| I Saw PAD Kissing Santa Claus!
By Someone-who-must-not-be-named-and-doesn't-want-detention I thought that the only woman I'd catch kissing Santa Claus would be my mom, but I was wrong! I had also caught our very own Headmistress Professor Alba Dumbledore kissing the holly, jolly fellow! It seemed like the two were well acquainted with each other, as if they were old friends, or even possibly, ex-girlfriend and boyfriend! What could this incident possibly mean? This reporter would just hope that Santa Claus wouldn't put this reporter's name on his 'Naughty' list for next Christmas. It's a reporter's job to report such things, you know! |
| Have You Heard?
by Summer Levy Have you heard? Those voices...the rhythm...the faint resonance...Have you heard them? A stroll through the corridors can lead to wonders, as I have quickly discovered. But that mysterious rhythm, no one could've not heard it. As I went to inquire more on this noise, it had mysteriously ceased, as if the sound maker knew that I was coming. What was so secretive about this anyway? Was there even a need to keep this sound a secret? Each time I'm in the corridors and I hear this, I can never catch who was the producer of such a musical catastrophe. Did this person mean to cause an uproar and spark an interest for others to inquire more on this music? If so, I can say for sure, this person has achieved that. |

| Top-Secret Club
By Jenii Chang Someone recently stated that we need more staff-based clubs. The club I'm about to tell you about is top-secret. That means you can't tell anyone. It is the DA or Dumbledore's Army. It is currently located in the Room of Requirement. It goes on fun top-secret missions, too secretive to tell you about here. Be sure to check it out. You don't want to miss the fun. Oh ya, and if you tell anyone about this message, I will deny it and will not be held reliable if you get stuck in a crazy asylum. |
| A Wedding, You Say?
I�m sure you�ve all heard about the �wedding� of Hufflepuff�s very own Amanda Dasaro and Kamron Flame. If not you should really check it out, as it seems wherever there�s Huff�s there�s sure to be some drama around. So I, your Ever Anonymous Reporter, have taken it upon myself to interview the happy couple and see if there was more to the story than what we already know. Here�s what happened when I sat down with them: Reporter: So how do you two feel about getting married? Amanda: we kind of got sucked into it. Kamron: Yes we did� Reporter: Oh really? By who? Some evil Slytherin? Amanda: Yeah I think. Kamron: Rye Amanda: Yeah Ryana that�s who. *At this point in the interview the bride suddenly got up and ran off as Professor Pendragon approached� I�m not exactly sure why but I suspect it had something to do with the fact that a large grin appeared on the groom-to-be�s face. So naturally, I continued on with the interview.* Professor Pendragon: Ack! Why am I surrounded by puffs?! Reporter: Well I�m conducting and interview, and I believe Kamron is secretly in love with you. Professor Pendragon: ARGH! Reporter: Well you asked... Professor Pendragon: You could have lied. Reporter: Oh no, I only do that when it�s more fun than the truth... *At this point we were joined by Linda Danes of Gryffindor* Professor Pendragon: Help Linda I think this reporter is out to give me nightmares, she told me Kamron's in love with me *shivers and then gags* Kamron: Hey I�m not that bad! Linda: *giggles* He's in love with everyone! Reporter: *makes a note on her pad* Kamron: Plus I have a wife to be� Professor Pendragon: Poor wife to be.... I think she needs to head to a healer. Reporter: So Kamron, what do you think of your wife to be? Kamron: This is craziness. Reporter: Crazy hmm? *adds to her notes* Kamron: Hey I didn�t say that! Reporter: Ok next question! Rumor has it that you've been seen around a lot with a certain Professor... Are you sure you�re marrying the right person? Kamron: Uhh maybe. Professor Pendragon: Hey now! Don't bring me into this! Reporter: Are you going to get to the alter and change your mind Kamron? then dash away with your favorite professor? Kamron: Yes I may do that� Reporter: Even with the famous Professor Lockhart sitting to watch the ceremony? Professor Pendragon: *mutters* I�d turn him into dragon food before he tries. Kamron: *looks fearfully at the professor* No� no I won�t do that. Reporter: *after an awkward moment of silence and more quill scratching* Well what do you think about broom closets then? Kamron: I�m going to lock Yalva and Amanda in there and run away� then they can fight to the death for me and I�ll let the winner out next week. Professor Pendragon: I�d rather fight for Lockhart! Reporter: *starts jotting again* Professor Pendragon: NO QUOTING ME ON THAT! Reporter: Sure thing professor, moving on� if there was another couple from Hogwarts that you could put in your place to get married who would it be? Kamron: Zoey and Ron Reporter: *chokes* Professor Pendragon: Are you alright? Reporter: Yes... yes I�ll be alright, so what do you think of the wedding colors and decorations Kamron? Kamron: What are they? Reporter: I�m asking the questions here! Professor Pendragon: His own wedding and he doesn't know the colors or decorations how sad� Reporter: Hmm alright then, well with your track record with the girls around the castle are you sure your marrying the right one? I mean, how do you know you wouldn�t rather be with someone like the professor here? Professor Pendragon: I DON"T WANT KAM! That's like dating a slug with lips! Reporter: Well alright then, thank you for the interview and good luck with the wedding! What this reporter has concluded from the interview: 1. Need to investigate further into exactly who all Kam IS in love with. 2. Kamron thinks Amanda�s crazy� though she is getting ready in a broom closet 3. This is a wedding fiasco just waiting to happen! 4. They are so getting a divorce� I give them three months tops. 5. Professor Pendragon is secretly in love with Professor Lockhart!?!? 6. Should really find out what slug lips look like one day. * Upon further investigation of my first conclusion I�ve been able to dig up the current list of females that Kamron likes. - Lilac (Penshire) - Isabella Malfoy (Hufflepuff) - Linda Danes (Gryffindor) - Maya Parker (Hufflepuff) - Zoey Taylor (Hufflepuff) - Amanda Dasaro (Hufflepuff) - Kiley Blaire (Slytherin) - Ryana Cartenich (Hufflepuff) - Flowershine Stone (Hufflepuff) - Professor Pendragon Heh� poor girls. Well that�s it for now, until next time remember to keep your ears open. |

