Today was the day. And Isabella was so excited she could almost blow her cover. But she couldn’t do that, not if she wanted to keep this going and not get eaten alive for it. She had woken up extra early and gotten ready in her sheer blue dress that was a little too tight, a little too sheer and revealing, and a little too short – perfect. The more her parents would protest against it, the better. Her black heels clacked against the dungeon floors as she ascended up to the Great Hall, practically humming in excitement, but she had to keep it cool. The Slytherin teenager sat down at her house table, as usual shoving all meats away, being a vegetarian, and grabbed a bit of toast and butter, she wasn't very hungry anyway with all the excitement. She had only just finished eating once slice of toast when she heard the fluttering of the delivery owls approaching. It’s time! she thought excitedly, her heart suddenly thumping faster in her chest. All at once the owls swooped into the Great Hall, dropping mail to their appropriate person, but more importantly, dropping a mini-magazine in every single person’s lap. An owl she didn’t know swooped down by the Slytherin girl and dropped the glossy magazine on her empty plate and Isabella immediately picked it up, her eyes sparkling with delight, however she made sure to remain normal and undercover. She would have to make sure to send Vicky a thank you note for recommending the publishing company to the girl, but still refused to tell her what it was about. Isabella had saved every knut she earned this summer just to be able to print this many copies, and she hoped it'd be worth it. Just like the many other students around her, she too opened up the magazine, her dark brown eyes scanning over the words, her words, though no one knew it was her.




GOSSIP Magazine
Volume 1, Issue 1

Hey HNZers!
Surprise! You’ve just opened your first issue of Gossip Magazine. It’s no secret what this magazine contains, right? I personally hate secrets more than anything, and I’m too nosey for my own good, so I took the liberty of creating this ‘zine for anyone who has the same problem as I do. Think of it as letting the truth out, and warning you from others. There are so many students in school with so many secrets or things to gossip about (lucky for me) but I decided to start from the top of the line...

Head Girl's Heart Broken? Engagement Ring Involved?

Everyone knows who the Head Girl, Estrella Drage, is of course. If you don't, there's something wrong with you. Miss Drage has been dating Jaken Styx, Slytherin 7th Year, for almost two years however the couple has recently called it quits! There are more rumors that Jaken had an engagement ring! Was it meant for Estrella? Did she feel it was too soon and reject his proposal? (She'd be crazy to!) Or was the ring for someone else? Some say it was definitely for her, but I've been hearing more rumors that say otherwise...Estrella has managed to keep herself void of emotion (so far) while Jaken was last spotted having long hair and red streaks once again, just like he arrived to Hogwarts two years ago. Is this a sign that Jaken is going back to his old ways? (He's been known to have quite a rough past). Is this his way of saying he doesn't care about the break up? We'll see!

Move Over Durm Boys

It's been two years since Katalina Vanderhol, Gryffindor 5th Year, was last caught in a mess between a couple of boys, whether bets were on or not, however recently the Prefect was seen talking to Chace Harker, Slytherin 5th Year, and former 'fling.' The conversation had been rather civilized, that is until Ravenclaw rebel Sumner Reine showed up. It didn't take a genius to figure out that clearly there was some chemistry between the Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw, and they made that very clear by smooching right in front of the poor Slytherin's eyes. After a few choice words, the two boys ended up brawling over Miss Vanderhol but Sumner's heroic move won him the girl. Too bad the Durm boys weren't here to see what they'd passed up on.

Miss Mary Sunshine?

Nothing too much to report on with 4th years except Zazuka Bones, Ravenclaw Prefect, has been seen around the castle with Brian Getathorn's, Ravenclaw 4th Year, arms wrapped around her, with no regards for Andrew Bruke, Slytherin 4th Year and Miss Bones' ex, and his feelings. For being 'Miss Mary Sunshine' she seems a little cold-hearted don't you think? Just two years ago she had been getting intimate with Andrew while he had a girlfriend too! This one doesn't wait long to jump onto the next one.

The Devil Really Does Wear Prada
When did designer labels become the new dress code for Evil?

Watch out "Glam Squad!" Looks like there's a new squad on the way. No, I don't mean the "Goth Gang" - ever heard of the "I Love Pink Club"? Word is that it's mainly, if not all, Slytherin members as well, and get this, their "leader" is a boy! Just like the Glam Squad, their prerequisite is that you wear designer everything, oh and pink - think of it as a Mini Glam Squad! Though most members would hate to be referred to as that, I hear Sukie Takahiro, 1st Year Slytherin, (the leader) would ditch the "Pink Club" in a second to join the ranks of the Glam Squad. This just in, soak up your fifteen minutes of fame Pink Club, because just as fast as your group started, I hear it's no longer together. We'll miss you, not.

