Flint Family Fades Away
By Eleanor Bledsoe, G.H.B.I.C.M.
Is the Ministry of Magic out for the Flint Family? Last night, Ministry Aurors went to arrest Ethan Flint, a known deatheater. Mr. Flint, also a member of the Wizenagamort, swore that he was coerced by Voldemort and put under the Imperius curse.
Details are a bit fuzzy but last night's arrest ended in the death of Ethan Flint, eldest of the Flint brothers. Joseph Flint was killed by the Ministry just last August during a sting on an illegal potions ring. The question is? How long will it be until the Ministry has wiped out the entire Flint family?
Unfortunately, after news broke of his son's death, Antony Flint has gone missing and unable to deal with her husband's abandonment and son deaths, the Prophet has found out that
Josephine Flint poisoned herself and was pronounced dead at St. Mungo's.
Antony Flint is survived by his wife, Persephone Flint. The couple had no children. Brother and owner of the Falmouth Falcons, Marcus Flint.
Marcus Flint is currently captaining (though for how much longer?) the Quidditch Cup Championship team, Falmouth Falcons.
Reporters tracked down Mr. Flint outside of his Falmouth offices but he did not make a statement. Funeral services will remain private and not open to the public.
As details unfold, we will keep you updated on the tragic deaths that are plaguing the pureblood community.
With the steady rise of deaths amongst purebloods and the disease that attacked our community this summer, questions are being asked? Are we heading for a new war? Will this attack on our oldest families stand?
What is the Ministry doing about these deaths or? Are they the ones who are responsible and when will someone step up and do something about it?

Current Happenings
Now that Harry Potter has returned from his “mandatory vacation” (read: psychiatric evaluation), he seems to be picking up where he left off with London’s sweetheart, Ginny Weasley. It appears Miss Weasley has been able to forgive and forget that Potter cheated on Weasley to carry on a sordid affair with a rebounding Lavender Brown just weeks ago. How sweet, even some relationships can survive infidelity.
Some however, cannot, thanks to a certain homewrecking Quidditch player. If you hadn’t noticed, St. Mungo’s Healer Augustus Pye brings up ex-wife Kyra Bundy’s cheating at least once a day. Why are these people important? They’re not- but rumor has it the Quidditch player that ruined their marriage is. Which one is he? Bundy’s lips are sealed, but my money’s on one of the usual suspects: Clint Warrington, Marcus Flint, or Roger Davies. Davies is certainly no stranger to homewrecking- he moved in on current flame (and criminal) Mandy Brocklehurst while both were still in relationships. However, Warrington and Flint are also viable suspects and seem to come as a package deal- if so, Bundy is a lucky, lucky adulteress.
Speaking of lucky- Bill Weasley certainly was this week. The redhead was spotted in a dark corner of Diagon Alley with not one, but two ladies on their knees in front of him- Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. Brown is always on her knees these days, so it’s hardly a surprise, but Patil isn’t usually so desperate. Be careful, you three, if Pansy Parkinson hears about two werewolves having fun, she’ll try and pass a few more laws.
Parkinson, by the way, has been spotted visiting the Malfoy estate quite frequently over the past two weeks. Draco Malfoy left the country shortly after his mother’s funeral- so is Parkinson helping London’s most eligible widower “grieve?”
