Dear Leonora,

As you prepare to embark on the next chapter of your life beyond the walls of Hogwarts, I want to take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary journey you’ve had and express my admiration for all that you’ve accomplished.

From the first day that I met you, your quirky and vibrant spirit has been a delightful and unique presence in our school. I believe one of my earliest memories regarding you involved something you called… The Great Pumpkin?

Your enthusiastic and colourful commentary during Quidditch matches brought a new level of excitement and engagement to our beloves sport, making each game an unforgettable and at times necessarily moderated experience. Your dedication as the editor of the Owl Post has also kept the Hogwarts community informed and enteratained, showcasing your exceptional talent for journalism of a… rather unique and conspiracy-centric nature. Your tours to new students and your extensive… passion for our school has left a lasing impression on many and you have demonstrated that one can be both dedicated and authentic, as no one could ever doubt that you are certainly true to yourself.

Miss Clements, your unique and creative spirit has certainly impacted our community in countless ways. As you move forward into new adventures, I am confident that you will continue to bring your distinctive charm and enthusiasm to everything you do.

I look forward to hearing about the wonderful things you achieve in the future.

Wishing you all the best in your future,

Abaddon Blightly-Osborne O.M.1

Roses are red, Violets are blue. Thanks for all your hard work. Toodaloo.

Evan Adams

Thank you for bringing biscuits to the Owl Post meetings. And thank you also for not teasing me because I thought it was Owl Club and that it involved owls. That is why I brought my owl, Wobble, to the first meetings I went to. Obviously it is not Owl Club where we all have owls, and at first I was disappointed. But writing for the Owl Post has made my English much better so thank you for that. And the biscuits. It will not be the same without you. 

Timocleia Gwilym

Nora, it’s been a great time being your dorm mate! It’s been real, I hope you finally clean out the pumpkins in our dorm, and don’t forget us. May you have the brightest pumpkin filled future

Siren Resling

Hello Nora! I’ve only known you for a few years, but I always loved your commentary out on the field, and the snail races, too! I wish you all the best when you graduate!

Reika DuBois

I never thought I’d be interested in the newspaper or anything, but you made it sound fun and gave me a chance to help with just doing photos, and took a risk when I offered to write too. It is surprisingly much fun. So yeah thanks for taking me in, mate and letting me try out this thing I thought it’d suck at. I can’t wait to see what you end up doing, pretty sure I’ll hear your voice through the speakers at some big Quidditch match or read your game news in the newspaper, but no matter what you do, I got no doubt you’ll rock it and show people how much fun it is. See ya, mate! 

Jamie

It has been fantastic working with you on articles these many years. You helped me realize I could write more then just recipes.

Marigold

Hey Nora!

Good luck with graduating and everything.  It’s been real fun and stuff working with you on the Owl Post.  I hope you get to be a professional better/bookie/whatever or a professional quidditch announcer or a super cool reporter.  Then we can read about you in the prophet or something.  Anyways, I hope you have a good adult time and don’t forget about all of us.  Don’t worry, we’ll take care of your pumpkins.

Reese

Nora thank you so much for your dedication to the Owl Post. Thank you for showing me around in my first year. If it wasn’t for your tour I would’ve gotten lost so easily. I’m going to miss the snail races and I’m gunna miss placing bets on the upcoming Quidditch Matches. I’m gunna miss the pumpkins that stay way too long in our commons after Halloween. But most importantly I’m going to miss you. 

Leilani Tamriel

We will miss you. Also I think you were short on my bet winnings during that one match I bet on?

Oliver Letsworth Prescott

Dear Nora,

Well, it’s that time of year again, the time when we bid adieu to our graduating seniors, and we’re left wondering who will fill the void of chaos you’re leaving behind.

From the moment I stepped foot in owl post office, Nora, it was clear you weren’t here to blend into the tapestries. No, you were more like a fireworks display in a sea of gloomy black robes. Your energy is infectious, your wit sharper than a tack, and your ability to talk someone out of their left arm is both impressive and only slightly alarming.

Let’s talk about your illustrious career as Hogwarts’ very own bookie. Quidditch betting pools? Genius. You managed to fleece the entire student body out of their pocket change faster than a Niffler in a galleon factory. And don’t even get me started on your Quidditch commentary. Sure, you couldn’t catch a Snitch if it had a neon sign attached, but by Merlin’s beard, you could talk about it like you invented the sport.

Then there’s your role as the editor of the owl post. Communication at Hogwarts wouldn’t be half as efficient if it weren’t for your tireless efforts. And who could forget your noble crusade to save innocent pumpkins from a gruesome fate? I’m pretty sure you single-handedly convinced half the castle to join your cause, or curse the day they ever smelled a pumpkin six weeks past ripe.

But for all your bluster and bravado, Nora, there’s a heart of gold beneath that loud exterior. Despite your claims of having few friends, you’ve touched more lives at Hogwarts than you realize. Your loyalty, your kindness (however well hidden it may be), and your unwavering spirit make you one of a kind.

As you prepare to embark on the next chapter of your journey, remember to take a piece of Hogwarts with you wherever you go, I think there are some loose bricks around the courtyard. And maybe leave behind a few tips on how to run a successful betting pool, I could use the extra galleons. We’ll miss you, Nora, but we know you’re destined for greatness.

With equal parts fondness and mischief,

Lilee Morris

Gonna miss you Nora! Those Pros have no idea what is coming for them if you stay in commentary. All the best!

Lex Ashworth

Sorry for almost crushing your head with a Buldger. Your commentary has always been amusing and your future will be just as bright.

Rajaht C. Bakshi

Good luck in you future endeavors Nora, will miss your commentary.

Raimy Sarr

You’ve always done a great job. Thought your commentary on Gryffindor and Hufflepuff was a little too embellished. Hope to hear more from you from the stands.

JD Johnathan Deca Garcias

Commentary was bloody legendary mate. Gonna miss your quips.

