Mr. Baxter Keene, 39, director of Hogsmeade Hospital reportedly wed Mrs. Odira Potter, 24, of Bartonburg in an intimate ceremony at the Bartonburg home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Browne, yesterday.

Though the two had oft been seen in company with one another, this reporter's sources cannot seem to make up their minds as to whether or not this came as a surprise, as no formal announcement was ever made. One source claims the pair had been engaged for some six months, while another declares the union a spontaneous elopement.

Regardless, many a mother in Hogsmeade will surely be in mourning to have so eligible a bachelor as Mr. Keene off the market. His new wife, some readers may recall, was the widow of the late Mr. Bennet Potter, but before that was the kidnapping victim of the dastardly Jasper Bryce.

Only family and close friends of the couple were present for their nuptials. The paper cannot definitively say that the new Mrs. Keene's former sister-in-law, the vampire Charlotte Potter, wasn't in attendance.
