Peace and Love:

It's the 10th of February and life is good. The feeling of love is in the air as Valentine's Day is a mere four days away!

The whole school seems to be buzzing with talk of the dance and couples are pairing off rapidly.

Nothing could go wrong... right?

Masquerade Massacre:

When things had been going so well, they suddenly turned so dismal. At the Midsummer Masquerade Ball the band decided to attack with the aide of students and faculty. A good number of the defending ball goers died or were severely injured as a result.

A news blurb from after the attack:

"In other news the Midsummer Masquerade ended in an attempted massacre. The creatures in the band that was playing took a break about half way through the dance and for seemingly no reason began to attack students. There was no earlier indication that anything might have been off according to students and faculty. The ministry has taken one band member into custody, the others escaped arrest.

There are rumors it may be the work of a well developed imperius curse and thus of a new villainous threat to the wizarding world. Nothing is definitive as of yet though and there are an equal amount of rumors saying it was simply because the band members were creatures and thus naturally inclined toward violence and it was the fault of Hogwarts to employ such 'vile beings' to entertain when they are known to be unpredictable and dangerous."

Murder,Redrum:

Just as things seemed to settle down the murder of Armand Felchorn once again rocked the wizarding world.

Mr. Felchorn was the second in command of the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic. He had recently been undercover in Knockturn Alley trying to dredge up some information of those involved in the Masquerade Massacre, but before he could catch on to anything he was swiftly murdered in the middle of the night. It appears the killer used the Avada Kedavra curse, but the Ministry is unable to say for sure.

Closer to Home:

The media has just gotten wind of this newsflash - sometime late last week the Deputy Ministress of Magic herself was brutally attacked and severely injured by someone that the Ministry suspects of being the leader of the creatures linked with the Hogwarts Massacre and the death of Armand Felchorn, another Ministry official. It would seem he surprised her in the alley on her way home and she barely survived. When she apparated to St. Mungo's the nurses described her as "bloody from head to toe, pale, and in all other aspects looking like a corpse" - they were quite shocked.

When we attempted to interview the Deputy Ministress she refused to make a statement. Is the Ministry trying to cover something up or was she perhaps threatened to keep her mouth shut? We don't know, but this isn't the last you'll hear on this issue.

Minister Missing In Action:

It seems the Ministry has kept this under wraps for some time. We were informed today by an unnamed source that the Deputy Ministress Fallon Grimwood has been promoted to Acting Ministress of Magic as the Minister George Sparewell has been officially declared missing.

Apparently he has been MIA for about two months now since he went to look into some leads. He was escorted by three aurors, all of which are missing along side the Minister. Our source was unable to say anything more on the subject presumably because the Ministry doesn't know anything else - nothing new for them these days.
