Werewolf Attacks Spur Outrage
By Eleanor Bledsoe, G.H.B.I.C.M.
The Ministry of Magic released an official statement regarding the brutal werewolf attacks on three innocent citizens during last week’s full moon. Prior to today’s statement, the Ministry refused to release any information, prompting outrage by London’s citizens over the delay of information. One of the victims has been named as Hannah Abbott, a Muggleborn owl trainer and barmaid. Abbott was attacked late Thursday night after leaving her closing shift at the Three Broomsticks. Two other attacks occurred across the country at similar times, leading experts in Lycanthropy to assume these were not accidental attacks, but coordinated acts. “Werewolf attacks simply do not happen like this,” said Gretchen Cooke, author of We Share the Moon and noted scholar of werewolf lore. “A single attack here and there on a full moon is one thing, but three within an hour of each other? Simply doesn’t happen.”
	Abbott was treated at St. Mungo’s following her attack and was released on Friday into the care of family and friends. She is expected to make a full physical recovery, but the scars from her attack and the disease of Lycanthropy will be permanent. The names of the two other victims have not been released by the Ministry. One of the victims was so badly mutilated that Healers at St. Mungo’s are still working to repair the body enough to identify it. The other victim was a muggle University student. He remains at St. Mungo’s while he acclimates to his new condition and the magical world. Bill Weasley, who suffered an attack by the infamous war criminal Fenrir Greyback, but was not bitten or infected with Lycanthropy, argued that werewolves as a group should not be held responsible for these attacks.	"You cannot blame an entire group of people for the actions of a select few. I hope these werewolves are found and brought to justice for their crimes, but it does not mean that every person infected with Lycanthropy is a killer. It is no different than saying because some purebloods or muggleborns have committed crimes, all of them are evil and should be punished.” Pansy Parkinson, who has championed the Werewolf Protection Act, disagreed and expressed her disdain over the Ministry’s handling. “Our citizens must be protected from these vicious, violent animals. These attacks have proven that werewolves must be controlled, lest every citizen of London fear for their lives at every full moon. The Ministry has done nothing and should be ashamed. Were my laws passed when they should have been, these attacks never would have occurred.” The Werewolf Protection Act, which was originally slated for a vote on November 7 and was tabled for unspecified reasons, will move to a final vote on Monday.

Current Happenings

While socialite Pansy Parkinson has firmly denied any relationship with newly-single Marcus Flint, sources say the sexual sparks have been flying. The normally frigid Parkinson has been spotted donning silk scarves and exiting Marcus Flint’s flat building with a smile on her face. Also spotted in the company of Mr. Flint? Astoria Greengrass. Are these three enjoying a pureblood ménage a trois? Hopefully they’ll enjoy it while the laws still permit it…

In the meantime, Katie Bell has given up trying to keep up with Flint’s dalliances via her various lesbian lovers. Instead, she’s moved on to rich Quidditch patrons, the older the better. Rumor is that Bell is doing her best to romance and marry a wealthy wizard in order to claim his fortune when he dies. Finally, it looks like little Miss Perfect has come to terms with her pureblood heritage…

Ginny Weasley also reportedly has developed a thing for bad boys recently. Earlier this week she was spotted leaving Flourish and Blott’s, looking rather hot and bothered, followed shortly after by a smirking Blaise Zabini. From Harry Potter, Boy Hero, to a former Death Eater? That’s quite a departure. Potter is apparently devastated by the budding romance, and hasn’t been seen in public for weeks…

Speaking of budding, does Daphne Greengrass-Warrington have a bun in the oven? Sources close to the pureblood witch say those rumors are completely false, perpetrated by Greengrass herself to hide the fact that married bliss has added a stone or two. Greengrass has reportedly hired a special trainer to visit her home and help her work off the weight, but all efforts have failed. It seems when her husband is away, Mrs. Warrington can’t help but eat everything in sight. And Mr. Warrington is often away…

Unfortunately, Lavender Brown and Bill Weasley are not enjoying married bliss. Bill Weasley has once again fallen for the charms of the lovely Fleur Delacour. The two were spotted in deep conversation at Gringott’s bank, holding hands and with Weasley tenderly caressing Delacour’s perfect veela face. Brown apparently is in denial that her impromptu marriage is already falling apart, and Parvati Patil, former best friend and lover of Brown has firmly rebuffed any of Brown’s pleas for sexual comfort…

Speaking of couples in trouble, are Roger Davies and Mandy Brocklehurst calling it off already? Davies allegedly popped the question earlier this month, but Brocklehurst was nowhere to be seen this weekend when Portree caught a lucky break and managed to win a game. Davies and the team celebrated like a regular bunch of bachelors, with plenty of girls and booze, and Davies certainly didn’t act like a man with a fiancée waiting back home. In fact, Davies and Brocklehurst haven’t been seen in public together since late October…

That’s all for this week, loves. Behave yourselves!
