With Halloween just around the corner, house-elves at ‘Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’ have been working flat out preparing a feast students will never forget.
An insider tells us that the extensive list of tooth-rotting goodness will include all-time favourites ‘pumpkin pasties’, and ‘cauldron cakes’; however, some new, never-before tasted treats will also grace dinner plates, including the heavily anticipated release of the ‘Pogge-Stopper’, courtesy of Honey-Dukes.
But alas, some treachery has come afoot, with resident poltergeist Peeves setting two thousand, yes, two thousand, live frogs into the kitchen mid-way through feasting preparation! House-elves have been cooking furiously since the vicious attack, but the Minister for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, Ms. Hermione Granger, has repeatedly insisted that the elves need rest.
Peeves, who has recently been spotted causing havoc all over the fifth floor of the school, is currently unavailable for comment.
Mr. Argus Filch, caretaker of Hogwarts says, “I'm not at all surprised by this behaviour, you can be sure of that. Peeves is very inconsiderate. A pity we can't hang him...”
Although the students at the school don’t seem all too worried about this whole ordeal, countless staff members have been spending their spare time helping out the hundreds of house-elves prepare not only the huge Halloween feast, but the daily meals; from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner. This very time-consuming task has left staff members of Hogwarts stressing.
Is this little prank the last we’ll hear of Peeves? Although Headmaster John says that he “doesn’t find it necessary for the removal of Peeves”; Ministry officials state quite the opposite. Melinda Berk, assistant to the Minister himself, says that “On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, the immediate removal of Peeves the Poltergeist is required for the benefit of both staff and students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry”.
The Headmaster of the school was seen at Ministry headquarters earlier this morning, presumably attempting to do a “Dumbledore”, and work things out. Upon exiting the Ministry headquarters, reporter Joan Summers caught up with him.
Headmaster John had nothing to say, except that “Peeves is a permanent member of the school, just like all of our ghosts. What’s done is done, though almost anything can be fixed.”
A student of the school, who wishes to remain anonymous, states that staff members have told the school that some good that has come out of all this, that there has been another extra special treat added in to the already magnificent list of goodies for the feast.
So, this little trick of Peeves' the Poltergeist, has given the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry a little extra treat. =]
