MUGGLE CHILDREN IN DIAGON ALLEY
By Reginald Howard, Reporter
Twenty-three muggle children were found unsupervised in Diagon Alley shortly after noon today. They were unable to identify or even describe the person who brought them, but each was in possession of a small business card featuring the logo of the anti-Statute of Secrecy group OSTENDO. The cards identified the children as orphans and claimed wizards were responsible for their parents deaths. While not all the children have been positively identified yet, the claim does appear to be true. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement confirmed that at least four of the children had parents who were killed when the Millennium Bridge was destroyed by Death Eaters.
A spokesperson for the Minister for Magic assured the Daily Prophet that the children will be Obliviated and returned to their homes as soon as they are identified.
