Abigail Brick, Where Art Thou?

By: Everhardt Lovegood

(Knockoff Alley, 5 July) In a moment of high drama clearly staged for the benefit of two reporters present at the Troll’s Head on the evening of 4 July, several tavern regulars and other assorted layabouts got together a little show centered around impugning the reputation of one Abigail Brick, said (by them) to be a “dark witch.”

Earthquake Delays Quidditch Tryout

By: Everhardt Lovegood

(Oahu, 5 July) Quidditch tryouts began this week with something literally earthshaking, when the Quidditch Pitch along with the rest of the Greater Hogwarts area was roiled by a major earthquake that occurred at approximately 3:00 p.m. SLT on Thursday 5 July. The temblor struck just as tryouts for the Gryffindor House team were getting started, and knocked out all utility services on Oahu (which is home to Hogwarts School and the Quidditch Pitch). Hearing of our plight, however, sympathetic residents of a nearby land generously permitted the entire Quidditch Pitch to be magically relocated to their domain so that tryouts could continue.

Blane’s Greatest Charm; Will we see it Soon?

By: Incompertus Scriptor

Everyone knows that back in the 1600’s the Wizard Balfour Blane founded the Committee on Experimental Charms to deal with a spate of new spells. What many do not know is that Blane was a constant tinkerer and experimenter himself, and that he created a host of powerful charms he decided were not safe for public use.

Murmurings and Mutterings

By: Everhardt Lovegood

One of the Leaky Cauldron regulars approached me earlier this week to protest a story titled “PROTECT YOUR GIRLS– STOCK UP ON SILVER BULLETS!” that the Quibbler had run in last week’s edition under the byline “A Concerned Parent.” The gist of that story had been that there is a werewolf in the vicinity of the School who preys on young girls, and that more should be done to protect the children, etc. etc. — a sentiment which should have raised few eyebrows.

Broome Sweeps Dungeons Clean

By: Everhardt Lovegood

This Saturday last, Arithmacy Professor Broome led an intrepid troop of junior aurors to the dungeons for a top-secret mission of which the Quibbler is your exclusive source. Prof. Broome and his rosy cheeked companions went to the lowest level of the Hogwarts dungeon, there to do battle with the sinister engorged Man-Eating Frog that has inhabited the School from time immemorial. Reportedly, the Frog had imbibed old discarded potions and had consequently grown to gargantuan proportions in the dark, dank dungeon. Armed only with their wands and a few magical crackers, the crack team of youngsters, coached by Prof. Broome managed to corral said amphibian.

According to a certain Hufflepuff first year who was an eye-witness to these events, “It turns out it was just a Welsh Gilly Toad…but it had got into some old engorgement potions or some such. They stunned it into passivity with the crackers, and didn’t even hurt it. Now…once its got an antidote and some curing, the Gryffindors are gonna adopt it. Aside from a few warts, everyone is fine!”

Quibbler Kudos to Professor Broome!

By: A Concerned Parent

Rumors have been flying all over Hogwarts campus about werewolves since the blue moon, and it turns out that more that half of them are true!
