have seen new saplings reaching for the moon’s light in the evening and basking in the warm sun in the daylight. Yes, dear moonchildren, there have been more whispers in the night about a certain Hogwarts Professor who has gone missing. You may have seen their brief appearance at the opening feast, but Professor Mugwort has been nowhere to be seen since then. To continue down this mysterious train of thought, Headmaster Tate has even posted a notice saying that the Professor’s office has been closed until further notice. Where has the new Herbology Professor gone?

Some sources say that the new Professor was too intimidated by the increase in security here at Hogwarts. Perhaps this theory comes from that strange plant he was last seen with. Perhaps the Ministry of Magic would not have approved of his pet? Perhaps the plant swallowed the poor Professor whole and has now been planted in the Student Garden?

Other sources say that he was knocked out while he was harvesting some young mandrakes to later be used by Professor Lafay for her potions. If this were so, he would only have been knocked out for a few hours and therefore able to return to his duties as the Herbology Professor. Perhaps there is some truth in the theory of his plant swallowing him whole? Or, is there something more sinister at work? Some have whispered that perhaps someone used a full grown mandrake’s cry on the poor unsuspecting Professor while he was cleaning some rather large pots to be used during his first lesson. Upon hearing the cry, which is fatal to human ears, the light left the professor ~~and then his plant swallowed him~~.

There is one more theory, although this doesn’t seem as likely as his plant eating him, that the Professor accidentally ingested too many Alihotsy leaves and turned hysteric beyond the point of the schools renowned Healer to fix. ~~And then his plant swallowed him~~ Upon finding the Professor in his greenhouse devouring leaf after leaf like a starving horse, he was then taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries until further notice ~~and his plant followed him there and ate him~~.

I think, dear moonchildren, the real mystery here is where has this plant gone and who is its next victim? Be wary as you walk the grounds and enjoy the coming of spring for you never know when it may be your last.

It’s all moonshine,
Artemis

Predatory Professors at Work?

Hello students of Hogwarts, we meet once again. Enjoying your lessons? I know I am, but is there a reason that we should learn to tread lightly in the classroom? Apparently so, not only is the Magical World filled with dangerous plants, animals and strangers it has come to the attention of this god that the Professors at Hogwarts are adding YOU to their lists of prey. What am I talking about you may ask, well haven’t you all noticed the signs? The displeasure and attitudes ~~when you talk out of turn in class or show up late~~, the dangerous lessons ~~whatever shall you transfigure your rubbish into?~~, and the evil glares in the halls and baring of teeth ~~Lafay~~. You all may not see it but there are some of us that do.

Two prime examples of this newly exciting game of ‘Lure the Students into our Traps’ have been played by two of Hogwarts lady Professors, Professor Saylen, code name Mexican Fire-cracker and Professor Bishop aka Battle Star Hogwarts. You all attended these lessons and didn’t even notice the warning and caution signs! First of all Care of Magical creatures started with a release/permission form (that’s not sinister at all) and then the students were all whisked away to a giant house of Muggles to be stared at ~~and chomped~~ on by the ‘dead’ dinosaurs. I didn’t buy her, “It’s just an electronic model” nonsense, I saw it’s TEETH!

And in Divination you were taken to the grounds where the new Groundskeeper, Mr. Stryker, who has been known to host ‘killer’ paint fights, resides. (That stuff could land in someone’s eye!) As I was saying, Professor Bishop took you to the Grounds and then set things on fire! Any sane student would feel the human need to back away from the flames *cough Get away from the fire Lexi Denver, Evelyn Shepard and Mia Gibbins you crazies! cough*. When she is not tempting the students to jump head first into the fire the Professor nonchalantly noms on marshmellows. Dun dun dunnn!

Watch yourselves, and keep an eye for other classroom warning signs!

