The Persnickity Pumpkin Peril

The Persnickety Pumpkin Peril or Respect the Sprites

By Isobel Argo

As many of us know, lately we had a very persnickety pumpkin issue. Between the singing in the forest, pumpkins on our heads and even the terrible, no good, awful, very not fun day in herbology when it seemed to all come to a head!

This reporter has the scoop straight from the pumpkin pamperer’s mouth! It seems the target of the pumpkin love was none other than Professor Dracheblume herself! I recently caught up with her during the halloween dance after the peril had passed to ask what was going on. It seems dear readers that we were in the presence of a very old pumpkin sprite, jumped from across the pond to here when pumpkins where brought over! Due to the care and love Dracheblume gives to plants, the wee sprite was infatuated with her. Thankfully due to some quick thinking from one Professor Vikander during the attack on the greenhouse, the showdown moved from kidnapping students to a talk a thon with the sprite in which we all got stuck with pumpkin everything for! 

While this article is short, sweet and to the point. It bares a warning for all. Do NOT disrespect magical creatures. For something wicked this way may come.
