GOSSIP GOES HERE

That's right! Air all your dirty laundry right here! Since it's a pretty fast game and I can't keep on top of who is doing what or being seen with who, I am putting this here for anyone to tell me (and thereby Essie) what is going on with your characters that you want out in the open! This can be for plot development, to further drama or for laughs - whatever you want! Essie will be happy to share all of your character's personal business!

So, if there's overarching plot info you want her to know, or something is going to happen (like at the party tonight) that she can gossip about the next day, put it here! Comments are screened, and I'll be checking with the players of all characters involved to be sure it's allowed out there. This can be info she saw herself, heard from someone or that someone else told her! Hookups, snoggings, break ups, or even non-relationship info your characters would want hidden are all game! The jucier the better!

I had thought a week to myself before flitting off to the states to visit Jonah, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have gone sooner. Not that I'm jealous     I don't have to worry about him, do I?

I'm not sure what the states produce other than obese people, but would any of you care for any souvenirs while I'm there?

Would you believe me if I said I miss-     I don't have anything to worry about do I?

Righteous?

Why have I not considered transfiguring my bed at Hogwarts into a King Sized bed before?

[Failed Ward to Penny, Rosalind and Dex]
There is something so simple about just shagging a bloke, isn't there? I must say, it's been quite distracting. I don't know how long I can keep this pretense. He keeps wanting to date me. Why do these things happen to me?

[/]



So, let's hear it, Hogwarts. Who do you think will be over by Valentines Day and who do you think will be getting hot and heavy?

[Warded to Dex, Penny, Rosalind]

I spoke too bloody soon. He wants a date. With me. Dinner.


Bloody fucking hell.

[Warded to Dex, Rosalind and Penny]

Apparently all it takes to get a certain shaggy blonde American out of my head is to shag him. Such a relief. I was starting to think I might Hope your nights all went as well as mine. Cheers.

Well did I call it, or did I call it? And you people tell me all I post is rubbish.

While I hope you all enjoyed talking to my grandmother, I hope she didn't delude any of you into thinking that being a famous singer is a career one can simply decide to do. She has a habit of being encouraging to the point of denial. I fear I've already had to set someone straight in the showers this morning. Sheer will does not make up for talent when it comes to these things.


It was quite interesting to meet everyone's parents though. So so much was explained.

So it seems the big news this weekend had absolutely nothing to do with secret trysts at Hogsmeade, but rather with two old lovebirds having a final parting of ways. Sorry anyone who was hoping for a rekindling of romance for James Potter and Aggie McLaggen, but it seems the girl has finally moved on - and good for her! Before everyone gets all "poor James" on me, can we remember he cheated, please? As in, he had a nice comfortable relationship and decided to throw it all away for a girl he clearly didn't care enough about to stay with. Some of us can learn from his mistakes.

Okay, so maybe Aggie has moved on with one of James' childhood friends, but can you blame her? Which girl here hasn't been trying to bag one of the Krum brothers since they stepped off that boat? As for younger Krum, he may be a krummy friend, but the boy clearly has taste. That's more than I can say for most of you.

Speaking of Durmstrang, did I hear that their team manager swept little Rose Weasley off her feet, literally? Apparently a strapping, hunky, shirtless Vasili was seen carrying Rose across the snow. New couple alert? Or language barriers causing confusion? Either way, this weekend will be an interesting match with all the passion - both hate and love it seems - drummed up between these two teams. Flint, you may want to put a leash on your players before they can get themselves into any more trouble in the next few days. If I'd made the team you wouldn't have that problem

At least there are a few adorable couples to amuse me. It seems mini-Moon has finally bagged herself a future husband - is anyone shocked? I was pretty sure she'd go for any guy who promised her a secure future. I hope Edwin knows what he's in for, but at least they are an attractive couple. I'm happy to say Nate and Duck are still going strong and despite one obviously bigoted prefect's - Leo Tatting - attempt to keep them apart, I hear they are closer than ever, if you know what I mean. As for Tatting, well I think he and his bigoted head can go take a swim with the squid. How he didn't lose his badge for those comments I will never know.

