Any why such a human name?? I immediately suspected darker forces at work! <br /><br />Michael: Yeah, we'd be a junior National Enquirer for wizards.

Go dig up all the dirt on the professors that you can. The teacher beat is all yours.<br /><br />Rachel: Thanks so much! Have to put my journalism training to use somehow.<br /><br />Faith: Only in the wizarding world could such a bizarre love be fostered!

Colin is a natural. And Luna's Quibbler experience is of course invaluable.<br /><br />Laura: Excellent! We need a few insiders in every house.
