It seems our ever favorite publication of Witch Weekly has failed to get the true story once again. But never fear, Lia's Tales of Tantalizing Truth is here to set the record straight for all. Hold on to your hats, because you're all in for a bumpy ride!


Sudden Wedding Cover up for Alien Baby Assimilation Scheme


While it seems the Cornfoot and Greengrass families are sticking hard to their falsified story of young, romantic love, inside sources claim that the truth of the matter is none other than Miss Daphne herself was recently abducted by atrocious aliens, implanting their demonic alien baby army in her fertile and fabulous womb. But that's not all folks! Upon more digging and sleuthing it actually seems that Daphne is not Daphne at all, but a top secret experiment gone horribly wrong by the muggle government, who just happened to be snatched up by this arduous alien race.

But that begs the real question, what has happened to the young and lovely Miss Greengrass we all know and... well.. know? Are they holding her hostage somewhere? Did she ever really exist at all? Perhaps only time will tell, but our dedicated reporters are more than ready to crack that can of worms!

Even more disturbing is what does this mean for our poor, Stephen Cornfoot? Did he realize he was being married to the mother of a new alien race? Did his father sign a deal with the devil, and the poor boy is just a pitiful pawn in a Pureblood scheme gone horribly awry? Sources say that in fact, the Elder Cornfoot did indeed sign a pact with the notorious Beelzebub, as they were caught canoodling quietly in a secluded corner of Knockturn a week before said nuptials took place.

Bulstrode Bombarded with Boisterous Claims, Only Working in Cahoots with her Cat Companion

In other news, while it seems our very own Millicent Bulstrode has been at the center of quite a bit of controversy, what is truly marvelous about this entire tale is how wickedly wonderful Witch Weekly is at fooling all of you! While you clamber and crawl for the inside scoop of this notoriously beautiful and charming witch, the true story lies not with Millicent herself, but with her darling cat. That's right folks, it's not in fact Miss Millicent who claims the crowds of curious creatures, but really, her fabulous fluffball!

Because in fact, our most secretive of sleuths have uncovered the real truth: he's not a cat at all, but an extremely clever animagus by the name of Clancy Clow! Witch Weekly thought it too scandalous to reveal the truth to you hoards of adoring fans, and while Millie has been a good sport, it's all in the effort to protect the identity of her most sacred of pals. Really, we should all look to Millicent in wonder and awe for her truthful tale of what friendship should be.

Now don't all of you feel silly!

Orgies and Ministries and Poppies, oh my!

Our final story of the day is short and sweet, my delightful divas and duders. While WW reports continuously on the ongoing Ministry of Magic sex scandal, our super secret reporters have uncovered an even deeper story that will shake you to your very soul!

Deeply undercover sources claim that the continuously creeped on couples within the Ministry itself are not in fact, actual individuals with an insatiable sex drive, but mythical Lotus Eaters! You heard right, dear readers, Lotophagi have infiltrated the Ministry! What does this mean for future politics, only time will truly tell. But I for one, dear readers, offer you the only piece of advice I can give in this type of dire situation: Don't eat the poppy seed muffins!

I'll take my sources and sleuths to the grave, dear Stephen!

A good writer never gives up her secrets, after all.

I'm just sorry you were used as such a pitiful pawn in this crazy game of life we lead.

Course you can, Blondie. Lia's Tales of Tantalizing Truth doesn't discriminate against silly Irishmen. It's a paper for any and all, but mostly for me.

Not everyone can appreciate this pure art. It's alright. I bet you dislike surrealism and cubism as well.

...Well duh, it's drivel. That was literally the entire point. I wasn't trying to write real news. It's satire.

If I wanted something real, I'd buy the Prophet or something equally dreary.

The manufacturer is in Bristol. He sold us the Quibbler printing press and provides us with spare parts whenever we need it.

Also, I'm sure Daddy can let you use our press if you wish to test things before getting one. I showed him what you wrote, and he loved it.

That experience was... damaging. Alien space ships are... They are terrifying.

But honestly, this was the highlight of my day.

Is this something you wish to actually do? You are very good.. I would pursue writing. You have a talent.

[Daphne]
Yeah? Good. That rag of shit is a rag of shit. Glad I could make at least one victim of its wrath giggle.

I mean... it was fun, don't get me wrong. I never really thought about it much, but it was glorious to feel like I took that place down a peg, even if it was just in my wildest dreams. But maybe one day?

I think I might have been in Mexico? It was... I don't wish to talk about it. What did I miss?

[Ophelia]
Well, if you do decide to make a career out of it, you have one loyal reader already. And an investor. I would most certainly pay to see that in sell-able print.

I hear Mexico is nice this time of year, at least. Me gustarĂ­a un burrito, por favor.

Wait... what?

Did you just offer to fund my mad magazine scheme, or did I imagine that?

I don't think I saw very much of it. But then, it's all kind of blurry. Except for what happened on the space ship. I remember that. It was awful.

[Ophelia]
No. That happened.

It sounds pretty awful. An entire race of alien babies?! How did they all fit!?

No wait, don't answer that. I feel a part two coming on.

[Daphne]
...I feel like this is a joke. But for once I feel like I'd be wrong.

Like.. okay. I mean.. seriously? What do I have to do in return? I'm a really bad cleaning lady, as a warning.

If it's a secret partnership you're after, should we talk percentages? that's how business works, right?

I'd rather not answer. Traumatizing.

[Ophelia]
Just keep writing things like this.

Kept in private would honestly work best, yes. I am not so sure how my new father-in-law would react to me going into such a business. My mother would kill me, that's for sure.

I will put forth a start up cost, and until that is paid off, I would request sixty percent of profit. And then we can renegotiate at that time. Is that acceptable?

Understandable. But time heals all, or so they say. Guess we'll find out?

[Daphne]
That I can most certainly do!

I'll take it to my grave, you can quote me on that. And don't worry, I'll protect you from that Beelzebub baddie. You can count on me.

Alright, yeah. Deal.
