An ill-conceived notion of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore has pressed esteemed young witches and wizards of opposing, even rival houses into close quarters with each other. Those private, almost secret lives that used to be lead behind closed doors, away from those who might be willing to do harm, are now bare for the dearest of enemies to see. It has hit perhaps as striking a blow as the betrothal orders of months past, this rearrangement of housing. Never fear, however, if you think you have it worst, dear student. It can be assured that there is one case, one special circumstance that will not only interest you, but also assuage your fear of being the one with the worst end of this bargain. What can be said, for the pairing of Mister B, and Mister R? Of course, being that it is particularly obvious one word will always apply to a relationship between the houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalry does not even encompass all that it should in this set. Misters B and R have, or so it appears to this young witch, one thing in particular to play a spectacular game of tug-of-war with. What is this, this key to creating havoc and chaos, not unity at all? A girlfriend and a betrothal, and Miss M is willingly one to B, while forced to be the other to R.Imagine, rooming with the being stealing your significant other away, be it by force or by ruling of the heart, both these boys have very significant claims over M. What is to happen, with them shoved together, forced to dwell within the same room? Scheming, what else? I have it straight from a truly reliable source that Mister R simply isn't to stand for his future wife gallivanting about with a bloke such as B. Ambitious move, conspiring against this tried and very true couple, but should anyone be successful at an ambitious endeavor it would be imagined R, and his friend Mister G, could. Could it be that the two cunning Slytherin's spent a time reveling in plans to come between this bond of B and M's tucked away at the Hog's Head, just previous? It could, and it might. But, that's a source I won't soon be disclosing. Keep your eyes peeled, students of Hogwarts, should you ever be in need of a reminder that you don't have it the worst in all this turmoil. Look to Misters B & R, and their tug-rope, Miss M. You, in all honesty, could not have it worse. For further reminder, and perhaps a few good laughs among friends, because not all of this terrible arrangement is quite so terrible, have another look at the 'improved' housing list, and be grateful we at least have our Quid. teams yet. Aisling Meadowes, to be housed with Lily Evans and that should be quite entertaining. Alessandra White, penned in with Alice Logan. Andy McLaughlin to be at the mercy of Leonidas Goyle, another fantastic Gryffindor-Slytherin pair that one, if you ask this witch. Arabella Avery with Corra Morrigan, and poor Dorian Graves boarding with James Potter. Emmeline Vance, recently betrothed to Leonidas Goyle shall be staying in the striking presence of Miss Rita Skeeter, while Evan Rosier and Sirius Black try terribly hard to play nice. Or, at least fair, that might be all we can ask. It should be known that Gavin Avery might want to fear for his life, housed with that psychopath of a Slytheirn, Mordreth Adair, and best of wishes to Misses Isalena Greyback and Madison Ackerly with their new room. Further pairings include Loup Greyback with Peter Pettigrew, Miss Marlene McKinnon with the one and only Narcissa Black, Mary MackDonald rooming with Victoria Smitt, Regulaus Black with Tamhas Abercrombie and, last but certainly not least Misters Severus Snape and his new mate, Remus Lupin. Best wishes to you all, but keep in mind the walls of Hogwarts practically have ears these days. So the scandal may be following our dears B, R, and M today, so they might follow any of you next time. Till then, with love.
