Gossip From The Common Room
by Kiara Bell

For this issue’s Gossip in the Common room we have decided to make a little twist and instead of bringing you the usual Gryffindor gossip. We proudly present the very secret diary of Ron Jimmy Potter-Weasley The Fourth, a Gryffindor student. His year and date of join will remain secret for the obvious reasons but your second years assure you that he is NOT a second year, but then again… if he was a second year I’d deny it too.
Ron Jimmy Potter-Weasley is an actual Gryffindor ladies and gentlemen, this is not some stupid annoying made up character parody to entertain your second years in any way what so ever and above it all it is NOT the product of a Sunday afternoon crisis of boredom of your favourite Paw Print columnist.
This diary was found in Mr. McNish’s desk drawer “dangerous, do not open” and now we know why. Inside this drawer our squirrels found not only this diary with a post-it on top that said “unreadable” but also Mr. McNish’s bourbon and a picture of The Queen Of Hearts in a bikini. Our squirrel spies are currently being treated for the trauma they suffered after seeing such a horrible and disturbing sight.
We apologise before hand if our beloved readers have problems understanding what our mysterious Gryffindor wrote but it was impossible to translate the whole diary from net speak to actual English. The first part was easy but after long hours of translating the impossible our squirrels and purple elephants got extremely tired. They worked as hard as they could to do the translation you will see below.
