The Daily Prophet, 3rd page article
Mr. James Sirius Potter, firstborn to Mr. Harry Potter, broke his media silence and gave the Daily Prophet his first exclusive interview since attaining the legal age.
Mr. Potter joined the Auror Division after Hogwarts and is currently in his last year of training. However, his outstanding marks and the successful completion of his first two years have not stopped the constant questions about his qualification for the position. The clamour surrounding his decision has re-emerged with the new assignments in the werewolves case. While Mr. Potter declined to comment in order to avoid compromising the investigation, he is confident in the fact that when the investigation is brought to an end, people would be able to judge his work on merit instead of bias.
His sombre tone changed when asked about being named Most Eligible Bachelor of Witch Weekly Award for two years. Showing a wicked smile that has appeared on quite a few candid pictures, he assured us that he was honoured, though he doubted that he would receive the award any longer.
At this time, Mr. Potter revealed the reason for finally coming out, in more ways then one. He disclosed that he has been in a relationship for weeks. Mr. Potter also specified that he considers himself bisexual, if forced to be classified by any sexual preference.
He further revealed that the relationship had culminated in a private ceremony on Saturday evening. While no details were provided, he confirmed that it was a legally binding marriage, registered by the Ministry.
If all of this wasn't shocking enough, the identity of his spouse left the reporters at the Daily Prophet speechless. In a surprising turn of events, James Sirius Potter announced that he married Sirius Black the Third, elder son of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Incidentally, Mr. Black is also Harry Potter's godfather, and his life has made it into the history books.
When asked if anyone had opposed the marriage, Mr. Potter said that he is blessed with a loving and supportive family.
This is the first case of same-sex magical marriage between two Pureblood wizards of such high esteem and exposure in our society since it became legal just five years ago.
Fake Daily Prophet Headline (charmed by Al and delivered by owl to James and Sirius' marital bed)
In shocking turn of events this morning, Mr. James Sirius Potter, Auror in Training, 3rd runner up of last year's Most Eligible Bachelor of Witch Weekly Award, and the oldest son of Head Auror Harry Potter, had made his secret same-sex affair public by announcing his mysteriously impulsive marriage to a man called Sirius Black.
One can only guess the other intentions of Mr. Black, a recent returnee and a former Azkaban inmate turned dashing war hero, who had enjoyed the esteemed Harry Potter's hospitality since summer whilst secretly charming his own young and impressionable grand-godson and namesake.
As a result of his swift yet questionable actions, Mr. Black is the first case of a returned wizard fully integrating back into the wizarding society to take advantage of our present laws to this extent.
However, was this devilish Casanova apprehended in the deed and forced to the altar by the Chosen One himself in order to repair the damage done? Perhaps so. Another trusted source reports no announcement of engagement, or even invitations for the Potter-Black wedding. The couple's only saving grace from the succulently sinful scandal at the moment is the newly signed and dated Ministry marriage certificate, which appears to be valid at first glance.
Multiple efforts aside, the honour of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black will be tainted forever with yet another tale of seduced Pureblood bride with a modern twist, a trusted source laments. At last this time we can be certain that it's not merely an out-of-wedlock pregnancy which is the reason behind this scandalous tale.
This is the first case of same-sex magical marriage between two Pureblood wizards of such high esteem and exposure in our society since such things were proclaimed legal just five years ago.

Relax, it's not that horrible. Yet. See p. 3.
Congratulations on your largely unplanned lifetime of marital bliss. Enjoy.