Love Triangles GALORE

Dear Little Hogwartians,

It has recently been brought to my attention that yet again there seems to be some Loooooove triangles amongst our lovely Professors of Hogwarts. Aphrodite would go on about how lovely it all is and wish them all the best of luck, or perhaps spread some of her magic or whatever it is she DOES. Oh dears, I am not she, though. *evil smirk*

It would seem that the men of the Professor persuasion have all fallen for the lovely Librarian lady. Rawrr. At the opening feast Groundskeeper Stryker was seen escorting the lovely lady in and mostly following her about the entire time like a lovesick pup. Oh Madame, how you worked your magic! That is not where it ends though. Not nearly. When Mr. Stryker and Madame Donovan were seen at the Tea Party together, Professor Saylen stormed off in quite a huff. Clearly she was heartbroken. Our resident Care of Magical Creatures chica, that is. Has anyone else become worried about Professor Saylen’s obvious addiction to tortillas and guacamole? What IS guacamole, anyway? How does she get this gross looking green substance here? I NEED TO KNOW. The less than pleasant woman seemed to show emotion that day. There is a first time for everything I suppose.

Ohhh but the plot thickens. Indeed it does. Madame Donovan seems to have dropped the Groundskeeper and moved onto the hottie Muggle Studies man. Great choice really! I bet the Groundskeeper was always dirty and gross anyway. One has to wonder how Mr. Stryker is taking this all, though. I bet Professor Saylen worked some sort of evil magic on the man… because he escorted her and her class to a museum recently. I tell you, there is something off about that Saylen woman.

Not that I care about love or any of those ridiculous human emotions… I want to see if any fireworks occur. I will be watching you lot. Be careful.

Yours very insincerely,

Nemesis

Thanks for the owl, Jessica

And as ALWAYS no offence is meant. We are only as accurate as our sources.

**Aparecium** · 03-04-2011, 04:48 PM

Flying Under the Radar?

As my dear brother has revealed to you all, dear moonchildren, there is much more sinister work afoot at Hogwarts. My dear brother has already shown his light on the predatory nature of three of our beloved Professors, there is another that has gone unnoticed. Another who has tried to escape the pale yet watchful glow of the moon.

I am sure you all remember the events of the opening feast. How Mr. Gevrik sat in a certain Flying Professor’s seat and how a certain Flying professor acted like an immature teenage boy who even suggested that the new Head of Security had crushed his head with a bludger. Yes, dear moonchildren, I am sure that many of you suspected that we would have a wizarding duel on our hands. Yet, the Headmaster stepped in and was able to quell a certain Flying professor’s boiling blood…for the moment.

It is clear that this certain Flying Professor has been on crabbier than a crab all term and wound tighter than a ten day clock. During his first lesson of the term alone he took 5 points from Hufflepuff for “rudely shoving a broom into his hand,” 15 points from Slytherin for “breaking the rule about First Years not being allowed their own brooms, ignoring him, and for rude responses, and ten points from Gryffindor for performing Scourgify during his lesson. However, a Miss Cassandra Prewett was also spotted performing the same spell, yet no points were taken from Slytherin house. Clearly, this shows that this certain Flying Professor has been staring at the moon for so long that he has become moonblinked. Perhaps the Headmaster should be keeping a closer watch on his Deputy Headmaster?

Although, dear moonchildren, you have all been tricked into doing his bidding. Do you not find it odd that for a Flying lesson none of you mounted your brooms? Is it not his job to service ramshackled brooms? Yet, there you all were inside a cramp broom shed performing his chores without a second thought! You are all doing it now in the Herbology greenhouses as well ~~where the man eating plant is probably hiding~~!

But now, dear moonchildren, we come to the real mystery. Despite all his outburst and seemingly inability to do things himself, he has been given another post. The post of also being the Deputy Herbology Professor. Last time I spoke with you, dear moonchildren, I suggested that perhaps the former Herbology Professor may have been escorted to St. Hungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries ~~and then eaten by his plant~~, but seeing the recent developments with Professor Ticking Time Bomb, it has come to this goddess’ attention that the plant and this man were working together. There really is no other explanation.

As my brother has already wisely said, keep your eyes out for the signs, dear moonchildren.

