[atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=width,450] LOVE IN THE AIR THE HOGWARTS SOCIAL BALL Well fellow gossipers this year yours truly had the privilege of receiving an invite to none other then the Hogwarts Social Ball! Always a fabulous event I’m sure we all agree, with those bright eyed young starlets to the Professors and fellow socialites. Dressed in my finest glad rags (for which I must thank Madam Malkin for her canny stitching skills) this reporter was armed for a night of frivolity. And you certainly won’t be disappointed readers! Let’s start with the dresses shall we. My personal highlights were the young Weasley daughter sporting a drop dead gorgeous pale blue number. (and we all know how hard it is to pull off red hair this season) I’m sure daddy wouldn’t have approved at all, her fellow students however seemed bewitched - isn’t it always the way girls? Lets hope the dress didn’t cripple the Weasley funds, we can’t wait to see what she’s got install next. The infamous Harry Potter was looking stunningly dapper! He spent the evening surrounded by a stream of girls vying for his attention and certainly seemed to be enjoying himself. Potter was seen dancing rather heatedly with a foreign beauty my sources tell me is called Eden Russo. Is love in the air for our boy wonder? It seems the cute little boy who lived is growing into quite the playboy! He was certainly the chosen one with the ladies last night. I for one can’t wait for Mr. Potter’s exploits to hit the tabloids. Lock up your daughters. Much to my surprise even the ever elusive Professor Snape (whom I’m sure we’d all like to get a peek of out of those robes) beguiled in a suit. Keep up the good job Severus it’s definitely working! Whether this change in the lovably stoic Professor was to catch some fine witches eye (dare you hope it’s you readers?) we can only speculate, but he undoubtedly got more then he bargained for. With that lets move onto the entertainment. The Weird Sisters were absolutely out shone this event. Love was definitely in the air! Apparently the punch was spiked with a love potion of all things (one has to wonder is Dumbledore letting discipline slip in his old age?). But how much of this is an excuse we have to ask ourselves readers? Charity Burbage (Professor at Hogwarts, muggle awareness protestor and wife to Fabien Burbage) certainly seemed at home in the arms of none other then Severus Snape! Love potions are one thing gossipers, but there’s some chemistry even magic can’t feign and those two had fireworks. But what of poor Fabien? I for one would be happy to offer him a shoulder to cry on. And I’m sure you readers wouldn’t mind if he was back on the market. Only time can tell, but you can bet your socks this savvy reporter will keep her eyes peeled! Auror Nympadora Tonks (daughter of that other Black sister – do you remember her? Neither do we. Any press is press darling readers) was also seen getting cosy with St. Mungo’s worker Alex Garett (a new comer but I’ll let you into a little secret readers I think we’ll be seeing a lot more about that dark horse in this gossip column). Sources report Nympadora ‘tripped’ ontop of him, oh how many times I’ve tried that myself gossipers – sure fire way to a first date. But don’t despair gossipers! While the party was the scene for many new blossoming loves and some scandals I’m sure we’ve not yet seen the end of there’s still many singletons and bachelors out there waiting. I was certainly shocked to see Aurora Sinister (a caramel beauty) and one of the new entrepreneur twin Weasley’s (who I’m told could be a very rich man by the end of the financial year) without a date for the evening. Better act fast readers! Til Next Time Gossipites! Vera Stone Out.

HOGWARTS MAYHEM. ATTACK OR PRANK?

When Albus Dumbledore Order of Merlin First Class, declared the first Hogwarts Social ball we all thought it an ideal way to bring the pupils of the four houses together. The idea -although contemporary- was throwing away the ancient traditions of the schools founders and was bringing a new social order to the school. As we have come to know when it comes to Hogwarts events things never run smoothly. We have previously seen this in the Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament, where pupil Cedric Diggory was killed and Potter (now acclaimed chosen one) is thought to have survived his second encounter with He Who Must Not Be named. A very potent and dangerous love potion was unleashed upon the students and professors. Was it work of a dark wizard? Or a Hogwarts joke gone wrong? We have yet to gather the full details. It is clear, however that Hogwarts avoided what could have been a dangerous infiltration as the effects of love potions are notorious for causing turmoil among wizards and witches as their obsessions grow.

It was noted in particular by one of our reporters the love triangle that emerged between the Professors Sybill Trelawney (phoney seer), Charity Burbage (known muggle rights activist) and Severus Snape (Ex-potions Professor now Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor). It was however unclear if the triangle was one caused by the love potion or in fact a real life lovers quarrel. Professor Burbages distaste for her younger beautiful daughter Moria Burbage(pictured above) was certainly noted; perhaps the professor should pass the baton on gracefully rather than continue to fight for the spotlight.

Harry Potter, Chosen One declined us for an interview during the events, however we did notice a possible budding romance between Potter and one Ginny Weasley, who seemed to spend some time together. We hope our chosen one isn’t becoming distracted from the mission he was entrusted with from birth.

Some interesting fashions have sprouted from the Ball and we have listed above some of our favourite outfits of the night!
