Dungeons Ablaze!
Yeah that title says it all, doesn’t it dears? Very recently the Potions storeroom caught fire in what is being called a MYSTERIOUS incident. I am not so sure there is anything mysterious about it myself. I have a FEW theories that I would like you lot to marinate on.
1. Lafay, the dragon lady, set the storeroom on fire and then escaped through the Vanishing Cabinet in the dungeon. Yes, that’s right. There was, at one point, one of the pair of Vanishing Cabinets in the dank, dingy place.
2. Perhaps the resident Gryffindor psycho, Josh Carter, started the fire because Lafay would not return his love. It makes sense to me, the mother Goddess. He has been seen and heard professing his undying love and devotion to her. Not to mention, he is as unstable as an Erumpent horn being used for target practice.
3. It was an accident. This is, in my humble opinion, the least likely scenario. If someone had done it accidentally then they would have surely stepped forward by now.
4. And lastly- Perhaps it was Evelyn Flores, the girlfriend (?) to Josh Carter. A woman scorned? Makes sense doesn’t it? Yes of course it does- I said it.
Whatever the cause was, the fire was a raging inferno that injured several students. From what I have been told and what I witnessed for myself, the students that were hurt should not have been attempting to take out the fire seeing as they were young and unskilled. What first year could possibly perform the magic required to take down a fire as such? None, that’s how many.
I say this to you all, PLEASE be safe this term. It seems that perhaps things with the beloved Hogwarts staff are becoming more serious. What with all of the injured students over the past two terms now. It will be a miracle if we all make it out alive.
Stay safe, keeps your eyes and ears open and we will be bringing more news soon.
