Falcons Chaser Mauled |
By Nelson Coughlan |
Falmouth Falcons Chaser Adrian Pucey was found grievously wounded in his own home in Falmouth late Wednesday night. After examining Pucey, Healers at St. Mungo's a determined that his injuries were consistent with those that would have been inflicted by a Graphorn. While the Graphorn is native to the mountainous regions of Europe, a few are known to exist in the wild on the British Isles. They have been brought over on occasion as exotic pets, as research subjects and to correct imbalances in the ecosystem when Dugbogs overbreed. While a Graphorn attack inside someone's home is unprecedented in Britain, Department of Magical Law Enforcement officials have said they're not considering it to be anything other than an accident unless further information becomes available. While Pucey was unavailable for comment, Pansy Higgs told reporters that no Graphorn was on the premises when she found Pucey injured in his home. "Everything was an absolute mess and Adrian was in such a terrifying state. I had to check myself into St. Mungo's as well just from seeing it, but I'm pregnant and have to be especially cautious. Thank goodness that Graphorn wasn't there when I arrived. This could have been a real tragedy." Story continues on page four. |
