It's a rare thing for us wizards and witches to celebrate Muggle Holidays. The celebrating of Guy Fawkes day started over fifty years ago, when a group of Muggleborns decided to hold their own festivities. This attracted the attention of those who didn't know the holiday. Now, bonfires pop up in all sorts of wizarding locations, though many attribute that to the fact that wizards and witches tend to like fire.
Last night, a bonfire in Godric's Hollow was interrupted by several of it's attendees growing hair out of their ears and sprouting boils all over their bodies. Ministry authorities were alerted immediately, but no culprits were found. All of those whom were injured were apparated to St. Mungos, where they have been treated. Those will less serious injuries were released this morning, but there are still a handful still left at St. Mungos.
An investigation is under way to find who disrupted the event.
It appears that the Auror forces are going to have to spread their forces far and wide. Nowhere and no one is safe from the wrath of these elusive Knights. Just recently, a child from Hogwarts was obliviated while trying to sneak out to Hogsmeade. No one is sure why the Knights were outside of Hogwarts, but the reason can't be good.
Todays alarming news, Mrs. Ginny Potter (formerly Weasley) was Confunded this morning while out with her mother, Molly, in Diagon Alley. The two had plans to visit Madame Malkins for new robes and the Apothecary for supplies for their homes, but their plans were halted almost abruptly. Mrs. Potter and her mother had only just arrived and were walking toward their first destination, as normal, a few photographers followed Mrs. Potter around and asked her questions. As the wife of Harry Potter and a former Holyhead Harpies star, Mrs. Potter was used to being bombarded with questions and was quite evasive. Her mother and her took side streets to get to their location in a futile attempt to reach the robe shop.
Right before they entered the robe shop, something happened. Mrs. Potter suddenly became confused and disoriented. Her mother suspected illness at first before she noticed the classic signs of a severe Confundus charm. Normally, when cast in light, the spell merely makes the victim confused and a bit out of it, when a strong one is cast it can possibly cause damage to the brain, causing the person to be fairly jumbled in the mind permanently.
Help was called for and soon St. Mungos staff and Aurors alike showed up at the scene. Mrs. Potter was taken immediately St. Mungos, in hopes of corrected any damage that might have been done to her brain due to the severity of the charm. Mrs. Potter's husband showed up to the scene and began inspecting the wands of each and every visitor and shopkeeper in Diagon Alley. Unfortunately, no wand matched the Confundus charm, but Harry Potter is not stopping there. He has a few Aurors stationed in Diagon Alley, including his brother-in-law, Ron Weasley. People will watched and hopefully an incident like this will not happen again.
Ginny Potter, age 42, is said to be in a promising condition. St. Mungos officials say that it appears that the damage doesn't look so severe at this time and she may very well be on the road to a quick recovery. At the present time, Mrs. Potter is being kept in the hospital and undergoing several tests and procedures.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! It appears we all need to be on our look outs. An elderly woman spotted a werewolf lurking ouside her home. She immediately bolted for her wand, contacted the Ministry, and went to address this werewolf.
The woman says that as soon as she stepped onto her porch the werewolf went into hiding. Whether or not he disappeared or was merely hiding so that he could spring a surprise attack on her, no one knows. A Ministry official arrived a short time after and inspected the scene, declaring the zone "Werewolf Free".
I wouldn't put too much into this account given by the Ministry. We all know how accurate their assessments are.
