Murder in Knockturn
By Eleanor Bledsoe, G.H.B.I.C.M.
Narcissa Malfoy, notable pureblood witch and former society matron, was killed this afternoon in Knockturn Alley. She was rushed to St. Mungo’s Hospital as soon as the attack was reported, but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The Ministry has released very few details about the attack, but did state that a suspect has been apprehended and there is no immediate danger to the Wizarding citizenry. Witnesses to the attack are currently being questioned by Ministry officials and were not available for comment at press time.
An anonymous source additional
from inside the Auror’s office released a few details exclusively to The Daily Prophet. Though our source refused to release the identity of the suspect, they did divulge that Malfoy’s attacker was a young muggleborn witch associated with several muggleborn equality groups. The attack is speculated to be a political statement, though that has not been confirmed.
The Malfoy family had fallen from prominence in recent years following Lucius Malfoy’s association with the Death Eaters and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Though charges were never officially levied against Malfoy Senior or the family
(which many Ministry sources have stated was at the insistence of boy-hero Harry Potter) the Malfoys never returned to their prior social status.
Narcissa was born Narcissa Black, a daughter of another notorious pureblood family. She was forty-seven years old. She is survived by her sister, Andromeda Tonks, husband Lucius, and son, Draco.
Funeral services will be held this Friday, October 7th at an undisclosed location.

Not only is Katie Bell dating a Deatheater but her newest family relation is Clint Warrington. When asked about how he felt about his new sister, Warrington had this to say: "I don't give a f**** about Katie Bell. Her mother was a whore and she's not much better." Unfortunately, the only comment we could procure from Ms. Bell was from her publicist and the non-descriptive, "No comment," left us uninterested and bored.
Roger Davies seems to have put it all on the line for a known criminal. His taste in women has really gone down hill. I think it's safe to say we all preferred it when he was busy shagging multiple women. His fascination with werewolves and criminals is really something Portree ought to think about. Not very wholesome, is he, Portree? Rumor has it Quidditch World was attempting an interview with the playboy. We all look forward to that.
Former heartthrob and veela-lover, Bill Weasley has returned to England and ladies, let me just tell you, that lovely piece is single as they come. Divorcing the former Tri-Wizard champion, Bill has returned home. Is anyone surprised Lavender Brown is already sinking her claws into that wolfy man? Not really. No.