It seems, to me, that all of the Potters are having it rough lately. Littlest Potter was seen having quite the row with Will Longbottom on the streets of Hogsmeade this weekend. Couples quarrel, Lily? Quite a shame. Meanwhile, middle Potter both gained and lost a date from what I hear. I guess Corrie doesn't like her men hairless. He also seems to be down a friend. Turns out sending a creepy bear made of hair to your friend's date is not the way to keep friends, Sev. What was with that? Fucking creepy, I will tell you that. I don't blame Albus, I wouldn't want you as my friend either. Future aurors, keep an eye on this one.


Despite all this, my weekend was fabulous. I managed to put some finishing touches on my dress for the gala. Please, for those of you coming, remember it is formal attire even though my grandmother wouldn't care if you showed up naked. Let's not embarrass ourselves, okay?

Did anyone read the front page of today's Prophet? Head of DMLE Passes Out On The Job: Too Much To Handle?


Anyone?



Am I the only one who finds it ironic that this happens after her son declares himself the second coming of Lord Voldemort in middle Potter's absurd quest for attention?

Well well well. Someone is in quite the predicament right now.

It appears that one of my sources was cleaning out the trash in Myrtle's bathroom when buried in the trash she found a pregnancy test! Looks like one of our girls is up the duff! Let me be the first to offer my congratulations!



Now comes the question. Who is it? I say we start a betting pool! My money is on one of our illustrious couples! Robb? Lisa? Care to chime in? Oh or what about Sid and Quinn - Sid and August even. I doubt that bitch has been loyal, poor Quinn. Fuck. Fucking promises.Or maybe it's Audrey and Ryu - how beautiful would their kids be! I did note that they've been disappearing a whole lot.

Hmm who else? Danny's dating that ginger girl, isn't he? Oh and of course there's the great Kingsley and Lala, but I'm thinking they are not that stupid. Chase and Clover, perhaps? They've been hot and heavy. Oh maybe it's the little ones! Fred? Anna? You did just celebrate a birthday! Was it that good?

Maybe it's Anya! She did just break up with Tanner so it's possible. Boys! One of you may be a father and not know it. Better start asking if you don't already know!


Or maybe it's not one of the couples! Sev? Did you knock someone up? Abs boy? Jonah? Who else is likely? How about girls? Hm. Who is likely to be sleeping around? Avery? Did you finally get some from Malfoy? Dani? Who knows who you're sleeping with with the way you flirt.


So how about it, kids? Who are you betting on?

Well it seems like holidays just have a way of riling people up, doesn't it? Between the ball and the game (go Hogwarts!) you all are like a bunch of animals in heat.

I don't know what came over everyone at the ball, but all I know is I turn around and I see curly-headed Potter snogging the coach's kid - I'm not sure who was luckier or more desperate in that embrace. It was both horrifying and intriguing.. like watching animals mating, you know? I also am pretty sure I almost witnessed Eddie on the prowl, first fending off the Salem ab-boy-wonder whose name I still can't remember, and then attempting to mate with the talent - like she can afford to give up such eye candy for someone famous. Laughable.

While those two couldn't wait for a more private moment, I'm pretty sure I caught a couple of make-out sessions going on at the after party. Sorry guys, dark lights don't really hide things from me. Scorpius, way to go. Avery may have been going after a foreign bloke, but it seems she's settling for you, so you should probably thank whatever gods you believe in. And it seems like Nate has bounced back from his breakup with Lysander - oh yes, didn't you know they broke up? Well, he can't be too heartbroken if he's sticking his tongue down Duck's throat, right? Speaking of breakups, it seems that Tanner has gone insane. For some reason, Anya decided to overlook his weird obsession with books - lets face it, she likely didn't know any better - and he dumps her on the dance floor. I don't know what's going on with my house, guys. Surprisingly Audrey's relationship is going well for once - BORING.

But things must be getting hot and heavy because Audrey isn't going around punching people and the two of them sneak off every time there's a big event. Like we don't notice they are gone. I hear another relationship is heating up, too. Seems like Audrey isn't the only one getting a taste of a foreign land, if you know what I mean. My sources tell me that Mr. Rookwood got a bit hot and heavy with the lovely Didi. But wait. Wasn't he heavily hitting on Sophia too? Maybe France just isn't offering the same riches as America.

