October 30^th begins quietly enough, but something dark and unsettling happens in the middle of the night. Those who were safe in slumber are suddenly plagued with horrifying nightmares that feel too real to be just dreams. Those who were awake find themselves suddenly facing their worst fears. But a simple Riddikulus wouldn't work on these frightening spectres. Fortunately, they fade quickly enough, but who knows what lasting impressions they leave?

The early morning brings a swirl of rumors as the wizarding world wakes on a cool Thursday morning. There are rumors of a death in the Ministry, though the details are vague and fuzzy at best. Some say there was a thwarted attack. Others say some poor clerk simply passed while doing some filing. And from others still, there are whispers of a dark magic that got loose to wreak havoc. No one knows the truth for sure, but what's certain is this day has dawned with an uncertainty and unease not felt in the wizarding world in a long time.
