ARTICLE 4
link
Hello hello my lovely readers. Today is another day for another interesting article.
Over the years we have seen some super weird creatures in Hogwarts. Most of them belonged to that gigantic Keeper of the Keys and Grounds.
We saw a three headed dog causing our famous trio some trouble back in the days
And there was this bird/horse that almost killed a Hogwarts student that one time and vanished miraculously before his execution date
But even though they both look quite intimidating they have one thing in common. Deep in their hearts they are nice little pets. (At least as long as you know how to calm them^^)
And now, last night when I was doing my research tour around the castle I discovered something. There was a creature wandering around the castle, tall as a grizzly bear but its fur had very odd colors. Black and white to be more specific.
I did not know what it was and what it was doing here but I smelled a story coming off it and followed it around. I will spare you the brutal details. Trust me it was not nice to witness but believe me, there is no way to calm it down. It is pure evil!
I hope it can be stopped before he can do more harm.
Until then, have a great day my dear followers.

Now, let's go through each Article, quote-by-filthy-quote. However, I'll start with the latest one, which I feel is the most important yet, and work my way back.
ARTICLE 4 BREAKDOWN
"Over the years we have seen some super weird creatures in Hogwarts. Most of them belonged to that gigantic Keeper of the Keys and Grounds."
A reference to big-ass Hagrid, no doubt, and his penchant for keeping beastly pets like Buckbeak and Aragog.
"We saw a three headed dog causing our famous trio some trouble back in the days"
Now, I interpret this line two ways; the first, lore-wise, and the other, game-wise.
The lore-wise way: I vaguely remember that Cerberus-thing being positioned where it was to guard something, and the "famous trio" the Article mentions is Harry, Ron and Hermione? And they had to get past the dog-thing somehow.
The game-wise way: I guess it's no secret, even lore-wise, that the Harry, Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore Roles are part of an Inner Circle with a special mission. In-game, since I've already wasted "V" for you, that mission is to locate all the remaining Horcruxes and destroy them all to finally finish him off; the secondary Town Win condition, as I've stated before.
Since Harry/Retroid is gone, that "famous trio" the Article mentions, could possibly be alluding to myself as Dumbledore, with Ron and Hermione.
So, among us players, who or what is being alluded to with "three-headed dog", "causing some trouble to the trio back in the days"?
"And there was this bird/horse that almost killed a Hogwarts student that one time and vanished miraculously before his execution date"
Could this be a reference to Lord of Castamere and his heraldry-thing avatar, due to
But even though they both look quite intimidating they have one thing in common. Deep in their hearts they are nice little pets. (At least as long as you know how to calm them^^)
OK, this line.
Firstly, note that this line alludes to two different individuals having one thing in common;, that, "deep in their heart", they are "nice little pets".
This line can be interpreted so many different ways:
- A possible reference to and yet another confirmation of the existence of 2 Millers in-game, Burbeting and Lone_Prodigy
- A possible reference to Peter Pettigrew, who was Ron's pet rat/secret Animagus for many years. Possibly another Miller, but a 'reverse' one who shows up as Town
- A possible reference to Aragog, who was Hagrid's pet and was mistaken as the Chamber of Secrets' monster (which was actually a basilisk). Could Aragog be the poisoner, a Neutral Reverse Miller who must poison a set amount of victims to win to 'bring back to his children in the forest' as the lore explanation?
Secondly, this little notation at the end there, the "^^". It intrigues me. Of course, it could just be a smiley/emoticon/whatever, but I dare to believe that it's actually an indicator to look up somewhere. Likely at the text above that sentence? Or at the final words of each line above it?
If we do the former, we get these words, in top-down order and including the attached 'them' to the "^^":
"article."
"Grounds."
"days"
"date"
"them"
So, 'article grounds', as in the basis of the article's points?
