RATING: R
Salem proper was not widely known for its concentration of witches. In fact, since the witch trials, they have avoided that particular city. However, in order to hide in plain sight, the magic school was built in the middle of the city. It stands with the appearance of an abandoned but historically important court house (unavailable for tours due to unsound structure) on the outside. Through the back doors of the building, though, magic leads witches and their families into Salem's Witches Institute. Over the years a few witches here and there made their home in Salem and the surrounding areas, mostly teachers and school staff. But for the most part Salem is a fairly mortal town.
So no one ever expected demons to attack Salem. Anyone living in Salem just assumed they were safe. But they were wrong. Casta Ambrose, teaching assistant for Salem Institute's transfiguration class, was at home with her family when the attack happened. Casta's family as far back as anyone knew were just mortals. When Casta and her cousin Verity, barely a year apart, were both born with magical abilities, the family went into an uproar. Her aunt and uncle from Texas refused to acknowledge it, going so far as to try and have Verity excised. Casta's family were supportive, even taking Verity in during the summers when school was out. Verity left for England a few years after her graduation in 1997, just in time for the tail end of the battle there.
Casta knew virtually nothing about that war. So when Death Eaters burst through her door, killing her family and torturing her nearly to death, she was in shock. The last thing Casta remembered before passing out was some kind of incantation and a green smoky symbol above her house. A skull with a snake through it.
The Elders sent Leo to the Charmed Ones with the news that a teacher had been attacked. Chris overheard the conversation and offered himself. He and Bianca orbed to Salem to investigate. Little did they know that they weren't the only witches to overhear the conversation. Soon after they returned, they were bombarded by questions from all of his siblings and cousins.

How Far Does the Statute of Secrecy Extend? by Rita Skeeter
In the past few weeks there have been a number of unexplained deaths and disappearances. There have been confirmed cases of Death Eaters responding to the call of the mark on their arm. But this reporter has been digging deeper and deeper and there is more going on than what is on the surface. Lately there has been much going on in the Department of Mysteries. Specifically there have been a number of incidents presided over by the Unspeakables. That got this reporter questioning. Who are the Unspeakables? What do they do?
After asking around the Ministry, I still don't have any solid answers. Most of the employees at the Ministry don't even know what the Unspeakables do. The rest of them are keeping their lips zipped. The only clear answer I have been able to get has to do with the Statute of Secrecy. Ages ago, so says the Minister of Magic's official press release, when the Statute of Secrecy was put into place, the Department of Mysteries created the Unspeakables to be sure it is upheld. Well that explains a whole lot of nothing.
Fantastic sources have been comparing the Unspeakables to a government cover-up. They are hiding something that they believe is for our own good. But what? The recent attacks don't fit the profile of Death Eaters. Some theorists are whispering the word demon. What is a demon? Well if the Department of Mysteries is covering up the existence of demons I think it's our right as magical citizens to know! I will be digging deeper, dear readers, until I uncover this horrible conspiracy. Keep a look out for my next article: Demons In The Modern World by Rita Skeeter.
