Rumours and News

Under the 'Rumour' category:

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.

Order Only

Merlin. This is as close as she or anyone else has come to admitting that Xenophilius Lovegood didn't die in that bloody epidemic. They had him killed.

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

I'm on it.

Thank goodness. Hope that will get Lestrange off her back now.

Was it difficult to convince her?

Convince her? There wasn't bloody time for that! I Flooed over to the Brown's, marched in, seized her journal from her, scratched out the entire entry and wrote that message across the bottom myself. (The Browns themselves were out; it was just Luna there. Fortunately.)

Oooh, how I wish I could HEX that monster!

Re: Order Only

[alt_bill]

Well, that's a drastic solution, certainly, but it was probably the best one.

Oh, dear.

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.
