Illness Targets Purebloods
Rita Skeeter

The Illness that seemed to spread so quickly through London and it's outskirts remains at the forefront of our minds, despite the most serious cases having been sent home with a clean bill of health. Rumours have been spreading on who exactly this flu has targeted. St. Mungo's itself is rather tight lipped on the situation, but it's hard to deny that in all serious cases, those affected were members of Britains Pureblood Society. All others affected were healed with basic antibiotics, but it took a recently developed Potion courtesy of Miss. Amanda Brocklehurst to effectively stop the destructive symptoms of this virus.

Miss. Brocklehurst, herself, was quoted as saying, "...the potion literally eats away at this virus." Drastic measures for a drastic situation, one might think, but are these Purebloods really in the clear? Pureblood society has always prized themselves on having a higher concentration of magic in their blood. Speculation has risen on just how this new potion operates. If the virus is attaching itself to the higher levels of magical concentration, what is this potions eating away at? The virus itself? Or is it also eating away at the magical levels? Several Purebloods, who wish to remain anonymous, have already voiced their concerns. What concerns this reporter is the number of Purebloods willing to ingest this concoction. The only notable exception was Miss. Parkinson, only to quickly bend under the instance of such individuals as Clint Warrington (whose own fiancee was rumoured to be ill on the continent), Marcus Flint, and Adrian Pucey.

One has to wonder, however, what a world without blood distinctions would be like. After the final war with Voldemort there are sure to be some who would like to see it that way.

Charges Made on Zabini Family Dehlia Stimpson The Daily Prophet Lately there has been a good level of reconstruction within the Ministry of Magic, all at the hands of new Minister for Magic, Kingsley Shaklebolt. "These changes," he says, "are of the utmost importance if we wish to prevent any further threats like the recent rise of Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Every thing I do, I do to keep the populace of the Wizarding World safe and these changes will help me to secure that." But how intrusive are these changes? The recent demand for registration and the issuing of ID cards has some Wizarding citizen's questioning the intentions of the Minister. "It seems to me that Shaklebolt is looking to round us all up into groups," says one worried individual, "Why do we need to register as Pureblood, Halfblood, or Muggleborn? Seems a bit fishy to me." These worries were compounded today when the youngest member of the Zabini Family was accosted when entering Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Eye witnesses state that Mr. Zabini was stopped by two Ministry officials requesting to see his Identification card. When Mr. Zabini failed to produce the appropriate papers, he was escorted in restraints from the premise. Mr. Zabini was not available for a statement concerning the matter, but the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Division had this to say, "We have strict orders to ensure all members of our society carry with them their Ministry issued Identification cards. It is a matter of public security. Mr. Zabini failed to do so and will therefore be facing the repercussions of that choice. Ministry Identification cards are a necessary must for all Wizarding citizens and must be carried on their person at all times, as ordered by our Minister of Magic." [Read more on Page 14
