Secret's Out: Muggle Literature Reveals Magical World
Matilda Hopkins


At quarter past eight this morning both Muggle and Magical world alike were shocked as several Muggle newspapers released front page articles proclaiming the existence of the Magical world. Each article giving frighteningly accurate depictions of such places as Diagon Alley and Platform 9 3/4, including the exact means of entering each area, information that has strictly been kept within Wizarding circles for years.

The reaction of the Muggle populace has been varying in terms of this new development. First hand accounts have been ranged from both fear to fascination. One Muggle had this to say, "It's completely unnatural! If it was something to be proud of than why have these people remained hidden instead of sharing their abilities with the rest of the world? Witchcraft is a sin. It always has been and it will always be."

Questions have been raised about how such detailed information has reached the ears of the Muggle population. Many believe that it is coming directly from an inside source and fingers are already starting to point. When asked about these allegations the Minister of Magic had no comment besides saying that both the Magical and Muggle Ministries were in the process of determining the source of the leak.

With this break of the International Statute of Secrecy, the Obliviator's office has been working non-stop to attempt to stop the spreading of this information, but as more and more Muggles read the articles the success of the department has weakened. Thankfully, the reaction has been kept to a minimum, many muggles not yet taking the information at face value, but this reporter has to wonder if this will be an isolated incident. At one point we shared a period of cooperation, but in a world far more complicated than that of Ancient Greece and Egypt one has to wonder the long term ramifications of Muggle awareness.
