The influential Italian pureblooded family-tree is stunned by malicious gossip spread about them in Great Britain. Mr. and Mrs. Swallow, pureblooded businessmen, has apparently been spreading rumours that the young Morgana Graas is not fully human. The Graas’ are appalled by such accusations and call upon everyone’s common sense to realise the foolishness of such a claim.
The current head of the Graas family tree, one of the oldest pureblooded lineages in Italy, Kris Graas, is known to have been bitten by a werewolf a decade ago. That seems to have ignited the current rumour that his youngest daughter is a subpar human.
The heir to the Graas family tree, Rister Mordred Graas, graciously responded to the questions of our reporters, while being the gallant example of a high class gentleman. “The accusations are demoralising and unjust,” the young heir stated. “It is widely known that werewolves are unable to reproduce. That alone shows that my youngest sister possible couldn’t be the outcome of my father being bitten in an unfortunate accident.”
When our reporters wondered if the unfortunate occasion that turned Kris Graas into a werewolf had any effect on his marital life, Rister Graas laughingly responded: “I do not make a habit of checking what goes on in my parent’s bedroom in the middle of the night. You must excuse me, as I’m unable to answer that question.”
It is also known that Ashlyn Swallow, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Swallow, has been seen in close company of the second oldest son of Kris Graas, Damon Graas, lately. When our reporters wondered how the young woman would be taking to this situation, Rister Graas displayed a remarkable amount of grace and charm. “Such a situation must be extremely difficult for Ashlyn. I do wish she were allowed a bit of peace in this matter, even while I’m sure her relationship with my brother will only solidify itself in the face of such sensitive hardships.”
The Graas family-tree is mainly based in Italy, but it has widely-spread businesses. It has already been reported that the different representatives of Graas’ in all corners of the world have already terminated or are in the middle of process of terminating business co-operation with the Swallows and their closest business associates, even if the alternatives are not as financially advantageous.
Is this an organised counter-blow to the Swallows? “Morgana is a lovely girl. She is very distraught about this malicious rumour. Our relatives would surely not wish to cause her any further distress,” Rister Graas evasively remarked.
Our reporters wondered what would soothe the Graas family line again, as it is widely known that their family motto says ‘My Honour Is My Life’. This question if a public apology was expected was also presented to Rister Graas. “My sister is incredibly upset, even if she puts forth a brave front,” the young heir responded. “A public apology is very courteous, but I do hope there is no further damage done to my sister’s reputation.”
The reporters of the Daily Prophet also inquired how the business associates of Mr. and Mrs. Swallow took to the rumours. “We are stunned that our business partners would spread malicious rumours about a child,” said Mr. Arden, the CEO of Arden Broom-Care Company.
“I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Morgana Graas. She was a tiny slip of a girl, very elegant and conservative. Hardly someone who’d run around wild ripping people to shreds in the night,” commented Mr. Portberg, from Portberg International Real Estate Development Company. “We will surely be revising our own business with the Swallows and offer our sincerest condolences to the Graas family. As Rister Graas pointed out, werewolves are unable to have children. I can’t see what the purpose of this rumour was.”
The support of the public seems to be firmly rest with the Graas family. Unfortunately, we have been unable to receive a comment from the Swallows at this point.