Greyson Bishop

As the quidditch announcer, you have spoiled us by providing quick play by play and entertaining side comments. I missed your personality when you were on break and was ecstatic to welcome you back the next year. I hope you’re offered a position announcing pro games, and you grab it!

Caitlin Spector,  Hufflepuff Chaser

Dear Nora,

As we both prepare to bid farewell to Hogwarts, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest admuiration for your unwavering enthusiasm throughout all your Quidditch commentaries. Your talent has not only brought the games to life but has also inspired all of us, players, or spectators, creating  vivid pictures of all matches, as well as a fun challenging atmosphere that will remain in my memory. Your insightful analysis and infectious passion for the sport, even your -sometimes- too partial comments for badgers , showed your dedication to the sport and your unparalleled talent, both on and off the pitch. I’ll leave Hogwarts with lots of gratitude for having had the privilege of playing Quidditch under your watchful eye. You been probably the only one counting out all the bludgers i took over the years… So in my own name, and, as the eagles’ Captain, for my team, i just wanna say a big “Thank you” for being such a wonderful “voice of Quidditch” at Hogwarts for all those years !

London, UK – The Ministry of Magic is pleased to announce the implementation of a new decree aimed at supporting the academic recovery of Hogwarts students impacted by extenuating circumstances. This decree, enacted under the authority of Odette Allard, Head of Magical Education, ensures that affected students have the necessary options to continue their education successfully and without undue stress.

Purpose:

This decree has been established to provide a structured and compassionate approach to academic recovery for students who have faced significant educational disruptions due to the mirror world crisis. The goal is to support their progression while addressing their unique circumstances.

OWL Examination Requirement for Fifth Years:

All fifth-year students are mandated to undertake their Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWLs) by the conclusion of their fifth year at Hogwarts. Failure to fulfill this requirement will result in the necessity to repeat the fifth year of magical education.

• Fifth-year students may sit the exams outside of the prescribed time if:

1. An appeal to the Ministry is granted, or
2. They are part of a group action put forth by Hogwarts to the Ministry to arrange sitting the exams outside the normal time.

NEWT Examination Requirement for Seventh Years:

Every seventh-year student is obligated to sit for their Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests (NEWTs) by the conclusion of their seventh year at Hogwarts. Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in the student not receiving their NEWT grades.

• Seventh-year students may resit their exams no later than one calendar year following their graduation from Hogwarts if:

1. An appeal to the Ministry is granted, or
2. They are part of a group action put forth by Hogwarts to the Ministry to arrange sitting the exams outside the normal time.

Opt-Out Provision:

Students who do not wish to undertake the prescribed examinations at the stipulated times may choose to repeat their respective years at Hogwarts. It is important to note that this option is not indicative of academic failure but rather a compassionate measure to allow students to fully recover and prepare adequately under extraordinary circumstances.

Implementation:

This decree shall come into effect immediately and shall be enforced by the appointed educational authorities of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Amendment and Revocation:

This decree may be amended or revoked by Odette Allard, Head of Magical Education at the British Ministry of Magic, as deemed necessary for the welfare and efficiency of magical education.

The Ministry of Magic emphasises that the decision for students to repeat a year is made to accommodate their unique circumstances and ensure they receive the support needed to succeed. This approach should not be viewed as a reflection of their academic abilities but rather as a necessary step for their well-being and future success.

Explosion in Paris

Vampires in the North

Tensions continue to rise throughout the Wizarding World as the conflict increases in Scandinavia and the rest of Central Europe between the Friends of Golovin and the Ministerial Forces of much of the Scandinavian nations, assisting what many describe to be ‘Pureblood extremists’ naming themselves the ‘Traditionalists’. With this conflict kicking off after sweeping changes made to Durmstrang Institute’s anti-Muggleborn acceptance policy by previous Headmaster Golovin – who was tragically murdered during the most recent Tri-Wizard Tournament – there seems to be no positive end in sight for the Friends of the once Headmaster, as the rebel soldiers are pushed within the borders of Sweden.

Whilst morale within the Friends of Golovin picked up with reported sightings of the Children of Golovin – close confidantes of the once-Headmaster, including that of the victorious Durmstrang champion Lars Stangeland – the oppressive might of the Norwegian, Finnish and Danish Ministries has been too much for the majority of the war-front to take. Where skirmishes once occurred in the streets of Oslo, now peace reigns, and fighting is reduced to the Swedish border, where the Friends have largely been corralled. War correspondent Kyle Plummer had this to say on the war:

“It’s no question that the Traditionalists seem set to win this war and return Scandinavia to its previous status as a staunchly ‘traditional’, ‘pureblood-led’ Wizarding region. I for one think it’s obviously a huge shame, but there’s something extremely interesting going on here. Despite these great nations seeming to have enough Wixen within their ranks to deal with the uprising, they’re still looking at gathering strength amongst the rest of the population. I mean, I probably shouldn’t be writing this, but there is a huge build up of Wixen from every country in Europe in the northern fjords of Norway, not to mention the Dementor packs of Azkaban have found their way there too. Of course with it being a warzone this is to be expected, but they’re not feeding off of any of the cities or contested border regions it would seem. When you combine this with reports of Muggle towns emptied in the North as well, well…there’s something else going on here, something /very/ interesting, something potentially very concerning.”

Meanwhile, results have been made public within the vote to ratify a ‘New Kalmar’ nation between the countries of Scandinavia – including Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Greenland, with the region. Within all of the Scandinavian region there was a shockingly high percentage on the side of unification of states, with 97% of all citizens who voted in Norway supporting the full ratification of New Kalmar as a state within the Wizarding World. Efforts are underway and it is expected that by the end of April the Scandinavian states shall cease to exist, with a new government formed in Oslo combining all the powers that the current nation states hold. All except Sweden, who – despite a vote confirming 91% of the legal, native Swedish population in the wartorn state supporting the unification and wishing to become part of the New Kalmar State – have declined to enter into unification proceedings. It is reported from the internal Swedish Cabinet that the Minister of Magic has stepped in with an executive order to overwrite the vote. Many of the Friends of Golovin who now find themselves within Swedish borders have hailed him a ‘hero of the people’, but it is expected by many that the New Kalmar State, once fully formed and ratified will declare war on Sweden in earnest to oust what Norwegian and Danish news outlets are now calling ‘the Dictator oppressing the Swedish people’.

