How do you get a hold of this magical gossip parchment IC? Well that is entirely up to you and be creative with it! Maybe it's under the Giant Squids tongue or clinging onto one of the many Hogwarts statues.

Exaggerations may be made on this parchment, but do not take these to heart, this is just for fun. Promise. If you are still unsure of what this is, think of it as a Merlin's beard for more personal plotlines, whereas Merlin's beard is dedicated to the school-wide plot. Hope you all read and enjoy!

Being the God of war, civil order, and battlelust, to name a few, I do like a good fight. It is my intention to cause a few with these articles. Do not worry if you have nothing to hide, students of Hogwarts, for I shall only be revealing truth to the masses. Truth in its ugliest form; Raw. Myself and Iris will be lurking around every corner, hiding in the shadows, or standing right beside you. People of Hogwarts, you have no idea what you have gotten yourselves into. Have fun, but know; We are ALWAYS watching.

Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow and I have come to Hogwarts to sing that rainbow to all of you! I am Iris, goddess of the rainbow, a goddess of sea and sky, and the messenger of the Olympians. Just as my lovely rainbow creates a spectrum in the sky, so do all of you have lovely hues. Your hues tell a story, a story this goddess is eager to expose. Your dark hues, the times where it feels as though it is raining on your parade, become my strength for without the rain, there would be no rainbow.

Ares says that I am too nosy for my own good, but I say that I am simply eager to share everyone's true colors and secrets. We live in a rainbow of chaos, and it is in chaos where mistakes are made and disguises falter. Your school colors may be red, yellow, green, and blue, but our each of you is a spectrum of paints waiting for me to dip my paintbrush into and splatter the walls with your secrets! Tehehe!

With love,
Iris♥

Dear Readers,

It has now come to my attention that perhaps there is a "secret" romance brewing between two of our esteemed professors. OH THE SCANDAL! There have been whispers through the corridors that none other than Professors Roslund and Hadley are taking drastic measures to be sure no one discovers this, either.

Oh. Oops. I suppose the kneazle's out of the bag now, isn't it?

Earlier in the term these two professors tag teamed a couple of students for being "too close" to another in the library. Lamest excuse for a detention ever! Little did they know, someone spotted the two of them holding hands moments before the detentions were given.

Reports have also been made that the Astronomy professor seems to be a bit of a "player" as well. Apparently while on the Hogwarts Express he conveniently injured himself and sought out none other than our resident Charmer to do the healing. Coincidence? We think not.

Stay tuned for me on this budding romance and other scandals from the halls of Hogwarts.

Darlings,

While I adore all colors, there is one that I find that no matter how hard I try I simply cannot embrace it in its entirety. That color is black, especially in the form of black mail. You may gasp and run around screaming at the mere thought of it, but have you stopped to see the signs?

Have you noticed how a certain snake skips to EVERY lesson? Why is she so cheerful? CLEARLY, this snake has ulterior motives. Do you all recall a certain incident in Charms class where your professor was delivered a so-called anonymous letter? Do you happen to recall just WHO it was who delivered that letter? Yes, Selena Zabini-Riddle passed the paper that then turned your Charms professor bright red and is VERY suspicious, especially considering that she refused to say who it was who wrote it.

Why is that? Because SHE wrote it herself!

But...WHY?

Perhaps Zabini-Riddle hoped that she could use this as a stepping stone towards world domination? Perhaps it was to divide loyalties among the school staff? Or...perhaps Zabini-Riddle knows something about our dear Charms professor that others do not. Some sort of deep dark secret that the woman doesn't want brought to light and Zabini-Riddle is sending her a message. Those snakes are cunning and slithery beings who will do anything to get back on top. Taking advantage of a professor certainly seems like fair game in this dark quest!

I have seen your TRUE colors Selina Zabini-Riddle!

Good day Hogwarts, let me introduce myself: I'm Hermes, son of Zeus and the Pleiade, Maia. I share the role of the God of the herald, or messenger, of the gods to humans with Iris. Zeus also hireg me as his personal agent and herald. Don't be shy to tell me your secrects because this messenger God is eager to share them with the rest of Hogwarts.

I am also known for my cunning wiles and skill at persuasion. So beware, people of Hogwarts, when I fasten on my ankle-wings and put on my magic cap there's nothing to stop me.

Darlings,

While the leaves change their colors as the seasons pass, it is only natural that yours do as well. However, there has been far too much brown these days, especially on the noses of some of your fellow students.

We all know that Hufflepuffs are loyal and hard working, but the badgers are threatening to put the house elves out of work. With the kitchens reopened to students, it is only normal for there to be eager students in there...but professor's offices? Classrooms? EVERYWHERE on campus? It seems as though someone ought to give these overly eager Puffs some socks and remind them that they are free.

