| News and Happenings in Hogwarts! The information you will be reading in this section in each Witch Weekly issue was passed to us by an insider of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This student wished to remain anonymous. You all have heard about the grand school of Hogwarts, which is one of the greatest Wizarding schools that ever existed. We will inform you of the current Professors teaching there and some gossip about the students and happenings in there. So, if you have relatives or your own children going in there, make sure to not miss every Witch Weekly issue as you will find more news about this school. This school was once ran by Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the only wizard that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named fears. That is why Hogwarts was always a safe place for students from all over the world to spend 7 school years there to study and get ready to fight and defence themselves against dark happenings outside their school. You all know that You-Know-Who had yet risen again, and so it has been important more than ever that one will study in that school. Dumbledore stepped aside as Headmaster and took the job of the Ministry of Magic, as all the Wizarding Community wanted him to do. There is now his sister Alba Dumbledore as Headmistress and we can assure you that she is as brilliant, cunning and brave as Albus Dumbledore himself. In the present Hogwarts, one will find 5 Houses instead of 4 Houses like in Albus' time. The 5 th house is Penshire and its founder is Pandora Penshire. The student who passed me this information didn't wish to tell me how this 5th House was found and who was exactly Pandora Penshire. It seemed that Alba Dumbledore had forbidden them to do anything of that sort. Something that amazed me to the full is the activities and fun in there, apart from having a very strict education. Alba Dumbledore along with her staff came up with a new sports for the students. It is Broomstick Racing and I was told that in January 2006 the 2 nd season started off and will continue for 5 months. Isn't that cool? Alba changed some things in the system, maybe because of the increase in students from year to year. There are now 2 Prefects in each house and it was said that Peeves is also allowed in the common rooms now as well. I hope that he's behaving. For you who never heard of Peeves�He is a very naughty and mischievous Poltergeist who is always putting pranks on students and even Professors. He can only be controlled by the Slytherin's ghost which is the Bloody Baron. But he shows respect to Alba and Albus Dumbledore and he tries to be sweet at them, even if it means that he is mocking them. So, if I were to receive an invitation for that school for my children, I will warn them of this Poltergeist and to try and keep away from him. I wonder why Alba let him to stay in that Castle. I am going to conclude this article here. I hope that you parents and relatives of children attending Hogwarts liked this idea about this section.
