A Little Fairy Told Me

By Luxa

Are you alone? Lovely. We wouldn't want anyone reading this over your shoulder, now would we? *wink* Anyways, we totally messed up my dramatic entrance, so let's start over. HELLO, SLYTHERINS! It is I, the great and powerful QUEEN OF FAIRIES, here to bring YOU up to speed on all of the latest gossip. But don't you run your little mouth about who told you. Got it? Good. I don't want to lose my job as Head Girl over this. Oh! Sorry. I've said too much about myself, I mean HONESTLY. Let's move on, shall we?

Today I'd like to start with something that is extremely top secret: the snake rebellion, 2.0! Some of you may remember the rebellion last summer, which started with our good friend Clay starting a small fire in the common room. He became a mockingjay and mysteriously vanished. (Where did I put that skeleton? Oh, right. In my closet.) However this rebellion is so silent, my source tells me that it may have even started with someone within the SOUP staff. I'm putting my money on the former Head of House, Deidra. I knew she was trouble when she walked in (to the office today).

I have more about Deidra, if you want to hear it. Oh, you do? All right. Think of this as a Public Service Anouncement. While "Alisha"- if that is even her real name - has told us that she works in a library, I just didn't believe it. I mean, seriously, someone who looks that mischievous working in a LIBRARY? Full of BOOKS? No way. So I took a secret flight up to the Cold North, where I found (you'll be shocked) that this library has never even heard of her!

I did some more digging, of course. She may be my best friend, and I may have been investigating her while sleeping on her couch, but this did not change a thing. A good journalist writes the truth, and ladies and gentleman this is the truth: our beloved Deidra is a Death Eater! Not just any Death Eater, though, she's the worst kind. Alisha recruits elementary school-aged wizarding children before they even step foot into Hogwarts! -cries- Who knew that was even a career choice?!?

All right, Slytherins. I fear I have said too much already. If anyone asks you where you got this information, just tell them that a little fairy told you. -wink- If you have any juicy secrets you'd like to share, just owl Luxa. -cough-

Love always, your favorite mythical creature!
