DEMENTORS: OUR BEST PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVE By Betty Braithwaite Starting tomorrow, the Ministry of Magic has announced that additional reinforcements in the form of dementors will be stationed around areas with dense wizarding population. This bold decision comes on the heels of months of violence perpetrated by the vigilante organisation known as the Order of the Phoenix. With dementors usually the staple presence at Azkaban prison, this is not the first time that they have stepped away from the prison to help safeguard the public. After the escape of the convicted murderer Sirius Black, the dementors were called in to help reinforce Hogwarts school against possible attack. This initiative was met with widespread approval, with parents and students alike confirming that they felt they could "sleep safer with the dementors protecting them." Senior Ministry officials have been vocally supportive of this new idea from Minister Thicknesse, who also spoke to the Prophet about the reasoning behind this step.

For generations, the dementors have kept us safe from their homes in Azkaban, it seemed a logical step to call them to our aid." CONTINUED ON PAGE 13... |