Just days ago Durmstrang welcomed a new Headmaster into its halls, with Professor Verner Kvist being sworn in by the Board of Governors – reportedly under pressure from the Norwegian Minister – as the successor to the controversial Matvey Golovin, the school having been run by an interim Headteacher in the meantime. Headmaster Kvist’s first action as Headmaster was the banning of all mention of Matvey Golovin, and the removal of all texts, images and references to the man within the castle. His second decree – and one that is being lauded by Traditionalists across Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe – was the immediate expulsion of all Muggleborn students and the overturning of Golovin’s reforms to a more traditional outlook. Already these Muggleborns have largely been forced out of their country of origin – excluding Sweden – and have joined the multiple refugee trains headed for the West and East, looking for the hope of education in Beauxbatons’ halls or Koldovstoretz’ walls where Durmstrang will not provide it.

In the wake of these expulsions, violence has erupted across much of Central Europe, notably within the Czech Republic and Germany, with Traditionalists and Friends of Golovin in these nations clashing with each other in a struggle for domination. The fighting threatens to turn more sinister with each passing day, but there is hope that the Ministries of these nations will bring them under control.

In an alarming turn of events in the Balkans, Minister of Albania Clirimodius Mordushku was found assassinated whilst visiting Oslo to discuss mutual securities between the Traditionalist Bloc – currently including all of Scandinavia bar Sweden, Serbia and Albania. Reports state that fugitive Dagmar Gaard, a member of the Children of Golovin – an inner circle and figurehead of the Friends of Golovin movement – was spotted leaving the scene of the crime, though not before the Minister ratified one final treaty with the Norwegian Minister, sending the Vampire population that Albania and Serbia had invited from Romania to the North. The reasoning for this is unknown but largely transparent, and many believe that through some agreement the Vampires of Romania will soon be seen on battlefields across the Scandinavian State.

In other news closer to home, the Statute of Secrecy came under shocking threat days prior after a whirlwind in Godric’s Hollow threatened to sweep through the town, with Muggles and Wixen alike witnessing the anomaly. Quickly dealt with by the Ministry, this marks a number of recent potential statute breaches, leaving many to wonder if there is going to come a time where the statute is no longer a realistic choice to defend the Wixen World. There are suspicions that this was caused by a Poltergeist, with Muggles believing the Beehive Store was closed for business thanks to the cleverness of DMAC employees. We would ask that any of our readers who have a similar incident report it straight to the DMAC, and to note the presence of the DRCMC in the Town investigating the issue.

A recent swathe of posters have appeared all over Wixen settlements in the UK, printed by the Liotta Printing Bureau – previously Porridge’s Prints until its acquisition by the Liotta Family in 2030 – advertising paid mercenary work for Traditionalist forces in the North. When invited to comment, Carmen Liotta – acting Director of LPB – had this to say: “The Liotta Printing Bureau is all about business, not politics. The Ministries in Scandinavia asked us to print these posters for them and paid good money. As far as the Liotta Printing Bureau is concerned, this act is not a breach of any law, and as such we are comfortable providing this service.’ The exact amount of Galleons the LPB was offered for these prints has not been publicly disclosed, but is estimated to be no small fortune, as it would appear by the posters that the Liotta Family also has some hand in organising the next steps for any would be mercenaries – of which there have already been a substantial number.

Tensions within France have escalated to a fever pitch, compounded by the Refugee Crisis out of the Balkan states and Scandinavia. With Goblin demands still being unheard by the French Ministry, it is believed that a group of Goblins working with – as many news reports on the continent are stating –  Muggleborn Wixen demolished a large portion of Wixen Paris with an explosion of vast magnitude. Whilst there is no confirmation of the deceased, it is believed that at least 30-35 Wixen were killed in the blast, leading to calls for the French Ministry to grow more hardline on the Goblin threat, and to begin rejecting those fleeing the conflicts breaking out across the rest of the Continent.

With everything currently going on across Europe, there have been many calls for a political summit to see what can be done about resolving the conflicts and offering humanitarian aid to those expelled from their countries. The Minister of Magic in Britain had this to say: “The current state of affairs in Europe demands immediate attention and concerted action. We cannot sit idly by while our fellow wixen communities suffer through conflict, war, and upheaval. As such, I am calling for a Ministerial Summit to be held here in Britain in May. It is imperative that the leadership of wixen communities across Europe come together to discuss strategies for resolving this discord and providing much-needed humanitarian aid to those affected. I urge my European counterparts to join me in showing solidarity and compassion during these challenging times.”

Grab onto your hats, readers, for I have a story of charm, mystery, and whispered secrets. It’s about Lukka Rookswood, the man who’s become the wizarding world’s latest heartthrob and the subject of my most recent journalistic obsession. Who is this man who charms witches with only a glance? As your favourite writer, I, Scandella Bliss, decided to unravel the mystery of Lukka Rookswood. What I didn’t anticipate, however, was being so utterly captivated by his bewitching allure.

Picture the scene: I sat in the cosy nook of the Leaky Cauldron, my attire a bold statement amongst the conservatively robed wixen around me. As I checked my face in my compact, I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of anticipation. Soon, I would be meeting the infamous Lukka Rookswood. 

Amidst this backdrop, Rookswood emerged, a figure of suave sophistication. Clad in a suit that seemed to mirror the depth of his sapphire orbs, he seemed to glide through the crowd, radiating raw appeal, if you know what I mean. His handshake was warm, his smile disarming, and as we settled for our tête-à-tête, it was clear: this was a man who knew the art of enchantment well beyond his Veela heritage.