On the other hand, perhaps they should all be given aprons to help them in this quest to become maids? I do believe that the Great Hall and some corners of the library could use dusting a bit more frequently.

Then again, it could also be about time that the only things Hufflepuffs need to clean are their noses?

Take advantage of their loyal badger hospitality while you can my darling Hogwartians! I know my best dancing shoes could use a good shine.

I have seen your TRUE colors House of Hufflepuff!

Dear Readers,

It has come to my attention that our house... "authority" is a bit lame to say the least. And by house "AUTHORITY" I mean our pitiful prefects.

The badge has been reduced to nothing more than a symbol of power for the individual to use however they see fit. Some chose to weild this to help them impress girls while others wave it in front of others to show that they are better than everyone else.

It's despicable is what it is, Iris. A badge does not make one better than someone else. Not one bit. The prefects should be focusing on helping underclassmen, new students, and the like. And really isn't that badge supposed to mean they are people to be looked up to? PFFFFFFFT.

Just as with a rainbow, dear Ares, there is a wide spectrum of colors and colorful personalities that are selected for the position. I dare say that there are more than a few dull colors this term that I would most certainly never select to help paint my rainbows. However, we are forgetting one more part of this equation. Some of our captains are a bit lackluster as well. Shouldnot those with badges wear their house colors the brightest? I've seen puddles of water with more shine.

Too true, dearest Iris. Too true. It has come to my notice that the Ravenclaw prefect, Eino, seems to be more obsessed with some hunt for Pogrebins than he is with Prefect duties. What sense does that make? Furthermore, should a clearly mentally disturbed boy lead his house?

Not to mention that on more than one occasion he hasn't been able to find his way out of the classroom and instead has run into walls and closets. How can someone lead an entire house when they cannot even find a proper exit?

So sad... so very, very sad.

How about that one that thinks she is descended from House Elves? What a weirdo that one is. Although, at least she can be seen trying to HELP others as opposed to pretending they don't exist outside of the quidditch pitch like a certain blue clad captain. You know... the one with the red hair. I think it's fake, by the way. The hair that is.

Ah yes, you mean that Hollingberry girl who spends more time in the kitchens than her own common room. I also believe that the captain you are referring to and a certain Head Boy are more concerned with each other's well being than anything else. Obsession is never a good thing, my darlings. Do keep that in mind.

Yes. Obsession. That sums those two up quite nicely, I think. How can their friends let them carry on like that? It is sick to see two people acting as they do. Lovestruck teenagers fawning over one another. Not healthy at all.

Touche, Ares. TOUCHE. Speaking of obsessions. The new Gryffindor prefect seems to be more concerned with flashing his badge for the ladies than he is in performing his duties. Why, he has been spotted flirting with at least 6 different girls this term and is quite the meddler when it comes to relationships. Someone as obsessed with skirt chasing as that lion, well, I would be concerned. Red is the color of passion after all.

If red is the color of passion then perhaps green is the color of insanity, my dear Iris. I do believe the new Slytherin Quidditch Captain is indeed bonkers, you see. She is rarely seen anywhere which leads me to believe she may be a hermit of sorts. You know the sort; hides in dark places and sometimes eats their own hair. Yep. Certifiable this one is.

I do believe that you are on to something there, Ares. Their prefects are a piece of work as well, especially that female one. Did you know that she believes the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain to be an alien? And I don't think I need to remind you about what happened in Charms class. But, what can you expected when they have a Head of House who clearly selects its leaders based on their level
of insanity?

I do believe that you are onto something there, as well. When your Head of House is clearly insane what can be expected of the student leaders? I think this stands to reason with Professor "I think I am a pirate ARGGGH" Vindictus as well. Well... perhaps it is the case through all of the houses.

If the leaders are not chosen based on levels of sanity or lack thereof then I would wager that they are chosen merely on the basis that they are rude, ridiculous, impatient people. Much like the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and her Ravenclaw counterpart. Yep, she gets mentions twice. Guess what, guys: Quidditch does NOT make the world turn.

Of course, we cannot overlook those Badgers either. Why, they certainly are a sneaky bunch this term. While their house claims loyality and trust, they must also be a house that promotes rudeness. Why, their own Head of House gave away a gift of chocolates she had been given to her own students WITHOUT trying them herself! Very selfish indeed. No wonder her Head Boy is too.

Selfish you mean? Or rude? He was seen IGNORING blatant disrespect from one student to another recently. One was a new student and one was a "friend" of his... how is that for Prefecting? Huh? Ignoring spats between students merely because you feel you have some sort of LOYALTY to one over the other. THat is not the way being a leader works, Mister Lockhart. Not at all. And what about that female
prefect of theirs? I hear she spits in people's drinks.

