‘HAVE

FAITH IN THE MINISTRY’
KINGSLEY Shacklebolt as called for the public to ‘have faith in the Ministry’ after thousands of howlers were sent to his office last night, just after the arrest of Dolores Umbridge. The Howlers were furious with Shacklebolt for ‘taking too long to arrest an evil criminal’. Allegations stating that if it had been anybody else (not a Ministry
employee) the whole investigation would have taken weeks not months. Shacklebolt has also said he will personally reply to every distressed witch or wizard as ‘no member of the public should be concerned with their justice system’.
Scared student
It has nearly been a year since the morning the Wizarding World woke up to the news that Lord Voldemort had been defeated. Although, across the World, Witches and Wizards that fully bothered me. But, as soon were not ready for celebrations - particularly at the Battle happened my Mum was in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, shock because there was no way I where the events unfolded. A student, who started could leave Hogwarts as we have no his second year at Hogwarts earlier this year, told broomsticks at home, and even if we the Daily Prophet that ‘Hogwarts wasn’t Hogwarts did, there would no-one to look after anymore’. Speaking in an interview with our me for months as my Mother works education correspondent, he told us: ‘I had loved for the Ministry and was stranded in my first year at Hogwarts so far. Of course, there Bolivia! I remember she had a very had been the threats that Voldemort was back; long letter exchange with Professor but, my parents theory was that he was dead in McGonagall and we made the first place and never returning – so none of arrangements for me to stay at that ever
‘hogwarts wasn’t Hogwarts anymore’ Hogwarts. Of course, she eventually sent a letter to each Hogwarts students’ parents explaining it was optional to stay at the school or not, but it is safe either way. So anyway, I stayed… and I wish I hadn’t. Teachers were just traumatised; you had to be so careful to what you said to every Professor in case you said something that might make them remember the events. I remember one time, Hagrid was teaching us and somebody pretended to be dead on the floor… just as a joke, and he started to crying…saying how horrible it was to see Harry Potter like that. Hogwarts just wasn’t Hogwarts for a while after the Battle.’ You can read more about victims of the event in our Battle remembrance issue next week.
The head Zookeeper released a statement via his weekly newsletter this morning reading: ‘We are aware of the incident that took place last night. It was a dangerous situation to be in for both the Muggle and the Wizarding World – although, all matters have been dealt with. The Unicorn is safe and well and we are currently going under procedures to ensure the safety of all animals within our company’.
HEALER: WE NEED MORE EQUIPMENT FOR THE WOUNDED Madam Pomfrey, exHogwarts nurse, is a recent employee at St. Mungo’s Hospital and was shocked when she discovered that the hospital was in need of more equipment. She has stated how she thought the hospital ‘was the best in the Wizarding World’ and was disappointed that the Ministry of Magic haven’t used their ‘common sense’ to recognise the need for more supplies to cater for those wounded in the Second Wizarding War. as a result of the War and the hospital need more supplies to cater for them.
Ex-AUROR: THERE’S NOT ENOUGH AURORS FOR INVESTIGATIONS
PROFESSOr: OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO persevere
John Dawlish – an ex-auror
that ‘they can’t fail because of the War.’ After angry letters
–has voiced his anger at the Ministry. He told The Daily Prophet, ‘Aurors have great reputations; but, when they fail or get attacked they suddenly become nothing. The thing is… it’s not their fault. We have a lack of Aurors and that’s why people lose their jobs.’ This may be in response to when Dawlish's powers were diminished somewhat as he was incapacitated and seemed to be attacked quite frequently.
Professor Binns, the infamous Ghost professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has told his students from parents flew in to his office barely days after the comment, some complaining that he was too ‘insensitive’, he released a statement: ‘This comment was not meant wrongly. I purely mean that when our children grow up, nobody will look at their NEWTS and let their excuse be it was because of the War. Most of those who wrote to me are children of the First War and I would be very surprised to hear that employees excused their exam results because of the War… even if they thought they would. So please understand, dear parents, this was done with the best of intentions. Our students have to persevere.’

On arrival, the inspector recognised the Ministry of Magic employee and watched her performance for approximately 14 minutes, before coming the conclusion that Ms. Hancock was indeed performing magic in front of Muggles. The decision to caution rather than fire was made by the Minister for Magic himself as he addressed the Department, who were in uproar. He said, ‘Ms. Lara Hancock wrongly acted. Although, we have never been aware for any wrongdoings in the past and she has apologised, knowing that she had made a mistake. From her actions, no Muggle was exposed to magic, there was only a risk. For that reason, we have decided that a strong caution will be put in place but nothing further.’ Lara Hancock declined to comment.
MUGGLE!
An employee from the Magical Equipment Control department at the Ministry of Magic has been cautioned for ‘careless use of magic’ in front of a muggle in London’s department store, Harrods. The employee openly a muggle born, has a Saturday job (a Muggle term for working on a Saturday) at the store. Her position was a ‘magician’ and would perform tricks for customers as they entered. It was soon discovered however, Lara Hancock, was using spells such as ‘Reducto’ and ‘Wingardum Leviosa’ to perform the tricks. After suspicions were raised when an anonymous source informed the Magical Equipment Control Director that Ms. Hancock had digulved this information to them, an inspector was sent to the shop.
A lost six year old wizard in Charing Cross, London asked a Muggle yesterday ‘When are we going to get to Diagon Alley?’ as the boy accidentally mistook the woman in her early 50’s for his mother. It is reported the Muggle responded with: ‘Diagonal Alley? What an earth is that?’ The Ministry of Magic said they will not act upon the incident as the boy was too young to be held responsible.’ It is believed that the Muggle called a official to help the child find his parents, they were found and reunited a mere 2 minutes after the event took place. The first ever customer, Annabel Rhum aged 56, using the Gladrags Owl Delivery Service was shocked when she received a t-shirt that read ‘don’t call me a mudblood’ rather than a pair of shoes. She told us, ‘I was offended. I find it ridiculous! Are they insinuating I am a mudblood? I find it preposterous they were even selling that item to be honest’. Gladrags say ‘it was an honest mistake with the Owls, the t-shirt was intended for a different customer’.

