HOGWARTS HOLDING VISIT BRINGS UP QUEER QUESTIONS
By Rita Skeeter
The Daily Prophet has learned exclusively that the pardoned Professor, Sirius Black, presently in holding for the horrific homicide of Alison Boot, received a Very Friendly visit from his colleague Remus Lupin yesterday. Witnesses say that the tender twosome sat moon-eyed and talked for close to half an hour at Black's cell in DMLE holding, discussing family matters like the birthday party of a friend's child and how much they missed each other.
Black and Fabian Prewett were taken into custody at the Boot home on Friday evening. The Auror Office is presently questioning them about their involvement in the shocking slaying and about their accomplice, Lady Noir. Sources suggest that their involvement explains how Lavinia Macnair was able to bring the poison that affected the student body into Hogwarts last fall.
But the revelation that Black and Lupin, the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor and the Head of Gryffindor, are More Than Friends opens a whole new angle. What exactly is going on at Hogwarts? What are our children are learning? How can the supposedly safest place in Britain remain secure when murderers and their accomplices are in charge? These are the questions we're asking today.
Not to mention, exactly what were Black and Prewett doing before they arrived at the Boot household? Perhaps Professor Lupin will be better off when his former colleague is back in Azkaban.
