Werewolves Attack Kent and Derbyshire
Rose Faust
Four Ministry officials and a Muggle family were found dead after apparent werewolf attacks last night.
Eyewitness reports of a number of werewolves in Tunbridge Wells last night foretold the tragedy that would transpire. Beginning just after nine, messages started to filter into the Ministry of Magic regarding an unnaturally large gathering of werewolves outside and around the forests of southern Kent.
In the interest of protecting wizards in the area, DRCMC officials were sent by the Ministry to investigate. All four were considered missing until the remains recovered from the River Medway were identified this morning.
Simultaneously, in High Peak, Derbyshire, a wizard, his muggle wife and infant child were the victims of an alleged attack beginning at their cottage and ending on the moors behind. Their bodies were discovered this morning amidst enough pawprints to suggest the attack was made by not a single werewolf--but a pack.
“Bet if that child’s mother was a wizard, they might still be alive.” Says grieving neighbour. “One wizard--not a chance, didn’t stand a chance.”
The Ministry is on the hunt for any information pertaining to a series of werewolf attacks that occurred during last night’s full moon. Two separate instances in such distant locations--with this many fatalities--is something that has not been seen since the late 1970s. Citizens in the local community, and the wizarding world at large, have expressed concern over the lack of safety measures.