It’s all moonshine,
Artemis

**Aparecium** · 03-10-2011, 02:49 PM

Well, well, well. It seems that our formers Gods and Goddesses were a bit naughty and I, being the mother Goddess, have punished them all and brought you lot a new group. Yes, yes I know you are all disappointed at their loss, but I needed to control the little beings.

Now, I am the mother Goddess, as I said, but that does not mean that you all are safe from my pen, though. I will be watching and writing what I see, exactly how I see it, or exactly how it is sent to me. With that being said, we do not mean you any harm in writing, loves. This is purely for our entertainment, but beware... we will find your secrets and reveal them if need be. *giggles*

~ Hera

How did this magical parchment land into your hands? Well someone must have delivered it. Being the Messanger god and the god of theives I suspect I may have stopped by your little castle and hidden them around a few places. But now that you have found them you will get to see a little bit of what we see and maybe you will think twice before you do things when 'no one is around'. Seeing all that goes down, we are NOT afraid to share it with the general public and we actually find it quite entertaining.

But as soon as we write our intriguing stories about YOU, I will run them on over to you so don't fret, I, got your backs!

Did those sandles have wings on them...
-Hermes

The world may be like the ocean as it is made up of tiny drops of water, but life is like the ocean currents. If you know not how to navigate, you're as good as lost as you are swept away in an endless sea of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. While you, dear readers, may all be little drops of water in the ocean that is Hogwarts, I am here to make sure you find your way though this ocean by riding the waves of truth so that you may find new oceans. So come down to the lake and whisper your secrets into the waters for merpeople and my dear Giant Squid are not the only ones who will hear your mischievous chatter.

Remember, you cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, so why don’t you come and take this nymph’s hand for every source flows into the sea.

-Thoosa

While others before have given such thought into bringing everyone the truth that has been concealed from your very eyes and ears as well as the events that go down in the very halls of your educational domain, it only stands to say that I am no different from them and will be continuing their righteous quest of helping you bright students for the greater good. As you believe you are free from the curious stares of those who write the truth, let me tell you that you are sorely mistaken in the fact that my friends and I are not blind, nor are we deaf. In fact, that would be more of an insult than anything.

It is true, I am a goddess of wisdom, but don’t let that scare you off into trying to hide even more; I do have a rather cunning nature I'm known for as well and will enjoy bringing out if necessary. I will find what lays hidden in the shadows, and rest assured, I will bring it towards the light for all to see.

Until we meet again,

Metis

Aparecium is PURELY IN CHARACTER. There is no need for hurt feelings, people. It is for fun. If your character is spoken about here it is not a personal attack on you, the RPer. NOW, enjoy.

Reap What You Sew

At first, I thought that Artemis had swallowed too much sea water. Man eating plants lose at Hogwarts? Honestly? However, due to the recent developments of one of Professor Vindictus’ less than humane Herbology lesson, I have come to full agree with the fallen goddess. Not only do I agree, I believe that we now know the identity of this man eating plant: a Snargaluff stump.

If you didn’t hear the comment he made to a Miss Kurumi Hollingberry, then you all need to come up for some air. He is quoted telling the young Gryffindor that the Snargaluff stump can not only swallow people whole, but it enjoys chewing humans up so that it can savor the flavor. Clearly, while the Flying turned Herbology Professor is a perfectionist when it comes to his precious Quidditch pitch, he is demented when it comes to plants.

What caused this transformation? Well, upon some research and analyzing the previous god’s and goddess’ work, there is one obvious conclusion: Professor Hecate Lafay. She was seen behind the broomshed before the start of this Herbology lesson. What was she doing there? Well, clearly she wasn’t looking for a golden snitch. It is this nymph’s conclusion that the Potion’s Mistress was having a secret rendezvous with Professor Vindictus and it was not to ask permission to extract fluids and leave from the plant in the greenhouses for her potions cabinet. No, all signs are pointing to her being the master of conspiracy in the disappearance of the original Herbology Professor and for the frenzied transformation of the Flying Professor.