Gwenog Jones became a mother yesterday and was overwhelmed with pride and joy as she was seen leaving St. Mungo’s hospital with her husband Kenneth Hastings and their baby daughter. The new mother scraped her brown hair in to a flowing ponytail and sported a natural look while her husband emerged wearing his Quidditch robes as he had to abandon his match against Wigtown Wanderers just to arrive on the birth scene. Kenneth held the baby in a wiz-carrier and was seen charming the area around the baby for protective reasons. The birth of the baby, named Ellie, was released in a statement released to the Quibbler earlier today.
Viktor krum’s new calendar is released to the public Viktor Krum, the widely awarded Quidditch player and occasional model, has released a new calendar to the public featuring exclusive photos from his time as Triwizard Champion in 1994. The new merchandise from the Krum franchise is especially unique as it is a 2-year long, spanning from January next year to December the year after that. The calendar has already been released in his home country of Bulgaria, two weeks prior to the release in the United Kingdom and received a great response from his
fans. We are aware that the 24 photos within the calendar have been selected by Mr. Krum himself and he is very ‘pleased’ with all of them. In a recent interview with Bulgarian magazine ‘вещица седмично’ the version of our Witch Weekly, he said ‘I’ve got to say that my favourite month in the calendar is December. It was during my time at Hogwarts as Triwizard Champion and it really gives me good memories of the times I shared with such wonderful people’. According to surfacing rumours, the photograph used is Harry Potter’s original copy as no replica was able to be made on time for the release date; however, no confirmation has been made by either party.
w Writing for today’s student column is Hogwarts first year, Tom Verheij - who is discussing his experiences with Dolores Umbridge. Today’s topic? Umbridge. I don’t even know how to begin. Actually, I do know how to begin - she is pure evil! She was the headmaster at Hogwarts in my first year, and I really hated her. I thought that my first year at Hogwarts would be as amazing as I had heard about it from my brothers and sisters, but it was quite the opposite. I first heard about Umbridge when I found that she had replaced Dumbledore (the best headmaster out of all the headmasters in the world), I was in shock! I already hated her because I knew how great Dumbledore was, and it was because of her Hogwarts had lost him. But when I first arrived at the school, I did do my best to give her a chance, but it was when she started making stupid rules that affected the happiness of everybody at Hogwarts, it wasn’t just me who hated
Slytherin quidditch team see red as they lose 200 – 20 to gryffindors
Eldric Moore caught the snitch to give Hogwarts table leaders Gryffindor a vital victory over Slytherin. Slytherin set the platform for a win early in the second half with two quick goals from Tristan Reagan - but Gryffindor delivered a devastating response during the second half when the Slytherin team, led by Severus Snape, conceded four times when chasers August Moon and Demetrius Farrell scored two goals each for Gryffindor. August Moon laid low for the most of the game but burst into the chaos in the 29th minute - picking up a harsh telling off from referee, Madam Hooch, for elbowing Draco Malfoy and kicking Patience Ross. Draco Malfoy was then inches away from putting Slytherin back in front before Ginny Weasley scored another and was inevitably the central figure in the final twist that sent Gryffindor to a win. Later in the match, Eldric Moore caught the snitch (uninterestingly as he had missed five times prior), ending the match 200 – 20. Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy were amongst those to be congratulated at the end of the match by headmistress McGonagall for their services for the Hogwarts Quidditch team, as they are due to graduate from Hogwarts later this month.