First Impressions Are Everything
A Recap on the First Years

So now that the first years have been labeled sorted, let's recap on who's stuck out the most, meaning who's made the biggest fool of themselves so far!
[ul][li]Lisa Boatwood, Ravenclaw - This girl seems to have little to no patience when it comes to Slytherins and seems to argue with them all the time. Do I sense jealousy? Don't worry Miss Boatwood, judging by your actions, you can tell there's more Slytherin blood in you than you think.</LI>
[li]Isaac Chambers, Slytherin - This boy got beaten up by a girl, need I say more? Any guesses which girl it was? I'll give you a hint, she's already been mentioned to have a problem with Slytherins. ;)
[li]Ava Prince and Rebecca Prince, Slytherins - It seems these two Prince's are related, and both seem to want to be the center of attention. All I can say is, Rebecca who?
[li]Kaleb Styx, Slytherin - Jaken Styx has a younger brother! (Let's see if he can shake off that label ;) ) Something isn't right about him, and although I have no evidence to support this, I feel the need to say, watch out girls.
[li]Leia Evans, Hufflepuff - Another Zazuka Bones in the making? No I don't mean with abilities, but this girl seems to only have guy friends...
[li]Dannii Merrythought, Hufflepuff - Word on the street is the way she looks now isn't the way she used to be. Why the sudden change Dannii? A certain boy wouldn't happen to be a reason, would it? Sorry babe, but that's just desperately sad.
[li]What about the Gryffindors? For a bunch of proud lions, the new cubs seem to be laying low for now. But don't worry, I'll get the gossip on them soon enough.[/li][/ul]

Heard it Through the Grapevine
Random Bits of Gossip
[ul][li]Abbey Lurken and Adira Ater, both group of friends well known to be rivals, were seen conversing privately in the Slytherin common room. Looks like their group needs to keep a closer eye on these two, what could they possibly be conversing about?
[li]After former Hufflepuff Jenna Wilkonson left the castle, Sam Prince, Hufflepuff 2nd Year, was single once again, though didn't go looking. His ex, Toni Addison, Slytherin 2nd Year, was happily with Beau Hurley, 2nd Year Slytherin, until he too had to leave the castle. With the two of them now single, did their feelings for each other ever go away? Will they get back together?
[li]Abbey Lurken better hold on to Theodore Snow, latest gossip involving the male Snow is that the Goth Gang is moving in on him!
[li]Does anyone recognize Wendy Chaos lately? (Wait, who is she?) It seems like after Isabella Chaos ditched her sweater vests for leather jackets, Wendy traded up. What do you think of her new look? Is it just an attempt to win her sister's forgiveness after accidentally being a huge factor in the break up between Isabella and former Gryffindor, Aiden Lorka?
[li]Speaking of which, the Queen B used to think she was so invisible and irresistible but the latest on her is that Mike Goulding, Gryffindor 4th Year Prefect, rejected the Slytherin after taking one look at her new image. Ouch, bad move B?
[li]Anyone seen Steph Shirley around the castle lately? No, because she's transferred to Durmstrang where both her exes James Abbott and Aiden Lorka currently attend. Can you already see the green in Isabella's face? Wait until she finds out Steph is now living with Aiden!
[li]Is Vivienne Esquire hoping to overthrow the Queen B? Weren't the two girls enemies? So why are they now on good terms?
[li]Is Efeyenia Samartzi trying to take over Alyssa Snow's spot as next-in-line for the crown, and more importantly, Isabella's best friend?
<LI>[li]After a rather nasty break up on Valentine's Day between Luna Paramore, Ravenclaw 3rd Year, and Scorpius Knight, Ravenclaw 2nd Year, the two seemed to have moved on to Angus Greenwood, Slytherin 3rd Year, and Taylor Mercer, Gryffindor 2nd Year. Come on, who didn't see that coming? Looks like Scorpius was playing the blame game all last year, and now he's nothing but a hypocrite. How long do you think the two Ravenclaws can avoid each other? The tower isn't that big.[/li][/ul]

Isabella looked down at her magazine, gasping in all the right places where she knew others would too. She had completely made some of these rumors up, or twisted the truth horribly just so it made her magazine sound juicier. Most of the made up rumors were those of her friends, because she knew if she didn't include them someone would get suspicious of her soon enough. For example, her good friend Isaac did not get beaten up by a girl, just simply jinxed and un-jinxed, but that wasn't nearly as exciting as 'getting beaten up.' She knew he would be angry but it was going to be something to laugh about together later. Nia and Vivienne's rumors were also made up too. Everything she'd written about herself however, was the complete truth. Though Mike didn't really reject her at all, she still felt that way so she felt the need to add it in. Isabella looked up around the Hall, seeing many students reading the magazine, she wanted to see their reactions to it.
 
