Leaky Cauldron Landlady Found Murdered, Dark Mark Left at Scene
Sunday morning, Hannah Abbott (formerly Abbott-Longbottom), landlady of the Leaky Cauldron, was found murdered at her flat above the pub.
Residents of Diagon Alley report seeing the Dark Mark above the Leaky Cauldron at 7AM on Sunday morning.
The Leaky Cauldron was in shambles, and Abbott apparently put up a fight before being struck with the Killing Curse.
Miss Abbott was a founding member of Dumbledore's Army, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. She then returned to Hogwarts to finish her sixth and seventh years, as she was pulled out of the school when her mother was murdered by Deatheaters.
Hannah Abbott married Neville Longbottom, current Professor of Herbology at Hogwarts, in 2003, and after more than sixteen years of marriage, they divorced amicably in 2019. She has owned and operated the Leaky Cauldron since 2005.
The Ministry of Magic is investigating the murder, but currently have no leads. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Ministry of Magic - anonymity will be guaranteed.

Neville sat at the teachers' table, accepting his Daily Prophet from a delivery owl. He unrolled his paper, and gasped at the front page story. He couldn't believe what he was reading - Hannah had been killed, and there was a dark mark on the scene? He was numb, and in a state of shock. Though he and Hannah had divorced, he still loved her (even if it was not a romantic sort of love), and he was going to take this really hard.