her. It was war between her and the students. She was a very wicked witch who saw everything… even things that she as a teacher didn’t have a right to see. It wasn’t just that though, it was clear that she always wanted to hurt everyone at Hogwarts – her favourite way was through a blood quill. That thing is horrible! They should make that quill illegal or forbidden! A blood quill is a dark magical object of torture that is a type of quill that does not require ink, as it writes with the blood of the person using it. Whatever the author writes is carved onto the back of his or her hand, and the blood from the words sliced into the hand is magically siphoned and is

and then open up when the user writes again. Continuous use can leave a scar on the back of the hand... Obviously, lots of parents sent a complaint to Umbridge, but she ignored them! Typical. I even heard that Harry Potter and Hermione Granger almost killed her in the woods with a giant!? I laughed so hard when I heard that! Whether or not it’s true, I was so glad that she was finally gone from Hogwarts! It didn’t take long until she came back though, and this time at the Ministry of Magic. I knew that she would come back sometime, but I thought in like, 30 years or something. I heard what she did at the Ministry, apparently she tried to kill Mudbloods. My family had a lucky escape as we are half-bloods; but, I am still so glad she’s been caught I hope she never comes out of prison. I assume she won’t smile while she’s behind bars… and thank goodness for that! I hated her fake smile. I am truly really happy that she is in Azkaban, she doesn’t deserve a good life, she made the life of so many awful and now she should get the same back.

Dear Filius, My child is 10 (due to enter Hogwarts in two months) and seems to have control over what magic they perform, isn’t this a sign my child could be dangerous in later life? Dear Mary, Indeed, this is rare as only some magical children exhibit mild degrees of control over their magic and are able to use it with intent at this age. You may have heard that the late Albus Dumbledore said ‘it is unusual and even somewhat worrisome for a child to be able to control their magic before the age of eleven’. However, this does not mean your child will be dark wizard – in fact, it is known that Minerva McGonagall used to be able to make her Father’s bagpipes play themselves at a very young age. I do ask you to let your child know that this is normal and to ask them to try not to perform this magic until they arrive at Hogwarts (as an incentive). Please do not worry yourself either, it is important you know that once your child arrives at Hogwarts, you can voice your concerns and the professors here will work hard to make sure your child is a success.
Filius Flitwick.

The Knight Bus is receiving extra funding from the Ministry of Magic it was said this morning. Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Minster for Magic, said in a statement, ‘The Knight Bus is used literally 24/7 and has saved a considerable amount of Witches and Wizards in distress due to its unique ability to recognise a hand signal, universally known as a ‘help call’ by the global Wizard community.’ The decision was made after a petition signed by 50,000 in last weeks ‘Witch Weekly’. The idea for funding was created after William Waverford, a retired ink manufacter for Flourish and Blotts, was left injured after roof panelling fell on his head during a journey to Diagon Alley. This is also a follow up from when an Invisibility charm on the bus failed last year creating suspicion in the Muggle world.
Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour CLOSES IT DOORS forever
The Daily Prophet can reveal that one of Diagon Alley’s most popular ice-cream shops, Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream, is closing on Friday this week. The prompt to close was sparked after Florean Fortescue, owner of the parlour, was kidnapped and killed by Death Eaters in the midst of Voldemort’s return – leaving his wife to run the shop singlehandedly. Close friends of the couple told us, ‘They were best friends as well as a married couple, the place just isn’t the same now she has to serve alone. It gives her too many memories of Florean every time she serves a customer for her to continue.’
Harry Potter was amongst those who was saddened by the news saying, ‘I remember when Florean used to give me free ice-creams, it’s such a shame that the shop will have to be closed; but, I am sure the next owners will do something to keep his legacy revived’. You can visit the parlour, light a candle in remembrance of Mr. Florean Fortescue and receive a 10% discount on all ice-creams for sale from today at 4pm until Friday, 6pm this week.
MUGGLE book CONDEMNS WIZARDRY
A muggle-born has voiced her concerns after she noticed a children’s book for sale in large Muggle bookstore, Waterstones. It is reported the mother of three was browsing in the shop to purchase a book for her niece – who has no knowledge of the Wizarding World. She wrote to the Daily Prophet, telling us ‘I was browsing in the children’s section of course, and I came across a book named The Evil Three Horrible Witches, I have always known wizardry had been portrayed badly through Muggle literature but mostly, at the end of the novel, the witch or wizard seems to be portrayed well. It is shocking to me that our children are being told to hate wizardry’. The Witch has now started the ‘INFORM MUGGLES’ campaign and is asking any witch or wizard with connections to the Muggle world to come forward and raise awareness that wizardry is not evil.
A goblin stockbroker has spoken of his joy over the stock market. Marcolen Gobbings, who works for Gringotts, had seen Gringotts struggling to pay back loans after the Battle of Hogwarts, but was keen to let the public know that Gringotts had had a ‘great day yesterday’. The goblin stood outside the world-famous bank shouting, ‘GREAT DAY A recent report has declared that potion prices have ‘fallen dramatically’ over the last two weeks. The average retail price of a vile of standard ageing potion fell 4.9 sickles in Diagon Alley last week, but was still 10 sickles a vile higher than the national average. Last night, the average cost of a vile of potion in Diagon

I do not condone behaviour like this however; Gringotts is as prime and as proper as ever.’

The national average has decreased 13.8 sickles a vile in the past month and is 5.8 sickles a vile lower than a year ago. Tale Mokivch, a senior price analyst for the Ministry of Magic, said that retail prices have fallen at a much faster rate in the past days. He said that 48 out of 50 potion shops saw average price declines in the past week. Some of the largest declines have occurred in the West Country, where more and potion shops are under the 3 sickles a vile mark, he said.
