Did You Hear...?
[/color]MISSING – A... SWAMP?[/color]
It seems that when one treasured item (Starke Diggory) makes a return, we had to lose something else in return.
We all know about the swamp left behind by the infamous Weasley twins, the one that no one can figure out how to shift, despite years of teachers and other professional wizards trying their damndest. We always applauded the twins (as even George Weasley himself couldn't move the swamp – does anyone else remember THAT day? The place STANK!) and saluted their innovative tendencies, their creative skill and their mastery of the trickster arts.
Now we must applaud the new king or queen of magic, because surely even they must be greater than the twins.
Yes, we can report that the swamp, a permanent fixture on the fifth floor of our school, has been stolen. Moved. Vanished. Whatever the term you want to use, it's missing. No one knows how it disappeared, and even the teachers remain more confused than if they'd been Confounded. Our reporters interviewed two teachers who rushed to the scene, just proving that even they didn't know quite what was going on:
“Oh my, well... That is a turn up for the books!” - Abraham Grey.
“Damn it, I've got to find a new spot for the bodies...” - Idris Argall.
We do plead that the person responsible come forward, and prove that it was them, just so we can applaud you. Don't fear the teachers, they'll probably thank you. The stench has finally gone, and that was the only bad thing about the swamp.
It's a sad day at Hogwarts, to lose such a treasured part of the school, but we must bask in the magical wonder of whichever student managed to pull this one off.[/center]
