Charms Explosion
By Figaro Sellaphix, Hufflepuff Sixth Year

If you've been living under a rock, you might not have heard about the explosion in NEWT Charms this week.  Sadly, it wasn't a spell backfiring and laying waste in a demonstrative[1] fireball.

Nope.  Sorry. 

What actually happened was a kind of mutiny.  Professor Kesali vs half the NEWTs students in a shouting match to end all shouting matches.  A row of epic proportions.  A titanic tantrum had by all.  Class spun out of control like some absurd theater.  Madness, I tell you.

It all started with an outside day and all of us walking down the hallways single file like first years.  Some thought it was a laugh and others it twisted their knickers up their bums and started complaining about it.  Professor Kesali had none of it and by the time we were out of doors, someone who will remain nameless set the fourth fire Hogwarts has had in less than two years.  Some people had to go to hospital hut for minor burns, but that's not even the best part.

What came of that was a total breakdown.  A train wreck.  Professor and students storming around, running their mouths.  It was an absolute riot.  Except for the part where a slab of detentions were meted out, house points were slashed and class ended without any answer to what that giant metal dragon or the suit of armor was form.  Bollocks! We could have had more fire!

All I know is this - someone's bound to get fired.  And only one person in the fray is actually employed. 

RIP Professor Kesali.

OOC: This, like all other articles in the Howler are poorly researched and nearly works of fiction. Hyperbolic 'journalism' at it's finest.  Complaints may be sent to Anita Senz-O'Hyumer.
