Harry Potter captures Lilith Lestrange alive
Harry Potter, Head Auror and the hero of the Wizarding World have set an outstanding example today by capturing a notorious criminal Lily 'Lilith' Lestrange (née Potter), a commendable choice which would help to place her before Wizengamot and bring her to justice for her crimes.
Speculated to be one of the Dark Lord's followers, Lily (or 'Lilith' as she calls herself after her scandalous wedding) is suspected guilty of murdering an Auror on duty, as well the esteemed and sorely-missed Chief of Wizengamot and his wife, who most likely knew their would-be murderer as their young grand-niece Lily, before her horrible capture and subsequent conversion to the life of crime.
With his exemplary actions yesterday, Head Auror Potter honored the memory of the fallen victims, a gesture which would surely not go unnoticed by the Chief's mourning daughter, Audrey Weasley. Once more, Harry Potter proved that family ties cannot stand on the way of justice, a revelation which serves many of our readers to rest easily in the knowledge that the Wizarding World and the Auror Department are in excellent hands.
When asked whether this was a difficult choice to make, Harry Potter declined to comment. Yet one cannot help but wonder whether the joint burden of duty and responsibility, as well as the tragic strain of failure as a father if not as a dutiful citizen have affected Harry Potter's health and personality more than what was seen at first glance.
When approached, Junior Under Secretary for the Office for Media and Communications James Potter stated the following: My family has always sacrificed whatever was asked of it to keep our world safe. Once again my father has shown his commitment to protect everyone despite personal loss.
Death Eaters attack Head Auror Potter's Residence
On the morning of May 11th, a large-scale Death Eater attack left Godric's Hollow a place of wreckage with the Dark Mark maiming the sky above it.
Even though a minimal victim count was reported, Head Auror Potter's residence is completely destroyed in the curse fire. It seems that the house was targeted specifically after the Aurors' capture of Death Eater Lily Lestrange (née Potter) which occurred the day prior.
Historically known as the location of death of Harry Potter's parents and the place of Voldemort's first defeat, Godric's Hollow is a tragic place which has seen many murders. Nonetheless Harry Potter chose the location, stained by the Killing Curse and past injustices, as a place to raise his own children, a choice which now leaves him with a ruined home.
Is the Wizarding World's favourite hero more troubled by his tragic past than he might like to admit?
