FRONT PAGEAttack on the Ministry of MagicErastus SaintThe Ministry of Magic was evacuated today as explosions rocked the very foundation of the Wizarding Government. Stamford Jorkins, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Magic, has confirmed that this afternoon multiple packages with strong
Expulso charms modified with runic curses were delivered by owl to Ministry Offices.
Aurors report that the major target of the attack seems to have been the Office of the Minister of Magic. Though no casualties were reported, several injured Aurors and employees of the Ministry were reportedly transported to St. Mungo’s for care. Minister Scrimgeour was not injured.
While no one has yet claimed responsibility for this act of terrorism, it is clear to this reporter that the action resembles the most recently reported acts of violence by the growing Death Eater threat.
The Daily Prophet will report any further news on this attack, as it becomes available.
PAGE 3Flourish & Blotts Launches Scribere SpelljournalsAmbrosius ClementJust in time for the new school term, Flourish & Blotts releases its newest idea to revitalize business and keep its monopoly on the Wizarding Books market in Britain – Flourish & Blotts’ Scribere Spelljournals.
Flourish & Blotts’ Scribere Spelljournals are individually handmade in F&B's own workshops by master bookbinding craftsmen, utilizing traditional hand-dyed and waxed leather. The internal paper is of the highest quality cotton and pulp mix, in either plain buttery cream or ivory faint-lined pages.
Whether you are looking for a formal sophisticated style such as English Bridle or Croc-Calf leather or something more rustic like Italian or Envelope wrap, F&B is sure you will find a beautiful leather journal to suit. All journals can also be engraved.
Even more enthralling, these journals allow you to communicate with everyone else who owns one! Leave your writings public for anyone to read and comment on, or use privacy spells to make sure only certain people, or no one at all, can see your thoughts.
Sources report that after only one day of sales, these journals promise to be the largest fad Flourish & Blotts has ever started. Rather, the only fad they have ever started, but these do promise to be popular. The kind gentlemen at F&B would also like us to note that for those who cannot afford retail prices, there will be a bin of marked down mistake copies.
