 | Kate Peakes chops the hyphen, fiery locks by Witch Weekly Staff Last week, Witch Weekly's favorite dame on the pitch, Kate Dagworth-Peakes, shocked the world of professional Quidditch when she took the broom with new robes emblazoned with "Peakes," a drastic new appearance sans her signature red mane, and a new outlook on her career and life with a vow to never let anything stand between her and happiness, again, even at the cost of her own commercial success. We at Witch Weekly are thrilled and gracious to bring you an exclusive interview with Kate about her whirlwind transformation, changes to her career, and of course, her home life with her bouncing baby boy and rocking wizard hubby, Jasper Peakes! Witch Weekly Staff: Good afternoon, Kate! We must say that it's such a pleasure to be invited to the Peakes Estate. Kate Peakes: Oh, that's simply ridiculous! I know we're far from modest, but if you throw around words like "estate" my husband will revisit the idea that he can put a moat around my little pitch back here, beyond the gardens. WWS: A moat? Kate: Yes, a moat! I'd explain about his obsession with medieval wizard and Muggle practices, but that's for another day! Perhaps a certain rag will make it their cover story, 'Peakes Family: Kate has two toddlers!' WWS: Well, we'd never read such a thing! Kate: Of course, you would! Much more ridiculous things have been put in print. WWS: Then you didn't have your hair burnt off by one of your sister in-law's dragons? Kate: [laughs] Nor am I anymore a loon than I was previously! Honestly, all that hair can be such a distraction on the pitch. That's not the real reason, though. WWS: Which happens to be? Kate: My son! There was not one way I could style or up-do my hair that he couldn't find a way to tug a good handful. Such a pain that was! WWS: This is such a drastic reaction to hair pulling, though! Kate: Is it? I don't think it is. It will grow back, and there's plenty of tonics that will make it grow faster. I'm glad I can hold him, now, without being attacked like I'm a bloody toy. [laughs lightly] Shocked the doxy right out of my husband, that day. WWS: Does that have anything to do with you altering your surname? Kate: Not in the least! But I can definitely say it was the first of many decisions that led me to dropping my family name. I think he's still in shock, honestly! WWS: Why do you say? Does he not like the change? Kate: To the contrary! He loves and supports everything I've done as of late. That's the real story: famous wizard supports his famous wife. Absolutely mad! |

In the midst of the V2 Virus outbreak, The Daily Prophet has become embroiled in a startling news development! The Appleby Arrows' SAOIRSE MULLET, twenty, and THOMAS MCCORMACK, twenty-five, have both been declared missing after a ransom note was delivered to the Prophet offices early this morning. While the note cannot be released to the public, we can say that it does include a lump sum for the two quidditch players' return, though no reason behind their abudction. Who is behind this snatching is still a mystery, in addition to how and when this act occurred. If you have any information about their whereabouts, or what person or persons may be behind this act, please contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at once. |

 UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND QUARANTINED! Portkeys, floo ports, and other modes of magical transportation have been banned from exiting and entering the country due to the rapidly spreading V2 Virus that has already cost four people their lives. The Minister for Magic has issued a state of emergency and International Confederation of Wizards has ruled that quarantine of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland is a preemptive strike against the virus spreading across the continent. If a wizard or witch is showing any sign of symptoms, please have them immediately taken to St. Mungo's Hospital where all levels of the building are being utilized. The Minister and St. Mungo's requests that those who must enter public areas take the proper precautions with the partial bubble-head charm and practical cleanliness. Hogsmeade weekends have been canceled until further notice for Hogwarts students. External stations for St. Mungo's staff and patients are being set up around the London metropolitan area and after admittance patients will be sent to the designated areas. St. Mungo's is still the first go and to avoid over admittance to these new stations, locations will not be revealed publicly. All Healers are now on mandatory overtime. Mediwizards and those trained in potion making's services are requested to be utilized for mass production of pepper-up potions and other useful, basic potions. Please comment on this announcement if you are in need of any help, can offer any services, or have any other concerns. |
