OOC: This is ENTIRELY IC. As this is the case, in order for gossip to be posted and for your characters to find out the latest, we NEED people who witness things to owl us on this account so it can be reported on. This is to keep everything canon and IC. Please do not post in this thread, that is for us to do.
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!
P.S This has been Ern approved.
P.P.S if you ABSOLUTELY do not want your character mentioned at all, you can PM us and let us know, and we'll do our best to ignore you
If anyone is interested in joining the elite team of Aparecium please shoot a PM to the Aparecium account with a small sample of your writing or a link to some of your RPs.
We currently have ZERO spaces available on the Aparecium team! However, if you're still interested you're welcome to let us know.
The FIRST rule is not to tell anyone that you have an interest in the job, please. The secret is not to let others know it's you.
ooc: Send us some tips! PM the Aparecium account explaining what the goss is, and (if possible) linking us to where it happened.
REMEMBER: if your character does not know IC, either from hearing about it in the RP or actually being there and witnessing it, then they do not know about it and can't report it!

I fear for your futures my lovelies! Have you not noticed all the mischief and scandal among the very people who were placed in this school to educate you?!
We all saw the blatant cry for attention from your Flying professor on the Quidditch pitch after the Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin match. Can't the OLD man put his OLD glory days behind him and let the next generation of rising stars take over? It would seem not.
Then there is the Potions Mistress and her mood swings. Suspicious? This goddess thinks so. If you ask me, it seems like baby dragons are not the only babies in her future.
Your Muggle Studies professor was seen on a date with your Ancient Runes professor in Hogsmeade looking awfully close. However, did no one else notice the twinkle in her eye when she spoke of the Librarian in class? Did anyone else see her practically skipping off to his office? This goddess did and we think her flirtatious behavior repulsive. What sort of example is THIS for young minds?
Speaking of the Librarian, I find his sudden departure from his Book Club suspicious as well. Why? Did you see him at dinner with the Healer in the Great Hall? It looks like the Muggle Studies professor isn't the only woman on his mind. He probably ate that bad fish on purpose in hopes of playing the victim and winning over the Healer's heart. Good luck with that, Mister Librarian. Just keep eating bad fish and I am sure you will find your way into the Healer's heart in no time.
Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the Groundskeeper also seem to be spending a lot of time together. They have been spotted going to a movie together and he has assisted her lessons twice now. These two are not doing a very good job of covering their obvious affections for each other and should just come right out with the truth, don't you think?
The new Charms professor is another intriguing character. Taking house points left and right just to show she is an authority. And now she has made a nursery on campus and a baby? Who did she steal the infant from and for what purpose? To try and make her look less frightening to you dear Hogwartians perhaps? Don't be fooled, my lovelies. Don't be fooled.
The Charms professor also has something against the History of Magic professor. Who doesn't? The man is honestly always up to no good. Did you know that the protesting he had you all doing around the school was simply so that you all would cause a big enough scene to distract the Headmaster and other staff while he did shifty things behind the scenes? I hear he has his sights set on the Headmaster's position. Constant vigilance, dear Headmaster!
I’m wondering if any of you lovely people noticed a certain pair in
potions class the other day? That’s right, Gryffindor Prefect Kurumi Hollingberry and Slytherin Jonathan Kim. The pair haven’t been seen together since September and – though they seem to be doing better than a few others in covering up their break-up – it hasn’t escaped my attention that they aren’t exactly close friends. It therefore came as a surprise when Hollingberry walked straight into the class and sat down next to Kim. I’m sure many of you, like myself, were interested to witness, not an argument, but Kim actually helping the Prefect, maybe helping her a little too much?
But let me tell you this, Jonathan Kim, you aren’t quite as sly as one would expect from a Slytherin. Smirking at your ex-girlfriend’s new beau? Not very inconspicuous, my friend. I’m not sure what he did to you – though rest assured, I will find out – but surely you’re a bigger and better man than that? Jealousy is a nasty trait... but the green matches your uniform, so I suppose it suits you.
And it seems I wasn’t the only one to notice that smirk of yours, Kim. Yes readers, Lewis D. Rasting, Hollingberry’s new boyfriend actually froze at the glare. (You’re not hiding any relations to our dear friend Medusa, are you Mr Kim?) I assumed this was just some sort of jealous reaction to Kim and Hollingberry’s closeness but I’ve been informed that this isn’t the first time a student has frozen in class.
So, an innocent coincidence? A curse of revenge from Kim? A jealous
reaction from Rasting?
