Devines Welcome Son

Mrs. Devine delivers late on Feb 25

Mr. Roberto Devine, well-known member of respectable society and sponsor of the Kenmare Kestrels quidditch team, welcomed a son late on February 25th. His wife, socialite Ophelia Devine, had announced the pregnancy late last summer.

The child, who appears quite healthy, has been named Nicholas Cian Devine, in tribute to both grandfathers. Dario Nicholas Dippet is the belated patriarch of Mrs. Devine's natal family, while Cian Devine resides with his wife in Ireland.

Mrs. Devine is said to be on bed-rest following a difficult labor, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Mireille Lécuyer Elopes

It seems that elopement is in the air, as yet another couple has fallen prey to the temptations of marrying without the concent of their families. Although, in this peculiar circumstance, it seems that one family did approve of the arrangement. While the bride, the new Mrs. Mireille Smith, did not have approval from her father, Mr. Sun Smith did have approval - and even attendance! - from members of his family.

Not only did Mrs. Smith choose to marry without the consent of her family, but married one below her station and blood status. The Lécuyer family are known for their strict purist leanings, though some have mentions Mrs. Smith's lack of acceptance towards these views. Mr. Lécuyer has chosen to disown his daughter in light of these events, though has made no comments to the matter.

Mr. Lécuyer may not have been available for comment, but we were able to receive a brief letter from Mrs. Smith's twin sister, Mrs. Odette Tailler, "While very disappointed in my sister, I am sad to say that I am not surprised. Mireille has had trouble with our status and its expectations all of our lives." Some have speculated that Mrs. Smith has made this marital decision in an act of rebellion towards her sister's choice to move to France.
