Hello, darlings.
You’re looking at the scroll in your hand, which just happened to land in front of your goblet this morning, or if you’re one of those clever technical wizards, you’ve found this webpage just won’t close. I’m sure you’re horribly confused, so why don’t I clear things up.
Hi, Hogwarts. I’m Miss Monger, the best friend you will have during your stay in Hogwarts. A little about me? I used to be like you, content to duck my head and hide from any confrontation or risks, surrounding myself with friends to shield me from any hurt. But here’s a little lesson in life from you – friends aren't real when you’re a teenager. You’ll soon find that everyone around you has a secret, an opinion, a history that will destroy you, and they’ll always choose to take you down before going down themselves.
So consider me your new best friend. Because I see all, hear all, and I’m oh so dreadful at keeping secrets. And you can guarantee I’m too honest for your own good.
And who are the victims of these truths, these uncovered findings? Everyone – because don’t you try calling those whose name comes out in print the victim. Their victims will come clear enough when the truth is set free.
Any observant Hogwarts student with a head for statistics and a mind for probabilities might have worked out, by now, that not every halfbreed can be gone from Hogwarts halls. Miss Monger has a going tally of at least three students in Hogwarts walls that are hiding their moony afflictions, blood lust, or devilish charms from the Ministry and from our lovely Headmistress. Rumor has it that turning in such a person might make one very fortunate indeed. It’s curious to see whose friendships aren’t stronger than Ministry rewards. Our sources tell us the Ravens are clean, but to look for a snake, a badger, AND a lion on this one.
On to petty news,little playboy M. Cuffe seems to have gotten himself a new girlie friend, according to one of our shorter sources. Cuffe and his little friend, Miss Tristan L., got nice and indiscrete in the library. We wonder how Cuffe’s little gaggle of girlfriends will take this. And how Little Miss T plans on taking them all on.
On the topic of heated… a few months back saw the start of a lovely rivalry between Natalie George and the Wrath Queen, Aurora Daniels. We are sorry to announce that nothing new on that front has happened – but we would be willing to pay for someone to get things moving again. GossipMonger has never thought a temper was very ladylike, and that’s why we would like to issue a formal request for information on the Wrath Queen. A few galleons might tempt you, we hope. And Natalie, we’re all behind you. We love an underdog, as long as she’s not swathed in venom.
We have a special request for the muggleborn heartbreaker of one Miss Ally Nott to step forward. We got word from the girl herself, though she did not know we were listening of course, that her pureblood ways may be less Rightful Obligation and more Odd Revenge. It seems little miss purebloods heart was not quite as pure as her ideals. I wonder what her friends would think of her ex-boyfriend. We’ve all had that one boyfriend we didn’t want anyone to know about, right Miss Nott?
Speaking of stood-up sagas, it seemed Katie Knight lost her Cupid, and turned, instead, to the comfort of self harm. GossipMonger never promotes such tactics, so we thought it right to call her out so she might get the attention she deserves. Also, don’t forget ladies, the bathroom walls echo.
Moving from tales of Break Ups to tales of Get Downs - SPOTTED : Our favorite Pauper Charming, Ducky Baker, straddling and being straddled by one Ellery Dixon on the Quidditch field. Make of it what you will, but GossipMonger saw what we saw.
With graduation approaching, news on our recent graduates have come to a head. Our lovely seventh years are looking forward to life without school bells and potions essays with bright eyes and hopeful hearts – that is, of course, true for all but one exception. Princess Potter disappeared from the nose of our esteemed Headmistress earlier in the year and news has finally made it back. Our princess is alive, if not well, and seems to have gone from contender for Valedictorian to Remedial Student in a matter of months. The big question is whether or not she will show her face at graduation. If not, though, don’t fret. You’ll get to see her next year. Second time around should be better, yes Princess LP?
Oh, and lastly, word has reached GossipMonger that a familiar face might be returning. One much missed and beloved by all of Hogwarts. E. Dixon (the raven, not aforementioned duck-dater) and V.V. will especially pleased, of our sources are correct. Let’s only hope that our little Finch reaches us before the school year closes.
Oh, look at that, I have better things to do now. Until next time. All the love I have.
Your Best Friend,
Miss Monger

OOC Stuff : GossipMonger is to promote PA plotting, not to out your characters on big stuff. They can always fight off the rumors, etc, but this is not an attack on characters, but an advertisement, if you will, of the goings on of Hogwarts.
Things can end up on GossipMonger 1 of 3 ways. 1. You submit true information about your character to my PM box (Plotting NPCs 2). 2. You submit information your character has on another character, or FALSE information they are hoping to spread. These false stories will be given a warning on GM that they may not be confirmed. 3. I find the information in open threads or posted somewhere that might be overheard – I will be realistic. Obviously, I’ll respect the privacy if they are in a broom closet, but if they are openly talking in a hallway that hasn’t been described as abandoned, it’s fair game!
If something is posted on GM that you don’t want on there – maybe the timing is not ripe, just PM me. I’ll take it down. But look for these as an opportunity for your character to overcome adversity.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed it!
