Double, double toil and trouble!
With a new season in full swing comes a plethora of news to share with all my readers. To start, a kind soul ought to check on Lord Greengrasse, for his two daughters must be turning the poor man grey well before his time.
The beautiful Lady Astoria has already heard from dozens of well-to-do suitors vying for her hand. I predicted her match would be the most interesting to watch this season, and I have yet to be mistaken! If Lord Greengrasse were to have his way, he would surely collect another Wizengamot member.
Yet no snitch was needed to learn that Anthony Goldstein, a recent addition to the Wizengamot, was forced to close his family shop on Diagon Alley following several disgruntled debt collectors descending all at once. Being known as a woman of fine taste, what will his betrothed, Lady Daphne, think of this scandalous development? Just how substantial is the Greengrasse dowry, and will it be enough to negate Goldstein's significant debts...?
The Society Snitch
"Was that truly how it looked like during my season?" whispered Hermione, watching as a congregation of men converged upon Astoria Greengrasse the moment she arrived, linked arm-in-arm with her sister Daphne.
The group around her, Ginny, Pansy, Luna, and Lavender, answered simultaneously, "Yes."
"Not that there was a single thing wrong with that," Ginny added. After having baby James in the early summer, she was the most eager to attend the parties of the season. "Both yourself and Astoria were subject to the whims of this mysterious Snitch."
"Nasty woman, whoever it is," said Pansy. After marrying Neville early in the previous year's season, Pansy became quickly acclimated to their growing group of friends.
Whoever the Society Snitch was, they had grown increasingly bold as of late. After revealing one too many affairs, sharing whispers of shady dealings on Diagon Alley, and speculating on the amounts stored away in particular Gringotts vaults, those crossed were out for blood.
Not that any member of society changed their scandalous tendencies, no, not at all. Though no matter how hard one hid their secrets, the Society Snitch always found a way to uncover the truth. Hermione marvelled at the fact that Draco's past and their false start early on in their marriage never once graced the front page of the papers.
"Any thoughts on who's behind all this?" asked Lavender. "Not a single person is safe."
Pansy leaned in closer with a conspiratorial eye. "You know, I thought it would be a Weasley, seeing how the Snitch speaks so kindly of that family."
Hermione quickly answered as Ginny grew angry, eager to stop her before she lashed out. "I very much doubt it, Ginny or Molly would have never written about me."