Now it became clear that the note she passed to the innocent Mr. Sabel Darkest were instructions about how to draw the Herbology Professor to the greenhouses with some sort of intelligent question about plants, when what was really happening was an elaborate set up. Perhaps the former Herbology professor refused to allow Lafay free range of his greenhouses as she was so used to having previous terms due to her relationship with Professor Sage A. Dodson? Clearly, she is using her mysterious and dark charm on Professor Vindictus for her own personal benefit.

Be wary, dear Professor as well as all of you, she was not appointed the head she-snake simply because she likes the color green.

-Thoosa

**Aparecium** · 03-17-2011, 04:59 PM

The Dragon Strikes Again?

I am sure by now, you are all aware of the fact that there could be a possibility of some man eating plant running about on the castle grounds. However, recent events reported from our lovely Thoosa have shown that perhaps there is not a man eating plant behind the missing Herbology Professor, but one Potions Mistress, Professor Lafay. While we can all be relieved in knowing that we don't have to peek around every corner for fear of a plant eating us, don't get your hopes up yet for a peaceful rest of the year.

As the first Astronomy class finally came around, many of the students who took the intriguing lesson were both pleasantly surprised and horrified that it was not Professor Antares awaiting the student's arrival, but one Professor Hadley. For those who don't take the subject Professor Hadley teaches, she is the Professor who teaches the Arithmancy lessons.

Could this only mean that Professor Lafay had struck again? Or has the Astronomy Professor been hit with a bad case of dragon pox? Or worse…been eaten by a man eating plant? It is unclear if whether or not Lafay holds a grudge over Professor Antares from the past years, or even if she's just helping a dear friend acquire the dream job she always wanted, but I can tell you this…cleaning old telescopes is not my ideal Astronomy lesson. Perhaps Professor Hadley needs a few tips and pointers to help her gain a bit more favor from the students in her new teaching position.

With the end of the year closing in, please do not worry too much about being eaten by plant, and please don’t be too skeptical and cautious around Professor Lafay. She might suspect you know something and pull you in for questioning. Though, who knows if you'll ever come out.

Until we meet again,

Metis

As ALWAYS no offense meant.

Off to See the Walrus…

It has come to my attention that perhaps I should be a bit concerned about the inhabitants of Hogwarts that seem to have been swept away to go attend a CELEBRATION for ~~FAKE~~ Lord Borr. How were these children decided upon? Were they submitted to human testing? Are they guinea pigs of some sort? Are they being tested now on how much bodily gas small teenage witches and wizards can stand before imminent death? I NEED ANSWERS!

The lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it, little things were ushered off with a few select Professors and Headmaster Tate in Ministry FLYING Limousines. How very posh. My motherly goddess instincts tell me there is something wonky going on here, though. Most, or all, of the people in attendance have had either FAB things to say about a certain Ministry Security Liaison, or have butted heads with him, one. See the fishiness of the situation?

And after what my dears, Thoosa and Metis, have said about the lovely ~~and apparently dangerous~~ Professors of this renowned school I have come to wonder if the children shall return at all. Has this been an elaborate rouse to rid the school of some of its inhabitants?

Stay tuned for more on this enthralling subject once they all return. Or not.

Keep your eyes and ears open loves,
~Hera

**Aparecium** · 03-20-2011, 12:28 AM

Quidditch Conspiracy?

Ok, so I may be a flying messenger god but with my small frame there is no way you will ever catch me out there on a broom zooming around with angry ~~steroid-using~~, hormone raging, chemically imbalanced kids who have gone off the deep end to be ‘in the game’ no matter what house they are in. As if the game wasn’t dangerous enough; Is it possible someone has been tampering with the equipment?

