For almost a week Hogwarts and Hogsmeade have suffered an unexplained, unending darkness that has gotten colder as the days have passed. Throughout, there has been silence from the upper echelons of the castle with no comment or explanation received from the Headmistress who appears to be keeping us in the literal and metaphorical dark.
I caught up with Professor Moore after a rather unenlightening Sunday Lunch to see if she could shed some light on the ongoing issue. If your hopes are up, deflate them now. The Professor attempted to wave away the concerns of The Owl Post with light hearted remarks that only seemed to ignite my curiosity even further. Reading between the lines, I got the distinct impression that Professor Moore is as clueless as the rest of us and that the Professors don’t care if we begin to suffer from Rickets or SAD.
Worry not, The Owl Post has collated the most popular theories for the darkness, for your reassurance and perusal.
- Another teaser for the Hallowe’en Bash a la the invasion of skeletons of 2028. If this is the case, it’s mildly drastic for showcasing a theme
- A peruvian darkness powder factory located possibly near Hogsmeade has exploded emitting its product into the vicinity causing the darkness
- One of the newer Professors tried to do a weather charm – which The Owl Post is aware can usually only be used indoors – and it royally backfired causing the darkness
- An eclipse of gigantic proportions is taking its time to pass the sun
- Someone has created a humongous magnet which has caused the earth’s poles to shift and we’re now in the area of the world which used to be inhabited by the arctic circle
- A dragon sneezed out ash – this is less likely as we’d expect to be warmed up by a dragon sneeze.
- And the most outlandish; Foster Cobris burped and blew out the sun.
