It would seem that while a certain Gryffindor triplet had some feelings for a fourth year Lion, unwilling or unable to show it, she decided to spend a mopey carriage ride from Hogsmeade to the castle. Only at the rather insistent pull of her fellow Lion sibling did she join her paramour. This sudden closeness only served to pique the interest of young Benjamin Atreyu. Alas, his interest did little to sway young Angel Valentine from her sullen mood. Perhaps a little time spent back in Hogwarts near the Gryffindor fireplace would rekindle the flame of young love.

But as the feast progressed it became only too clear we were watching the wrong Valentine. Sister Aubrey stole the spot light, puckering up for Hufflepuff Ian Tinker who’d made his intentions oh so clear. What’s a girl to do after a kiss but show her gratitude with a bit of violence? Don’t take it too personally, Tinker, it’s just the way of the Gryffindor. A way it’s best you remember before you go making moves on yet another sister.

With the days of crayons and juice boxes only recently behind them, there’s no telling what this lot will get up to next but we do hope we’ll be there and remember Dearies, we’re always watching.

Seems like a little power has gone to the head girl's noggin. She has taken up two classes with outlandish and disrespectful behavior toward the very patient Hogwarts professors of DADA and History of Magic. It would seem though, that being the head girl has it's priveleges as neither has taken the head girl head on.

Is it possible the head girl knows something about these two that allows her indiscriminate behavior? Perhaps there is some deep, dark secret that helps the Defense of the Dark Arts teacher excel at her craft. Maybe the History of Magic professor has her own 'magical history'. Who's to know.

One thing we do know, if Ms. Alexa Cambridge is not reined in, she may choose to reign over the students and faculty of Hogwarts in place of Headmisstress Anastasia Truebridge.

Is it a fairy tale, or a tale from the Grimm brothers?

It would seem, that after Malexifent departed, her rightful place of leadership was overtaken by one Professor Airey Flamsteed. In a recent Astronomy class that should have covered the innocent topic of space exploration, it went in a different direction.

Clad in the flamboyant attire of Captain James Hook, notably of Peter Pan fame, Professor Flamsteed (or Hooksteed) as he took to being called gave one of the most useless astronomy lessons ever. It may have been a costumed prank gone wrong as he was joined by 'Peter Pan' and 'Alladin', but it ended in a mess such as the Hogwarts house elves have never seen. They explained that there was food puree completely covering the Astrophysics lab. If this is the type of education our students can expect, is there really a need for Hogwarts anymore? And where exactly was headmistress Truebridge while one of her faculty members took to allowing students to destroy a classroom and food specially brought in for this class?

This shameful behavior leads us to believe that instead of headmistress, Truebridge may really be Mother Goose. If she's not careful, her goose may soon be cooked.

Despite the cooling weather, things are starting to heat up between two Slytherins, Mr. Grayson Whitlock and Ms. Sophie Newell. Most students have probably already noticed the eyes the two make at each other during lessons, or while sitting together at their house table. But finally, much to Ms. Newell's delight, we are sure, the two were spotted Whitlocking lips on a cool day by the lake.

It has seemed like the pair have been flirting since the very beginning of Mr. Whitlock's time here at Hogwarts, but the romantic feelings have been a bit more testy this term, perhaps due to Ms. Newell's brothers less-than-positive feelings towards the fifth year snake, or maybe the arrival of a new Slytherin girl, who has been receiving some jealous looks from Ms. Newell herself.

It seems as if the only house this term without any romantic dramas so far is Ravenclaw... or is it? Keep your eyes out, dearies, and remember, Hogwarts is full of secrets.

Oh my! It seems Hogwarts mutual dislike of one Greyson Whitlock has reached firey proportions. That's right, during the very first Herbology lesson of the term (Professor Walton's first here, by the way), some brave soul actually set the self-proclaimed Slytherin Hottie's robes on fire! Perhaps not the best place to pull something like that, a greenhouse full of plants, but definitely effective.

But what's even more amazing is that no one stepped up to admit to being or tattle on said firestarter! Not even under the threat of points loss for everyone in the class. So, if you were wondering why the house points look a little lighter, now you know.
