The Wizarding Times
Rumours From the Roost
Life in the Roost has been nothing short of busy recently with the arrival of all the new eaglets and now, with the new term starting everyone has become even more hectic, signing up for new classes and undertaking more activities. The staff have certainly been feeling the pressure with the intake of new students and as such have eagerly recruited Charles Pendragon as the latest addition to the Ravenclaw Professors. On top of this, two outstanding eagles, Miss Sandra Bloomwicks and Niniel Sanders have been, er, how shall I put it… coerced, into joining those in the rank of Reserve Prefect. Their assistance in the handling of the Prefects' laundry will, I am sure, be greatly appreciated.
As usual, Prof. Ulol Kimil has been providing more than his share of the Ravenclaw gossip. It is currently rumoured that he has hired an apprentice to learn his evil ways much to the despair of the other students who are having a hard enough time rescuing the poor new eagles being offered his incredibly potent Dark Mark cookies! However, First Year Gypsy Ardor has made some even more interesting claims:
"Ulol has been known to don a bear suit. I know this for a fact, as I've seen him in it."
Unfortunately (yet not all that surprisingly) Professor Kimil was unavailable for comment regarding this matter. However, photographic evidence is on its way as I speak so watch this space.
In other news, the number of missing brains in Ravenclaw seems to be increasing at a worrying rate. So far, Head of House Rhiannon Llewellyn, Cassandra Lobiesk and myself have all lost our brains in mysterious circumstances. It has also been reported that further brains have disappeared, although the victims currently remain unnamed. A request has been made for a special squad to be formed in order to investigate these disturbing incidents further to prevent the spreading of the problem to other houses!
Asides from this, life in the Ravenclaw Common Room, whilst hectic, has not been too eventful. Proceedings that the other houses should continue to ignore include our plans to take over #hpgalleries on IRC. This task is gradually realising success with the number of eagles making their way online continuously increasing. Total domination currently estimated to be reached by January 2008.
Lastly, another Ravenclaw student has finally admitted his addition to the colour pink. During a recent outburst on IRC, Severus McGonagall was heard to shout "I WEAR PINK SOCKS". The Pinkaholics anonymous society has rejoiced in finally reaching its initial goal of gaining two members!
As much as it grieves me to admit it, I believe that is the end of the current gossip from the Roost. However, with the new term ahead and a large number of new faces, I am sure there will be plenty more scandals in the not too distant future!
