No one would be surprised if we reported that a Gryffindor had managed to get himself into a spot of trouble already this term – it’s built into their magical DNA, after all. Add a little Slytherin ingenuity, and we can only imagine the epic heights that spot of trouble can reach. So while we aren’t surprised at all to report that Gryffindor fourth year Zeke Browne and Slytherin fourth year Magdelena Traulton have received the first detention of the term, we’re disappointed that the what and why remain shrouded in mystery.

While common wisdom suggests that the detention could be for something as simple as a mistimed broom cupboard snog, knowing the parties involved leads us to believe something more interesting is afoot. Has the angel-faced Slytherin dragged her Gryffindor crony into a misbegotten stab at the black market candy trade? Or maybe the lion cub convinced the snakelet that jumping off the Astronomy Tower was all in good fun? Whatever the misdeed, their loud parting of the ways on the seventh floor seems to suggest that their adventures are over… for now.
