Professor Hooch is going to be the new Head of Gryffindor.
The Slytherin Common Room is going to swap places with the Ravenclaw Common Room, and the Ravenclaw colours will be changing to green and silver, and the Slytherin colours will be changing to blue and bronze. I don't quite believe that one, myself.
Sirius Black is alive, and he was last seen trying to buy a dinner of fish and chips in Manchester. The innkeeper screeched when he recognised his face from the wanted poster, and then when they tried to seize him, Sirius Black sprang into a portrait of King Arthur with the Knights of the Round Table that was hanging on the wall and he mounted the horses of one of the Knights and galloped away, disappearing out of the frame. Which would be quite a neat trick, really, if it's true. I have been told I must not talk about this. Perhaps the method of escape is a secret that the Ministry does not want to get out. Anyway, I am sorry for talking about paintings. Or people who might appear in them.
Under the 'News' category:
A Brindled Crowleree was spotted in Surrey. This is quite exciting, because there haven't been any reports of them in probably at least fifty years or so.
THERE ARE NO RUMOURS. THERE IS NO NEWS. I AM SORRY.

The rest, I can assure you, is merely rubbish.

Possibly Professor Brutka, since he's not affiliated with any particular House.

What's a crowleree meant to be? Some kind of cow? Or a bird?
And d'you mean someone saw it or snuck up on it and painted it in spots?

Well not just here here, in Luna's pages, but in the journals altogether.

Get rid of it. Now.
There's a good girl.

Mum, you have to do something. Floo her or apparate to her house, or something, but get that bloody journal entry erased.

Re: Order Only
Was it difficult to convince her?
Re: Order Only
Oooh, how I wish I could HEX that monster!

Re: Order Only
Bill, I'll get back to you later. Luna has...well, she's quite fallen apart. I'm going to turn my attention to her now.
I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Now they're saying he was a traitor?
Maybe he's actually alive and in Azkaban. It sounds like that's what she's saying. Does it sound that way to anyone else?
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
It was Mum who went to the Browns and made Luna change what she wrote. And Mum's been really odd about it. Read us all the riot about what we say where Mrs Lestrange can see it. But she wouldn't answer any questions about Mr Lovegood.
I mean, I don't believe for a minute that Luna's a halfblood. That was so queer when it happened, it just. It didn't feel true. And I know Mum and Dad don't believe it. And they should know. I mean, they knew Mr Lovegood as well as anyone probably. But they're not telling us kids anything.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Hydra left me a message I didn't see until later, she wanted me to write a private message to Luna telling her exactly what she needed to cross out because she was afraid of what would happen if Luna made her mum any angrier. Hydra couldn't do it herself because her mum would see and make her show her what she'd written, but she could write to me, and she thought I could write to Luna.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
That's
I'm glad we've got private messages now. But that's just-- And like you said, Mrs Lestrange can see who you're writing to and privating it or whatever, so it's just
complicated.
This spell's so much better. It's too bad we couldn't give something like it to Hydra if she's going against her mum. And Luna.
Actually, I kind of wish we could let Luna in. I feel bad for her. It'd be like for Terry Boot: he can talk to us, and if he needs help we can figure out something to do.
But Luna's not like Terry. I don't mean about being a muggleborn. It's just that Luna's
unpredictable. I don't think she'd say anything about us if we did let her in, but
it's hard to know with Luna. She doesn't see things the way other people do. And sometimes she just does loopy stuff. And anywiz, now the Aurors are watching her. Or maybe they were all along and that's why Mrs Lestrange read what she wrote, y'know? Like she's specially looking into what Luna does and says.
I dunno.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
I do think that if she knew about this lock she would never tell a soul, ever, no matter what, I mean even if she were cruciated I think she'd never breathe a word.
But she's not very good at lying and misdirecting. The risk with Luna is that the wrong person would KNOW she was hiding SOMETHING.
Hydra --
Last year she believed that muggleborns were born when a human and a PIG had a baby, do you remember her asking Hermione about that? It's what her mother told her. Only an IDIOT could believe something that stupid, and Hydra isn't an idiot -- I think she believed it because she's so afraid to question her mum in any way.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Not sure if she's saying that he's still alive. But it doesn't sound like she thinks it was the epidemic that killed him. Unless she honestly thinks that people who are, er, traitorous caught the disease and loyal people didn't.
I don't think she's thick enough to believe something like that, somehow.
