Campus Whispers: “From Books to Baby Bumps?”
By: Quillie the Quibbler (Senior Gossip Arcanist)
Sources confirm that an unidentified student- believed to be fourth-year Dakota Bellamy- was spotted sneaking barefoot into the Restricted Section visibly pregnant and “carrying magical weight in all the wrong places.”
Witnesses report soft crinkling noises, spellbook dampness, and “an overwhelming scent of rose-laced foot balm and shame.”
Was it a failed summoning? A bold research project? Or did our notoriously radiant librarian associate, Beth Arclight, finally test her “theoretical transfer spell” on a live subject?
When asked for comment, Beth merely smiled and said, “Oh, you’ll read about it eventually.”

Overheard in the Dining Hall:
“If Beth asks you to stand in a glowing circle, just don’t.”
“Dakota’s carrying something spicy. You can feel it from across the quad.”