Also, what is with all of the blondes? That seems to transcend countries - the blondes just flock together. I've said it before, but one blonde Salem Prep beater really likes his pale headed ladies.. Jonah. Don't even protest this one. Between leaving Dom's party with Lucy Weasley to do god knows what, and then cuddling up with the titillating Frenchie beater at the after party, I don't believe you anymore. But who can blame them? They both seem rather available for the taking advantage of. Slime

And if that love triangle isn't enough for you, how about a love square? It seems Maggie Wood got a little overexcited last night (read: desperate for some attention) and wanted to rekindle an old romance by snogging ex-bf August who looked a bit caught unaware. But know who seemed quite aware of the snog? Sidney. In fact, it gave her quite the sour look. What's that you're asking, folks? Isn't she dating Quinn? Oh yes she is. Anyone care to explain that?

In other news, Go Hogwarts! Brilliant team, really!

[Warded to Dex, Penny & Rosalind]

Bloody hell. Toby is on with the flowers again. I thought maybe this year he'd take the hint and shove off. What the fuck do I do with a flower branch?

[Edited ward to Jonah]
[ooc: pinned to the journal within the ward is a flower petal]

See this? This is why I don't date.

Ah, there is nothing like a weekend of shopping to make me feel at one with the world. I was very glad to see both Gladrags and Miss Divine already carrying some items from the new fall catalogs. Shopping by owl is so hit-or-miss these days, and you can't trust the quality in photos.

Needless to say, if you passed what looked like a ghoul covered in shopping bags, that was me. I haven't felt this good since we arrived. Don't think I wasn't too busy to see what you all were getting up to, I just don't happen to care at the moment.

I managed to get enough clothes to get me through the fall, as well as stumbling across the perfect shoes for my costume. Which is a swan, if we're claiming costumes. Not that I'm worried about someone coming dressed the same, my costume can't be found in one store but was carefully pieced together since I learned of the dance. But, I'd be curious to hear what lovely things you all plan to wear.

[Warded to Jonah]

You ruin all my fun.

/End Ward/

Ahh, Hogwarts. Never a dull moment is there? I'm glad to see that most of you are back to... well I won't say normal. But, you know, some semblance of that.

So did everyone enjoy yesterday's show at breakfast? What is it with you girls and making a scene when I'm trying to choke down my first meal of the day? If you weren't there, or somehow mistook all the squawking for an owl, the buxom Beauxbatons beater got her tits back but her shirt could not handle the fury of those things and burst open. I think boys and boy-girls were all pleasantly surprised, to say the least.

You guys have me a little disappointed that I didn't get to change. Seems like everyone was having fun in their new bodies. Guess a lot of you got to experience the other side of the coin. To no one's surprise, Ryu and Audrey were seen sneaking out of the castle Thursday evening - how's it feel to be a pitcher Audrey? And it looks like she gave it to two men this week! No, not like that. Poor little Robb is sporting a fresh black eye at her hand. I'd ask what he did to deserve it, but your lists might be too long.

Also, Robb, honey, you make a much more attractive guy. Don't ever aspire to be a woman, it doesn't work for you.

Another girl was double-timing it this week too - well he's no longer a girl I hope. The blonde Salem Prep beater with the accent was seen kissing not only Roald Krum - which he happily announced to the world - but also one Olivia MacDougal. Took her on a proper date and everything! Liv, I think I can hear the collective swooning from the Hogwarts girls now. Go get 'em honey.

Oh and Jonah? Congratulations on being the first to accomplish what so many Hogwarts girls have been dying to do. The eldest Krum brother is some sort of trophy around here it seems. Lucy Weasley got the other one, though she seems rather sore about the whole thing. Girl gets the kiss of her life and is frowning? Maybe smart, charming, handsome men just aren't her thing.

Less swoon worthy, and maybe a little cringe-worthy, I heard Tanner was seen snogging yet another girl, and this time we know who it is - Anya from Durmstrang! Yeah, I know, right? Tanner, do you have some magic book that keeps drawing these women to you? If I hadn't seen the Durmstrang boys for myself I'd wonder if it was a desperate situation out there. I'm blaming this one on one of those books of his.