Lets all just all ignore the practically giddy Scabior who was actually smiling in class and ask the real important question: where is the sign up sheet for this mass game of freeze frame that all the most annoying, nosy, and power-seeking kids are playing? Sign me up -I want the ability delay a boring lesson too- boring lessons like ones about handsome maps, right, Lea Carter?
Of course for some this freeze game is just an excuse to go ahead and do some ogling. Just ask Anya Phillips and Milton Shacklebolt; Milton’s right, Anya (or should we say Squeakers? Pet names already? Things are coming along nicely) the staring is creepy, maybe stick to calling maps handsome like your housemate.
A source has just informed us that Callie Elwood is a fake. Now lets be clear, dear readers, we here at Aparecium arent entirely sure if the Divination professor claims to be a seer, but just in case she does, dont let all that weirdness fool you --that lesson about fortune telling, That was just her picking up tips on how to dupe the lot of you.
Our source is quick to point out that there IS a special snowflake on staff
though, the kind that vants to suck your blood. Thats right folks, vampires love yoga too.

Seems like just anyone can go around claiming to be part of one of those these days don't ye think?
Well let me tell you self-proclaiming types something;
No.
Just no.
You are not the prince or princess of *insert house here*. Unless you can buy off the professors or somehow manage to convince them to give you points just for breathing, then you're just some lowly kid in boring puppy love.
Owl us again when you're dating Sierra Greingoth and maybe we'll talk.
As you have probably read by now, my darling Bragi has sensibly informed you all of the frequently inaccurate use of the term “Power Couple.” However, it has not escaped my attention that there may be a real one on the horizon.
Watch the Slytherin prefects closely next time you see them together (though Miss Greingoth seems a little incapacitated at the moment) – Escalante seems to be a little too worried about his frozen colleague to me... I wonder if mummy snake has noticed the way he is getting along with her new daughter. Or maybe the Slytherin head is trying to build an elite? Think about it.
So. Is it me or has everyone else noticed something interesting going on between a certain Ravenclaw and Slytherin? The couple seem to be incapable of even keeping their shenanigans out of the classroom. It all started a few months back in Herbology. Some of you may have been a little distracted by completing your own work, but it was instant chemistry as this couple decided to pair up together. The activity seemed to go pretty well at first, but for some reason a little Battering Ram got in the way.
Jealous is our little West? Thinking that a boy is going to steal his big sister? The first year head-butted João and the seventh year Slytherin ended up on his back on the floor! How embarrassing. Being taken down by a first year. I suggest João train up a little bit, before he ends up in more embarrassing confrontations with the half-pint, and the kid didn't even get in any trouble! But really, does he ever? Its like he's a minature Sierra Greingoth, notice how she escapes punishment more often than not too.
But that isn't all, oh no. How many of you noticed that spectacular points drop from Charms class? Levitation can be dangerous, and Slytherins can practically get away with murder. It was That same Ravenclaw and our very own Gryffindor Head boy (phwoaaar! Isn't he gorgeous?) who took a point loss, while our favourite Professor, the lovely Bellaire, apparently excused João and Sierra, the obviously innocent parties.
I hear there's a bit of a triangle going on with this Ravenclaw Jezebel Aspen Odessa, João of the too-long name, and a certain Corny Ravenclaw with a lurrrrve-struck smile. I also hear that a certain Head boy and a Ravenclaw prefect with her own João history just can't help but get involved. Now you know the background, so keep those eyes peeled.
It seems like some will do whatever it takes to get what they want and by whatever means necessary. While this may be a trait one associates with a Slytherin, it is a not-so-innocent Ravenclaw this goddess has received not one but TWO lovely tips on.
Miss Louisa Carter was spotted with Vickers Vanderbilt in the student garden discussing Memory Charms. More specifically, how to erase the memory of a person. Tisk tisk, Miss Carter. I thought you, as a Ravenclaw, knew your history and understood the dangers of experimenting with such forms of magic! Carter claims to need to iron out the problem with Head Boy, Paulie Foster.
What is that problem? Well, more light has been shed on this Ravenclaw prefect and her flirtatious ways. Miss Carter, don't you know that it is the worst sort of betrayal to erase a boy's memory of his girlfriend just so that you can have him to yourself? Tisk tisk.
Carter has also been seen getting cozy with Jonathan Kim, who we all know has recently suffered heartbreak. Could she be seeking to erase his memory as well?
Whatever happened to Adam Fitzgerald?! Will he be on your serial memory killer hit list as well?!
Perhaps the green monster of jealousy risen its head once again seeing how close João of the too-long name and Aspen Odessa have become?
May I offer you some advice? Slow down, Miss Carter. One boy at a time!
