Scandal rocked the wizarding world yesterday when news broke that a house elf named Codkey was actually a cat named Teddy.

“It came as quite a shock to us,” said Wendy Cresswell, whose family employed Codkey. “We immediately gave him a scarf to set him free when we found out. Though I guess… was that even necessary if he was a cat all along? I’m so confused.”

Officials at the Ministry of Elf Labor, which oversees house elf work assignments, aren’t sure how the cat was able to slip through their system.

“We thoroughly check every house elf we place,” said Argus Crabbe, a spokesperson for the Ministry. “We employ both archival research-based background checks as well as magical tests. We’ve no idea how Teddy slipped by us.”

Nor is it clear what the cat’s motives were for posing as a house elf. He could not be reached for comment.

Area cat and self-espoused “ladies’ man” Mr. White lives up to his moniker, according to friends.

“He’s on Tinder all day,” says Robin Seagrim, a friend of Mr. White who keeps close tabs on his dating life. “He’s a handsome guy, I’m not shy about saying so. The girls love him.”

But he runs into trouble when bringing his dates home. “He’s a little – how should I put this – self-absorbed,” says Seagrim. 

Multiple sources have confirmed that Mr. White’s bedroom decor includes a giant throw pillow with his own face on it.

“I’m not sure what he’s trying to accomplish,” says Seagrim. “But apparently he’s brought home a few dates who are so freaked out by it, they bolt on the spot.”
