Holiday Hoax Handily Habituated
(Hogsmeade) A happy holiday hoax has been happily
habituated in the wizarding village of happy Hogsmeade. As the superb summer holidays dreadfully draw to a close, pupils and professors pray for certain circumstances prolonging the perfect pastime of doing nothing and lazing in the shining sun. Now there has been a horrible hoax, telling everybody about a dreaded Death Eater attack on homely Hogwarts. |
However, this hoax proved to be a blissful blessing in dreadful disguise. Since nobody could confirm the rash rumour - or dutifully deny it - school was postponed until the second week of September, when the poor professors will have enough proof that the holiday hoax habituated in Hogsmeade is nothing but a hoax. Until then, everybody can relax in the sun and enjoy the extra holidays. (MF) |
Brilliant Birthday Brushes By
Chaotic broom celebrates bashfully the cool birthday of a charismatic bystander. The elvish editors equally elate in clearly congratulating this special spouse. A kilogram of cake will continually come to fully fill your fine flat. We cheerfully chose chocolate cake to contently convey our casual contempt. Bright birthdays bring another year to the long list of little lifetime. And yet you’re still young! |
Thirty tiny candles glow in the dark and it apparently appears to be the droll daylight though it is only the nude night. Soft stars shyly smile but creative candles can positively push their pure power aside as they assuredly alight any delightful darkness. The whole heap hopes you have a happy (h)anniversary and more so hopes for many happy returns! Happy Birthday! (ALL) |
Lazy Ladybirds Land on Low Land
Innumerable insects ingeniously inhabited the
inter3esting islands and cosy coasts of the casual country. Our holy holiday
was heftily horrified when a whole lot of lucky ladybirds distinctively
decided to dozily dock onto our decided destination and stay for sure at the
sunny and sandy shore. |
of God’s seven
pests. Gilderoy Lockhart’s guide was no good against the load of ladybirds.
It could not even merely manage to mildly mash the meandering masses. |

August 1 Summer. Sunshine. We need a swimming pool! August 2 Summer. Sunshine. We've got a pool - an inflatable rubber one which we found in a Muggle shop. Rosemary, our duck, inhabits it now. We need more water. We plan a trip to the seaside! August 4 Summer. Sunshine. We are at the seaside. It's great - only, where's the water? August 9 Summer. Sunshine. We found out that there is something called the wadden sea. That means, that the water disappears at times. We wonder where it goes. August 13 Now we know where the water goes: Millions of tourists go swimming or surfing in it and in the process swallow so much water the sea retreats to protect at least some water. Are we brilliant or what? |
August 16 We go home again - but summer and sunshine still
accompany us. We bought some souvenirs for our friends. And, which is
the most brilliant thing of them all: We've got a sack of new Travelling
Tales. August 20 The thing about loads of new Travelling Tales is that you have to get Geronimo to print them. He only started doing it when we threatened him to publish a whole book of tales. Luckily our printer believes we've got enough stuff for a book. We can be lucky when we have enough for broom! August 28 Eurgh, it's nearly time for a new broom. Okay, okay, we've got a brilliant set of Travelling Tales. We could do a whole travelling edition - but that might upset people who have to go back to work by September... We'll see. August 31 Yippieh - broom's done!!! |
Travelling Tales 2009: A Lesson a Day Keeps Death Eaters Away
Once again, Brian Cullen and Mike Flatley ventured into
the Muggle World to take a break from their manifold duties at broom. This
time, they opted for a seaside holiday together with some of their friends,
whose names will not be given away for security's sake. |
In the afternoon we set out again, exploring our Muggle
surroundings.
The harbour we detected on our walk. Photo: KS We also played golf, with meagre success but great fun. Then we did some more walking. So the lesson we learned today is: You can survive without apparating, and we re-discoverd our feet! (BC&MF) |
(The Muggle World) One more time one of the
strange Muggle peculiarities creeps into our every day magical lives. The
Muggle please is asking for everybody’s – that includes witches and wizards
– help in a hit-and-run-offence. broom spoke to the Muggle please officer
who is in charge. |
PO: Alright, the man…
broom: But certainly to “the man” or “a man”. PO: Alright, if you prefer that “a man”… broom: No, no, no. This is not about us, you see, just for “the man” or “a man”. PO: …was riding on his bike. broom: Which usually is no crime, right? PO: Right, when… broom: …when it is his own bike, right? PO: Right, when suddenly… broom: Isn’t it a shame that all accidents happen “suddenly”. Wouldn’t it be much more convenient to see them happen slowly, some of them could even be prevented. PO: Yes, but this one happened suddenly. broom: As you had pointed out before. PO: Suddenly… broom: Then again, it is such a nice word for effect. |
PO: Is that of any matter to the accident? |
(The World) As the late Voldemort no longer
proves to be a threat to the like of you and me, some members of the magical
world spoke of the fear that there was no one left to be feared. Little did
these witches and wizards know what this summer had to offer: A pest worse
than a hundred Muggles in your magic home invaded our private and most
intimate spheres – the ladybirds. |
We’re actually pretty scared now. Let’s see, which
steps are there to be taken next. First of all we will form a new army and
as we could neither agree on Brian’s or Mike’s Army, we will call it
Geronimo’s Army. We will recruit as many people as possible and as a second step we will ask the most valuable of these members to join the Order of the Louse – for The Insects Whose name We Won’t Mention Any Longer As There Are So Many Of Them Now are the natural enemies of lice. We held an opinion poll about this in our office and 90 % of our lice agreed. They even promised to act godlike and take care of one of the members each accompanying them wherever they go. Now, if your next step is to assume that we here at broom are only faking this problem in order to 1) cover the long summer break and b) to get rid of the lice in our office, then you’re perfectly right and much too clever to join Geronimo’s Army leave alone the Order of the Lice! We would advice you to just find something else for yourselves! (MF) |
broom's Best Bad Boy Board
In the last edition of broom’S Best Bad Boy Board
you found out that Argus quit his job as caretaker twice ensuring that his
family will be hungry the next couple of weeks. Today, you’ll find out what
happened next. Quite obviously, isn’t it? |
We would have never thought that there was so much drama in Argus’ life,
would you? Well, at least there is something for us to write about! Anyway, Argus felt quite lonely in his flat without any of the children, Matilda or a job. He soon felt quite hungry, too. He also packed his things and left for good, however, without a fair haired mysterious beauty. He set sail – not literally – for London, the city that never sleeps – not literally either. Once he was there he had to face the truth that it was as hard to find a job in London as it had been in Southampton. And even harder to find a flat or some place to sleep for that matter. He was lucky. It was summer and there always was a welcoming bench in Hyde Park or a cosy box forgottenly waiting in Speaker’s Corner. Unfortunately, we don’t know what he dreamed in the first night there, but we’re sure it became true if it was a nightmare. Discover in the next edition if he managed to get a new job and keep it if at least until he could buy a bite to eat. |