Determined to dive beneath this charming glamour, I probed about his twin sister who has been absent from the public eye for some time. Alas, his replies were artful dances, twirling around the truth with a certain grace. His school history, painted in shades of controversy, was a mosaic of thrilling escapades and youthful exploits, not the vipers’ den of chaos and fire I’d expected. Even his stint in St. Mungo’s, a topic I was sure would catch him off guard, was addressed with a poise that left more questions than answers. 

Readers may recall, the first debate saw Rookswood name dropping one Persephone Vitrac as a good friend, a move that left many wondering. During our interview, the names of Persephone Vitrac and rumoured beau, Caryxander Mordushku were dangled like forbidden fruit. Yet, Lukka, with a disarming laugh and a shake of his head, insisted they were mere friends. Additionally, amidst the swirling rumours, one can’t help but speculate about the parentage of his child. Is there a hidden flame behind these ‘friendly’ facades?

The second debate was a spectacle of wit and wizardry. Rookswood, Dechants, and Marrow – a trio of power, waltzed through questions meant to expose their motivations with shared looks and confident smiles. Rookswood, in particular, stood out with his eloquent discourse, weaving through topics with that, now, familiar grace. He spoke passionately about the need for greater empathy and understanding within the hallowed halls of Hogwarts, touching on points that seemed to resonate deeply with many in the crowd, myself included. His words were enchanting, leaving us all spellbound with a different, more natural, kind of charm.

But it was the charity event, just days later, that truly showcased the depth of Rookswood’s social talents. Amidst the flurry of activity, Rookswood was a bright light drawing people in to share in his radiance. There, he demonstrated a remarkable compassion for people from all walks of life – from wide-eyed children to the most esteemed members of our community. 

I must admit that I was surprised at the event’s transformation from a Marrow-led endeavour to a triumvirate of power. Observers couldn’t help but note the seamless integration of Rookswood into the fold- post a secretive dialogue between Marrow and Dechants. Rookswood’s involvement brought a certain je ne sais quoi, if I may say so myself.

As the event drew to a close, Rookswood’s departing message to voters was this, “Your voices and your votes are the wands with which we can weave a brighter future for Hogwarts and our community,” he said, his voice carrying the weight of sincerity and hope. “Together, we can cast a spell of change.”

In the end, as I put down my quill, I find myself more enchanted than ever by Lukka Rookswood. In my journey to expose the veela behind the charm, I failed to obtain any such evidence proving Lukka Rookswood as anything less than the upstanding citizen and concerned parent he presents himself to be. Voters, the choice is yours, but remember, a vote for Rookswood might just be a vote for a magical future we’ve all been dreaming of.

Editor’s Note: Opinions in this article may be the result of a potent veela charm. Or the hope that Mr. Rookswood will actually ask Miss Bliss on a date. We ask that readers not base the Witch Weekly’s journalistic integrity on this article as it is representative only of the author’s opinion, not the publication as a whole.

Whispers have been swirling like a storm through Diagon Alley, and who, my dear readers, is at the centre of this latest hurricane? None other than Enoch Marrow, the man with a gaze as sharp as the secrets he keeps. Yes, darlings, the same Enoch Marrow who’s announced his bold run for the Hogwarts Board of Governors. But what do we really know about this enigmatic entrepreneur with a past as shadowy as the Knockturn Alley nooks he frequents?

In the vibrant theatre of politics, Mr. Marrow presents himself as a doting father, a cultured businessman, and a Victorian gentleman. Such a flawless image has been painted of him, one might wonder if his galleons are as silver-tongued as he is- charming the quills of certain Daily Prophet writers. After all, it is curious how a man with his… colourful background receives such glowing write-ups, isn’t it? Could it be that Marrow’s coin is as persuasive as his reputedly dark spells? Or perhaps those writing such reviews have secrets only he knows. But let us not dwell on conjecture; the Prophet, after all, has always had an impeccable reputation for integrity. Or so they say.

Marrow’s profession, if one could call it that, deals in the obscure arts of dark magic, spells, artefacts, and potions, trading not just in galleons but in the currency of secrets, favours, and power. His favoured establishment, The Brimstone Club, serves as the stage for these dealings, where the elite and the dubious mingle over firewhisky, shisha, and hushed conversations. It should be noted, that while he presents it as such, Marrow does not own the hookah lounge found on Knockturn’s dark streets.

As if to cast a Lumos on his darkened reputation, Marrow speaks tenderly of his daughter, Aures- a bright young Gryffindor prefect who, he claims, has been his compass through the perils of single parenthood. A commendable narrative, indeed, if we ignore the shadowy tendrils of his business that reach into the very heart of our society.

But let’s unfurl this tapestry further, shall we? Let’s not forget the dramatic saga of Marrow’s lost years from his daughter, Aures- a separation that could rival the most tragic of operas he so adores. One has to ponder the peculiar circumstances that led to such a separation and the subsequent reunion. A father and daughter, torn apart and then mysteriously reconnected just as Marrow’s ambitions climb to their zenith. How very… convenient. Nevermind the claims that it was his respectible past lover to set the flames. A veela? Casting fiendfyre instead of the flames of her own heritage? Could this poignant tale be yet another cog in Marrow’s campaign machine, or is there a genuine bond, reforged from the ashes of a family once divided?

One can’t help but marvel at the contrast- a man whose dealings bend the boundaries of legality, raising a daughter held to the highest esteem by Hogwarts. Aures, with her youthful innocence and prefect badge, stands by her father, a testament to his character—or so he would have us believe.

But what of Marrow’s aspirations for his daughter? A future as the heir to his questionable empire, perhaps? He assures us that Aures will chart her own course, her veela heritage granting her a fire that not even he could quench. Yet, one wonders, is this independence genuine, or is his daughter just another pawn in Marrow’s grand strategy?

Peacocks strut less than Marrow, whose fashion choices are as ostentatious as they are archaic. The crow-handled cane, the old-fashioned suits- do they hint at a yearning for days when the Marrow name held more prestige, or are they a calculated part of his campaign to charm the old souls of Wizarding Britain?