| The Yule Ball
By Anonymous Astrid. It�s that time again folks, that time of year where we all break out our dancing shoes and dancing robes. The Yule Ball is once again upon us. And frankly I am excited! I have my new dress picked out, my mask for the themed dance and a pair of relatively comfy shoes. The only problem I have is my date. I want to change it. I was told not to fear however as there is a Cupid-In-The-Making, pairing people up. The latest victim from what I can tell is Hufflepuff Prefect Zoey Taylor and her fellow Prefect Ron Weasley. Now there is a surprise! I never thought I would see the day. I wonder what Roger Davies will say? That�s not the most surprising this year however, the Penshire Prefect Pair, Sephiroth and Shalamar Magoo will NOT be going to the ball together. Rumors are circulating that the pairs relationship may be on the rocks. Which can only mean one thing, soon enough the pair might not be a pair anymore. Have some people their hopes up? I should think so. But my money is on the two staying together. After all, what else could we call them? �There goes the Penshire Prefect & mate� .. No I don�t think so. Penshire Prefect Pair goes much nicer. Penshire seems to be the couple house this month. It seems Shalamar and Sephiroth aren�t the only couple in the house. Senior Prefect, Samuel Craft is currently going to the dance with Prefect Assistant Bry Casten. The two have arrived at school functions together since sometime last year, but they have never publicly announced their relationship as exclusive. Now, new student Avery Montana seems to have a thing for the Senior Prefect. Could his love be swayed? Maybe! I think Bryony Casten�s love can definitely be swayed, the other day I spotted her with the Penshire Prefect Pair in Hogsmeade with another boy. A Slytherin I believe. I wonder what Mr. Craft has to say on the matter� Mr. Kamron Flame had previously agreed to take Head Girl Ava Black to the dance but decided against it several days before the dance, instead he asked another Penshire, Lilac Brown. The two make a nice pair might add, even more surprising rumor has it Ava Black didn�t spend too long dwelling on the crash and burn date issue and found herself someone else. A new boy by the name of Mortimer. Well, that�s enough drama for one night. I hope to keep you all updated next month, keep an eye out for my gossip after the dance. Until then, it�s been a pleasure. |

| Who is it?
By LoV and MoD As I walk my way through this school, I find myself more often confronted by questions like� 'Who is MoD?' Now I am here, should I say, we are here to put this to an end and give you a little insight of who is the person behind the pseudonym MoD. As you may think, MoD is not my real name� nor is this a second character of mine. It's just my way of guaranteeing my anonymity. Yes, it might occur weird to you as a reader that there actually is someone not wanting to give away their name when writing something for the OG, but it's for my own safety since I tend to write about things, no one dares to write about while being mentioned in any kind of way. You can say that this is some kind of mission I am on: shedding light on the mysteries concerning Hogwarts and its students, staff members and Professors of any sort. Though, you might not notice this entirely but I also have a partner in crime. There, it's out in the open. Straight forward and head on. But it won't help you much, as this partner of mine only takes on another name, pseudonym like I said, as LoV. So as much as you now have me, you also have another. Even more, this article is not written purely narrated by myself, but also by LoV. But there is no indication of when the latter stops, and the former starts. So what is the purpose of this particular article? It could be to let you know that you'll now have two to watch out for, instead of a single one. It could possibly mean that there will be more now to look out for, such as secrets or little things like that. Things like that catch our eyes, push us to write these articles, and tempt students to find out just who we possibly are. This is what we are on the hunt for: LoV will look out for potential couples and such, just so you know, Mr. Flame of Hufflepuff, beware of LoV! The same goes with Hyde, as I know from one of my well hidden sources that he tends to get attracted to certain female students around here�though I am not able to confirm this entirely. But be sure that LoV will have an eye on you, Hyde. My partner will also look out for all the weird happenings around here and of course our other Professors won't get along that easily. The one called LoV will know what you are doing. As for my person, I will continue to look out for mysteries concerning the castle in general, secret missions wherever I go, and anything suspicious catching my eye. So, don't start to feel save, as LoV and MoD have their eyes and ears all over the castle, from the tallest tower down to the darkest dungeon. And everywhere in between. You better watch yourself, else you will find yourself being mentioned at the OG next time. To reassure further rumors about us: yes, we are students of one of the houses here at Hogwarts�though which one will stay our little secret. And yes, some of you may remember me telling that I was a Gryffindor, but also remember: I need to stay anonymous, so why should I give away my true house to any of you? The same goes with LoV � and we like it the way it is. And a little side note before we actually do leave, if you have any other information regarding secret missions or love affairs, you can always contact either one of us at [email protected] and [email protected] H asta luego! |

