Shocking News

Chapter 2

Hello all readers, and welcome back to another chapter (hosted by me once more!) of Hogwarts Monthly News, Issue 14! I'm really happy that I get to be writing this chapter right now because... I don't have much time left as head of the magazine.

You might be coughing and spluttering out your coffee right now like "WHAT?!" so let me explain.

Look, I really should've just decided to hang around for one more month to reach my one-year anniversary as the awesome leader of Hardworking Magical Noses, but I just don't... feel like it.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my passion for working in a magazine has slowly faded over time. My articles are more rushed. My graphics are more hasty. My editing/proofreading more... vague.

I think it's best for the future of the magazine if I just leave altogether.

In reality, I've gotten heaps busier too. I know I'm currently chilling because of my school holidays, but when my prison (school) days start again...

Well, it's not exactly hell, but quite close, no?

I've really enjoyed being a part of HMN... And it's been more than a year now. I love all my employees, and you, too, readers—thank you so much for your support. It truly has empowered us, all of us, to keep going.

HMN's new head, starting from May, is Sara Rowan. Please support my sister, as we all know she will do a very wonderful job <3

This is one of the last articles I'll ever write for the newsletter.

...

Now moving on from this serious topic to a more lighthearted one! On April 1st this month, I placed—I mean, someone placed a whoopee cushion on a teacher's chair during breakfast. The SQUEAK! that caused the great hall to erupt into giggles was quite a loud one. Not smelly, but loud. I wonder if the culprit will be found?

Not only that, but GUESS WHAT? Our magazine, after quite a long time, has finally employed someone new... ALANNAH V! She has done such a spectacular job as a journalist and proofreader so far (and I did NOT prank her on her first day of her job, just to be clear!)

Now, to end off with. I probably should've spoken more about the whole I’m-leaving-thing, but honestly, I'm not really sad.

…

I...

It's just...

I'm really happy, probably because you pooped your pants reading my prank paragraph :>

APRIL FOOLS BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH–

Thanks for reading, and please don't hate me after this! At least I haven't left right??? I dare you to tear up telling your friends that I have... AND MAKE THEM READ THIS ISSUE!
