November 13, 2008; yet another twist of events has taken place, and once more the Ministry is sitting on their hands. Possibly throwing them in the air. It's hard to tell any longer what the Ministry is thinking or possibly doing. Sure there's a lot of movement, but there doesn't seem to be anything being done. At approximately seven in the morning another attack took place, this time at Diagon Alley. The beloved village of shops and amazing places to fill our pockets and minds with new tools and items. The number of injured outweigh the dead, so far. An estimated seven people have been confirmed as dead, though names are being withheld as of now. The number of injured has been recorded as , "greater than twenty, less than ninety." Sounding as if that number may in fact rise.
The only connecting factor to this scene and the Hogsmeade Massacre is the new symbol that has been seen in the sky seconds before or after the deaths were committed. The symbol itself is unknown, and from what we at the Daily Prophet have gathered, has no historical symbolism whatsoever. This of course makes it hard to trace the person or people responsible for these acts, it doesn't help that at each scene the actual murderers seem to vanish, or perhaps even die, at the same as the symbol is raised into the air. Claire Hunee, an eyewitness at the Diagon Alley attack stated, "There was no charm, the smoke seems to just rise from the body of the attacker...its the scariest thing I've ever seen.." Claire, along with three other willing eyewitnesses were able to describe what took place.
"There were holes in her face where her eyes and mouth should be, no nose...no hair." - Jess Green.
"...It was like thin spikes or something, just sprung right out of her. It rained spikes from her and just....right through their bodies!" - Abigale Heart.
"I swear, there was no blood in that thing. Those spikes were clean, 'till they hit a person....then everything was bloody. Worse thing I've seen since...well...you know." -Huston McCoy."