And let’s not forget the operatic overtures. Marrow claims a love for the high notes and drama of the opera- a curious hobby for a man whose life, if rumours are to be believed, has more drama than a Wagnerian saga.

As Marrow’s posters pop up more frequently in Knockturn and Diagon than in any respectable part of our world, we must ask ourselves- what does the future hold for Hogwarts if Enoch Marrow secures a seat at the table? Will the hallowed halls of our beloved school be tainted by the murky dealings of Knockturn Alley?

Oh, he promises safety, integrity, and family but can a man so accustomed to the shadows truly step into the light? Can the leopard change his spots, or will Hogwarts find itself embroiled in the kind of intrigue that The Brimstone Club knows all too well?

It’s a tantalising thought, my lovely readers, and one that this reporter will follow with bated breath. As the election draws near, will Enoch Marrow’s campaign cast a charm over the voters, or will the skeletons in his closet begin to rattle their bones? Only time will tell, and I, Scandella Bliss, will be there to report with a quill poised, ready to scribble down every last scandalous detail. And hey, if you happen to have a bit of dirt on Marrow or any of his fellow campaigners, write in to Witchy Whispers. We’re always eager to hear.

Stay tuned, darlings! For this is one tale that’s just beginning to bewitch.

In aworld where ancestry and scandal often dance a delicate pas de deux, Wizarding Britain has seen the Marrow family re-emerge into the public consciousness. As your loyal chronicler, I am Gideon Quillworthy, and I have a sharp eye and a penchant for the exquisite intricacies of our world. Today, those very things lead me to discuss Enoch Marrow, the pureblood with a penchant for the controversial, now vying for a seat on the Hogwarts Board of Governors.

Descended from a lineage reputed to share blood with the noble knights of King Arthur’s Round Table, the Marrows have seen their storied legacy tarnished by whispers of downfall and disgrace. Yet, amidst this murmured backdrop, Enoch, the family’s second-born son, has carved a niche of respect—albeit one that teeters on the edge of notoriety. It is clear that his mother, Yitao Marrow, a paragon of the family’s enduring grace, has instilled in him the resilience to navigate the tumultuous waters of pureblood expectations.

His brother, Gabriel, notorious for his violent deeds and surprising accomplishments and has recently passed under mysterious circumstances, leaving Enoch the unexpected heir to the Marrow estate. The grand manor, once a bastion of prestige, now awaits its new lord, whose ascension is darkened by his brother’s demise and the spectral memories of a past that was glorious and fraught.

Our interview saw the scion of the Marrow lineage reflect upon his halcyon days within Hogwarts’ walls with a longing gaze. A Ravenclaw of note, Marrow’s formative years were marked by an endearing dalliance with one Anastasia Rothenberg at the Yule Ball, a memory he recounted with a tender voice. . Yet, it is his later scandalous entanglement that readers will find most titillating.

The scandal that clings to Marrow’s well-tailored coattails is not just the tragic fiendfyre conflagration of yesteryear, but his brazen choice in a lover—a veela. While such unions are often celebrated amongst European wixen, among British wixen, they are viewed with a mingled fascination and disapproval. His liaison with Banon, a Bulgarian veela with a fiery spirit, ended in the inferno of fiendfyre. The blaze, which Marrow claims was set alight by Banon herself, consumed not only the family’s humble abode but also the life he had envisioned with his unborn child. An unborn child he would only reconnect with twelve years later.

This same daring spirit infuses his business dealings, which, though cloaked in the benign terminology of “sales and shipping,” are rumoured to dabble in artefacts of a potency as intoxicating as the veela allure itself. Marrow, a frequenter of opera houses and purveyor of the import business, wields his influence in circles both high and low, from aurors to artisans, political figures to the proletariat. According to him, Marrow finds solace and expression in the soaring arias, a reminder that, despite the murmurings of the alleys, there exists a nobility of spirit that transcends the mere bloodlines of old.

Now, with campaign posters adorning the magical byways more abundantly in Diagon and Knockturn than elsewhere, the electorate is presented with a man whose gaze upon his daughter exudes a protective fervour, while she, a young Gryffindor prefect, reflects it with an affection that softens the public façade of the candidate. Together, their faces call out to passingby wixen, full of unity and understanding.

Marrow claims his candidacy for the Board of Governors reaches beyond personal ambition; it is a bid for the heart of Hogwarts- a pledge for the safekeeping and enrichment of its venerable halls and the precious souls that roam them. The vote that looms will not only decide a seat at the governing table but will also pass judgement on whether the wizarding world is prepared to embrace a future where tradition and acceptance, scandal and integrity, mingle to forge a new path forward.

So, esteemed readers, as the hour of decision draws nigh, consider the man behind the Marrow name. Will the wizarding community cast their lot with a figure ensconced in the richness of history yet unafraid to court controversy? Time shall inscribe the outcome, and history shall look on with bated breath.

Editor’s Note: Mark your calendars for an engaging afternoon in Hogsmeade as Enoch Marrow hosts a distinctive charity event intertwined with the week’s social club meeting of Stitch & Bitch on January 28th at 1 pm. This gathering promises to be more than just a social soiree—it’s an opportunity for community members to support young witches and wizards in need. Mr. Marrow encourages attendees to bring any old or unused wands, which will be donated to Hogwarts students who, whether by accident or adversity, are without a wand and lack the means for a replacement. The event will also feature a spirited meet & greet, allowing guests to interact and converse with Marrow in a relaxed setting. Wixen aged seventeen and older who are eager to contribute to the event’s success through volunteer work are invited to make their interest known to Enoch Marrow (marshallli resident or whypersephone on discord). This occasion is set to weave together the threads of charity and camaraderie, all in the unique spirit of the Stitch & Bitch club’s community-driven ethos.