Hm, lots of snogging this week... I'm sure it's old news that Sidney and Quinn kissed by now, right? Hooray for a beautiful couple. But my sources tell me it was a bit more than kissing, romping in the broom closet were we? Speaking of broom closets, it seems that one of the Weasleys actually had some fun as a boy. Dom was seen pouring out of a broom closet with yet unnamed girl or girl-boy, I can't possibly know which. Want to clear that up for us, honey? You're a catch in either body, so he or she is incredibly lucky!

Oh! And I heard Caer clocked some guy who grabbed his behind a little too hard - who does that? Creeper! Not you, Caer, but you should definitely share with us who got a taste of your fury.


So, to wrap this up - who do you think made the best and the worst of the opposite gender? I vote Corbin, Sandro and Jonah for best chicks, and Dom, Aggie and Ophelia for most attractive boys. Wish I'd never had to see Robb or Charles in female form though, that was just sad. Weigh in here!

What the fuck happened to everyone in potions class today? Why are there people I don't know walking around?

My, that was an interesting breakfast. Much more entertaining than listening to the wireless, right? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about the outburst, Nikki. But whatever it was, kudos for taking what you want!

Well well, that was an interesting night was it not? You all clean up pretty well, but black is slimming on everyone so you're welcome for that in advance. I'm setting you all up to win, people.

Though Scorpius' favorite color might as well be red. Never took him for a ginger fan, but clearly between Lily Potter who I hear he took to Penny's party, and his canoodling with Dex on his lap last night, it appears the man is a fan of the flamers - and I'm referring to their hair color. Sorry, Duck. Hey Scorpius, you've got one left - that Salem Prep girl. Go for it, man.

Unless, that is, model boy has already claimed her - I've noticed they are quite close. He's always got his arm around her and sharing secrets. But wait, didn't he take Audrey Hooper last night? That's right, he did. And she looked quite fabulous I might add. Perhaps she noticed her ex boyfriend Chase sucking face with Clover -- looks like that relationship isn't over folks. I give it a week before they're back together and let's say until hols to break up again.

And if you missed the striptease by that hunk of a Salem Prep seeker. You know, the one with the abs. He must have had a lot of punch, but who was complaining? Boy, you can do that any time of any day if you ask me. Also seen enjoying the punch - or perhaps something stronger - was dear Alice. Sorry dear, hiding in a dark corner doesn't mean no one will notice you.

You know what else I noticed? Two usually very grumpy Slytherin boys were seen smiling - yes smiling! - under the charms of one Ava Hooper. Maybe it's her stellar personality, or the fact that she had just a bit too much punch to be taken seriously. Glad to see that the boys have hearts. And speaking of Slytherin boys, who was Tanner snogging? It didn't go unnoticed, but I was too preoccupied to investigate further.

And noticeably absent last night was one Aggie McLaggen. Are parties still not her thing? Maybe she feared the greasy, makeup-caked faces that have been showing themselves around school. Or perhaps, just perhaps, she was afraid to see one of those faces lip-locked to her scummy cheat of an ex boyfriend. Yep, James Potter and Aggie McLaggen are over, folks. Guess he found greener pastures over the hols, too bad he didn't tell her about it first. Well, now you're free to snog all the girls you want, but I'm sorry to say that a girl like that doesn't come around twice. Especially not when you treat her like that.


Well, Hogwarts, it was a fun night. Hope you're all over those headaches and hangovers because this year is just getting started.

[Private to Penny]

Meet me in the common room tonight. Wear black and look fabulous.

End Ward

Ah Hogwarts. Lovely to see you again one last time before I move on with my life. Let's hope this year goes quick and we all do well. At least we'll have the tournament to keep us occupied, yeah? Sorry to all you foreign folks, but Hogwarts has got this this year. Especially if the team is made up of Slytherin players like I think it should will be.


But, your uniforms are all quite darling. Much more inspired than Hoggy uniforms. It must be that foreign sense of style so many lack around here. Perhaps you can teach some of us a lesson or two in fashion, if nothing else.
