HEADLINES MAY
The broken heart of the Wizarding World; a sad day goes down in Wizarding history as two deaths shatter the hopes and dreams of many...
POTTER IS DEAD
A world in mourning dawns as it has now been officially confirmed by the Ministry that Harry Potter has been killed in the battle of the Burrow (the home of the Weasley family), by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Witnesses have reported that a masked Death Eater pulled his body from the burning Burrow only to be murdered by the monstrous dark wizard. We never thought this day would come, and many do not even want to believe the reports and the accounts of witnesses. The Ministry advise everyone not to panic and to stay strong.
GINERVA WEASLEY IS KILLED
The tragedy deepens as we learn the daughter of the Weasley family was also killed at the battle. It is thought she was killed trying to defend Harry who it has been rumoured she was in love with. We send our many condolences to the family and friends of the girl.
Professor Minerva McGonagall is quoted to have said she was a 'popular, lively girl with the brightest of futures; a model Gryffindor'. This truly is a dark day for us all.
AURORS STILL MISSING
Two of the Ministry's top Aurors, Ken Bonobo and Kingsley Shacklebolt, have been reported missing for months and now there are fears rumoured that they have also been killed. The search is on. If anyone has any information they are encouraged to come forward and be reassured that you will receive as much protection as the Ministry can offer.
DRAGON AT ST MUNGOS?
After the terrible attack at St Mungo's last month, talks are in place to keep a dragon in the Atrium following the success of the Dragon security at Gringotts. Dragon keeper Bojan Vladislav is not sure however: Not only is it cruel, but to keep a dragon in a confined space is more dangerous than the threat of a Death Eater attack.' By Merlin man, we hope you are right.
Cooler, stormy
OFF WITH HIS HEAD
By Tallia Gauthier
Vampire rockstar, Lorcan d’Eath, has been let off with a caution after threatening to “rip the head off” of a drunken fan at a packed gig last week. The man in question was shouting loudly through one of d’Eath’s famous haunting ballads, provoking the extreme reaction. Of course, WW cannot condone violence, but we have to say, we find the fanged fiend bad-boy image rather attractive.
WOOD'S GOT WOOD
By Tallia Gauthier
Geek-sheik Quidditch star, Oliver Wood, has recently enrolled in a carpentry course, our sources tell us. Wood reportedly likes to unwind at the workshop with his wand and chisel after long days at the pitch. I think you’ll agree, he sounds like a handy man to have around when you need a bedside table. So ladies, get practicing your woodworking skills if you, like us, would like to have Wood furnishing your bedroom.
Welcome to Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire. Introduce yourself, leave your cloak with the house elf and come on in. To new guests: do not come in until the door has been opened to you and read Lucius' Rules before attempting so. Tut tut.
Formal meetings are held in the dark but grand gothic-like Dining Hall but the more inviting grandiose Drawing Room is for informal gatherings with your fellow residents and hosts.
A room for Manor residents to send and collect their indispensable owl post. Also, a place to leave handy and quick notes for fellow residents and their hosts to see.
At the top end of the hallway with the Master chambers is Lucius's Suite and Draco's Chambers. You will find the Guest Chambers here and a staircase that goes back down to the lowest floor which holds the luxurious Sunken Baths Also find the Portrait galleries and Reading Room here.
Can all be found down a long dark stone stairway. If someone undesirable has sneaked into the manor then get them in the Malfoys' underground dungeon and leave them to fester until questioning and torture is over. Also, Grimley the House elf's cold bare room is here.
The headquarters of the Ministry of Magic is located in the heart of London. The actual structure is all underground, although magical windows show whatever weather Magical Maintenance has chosen for the day. A visitor to the MoM comes to a broken-down red telephone box and must state their business. Then the telephone box takes them down to the Atrium.
Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, located in an old department store called Purge & Dowse in London. Speak to the mannequin in the window to enter....
The eerie Black's family home, ownership reclaimed by Harry Potter and used as headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix - much to Kreacher's disgust. Only members of the Order knew of its secret location and despite some Death Eaters sighted nearby, they are unable to get inside, making it one of the safest places in the Wizarding World to be.
The world-famous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With an ever increasing threat to students' safety, it's no wonder the number of students is at an all time low. Still, the stars in the Great Hall shine on, Remember - there is no apparating in or out of the Castle!
A beautiful picturesque village with quaint wizard shops and cottages. Do you fancy a Butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks or stocking up on your favourite sweets at Honeydukes? Then shop here!
Wizard prison, now overtaken by Lord Voldemort. Located on a remote and lonely island off the North coast. Apparating to or from the fort is impossible for those who do not have a Dark Mark. And watch out for the Dementors, who are now under the command of Voldemort...
This is where you'll find the quaint, cramped but cheerful home of the Weasleys. Four storeys high and rather precariously built, but a loving, welcoming home all the same. Send all your owl letters to the Weasleys here.
Malfoy Manor isn't the only old Wizarding mansion of the UK - there are a series of old manors owned by the 'upper class' old Wizarding families that are almost as grand and also Unplottable and invisible to Muggles. Only close associates would know how to locate each one.
Not every wizard in the world is wealthy enough to afford a mansion, or even an unplottable place. Those who can not may live among muggles, or in small wizard communities.
The disturbance in the Wizarding World sometimes spills over into the unsuspecting Muggle World leaving a trail of mystery and mayhem when it does - government officials on both the Muggle & Wizarding World have to work hard to make sure the worlds stay separate... Here you will find any location in Muggle UK - also you will find 'Godric's Hollow' a Muggle village with an increasingly dwindling Wizarding community.
