Brothers Re-United!  
After his tear-jerking plea for help during the World Cup earlier this year, we were all rooting for MATT SUMMERBY to find his long-lost brother. And it looks like he finally has! Let's all have a collective AWWWWW!



We can indeed confirm that this is Matt's younger brother CALEB SUMMERBY, who was adopted fifteen long years ago from the orphanage the two boys were left in after their parents were murdered. What a wonderful ending to a tragic beginning! We're so happy for the two brothers, but some people aren't as thrilled as we here at the Tattler are!

Overheard while on lunch with her brother, DELILAH SPINNET, Matt's girlfriend of nineish months, let her true feelings out about the matter.

"I don't like it. The whole thing is weird," she said of Matt and Caleb's loving and growing relationship. "All of a month of knowing him and he's moving in? It's dumb, right?" Now, now, Miss. Spinnet, that's not very nice! How would you feel if Matt talked about your long-lost brother that way? She was even caught saying that she didn't like Matt's brother, but we're sensing a bit of jealousy?!

"I HATE ALL OF THIS!" See? Super jealous.

"He won't even tell him he's a wizard, let alone this famous quidditch player. I don't even understand."

We don't understand either, Delilah!

First Day of the Preseason!  
We're only a day into the quidditch preseason and things are already looking interesting! No, no, we're not going to bore you with logistics and snitch dive speeds---there's other radio shows for that.

Our eyes were glued on the Catapults' pitch, where their lovely-got-a-few-screws-loose captain was spotted wearing a very interesting jersey! Don't worry, it was still that hideous scarlet and neon green combo those folks in Caerphilly love and adore!

So, how was it different, you say? Well, emblazoned on the back was none other than the captain's maiden name of 'Llewellyn,' which was quite the shock for our reporters here! It was a big deal for the legacy player to put her husband's last name on her jersey, so it's only made us wonder...is there trouble in Parkin Paradise?


We'll get to the bottom of this latest development! Share your thoughts in our public journal!

Rising Star's Traumatic Past Revealed!  

Were you surprised when the rising star of the quidditch league, Matt Summerby of the Cannons was not asked to participate in this year's European Cup? Us too! We at The Tattler thought it was awfully strange that Matty didn't put his name in the pool to represent his country, so of course we needed to find out why!

Our super sleuths discovered the seeker's tragic past that has been a well-hidden secret since the tender age of nine. Matty's parents, Matthew Sr. and Jane Summerby, were victims of the Manchester Mass Muggle slaughter of 1965, leaving poor Matty alone and orphaned.

No wonder Matty didn't opt to represent a country! He probably has no idea where his family hails from, being separated from them at such a young age!

We tried to approach his agent, a naïve rookie by the name of Phoebe Doge, on the matter, but she didn't answer our owls! Tsk, tsk!

How depressing!!! Let's hope for some more happy days for our favorite Cannon (though with their history, doesn't seem like his luck will last for much longer! Eep, sorry!)

Here's a sneak peek: "He wouldn't want me to say this, but it's the truth---his family is so controlling and overbearing!"
