MINISTER ANNOUNCES SOME DEATH EATERS PARDONED

---

In a show of good faith as the Wizarding World approaches the tenth anniversary of You-Know-Who’s flight from England, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge has granted a handful of Death Eaters pardons.

All under the age of twenty-two at the end of the war, the Death Eaters in question have been confirmed as followers of You-Know-Who, but none have ever officially been found guilty of any of the hundreds of murders that occurred during His reign of terror.

“We are not yet officially releasing a list,” said Fudge in a press conference early this afternoon. “But after an exhaustive search through trial records and interviews, we are certain that none of the individuals on the list are guilty of any crime other than being a member of You-Know-Who’s army.”

Forgiveness was a key theme to Minister Fudge’s six and a half minute speech, but the question remains: will the Wizarding World ever be ready to forgive You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters?