No, it certainly is not. You cannot pick and choose in that position. People are not like socks in one's sock drawer. Which, by the way, I hear that the Slytherin male prefect is a sort of a horder and hides things in his sock drawer. Why, I wager that he bribed that one Slytherin boy to go and steal ducks from the pond so that they could be added to his collection.

Ducks? Was he planning to put socks on them you think? This is just further proof that the leadership at this school has gone 'round the twist, my dear, sweet Iris. 'Round the twist I say.

'Round the twist and to the dogs as it were.

And how out of the BLUE was it with the selection of Head Girl? Where did their previous female prefect vanish to? Perhaps our little miss Vashti isn't as innocent as we all think she is. That girl CAN see thestrals you know.

Well I am wondering to what end would she have made the previous prefect disappear... it's not like SHE was ever around to begin with. Perhaps the previous Prefect, the Slytherin QC, and the Hufflepuff QC are all holed up in some hobbit hole somewhere. You know, some hobbit hole OTHER THAN the Hufflepuff common room.

Oh dear. That must be a rather messy place to take up residence. I can already smell the odor from here. Whatever is the school to do, Ares?

Give up all hope? Run screaming for the forest? Take order into our hands? Ask for some Godly intervention?

Whatever course you Hogwartians choose to take, be sure that you follow someone who at least knows the way.
We have seen your TRUE colors, Prefects and Captains!

Yes, the color most prominent, dearest, sweetest Iris, is indeed BROWN. Brown like the noses of those aforementioned Huffies and brown like the drab souls of those in leadership this term and terms to follow in some cases.

Keep your eyes open dear Hogwartians, we are here for YOU! We give you the scoop as we get it here.

Good Day My Dearest Readers,

Earlier this term, Ares mentioned about a "secret" romance brewing between the Astronomy Professor and the Arithmancy Professor. It seem that a "secret" romance is also brewing between the COMC Professor and the healer.

The two Professor were spotted dancing in the three broomstick during the Hogsmeade visit in a very cozy position, if I may add. Reports also said that our dearest Healer Tillstorm is not only has her eyes on Professor Williamson but also to Hogwarts newest Ancient Runes Professor, Oliver Jenkins, as well. Oh My!

Well. Well. Well. It seem that the Astronomy Professor is not the only “player” in Hogwarts this term.

Stay tuned with us for more on this “secret” romance.

Hermes.

Dearest Readers and Inhabitants of Hogwarts,

Once upon a time there was an evil monster that lived within the walls of this wonderful Wizarding school. With eyes that could kill or seriously injure, it was slimy, slithery and altogether unpleasant.

…

Who was talking about basilisks? I was referring to the NEW green eyed monster, one who THINKS she can kill or maim with but a look. This monster is of course none other than the GREEN EYED MONSTER of jealousy. It is nearly as dangerous when it takes over idiot girls and boys with wands.

Most recently it seems that none other than the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain, Ellie Stone, has been taken over. She was seen bullying Gryffindor Prefect, Kurumi Hollingberry, in the Great Hall. The heartless girl seemed to show no remorse for her actions, either. Poor Prefect Hollingberry is rumored to be going through a rather rough time in her life and my sources tell me that Ellie Stone cares not. She was even seen laughing at the girl’s poor luck. Shame on you, Captain Stone, shame on you!

Stay tuned for more news on this rage monster incident; I am sure our readers will indeed keep us posted.

**Aparecium** · 04-06-2012, 05:29 PM

Oh Hogwartians!

Yet another term has coming crashing to a halt. Some may be happy to go and others may be crying into their treacle during the feast. How ridiculous! Those who are leaving for good should rejoice, not cling to some silly school. Preparations for the REAL WORLD should have already begun, if they haven't I pity you. Pity.

Let's see what this year brought, shall we?

1. Yet more teenage angst and jealousy. (as usual)
2. Injuries caused by recklessness. (as usual)
3. Professors being weird (as usual).
4. Something "mysterious" showing up causing people to do weird things... do I even need to say that this is typical?
5. And more gossip than one could shake a stick at.

Perhaps next term everyone should strive to be less fickle? A little more normal? Stay away from things that seem odd?

Oh who am I kidding?! Keep doing stupid things so I can continue to write about you all from behind my nom de plume! I enjoy it ever so much! I will return next term and perhaps have a few new recruits to help me stir the pot. Keep your eyes peeled... I may even grab some of the summertime news and rehash it at start of term. You are NEVER safe from my mighty pen.

~Ares
