As if the news of Miss Granger’s shady past was not enough, it seems like our war heroes have other secrets that would shock the faint of heart. In what might be the scandal of the decade, Witch Weekly has discovered that Mr Neville Longbottom, grandson of Wizengamot Member Augusta Longbottom, and son of celebrated Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom, has been engaging in some very unseemly behavior.
Had I not witnessed it with my own eyes, I might have been tempted not to believe it, but as certain as I am breathing, the truth is: The Longbottom Heir of both family fortune and estate, will not be producing his own Heir. Longbottom and a young man were sighted holding hands and sharing a very intimate kiss in a public Muggle cafe. There is not doubt in my mind that Neville Longbottom is...GAY.
As if this weren’t shocking enough, after deep research into the identity of Longbottom’s young companion, it was discovered that he was none other than Matthew Tristan Stebbins, Medi-Wizard trainee at St.Mungo’s, and Neville Longbottom’s very own flatmate. I have found out, through a reliable source, that Mr Longbottom and Mr Stebbins have been living together since April and judging by the familiarity and intimacy of their exchange in London, I doubt that their relationship is as honest as they have been telling everyone.
Why go to such lengths to hide their relationship, if there wasn’t something to hide? This reporter must ask the hard question: Just what does Mr Stebbins, a Muggleborn and survivor of Azkaban, want with the heir to a Pureblooded family? Is this another attempt by Muggleborns to compromise the future of the Wizarding world, but taking away any chance of a Pureblooded heir? Is Longbottom, a man who risked his life to protect the innocent, nothing more than prey to a nefarious, underground political movement? Stay tuned for more details, as Witch Weekly continues to probe into this scandalous turn of events.