Calls for Kalmar

Canada and Mexico join calls for Ilvermorny Inclusion

Ministerial Shake-Up in the Balkans

At around 11:37pm on the 22nd of September, forces of The Friends of Golovin were forced to surrender after a sustained assault by the Traditionalists, spearheaded by Norwegian Aurors joining their Scandinavian compatriots in what may have been one of the most violent battles in Wizarding Europe since The Battle of Hogwarts during the Second Wizarding War. With the Norwegian government citing the need for a ‘peacekeeping mission’ across Scandinavia, where the vast majority of the conflict between the Traditionalists and the Friends of Golovin has been taking place, many experts were quick to criticise the so called ‘peacekeeping mission’, stating that Norway’s entry into the rest of the region shows a clear disregard for the national interests of its fellow Scandinavian nations. Minister Dolusdotter had this to say during a press conference held outside of the Norwegian Ministry of Magic: “We hold heavy in our hearts the weight of today’s conflict, and will hold the blood wrought on Durmstrang stone on our hands forever. But it is my honest belief that for a safer nation, we must fight back against those who threaten our way of life, our beliefs, our virtues. Durmstrang marks an important step in ending this conflict, one that has set fire to Scandinavia.”

It is believed to be the intention of the Norwegian Minister to propose talks of a union between the nations of Scandinavia under one federalised entity to prevent this sort of conflict occurring again. When our International Correspondent James Giggle spoke with Minister Olav Jorgansen of Denmark – long noted supporter of Traditionalist groups within Denmark and Sweden –  he cited that ‘such a union can only bolster our nation’s resolve in these turbulent days’ and stated that ‘a joining of our nations under one banner, a renewed Wizarding Kalmar is the right thing to do to provide a thriving future for our children, and our children’s children’. Critics of the move are citing this as ‘Traditionalist propaganda’, but it has not stopped Ernest Bjorklund of the Swedish Ministry from speaking up in agreement, providing the Daily Prophet with his opinion that ‘Minister Styrvast must step forward and enter talks regarding this union, in the hopes that it will end the conflict in our nation, or he must step down from his position and allow someone else to do the job’. The Daily Prophet has yet to receive comment from Minister Styrvast.

War Correspondent Michael Mugstone found himself in the company of fleeing Friends of Golovin headed to a location undisclosed by the Daily Prophet for their safety. When speaking to them regarding the battle, they had this to say: ‘It was harrowing. We had to protect the younger students first. They destroyed the bridges out of the castle and stranded us in the walls. I remember that some of the Professors raised shields to protect the school, but there was like…a lightning against the barrier which split it apart, before this… I don’t know what it was, it was like smoke cutting through the sky. Some of the Professors joined the fight with us, some of them fought against us… I was with the Magical Creatures Professor… Styrkar Byrnesson? I don’t know what happened to him…’ When asked if she had any message for our readers, she said ‘Please, we need help. If we could just get Stangeland… Odinson here. He started this… He can… He has to help us.’

Elsewhere in Europe, Albania and Serbia saw a shake up of their Ministry staff as Clirimodius Mordushku and Drago Gvozdic won the seats of Minister of Magic in their respective home nations after a hard few months of campaigning. Already critics have risen against the election of Minister Gvozdic, with some stating that they were not able to vote against his election due to voter blockading committed by close aides and staff in the Serbian DMLE. There is as far as the Daily Prophet is aware no fact to these allegations, but things felt palpably tense within Serbia according to writers in the nation. Already Gvozdic and Mordushku have made sweeping moves within their parliaments, with Gvozdic offering direct aid to Romania with their Vampire problem, in a unique solution that has involved offering incentives towards the Vampires to move across borders into Serbia. Already several prominent members of the Vampiric Society of Romania have crossed into Serbian borders, though whether this will have a long-standing effect on the issues Romania has been facing is another question.

At the same time, Clirimodius Mordushku and Drago Gvozdic also brought their governments together for a discussion on the civil war happening in Scandinavia and how to prevent the conflict from spilling over into their nations. In a shock statement just last night, Clirimodius Mordushku stated to the Wizarding World ‘Albania will not be home to those who wish to bring conflict to our streets, to our houses, to our neighbourhoods. It will never be home for those who seek to bring us violence over peace’. Gvozdic’s own response to this was apparently in unilateral support, as the two nations have begun – in a shocking international move – to deport those with links to the Friends of Golovin, ridding them of their citizenship. Already there are reports coming in from Italy, France, Greece, Türkiye and Spain of Albanian and Serbian Wixen and Squibs cast from their homes, some reportedly to have no affiliation with the Friends, nor the conflict in general.

Across the pond, the Canadian and Mexican Ministries have recently joined the US Minister in their calls for inclusion into the Tri-Wizard Tournament. With Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft & Wizardry serving and teaching the population of North America – including Puerto Rico and Hawai’i – it is no wonder the rest of the nations of the continent have joined the Minister in their calls for a meeting. With few critics across the Atlantic, it remains to be seen how the Old World will take the request by the new to enter into the prestigious tournament, though apparently Castelobruxo and Koldovstoretz have both come forward as feeling ‘jilted’ by Ilvermorny, as it was apparently not 20 years prior that Castelobruxo suggested to the two other schools that a Tri-Wizard Tournament-esque competition would be good for their three institutes, with the United States and Mexico being the ones to vote against it. More news on the unfoldings in North America shortly.

Calls for International Intervention

Minister Shake-Up in Norway

Goblin Groans Continue in France

The Dark Mark Seen – What Does This Mean?!

Disaster strikes Scandinavia as the civil war continues to rage on. With the group known as ‘The Friends of Golovin’ seemingly fighting a losing battle against the Traditionalist forces of the Scandinavian peninsula. Just this last weekend an attack was held in Stockholm on the famous Trolddom Street by the Traditionalist forces, causing the deaths of twelve citizens believed to be of Muggle or mixed – Veela or Goblin – ancestry. Twenty five arrests have been made, with four remaining in Hospital for critical curse related injuries, though it is understood that once stabilised they too shall be arrested by the Traditionalist forces. Many in Europe have been decrying these arrests, as the German Ministry has spoken of proven acts of Danish Aurors bringing Swedish fugitives across the border to be tried and imprisoned on Danish land. German representative Einarr Hoffman had this to say to Daily Prophet International Correspondent Claxley Heath: “It is completely wrong, and the German Ministry – and as I understand it many of our neighbours in Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria – remain poised and ready to provide medical and diplomatic aid to those caught in the middle of this struggle.”

