by M. Pepitone, editor in chief Over the past two weeks, a witch or wizard would have to have their head in the cupboard to have missed the rumors flooding the streets. Everything from time-travelers from the great beyond, to Grindlewad himself seems to be bumping into their aunt’s cousin's neighbor. While no one has yet to come out in this newspaper about being from the year 3,000 one can anticipate that any day.
This coming about at the same time as equally dangerous rumours of our wizarding brothers and sisters in the Axis states at risk. Or perhaps the questions about a secret branch of the government carrying out wards and risks to keep ‘us’ ‘safe’. None of these are given two inches on the front page, as no credible witnesses can be found, but the rumors fly like so many quaffles during the World Cup.
Rumored to be canceled as well.
All the while Minister of Magic Regor Hedgeplug sits in his office and talks policy, insist that people keep their chin up and mouths shut. War rages all about our ears in a manner not seen even in our recent memories of the last great Muggle battles of the Great War. The people supported Hedgeplug in his bid for office because he swore to keep on the straight and narrow, but no one realized that this must also include blinders to the real issues at hand. This paper challenges the Ministry Office to open their doors to reporters, answer the questions and if not dispel the rumors- then at least answer to them.
