~ Edition #3 ~
Hello Woppians!

It’s time to place your bets and pick a side…

Headmaster Harland and Minister Beckett have become rivals of sorts as they bet against each other on the simpler matters in life. There is always a consequence for the loser of every bet, and a story to tell behind each.
 

 
Join us in placing your bets in either support of Clarence Harland, or Astrid Beckett! Below you will read about the current ongoing bet, and all you need to do is decide where you lie, down below in the comments!

Each week, those within the winning bet will receive 5 wizard cards, and 2 house points, to be revealed at the start of the following week's article.
 

It was quite the wait for Mrs Pickling to get all her lottery tickets checked, but after a few days it was an ecstatic reaction to find out she had not only won a large sum, but the lottery jackpot itself! Mrs Pickling is now one of the richest witches in the UK, and has promptly bought herself a luxurious home in the countryside.

That means our bet winner this week is Astrid! This does mean Clarence has lost, and his consequence this time means he has to spend 1 week doing his Headmaster work in the Great Hall rather than his office. He is not pleased and Astrid anticipates he will be driven mad.

Buying a pet isn’t usually gossip, but after an elite Pureblood family brought home a pet in a rather secretive manner after being abroad on holiday, speculation began as to why the pet is being hidden so thoroughly. So far, no one has mentioned seeing the pet, but there’s no chance it can stay hidden forever.
 
Clarence bets the family have purchased a creature that is illegal to own as a pet, even with a license, and so they have kept it hidden so as to not get caught
VS
Astrid bets that such an uptight family would never do something illegal, and just wanted to seem interesting, when they’ve really bought something simple and legal to own, like a niffler or a dog

But which bet will you take? Let us know down in the comments, before the next article comes out next Monday, do you side with Clarence or Astrid?