This sentiment isn’t necessarily shared in the rest of Europe however. Across the mountain border, newly elected Minister for Magic Ren Dolusdotter of Norway has taken a more direct action of her own. Speaking with the press in her first conference, the civil war in the rest of Scandinavia – one that has not quite reached Norway on account of swift action by the ruling parties in the Nation – was of course a hot topic of contention. Minister Dolusdotter had this to say on the subject: “Of course, we in Norway find it deeply troubling when the rest of the peoples of Scandinavia are struggling so. This conflict must come to an end, a status quo must be reached where life may return to normal. This is our primary objective, this is why we find ourselves in positions of power. If not to help the people, then what for?”

Soon after this press conference, Norwegian Auror forces were spotted on the borders of Sweden corroborating with Danish and Swedish Traditionalist forces. In a move tragically regarded by the International community as ‘expected’ – thanks to links between MInister Dolusdotter and countless other Traditionalist-linked politicians – it would appear that Norway is finally playing its hand in the region. Experts believe that the conflict will soon come to a close, with reports from inside of the region that Durmstrang, the source of the political discourse, is likely to fall within the coming weeks, if not days.

Of course, involvement in the conflict does not stop there, with many international forces being seen, volunteers fighting on both sides, though primarily on the sides of the Traditionalists, with forces from Italy, Russia, the Balkan nations and even Britain being present. When one such Scottish volunteer spoke with war correspondent Michael Mugstone, they had this to say: “We don’t care what the fight is, we just want to fight! If you’re asking for news about the scrap you’re best off talking to Menoetius! He’s in with the new Minister!”

In news closer to home, Goblin Silversmith Gordelain Geldigog has finally been released from St Mungos care. Despite sustaining many life changing wounds, Mr Geldigog has pulled through and now faces a life away from the crimes committed against him. Whilst the Artistic community mourns that this century’s greatest Silversmith will never create again, Gordelain remains thankful for St Mungo’s expert care, before bringing forth talks of returning to conversations regarding Gretreat, and stiffer laws at division between the two magical peoples. 

In Paris, just this week gone, further Goblin violence flared up in the capital of France, with the French Goblin community demanding control and secession of the French Gringotts branch, along with the granting of all magical communities within the French Riviera for the formation of their own state.

In Beauxbatons it is reported that the small number of Part-Goblin students have been experiencing a higher rate of bullying within its ranks, with some of them having to be withdrawn from school by concerned parents. Many are pointing at the Felicia Rouge Homeschooling advertised in Britain, with requests for an organisation like that to be set up in France to avoid this conflict. The French Ministry has refused to comment on this, but the Daily Prophet’s Goblin Correspondent Grock Gitzit has it on good authority that ‘tensions between Wixen and Goblin society could only be resolved if the Wixen Ministries would be happy to return the rights to the currency of our world to Goblinkind and to return to the status quo.’

Trouble across the pond has risen as a Statute of Secrecy breach was only barely contained by US Obliviators after a HideBehind attacked a Muggle ‘television’ crew who were ‘hunting for monsters in Appalachia’. Though the Obliviators were able to hide the majority of the damage, the HideBehind remains at large. Though the US Ministry has found itself far more wrapped up in the goings on across the pond in the Old World, with the conflict between Goblins and Wixen across France, and civil war in Scandinavia, the Dark Mark being seen above London but weeks prior has drawn America’s attention, with the US Minister demanding for international talks between all nations. It is of no surprise to some however that they have directly called for discussions between Scandinavia, France and Britain, and many believe that this is another ploy by the Minister to argue Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’s place within the upcoming Tri-Wizard Tournament, due to take place next year.

Hogwarts Announces New Head

The Hogwarts Board of Governors has announced Abaddon Blightly has been confirmed as Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The experienced witch is said to be thrilled to step into the pointy toed shoes that Aoife O’Keeffe left behind when returning to the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophies.

The Board of Governors have appointed long standing Ministry of Magic employee Angus Mairtfheòil as Deputy Headmaster. With a long and illustrious career at the Ministry behind him the wizard reportedly has the magical chops to withstand the slog of Hogwarts. However The Daily Prophet has heard of many raised eyebrows regarding another senior Ministry official being apparently planted into a high ranking role at the prestigious wizarding school, only adding to rumours that Soo likes to have his fingers in all the high ranking pies.

Time will tell if this duo manages to wrangle through a school year with no deaths, dismemberments, or devilry.

Spellfire in Godric’s Hollow

What began as a regular everyday morning in the carefully monitored and mixed community of Godrics Hollow quickly turned into a moment of chaos that severely threatened the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, followed by two arrests.

As a village that is welcoming to both Wixen and Muggles it’s not too uncommon for the residents to mingle with each other while our Wixen fellows are very careful when it comes to revealing their magical traits, so when an excitable American, Jane Smith, started filming the area for her “Tick Tock” and “Insta”, apart from a few eyebrows being raised – as this Muggle had no issues with drawing as much attention to herself as possible, there wasn’t a whole lot of suspicion or danger to the matter at first.

This rapidly changed when a local man, Timothy Burr, called her out for her activities. Burr moved on, but not before members of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes were alerted by the Head Auror and her Work Experience Student to the risk of possible breaches if Smith was left unchecked. The situation with Smith became only one of two incidents as it was not the last we would see of Burr given he turned his attention to another man who, investigators found out later on, was only a nomadic wizard passing through.

Shouting at the top of his voice, Burr proceeded to the nomadic wizard, Taylor Boswell, and out right accused him of selling him a cursed teapot set which was used to serve his future mother-in-law tea. It resulted in the unfortunate woman spending a great deal of time in St Mungos, and Burr himself excluded from the family and his engagement to be interrupted, if not dissolved entirely.

