Harrowing Experiences in Hogsmeade
By: Nikki Malene

Late Friday afternoon, several professors and students, were declared dead by Regis Pulido, a medi-wizard at St. Mungo's. He described the cause of most deaths were from the Killing Curse. He went on further to comment that several Aurors, Ministry officials, and even Matthias Chadwick, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, promptly came to the aide of the grieving victims of Hogsmeade. The area was sealed off from further questioning and comment while this matter undergoes a full investigation, but this reporter was able to get an ear into the conversation before everyone departed on that tragic evening. It turns out that Auror, Adieus Lumien, confirmed my suspicion that it was the Killing Curse that had been used by several Dark Wizards for reasons unknown in an unofficial raid of unsuspecting students while in Hogsmeade after hours. Several professors who seemed to be looking for the students engaged in a confrontation with these Dark Wizards and came off poorly for their efforts. We were told not to print this story until later as Auror Adieus Lumien wanted to get the facts straight before this went out and not cause panic, but we at the Daily Prophet wanted to extend our sympathies to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and let them know we too share in their suffering. So far, there are no clues as to who is responsible for the murders. Rumors of Dark Arts activity are circulating, but the Minister of Magic vehemently denied it. Coincidentally, the Deputy Headmistress, Professor Autumn Beaumont, has been detained by the Ministry for questioning. She was sighted at St. Mungo's as well, the night several other victims were brought in. One can only wonder what part she has in all of this. More on this story will follow as soon as we have more information.

Our sincerest condolences go out to the families of the following deceased who have been identified at the harrowing events in Hogsmeade.

Troubling times seem to be ahead, and one can only wonder how much of this could have been prevented if Headmaster Matthias Chadwick had better reign on the happenings of Hogwarts. Further investigation is underway as we strive to retrieve accounts from witnesses such as Professor Viola Cooper, who will possibly be sent to St. Mungo’s for further treatment, Maddy Emmerson, Eleanor Armistead, Verrena Amsel, Tyler Manning, and Thom McClearly. Expect to hear live testimonies in the next edition from some of the students who made it through the attack and hear there tale.
