HUNDREDS DEAD IN ATTACK ON MUGGLE THEATRE
Quinley Habbernash - DP London
LONDON - Hundreds of muggles are dead following a vicious attack on the Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End. Bodies continued to mount as muggle and wizarding authorities sort through the aftermath of a terrible, merciless attack by Death Eaters early yesterday evening.
"This is like nothing we've ever seen before," said Department of Magical Law Department head, Bartemius Crouch Sr. "It's just. Horrible is the only way I can think to describe, and even that does not seem descriptive enough to convey the brutality of this mass murder of innocent people."
While exact details of the attack are unknown, a compilation of statements made to muggle "policemen" and the DMLE determined that shortly after eight yesterday evening, an unspecific number of Death Eaters entered the historic theatre, emerging shortly thereafter, setting the building on fire and sending the Dark Mark up into the sky. The fire grew out of control, and authorities and muggle "firemen" were too late to stop it. Rescue crews and the DMLE have spent the night and morning sorting through the debris and dead bodies.
"It's a nightmare, plain and simple," Auror department head, Alastor Moody, told the Daily Prophet.
Critics suspect that the attack was You Know Who's retaliation for Millicent Bagnold's statement yesterday morning. Her office was unavailable for comment.
We will release more details as this story progresses.
