The Boy Who Lived Has Died
The horrible attacks on law abiding wizards at the hands of beasts have led to another death that has touched every wizard and witch in this country. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, was killed last night by a pack of werewolves.
The attack began with the rise of the full moon. Mr. Potter came out of his well warded house to protect the people of Godric's Hollow, thereby becoming the focus of the attack, possibly sparing a much higher death toll. Mr. Potter's intervention gave the Aurors the time to appear on the scene and disperse the pack. No arrests or kills were unfortunately made.
Sources within the Ministry tells us that there have been six deaths and four possible infections. The names of the victims have not been released, but it is believed that they have been taken to St. Mungo's for treatment.
There has been no word from Minister Shacklebolt or anyone from his administration. The public has the right to know not only how the Ministry plans to stop these attacks, but how it will deal with so many new werewolves living in our country.
As printed in our recent editorial, the Daily Prophet advocates that new werewolves be imprisoned on the full moon, preventing them from infecting more people. Mandatory use of the Wolfsbane should also be required.