OOC:

Okay, so welcome to my "Gossip Girl" plot! :D I am planning to have an issue out every month (but really just whenever I can :p ) with random bits of gossip from the entire school. Isabella has found herself some spies within the common rooms she can't get into (they don't know of her plan so the magazine is a surprise to them as well) and sometimes she'll completely twist the truth so it doesn't even make sense anymore!
This is just the first issue so right now there hasn't been too much whacky, twisted stuff, but that's where I'm hoping you guys come in!
I'm hoping that this'll be fun for you guys because the more crazier I make your stories, the more stuff you'll have to RP with right?
But mostly I'm hoping that you guys can give me info by sending me a PM saying "Hey I'd like you to put this in the magazine" in order to further develop your plots and whatnot. ^_^
However if you feel like your story was wrongly put up or you just don't want it up there, let me know and I'll take it down. :)

So of course everyone OOC is allowed to know it's me but IC I would appreciate it if the assumptions, accusations, or suspsicions didn't start right away. I'll give a heads up on when Bella starts making it obvious and then someone can eventually rat her out, or not! That leaves room for future plots! :D

Anyway I hope you all enjoy RPing with this, I'd really appreciate your input on how to make it better/crazier yet realistic and I hope you have as much fun with it as I do. :D
 
Estrella had been more or less enjoying her breakfast when the owls arrived. She wasn't expecting any mail, and thusly, continued to eat. She had been thinking a lot since the breakup with Jaken. The Ravenclaw was no longer angry; they both had needed a break. As far as she was concerned the feelings were still mutual. The two obviously required more space than they had anticipated, and as long as there was nothing bitter between them she was alright with that.

The Head Girl couldn't help jumping a bit as what looked like a magazine fell into her lap. She frowned as she read the title. Gossip Magazine, Volume 1, Issue 1. The eldest Ravenclaw felt a little nauseated as she opened it. The girl wanted to throw up as her eyes scanned the title of the first story. After she had finished reading it, she could practically feel her blood boiling beneath her skin.

Instead of freaking out and threatening the entirety of the Great Hall as she wished to do, Estrella kept her composure. She dearly wanted to find who had written these stories and wrap her fingers around their slimy little neck. A lot of these stories looked like they were fabricated.

In one simple motion, Estrella folded the magazine in half, and set it on top of a tall plate of toast. With a flick of her wand she had cast Incendio at the plate. The toast and dirty little burn book were soon engulfed in flames. The girl commenced to eat her breakfast as the contents within the fire were incinerated. She didn't react to the fire burning next to her and licking the sides of the plate, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It was quite obvious what she thought about the new journalism tactics someone had implemented at Hogwarts New Zealand.
 
Lauren woke up & got dressed. She sleepily truged down to the great hall for breakfast. She found the Ravenclaw table & sat down, she saw that there was hardly anyone there. must be earlier than i thought. It looked like she was the only ravenclaw first year there. Oh well she thought & she tucked into some toast & eggs.

Soon enough it was time for mail & the owls swooped in with packages & letters for the students. But today it was different everyone seemed to get something. A magazine landed on Lauren's lap, on closer inspection Lauren found out that it was some sort of gossip magazine all about HNZ. Intrigued Lauren opened the cover & started reading. Some of the articals were so outrageous & far-fetched that they couldnt be true.

Lauren found an article about a fellow ravenclaw; Lisa. Lauren couldnt believe that Lisa would beat up someone!. She would have to ask her later. Lauren finished the magazine & even though it probably wasnt true it was highly entertaining & Lauren couldnt wait for the next issue. She tucked it under her arm & left the ravenclaw table & went back up to ravenclaw tower. She still had homework to do.
 
Lisa couldn't help but look up when hundreds of owls came zooming into the Great Hall, dropping little magazines on every person's place. She picked her own copy up and scanned the title. Gossip Magazine. This did not sound good.

Picking it up and flicking through the pages, Lisa saw that it was full of stories of students at HNZ. Surely the teachers could not - would not - allow this? It was deceitful and just plain mean. The person who wrote this was going to get detention for sure.


But then she saw the article about her. "No, no, no," she breathed, glancing around the hall. People were snickering at her. Her cheeks turned bright red as her blood curdled and boiled with hurt and embarrasment. I have to get out of here, she thought, dropping the book and darting out of the hall, tears on her cheeks. What was everyone else going to think?
