Then is it too awful that you make you charrie know it too? Like assume that she heard it via gossip? We, after all are trying to make this realistic as we can, so gossip could take a place in this, yes?

I think it really depends. Sometimes people make it clear in their posts that there is nobody else around, or that they used a muffling/silencing spell or something. I think the best thing to do is ALWAYS to ask the RPers in question.

Basically, if there wasn't anyone around to hear it, it couldn't be gossiped about, could it?

Some RPers have been known to pop their charrie in the general vicinity of things especially to overhear, so that is another avenue.

edit: as for the staff table thing. lol. sure could have heard about it, there were plenty who did overhear it, but if your charrie wasn't at the staff table they might have seen, but not heard. Otherwise they'd have to find out what happened (imperfectly lol) from someone who was there to listen in.
