Summary: The report on the 'escape' and madness of the First Lady.
While the Minister has been seen constantly on and in the papers, our once fair First Lady has been suspiciously absent. With Minister Shacklebolt seen in many photos with other woman, one anonymous blonde in particular, it was coming to the conclusion that perhaps she and the Minister were in a rough patch. It seems, in the last day that may be closer than many of us came to believe.
In the late afternoon of yesterday, 18th November, Mrs Shacklebolt was found brashly waving a wand around, holding a man hostage outside she and her husband’s London home. Almost immediately the house was taken with Auror teams and Hitwizards. The First Lady was considered armed and highly dangerous. As many will recall from the announcement on the Minister and his wife’s engagement, Hestia Shacklebolt (nee Jones), had been a prominent Hitwitch herself in days prior. A job description considered highly specialized and many of the activities they are involved in part of the Department of Ministries.
After many attempts to talk her down from her delusional rampage in which she made claims the man she held hostage had regularly impersonating her husband and that she had been held prisoner in an unknown location; the Aurors and Hitwizards managed to surround her.
It seemed a dangerous counter-point, and after some wand work that seems to have left a fog of confusion amongst everyone, she managed to disintegrate both herself and the hostage man, now to be known as Alexander Gribbs-Comely, a prior Wizengamot member. All that was left of the two bodies was some hair and teeth.
This leads us to wonder, what exactly had happened between the Minister and his once rather upstanding wife?
