Dear Witch Weekly,

Otherwise known to the masses as Gossip Trash Shit Bin and Friends.

If you're going to call yourself a gossip rag, I think you need to be schooled in the ways of writing. Like seriously, where did you learn your gossip skills, the gutter? Daycare? You can do better than this.

Anyway, for future reference, here are some better headlines that will definitely capture the attention of your readers. These are just suggestions, mind you, and they are all trademarks of Rushden INC. My brilliant headline making skills are always up for purchase, however, at the right price.

Suggestions:
1. Cthulhu the Dark Lord Rises from Slumber, Eats Tea and Crumpets at London Hot Spot. Sinners Repent Before He Gains a Taste for Human Blood.
2. Debilitating Cases of Erectile Dysfunction Linked to Martian Chemical in Chocolate Frogs.
3. Normal, Heterosexual Couple Gives Birth to 10 Headed Baby Hippogriff in Mungo's Top Secret Ward.
4. Beauty and the Beast Based on Real Life Events of Overly Hairy Hogwarts Graduate. Details at 9.
5. Minister of Magic Eats Radioactive Bertie Bots, Sprouts Wings, Becomes Supreme Overlord.


See how much more exciting and readable that is? Your fan base will literally double, according to a statistical study done in by bathroom sink by amoeba, and you can't argue with those results.

Also, you're welcome.

I'm not a Divinations expert, but I see a future for you in creative writing.

I'll take that as the highest caliber compliment, in this instance.

As well you should. I'm not familiar with the name Cthulhu, though. Is that... something they called You Know Who?

Not quite, though perhaps it could be argued.

Cthulhu is a character in a book... a constant source of anxiety for humanity over waking him from his slumber and the destruction of humanity.

Described as having an octopus like head and testicles surrounding his mouth, a scaly body with deadly claws on both his fore and hind feet, wings, and standing hundreds of meters tall, he's quite the looker, if you ask me.

When You Know Who cast the spell that alerted him when somebody spoke his name, I know that several of us came up with some interesting alternatives. At least at the Ministry.

Hundreds of meters tall?? Are he's fictional?

I mean... Cthulhu can be interpreted to be evil like You Know Who, but I think he's just misunderstood, really.

They say he's fictional, but you never know!

If they want a truthful article, I'll be happy to supply them with the "handsome man with a 12 inch cock returning to Hogwarts" headline.

You know, if you're going to be selling articles about Dean to the masses, you might want to ask his permission first.

You and your back handed dealings, Seamus. For shame.

I'll keep your dirty secret... but I want at least twenty percent.