| Spongebob at Hogwarts.
By:Kamron Well once again here I am telling you about random things that happen here at Pads Hogwarts. Today I was at the lake and found a boat so I made my way into the water on this boat and found out that there are many things under the lake at this school. Spongebob was one of those things I went under the water with my charms to keep me from dieing and when I came up I was yellow and I had 2 crappypattys in my hands. So what happened I don�t no but if you want to find out you better get moving and go for a swim in the lake. |

| Hello anyone home ?
By:Kamron Well once again I was walking around Pads looking for something to do. When I came a across a room, I could hear people inside the room. But ya when I walked in nope nothing at all, No people, Nothing was even in the room. The Ghost were around well I keep on walking around when I seen The Bloody Baron Yes The Bloody Baron and well I walked up to him and said "Where you the person talking in a room back there ?"He didn�t say anything and then after I blinked he was gone. After walking for a long time I went back to my Common room and then I seen a room there and people were talking but once again I walk in and nothing was there. So I gave up and went to bed wondering was anyone ever in those rooms ? Or was I going crazy ? |

| Is it one or two?
By MoD Is it just me or did you notice that, too? Professor Snape and Professor Guildhall seem to be�I wouldn't say similar, but more alike than one might see while taking a first look at them. You might ask what it is that I discovered, and I will tell you the shocking news. Maybe the news are not quite as shocking for you as they were for me, because I happen to realize this little fact just a few days ago. In fact I have been asked if I knew anything about this special case�.and I had to admit, that this was indeed something new to me. As I already stated, this is about Professor Snape and Professor Guildhall. The question I ask you is: Are they two different persons or are the both of them ONE AND THE SAME? After I heard of this for the first time, I tried to find out if it's true because obviously this subject has been discussed before. So I went up to the Newsroom of the Owl Gazette to get the old copies of the newspaper but once they found out what I was searching for, they refused to give me the copies. So I was left to find out by myself. What leads me to suspect both Professors to be one person? Well, first of all I have never seen them in the same room at the same time, which is quite odd, since there must be a time when both of them are there at the same time. Second, they have both a 'weird' way of saying thank you. It's thank-you with them and as this is something special, it leads me to suspect them being one. Third, it's odd that only our dear Professor Snape gave us students the possibility to contact him privately (via yahoo messenger), although it would be easy for Professor Ripley to give us students the same opportunity. Our Headmistress once told us, that Professor Ripley was her sister, and as such you actually talk to each other, whether on the phone or at the same room. But have you ever heard her saying anything about Professor Snape? Like him being her brother? Well, I haven't, and as such it is quite surprising to hear that the both of them actually talk on the phone, too. So, how is it possible that Professor Ripley Guildhall and Professor Severus Snape are the same person? Well, maybe either of them use the Polyjuice Potion to change into the other. Maybe Snape wants to give his 'nice' side arty by switching into a woman, or Professor Guildhall secretly enjoys being a Slytherin? Who knows? However, if you know anything about it, whether if it's true or not, please PM me or send me an e-owl to [email protected]. In the meantime don't go ahead to ask them if it's true. I doubt that they will tell you the truth. |
| Roger missing again?
By Shal Magoo This is an urgent appeal to the student of Hogwarts. A dear Penshire student, one you all know so well and love - not to mention adore - Roger has gone missing! There are fears that his gossip column featured in the Wizard Digest (Printed Monthly and available at all good newsagents) has caused as stir among the Death Eaters. Or is it a certain Hufflepuff Prefect? There were rumours circulating recently about a closet trip between the Hufflepuffs Senior Prefect and Mr. Davies, funnily enough around the time he went missing. Could there be students jealous around the castle? Or maybe Miss Taylor didn�t like Roger having dozens of adoring fans? (I know how you feel!!) His fellow students fear for his life and wonder when their most famous and handsome (his words folks, not mine) will return. The house is missing him terrible, without him asking us to bow down all the time, we don�t know what to do. If you spot him or know anything of his whereabouts, please contact a member of staff so the Penshire Cranes can put their minds to rest. Thank you for your time! |
