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.
