CHILD DEAD IN BLATANT DISREGARD OF WIZARDKIND/ WEREWOLF PEACE ACCORD By Emilia Goodwing After a quiet full moon the month prior, an eight-year-old halfblood child in Dingwall was savaged by a werewolf Saturday night in a direct violation of the recently signed agreement between the Ministry of Magic and Fenrir Greyback, which promises no interaction between the fully transformed werewolf and the citizens of wizarding Britain on the night of the full moon. The girl, whose name has been withheld at the parents’ request, died of her injuries at the scene. The whereabouts of Fenrir Greyback and his werewolf signatory can be accounted for the night of the full moon and the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures suspect the werewolf Remus Lupin, who was sighted in the nearby magical town of Hogsmeade shortly before the moonrise that night, could be the werewolf responsible for the Dingwall child’s death. His silence despite numerous attempts at contacting him lead the department to believe he has something to hide. This isn’t the first time Lupin has had something to hide, the department head’s secretary, Chastity Thimble, was quick to mention. A mother of two, who was a secretary in another department at the time, she recalled the werewolf’s tenure as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts through her children’s recollections, remembering that was a decent teacher. “But finding out he was a werewolf was a bit of a shock, to say the least,” she said. “My children’s faces were white as a sheet when I fetched them from the station that summer. They couldn’t believe they’d shared a castle — a classroom with a werewolf the entire year and they’d no idea. I’d no idea myself. None of us did.” The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures urges citizens to not engage with Lupin if sighted, asking them instead to immediately contact the department and allow the trained professionals to handle him. Lupin is to be considered wanded and extremely dangerous. Greyback, too, urges caution. “Lupin ain’t one of mine,” he told the Prophet. “He’s always been rogue. Especially now, seems like.” |
