Feburary might be behind us, but love is definitely in the air. Monte Cameron, starting keeper for the Falmouth Falcons, was looking quite comfortable with muggleborn war hero Justin Finch-Fletchley at the recent Kenmare Kestrels versus Falmouth Falcons game. And this isn't the first time they've been spotted out and about together!
Finch-Fletchley recently rose to prominence at the January meeting of the British & Irish Quidditch League Commissioners Meeting. It was there he introduced the idea of restarting the Banchory Bangers, who were officially disbanded in [date] after breaking several wizarding laws, including intent to steal a dragon.
We first got a hint of their romance at the opening of Abercrombie and King, where their friendly banter caught the eyes and ears of everyone around them. Finch-Fletchley soon became a fixture at Falcons games, wearing a Cameron jersey "He [Finch-Fletchley] has been in the stands since December," said Donatus

Baker, ardant Falcons Fan. "Lad's been nothing but polite, which is why he stands out. I admit, I was a touch worried about all of that pink stuff, but it goes quite well with Falcons grey!"
Reportedly, their first appearance out as a couple was at fellow Quidditch player Mary Maddox and Barry Ryan's Burns Night celebration. "They couldn't take their hands off one another!" One party goer told us. "To be young and in love again!"
The couple, who have not made any public statements to confirm or deny their relationship, despite having reached out to both young men. This has led to some questioning if maybe Finch-Fletchley is ashamed of his boyfriend. One insider revealed, "Monte has had Justin over to his flat loads of times, but I don't think the favour has
ever been returned. It’s curious really."
While this is a certain possibility, other sources close to the couple let it slip that a

holiday is currently in the works! "Justin has planned everything down to the last detail, including buying a brand new yacht just for this very trip." Reportedly, the couple will be spending their time in the Mediterranean. Sun, surf, and sand. What could be more romantic?
The pair certainly looked happy at the twenty-one hour long game, staying the entire length. About the only issue of contention between them might be who wins Circe Magazine’s Annual Best Rear of the Year! Get excited, the list is coming out soon.

UPLIFT: A Movement of Pink
Insiders credit the so-called Muggleborn Pink movement, now officially known as the Uplift Foundation, as bringing these two lads together. Started by Jason King of the Montrose Magpies, they have been a visible in the Quidditch stands since December, after Cameron’s and his sister Isla’s departure from the Pride of Portree. The Foundation aims to create an equal playing field and sustain a vital, prosperous community where justice and opportunity are extended to all members of wizarding society.
Kenmare Kestrels Seeker, Aidan Lynch put it much more succinctly after the Kestrels' recent landslide victory. "The war is over, but the struggle is not... Muggleborns are here to support each other... You have people behind you. Uplift is about that support."
Beyond the Quidditch Pitch, the Foundation has also found support from prominent muggleborns and other Ministry officials. Even The Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter has been spotted wearing a lapel pin of the signature colour, though when asked about his latest accessory, his only response was that he had to go fill out some paperwork. Such dedication from one of the aurors who keeps us safe is admirable and should be a model for all members of the Ministry.
Divination is often a difficult and vague branch of magic, but we can predict that pink will be the hot new colour of the season. From frocks to cloaks, hats to scarves. Both Gladrags and Madam Malkin’s have been stocking a variety of shades for the discerning witch or wizard. For more fashion trends, turn to page 33 ¼.