The rise in injuries and close calls in the matches has risen even for Hogwarts standards. Like the Evelyn Shepard/quaffle to the head incident or the Jimmy Wilkes flying into the stands debacle...OR the collision of Slytherin Keeper Sierra Greingoth and Evelyn Shepard yet again.. But who would do such a thing, and what would be their motives? Are they out to get the She-Snake or just using the sport as an excuse to get rid of another group of students? *cough Borr’s Party is an excuse to for human sacrifice most likely to feed the large man cough*

There are many suspects and all of them have HIGHLY believable circumstances that would lead me and my godly cohorts to believe they are behind this. The first and most obvious would be Professor Lafay. The dragon-lady gets blamed for a lot of things recently but hey let’s face it, she is scary! Not to mention the fact that my friend Thoosa reported on the ‘special trip’ the Potions Mistress made to the broom shed not too long ago. All I’m saying is she didn’t just conjure up that Beater’s bat she has been helicopter-ing over her head at the matches.

Another likely culprit would be the Quidditch official and flying professor, Mr. Vindictus. He doesn’t even need to break into the broom shed. But what would be in it for him? Yes he would be out of a job officiating matches but he wouldn’t have to worry about students messing up his perfectly manicured pitch or having to repair student-used school brooms. He is definitely worth keeping an eye on.

And last but certainly not least, the oh-so-innocent School Healer Madame Moretti. What nurse likes to sit in an EMPTY Hospital wing? She obviously needed the business so it isn’t hard to imagine her breaking into the Broom shed and tampering with the brooms and quidditch chest. It must get mighty boring in there for someone to risk the lives of children.
So this warning goes out to all of you, especially those who for-some-reason risk your lives for a game: WATCH WHERE YOU’RE FLYING!

You Cannot Brew Love

During Hogwart’s most recent potion’s class, Professor Lafay offered a discussion on poisons. While not the most charming of subjects, this goddess was able to dive into the deep end of love’s sting. Not only did the Potions Mistress enlighten young minds about poisons, as well as admit to testing them on herself which probably explains a lot, she also called out a Miss Evelyn Shepard for using a love potion on a Mr. Joshua Carter.

While Shepard denied these claims, rather pathetically as this goddess would like to point out, I think this would explain his overly bizarre behavior this term. Carter has been much more vocal and getting himself into even more trouble this term and even earned himself a detention that is rumored to have been a very sticky situation. Isn’t it clear that all this anger and pent up frustration is coming from his struggling to fight off the effects of a love potion!?

One may wonder, just how did she get her hands on this love potion? Well, I think this answer is crystal clear as the tropical sea. It is no secret that Shepard is close with Professor Lafay, so perhaps the Potions Mistress simply handed her the potion, or even taught the young witch how to brew it herself. However, the Potions Mistress does not do charity work, which begs the question: just what is she getting in return?

If you will recall from memory, dear readers, the events of my last report when I attempted wash away the mystery revolving Professor Lafay and her not-so-conspicuous trip to the broom shed. I believe it would be fair to say that Carter and Professor Vinditcus’ behaviors are similar, which means that our poor Flying-turned-Herbology Professor is also under the influence of a love potion being administered to him by nonother than the Head She-Snake herself. Snargaluff pods, which we all know come from the very dangerous Snargaluff, are rumored to be an ingredient in Love Potions for that extra bite needed to keep the potion potent for an extended amount of time. Since Professor Vindictus seems to be on good terms with this plant, and Professor Lafay craving free-range of the greenhouses, she is using his own plants against him! I don’t believe this is what he signed up for when he took a job here at Hogwarts.

But, it doesn’t seem that she-snakes are the only ones using love potions these days. A Miss Lexi Denver had sprouted a new relationship with a Mr. Stradivarius Schermerhorn S.A. Salander, who will be referred to as Salander for the remainder of this article. The two have taken up the slogan: “We’re together; like it or not,” which raises the question as to who exactly this you is referring to. There certainly has been a lot of gossip about these two and their relationship, and not all of these juicy tidbits are good, mind you. However, perhaps the one who is most against the relationship is not a third party member, but the poor innocent he-snake that has been caught in the lioness’ dangerous claws?

Yes, love potions seem like an easy means to a happy ending. But, we all know of a famous and terrible wizard that was born as a result of this dark drink…and THAT certainly did not have a fairy tale ending…