Boswell made attempts to wave off Burr, claiming he didn’t sell anyone any teapot sets, let alone cursed ones and tried to move on, only for Burr to draw out his wand and cast. Mind you, this is all happening only feet away from the slowly evolving situation with Smith and her recording camera. 

A duel, of sorts, broke out between the pair of wizards, with Burr attacking and Boswell attempting to keep such an aggressive man from coming at him. With DMLE already on the scene they were quick to react and spring into action, but some have to wonder how much help they were in the beginning? Though their intentions were undoubtedly well placed, our very own Head Auror and her Summer Work Experience Student came out with wands whipping about and spells being shouted for all to hear. 

If the DMLE’s shouting of various spells was not bad enough on its own, the pair wasted no time in potentially making a much bigger situation for DMAC as their spells missed both Burr and Boswell more often than not, sending them flying off into the distance. We know for sure at least one spell sent from Burr, intended for Boswell, struck an unsuspecting Muggle on her way home from the Corner Shop when a spell of his also missed, Merlin only knows where the badly aimed spells from the DMLE ended up?

Eventually spells did start to connect, both Burr and Boswell were arrested and taken off for further investigation, and by that point DMAC had also arrived on scene with their newly appointed Department Head leading the charge to fix the mess left behind. There is no word yet on the duel between the two wizards, or even if the accusations against nomadic Boswell were accurate, but if nothing else this is a story to remind everyone: Be mindful of what you purchase!

Diagon Alley in Panic – Dark Omen for Wizarding World?

With the reopening of Green’s Apothecary (Formerly Slug and Jigger) on Diagon Alley and the plentiful games and enjoyment to be found one might have thought that the reopening would have been lauded a success, were it not for the dark omen that rose above the skies of London in the latter half of the event. 

Eye witness reports state a student of Hogwarts was taken ill in the Alley itself, with a number of other students coming to their aid in an attempt to administer some form of first aid. However, moments after their recovery a dark streak of smoke covered the sky – a telltale mark of Dark Wizards, once used by those in the close circle of He Who Must Not Be Named. What this means for the Wizarding World is unclear, but the sight of the Dark Wizard’s actions was found rather quickly by eyewitnesses, who state that there was some sort of conflict at Greyhaven Close off of Knockturn Alley. 

Greyhaven Close – a Wixen-only cul-de-sac just off of Knockturn Alley permanently enshrouded by an old magical rainstorm – was the site of what appears to be a rather brutal attack, with part of a building blown apart by some powerful magic. At the scene was a House Elf and one student whose name was not revealed to the Daily Prophet. It would appear that both are unharmed, however the House Elf in particular seems to have experienced some form of shock, as they often do in times of conflict.

Speaking with a St Mungo’s representative, they had this to say about the student in their custody: “Whilst we cannot at this time reveal their identity nor disclose the status of their condition, St Mungo’s wants everyone to know that we are here to care for all of our patients, no matter for how long. This individual will be given the world class care that St Mungo’s is known for. That is a promise.”

When prompted with the question as to whether the victim would make a full recovery, St Mungo’s commented. “We will see, but it is not likely.”

What does this mean for the Wizarding World? With some more hysterical members of our world shouting about the return of He Who Must Not Be Named, what really happened in Greyhaven Close that day? Only time shall tell…

Madness at Madame Miggles’

Late Thursday evening what can only be described as a “Muggle-esk Brawl” broke out between two full grown wizards who, by all accounts, appeared to be fighting over the same witch. 

As Hogsmeade locals and visitors warped up their shopping for the day, many of them were given an unexpected front row seat to this most unlikely love triangle. Law Enforcement were not required on the scene, as it would seem the two men tired themselves out, but various stories from witnesses on the street suggest that one man, who was described as a half-goblin from multiple accounts, came storming out of Madame Miggles’ in a rage about some other man who had been seen with a woman he had supposedly proposed to.

When the second man in question approached the half-goblin, who himself looked like he might actually pass as the son of a Hag, the story took on quite an unusual twist. Apparently he had also proposed! An odd dynamic for a love triangle perhaps, but we don’t judge! This woman, although lucky enough to have two males attempting to ask for her hand in marriage, never made an appearance in the street and is still a mystery to us.

In the end, both the males went their separate ways and Hogsmeade was spared the embarrassment that Godrics Hollow had to endure only days before.

My question to you all is this: Assuming sons of Hags are a thing and the Hag won’t eat the flesh of their own son, who would you choose? The Hag’s son, or the half-goblin? Or will you add yet another twist to this drama-filled love triangle and go for the witch, too?

Scandalous Hot-Shots! 

Hot on the heels of the 2030 Quidditch World Cup, fans are overjoyed – or devastated depending on your point of view – by the news floating around.

Officially broken here first; The news of an engagement between Appleby beater Turlough Parsons and Scotland National Team Jockie McEachern! 

Hearts shatter across the land as the well known and loved Parsons finally makes the difficult move to settle down and leave his days of playing the field behind. Figuratively, of course! Many fans are wondering just how well this union will go, and how long it will last when throughout the duration of the entire World Cup Parsons was seen spending extended time with a number of women across the professional teams, including both captains!

Time will tell how well this engagement goes, but one thing is for sure, in a world full of troubles, it is nice to get some good news!

In other news, Parsons was not the only one working his way through the ladies at the Quidditch World Cup. 

Perhaps there is something going on in the minds of the German team’s male players? 

Caryxander Mordushku, beater for Pride of Portree, wasted no time in spending around six hundred galleons in a single night of bidding during the second of two auction events put on by the Department of Magical Games and Sports. Not only does this set its own record of the most amount of galleons spent in a single night on dates, it also comes very close to beating Parsons’ top number of feminine interests, which at present we are topping at five!

Unlike his fellow beater, it is currently unknown what, if any, love interests or engagements Mordushku may or may not have. That aside, surely the Department of Magical Games and Sports are beyond thrilled to have those galleons, and are eager to have him attend other events.
