DEATH EATER FOUND INSIDE HOGWARTS





On Saturday evening, students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had their Hallowe'en Dance interrupted when an unidentified adult chaperon within the school spotted and identified Death Eater Peter Pettigrew, who is believed to have spent the past nine years outside of England.

No students or staff members were harmed, and students were sequestered in their Common Rooms as staff members and Auror searched for Pettigrew. Despite a search that lasted well past midnight, no trace of the Death Eater was found. He is believed to have fled school grounds.

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore released the following statement this morning: "I want to assure all parents that their children are safe within these walls. Numerous safety precautions are being taken to ensure this does not happen again."

The spotting of Pettigrew comes only a month after six Death Eaters previously banned from England were allowed to return. The Ministry of Magic had no comment on any possible connections between the two.
