LADY NOIR UNMASKED, REIGN OF TERROR ENDS
By Betty Braithwaite
Armed with new evidence, specifically her identity, Head Auror Rufus Scrimgeour and a team of highly-skilled and senior aurors descended on the home of Lady Noir, where they arrested her. To everyone's surprise, the witch went without defense.
Her name, which will be familiar to many who paid attention to the recent election for Minister for Magic, is Anastasia Nott, 28, former Slytherin and daughter of convicted Death Eater Theodore Nott, Sr. Ms. Nott is currently employed by the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.
At her arrest, Ms. Nott was outspoken regarding her cause and her actions, though also expressed disappointment at her inability to gain a true following.
"It's disappointing," she was overheard saying, "the lack of support I received. The Dark Lord would be disappointed that his once loyal followers turned their backs on his noble cause simply because it came from a different source. Not to mention how disappointed I am personally, that our traditional and long standing ideals of purity and family and honor have been discarded. Wherever this modern modern wizarding world is going," she spat on the ground, "I'm glad I won't be around to see it."
Ms. Nott's father, a recluse, and her brother, recent Hogwarts graduate and current employee of the Department of Mysteries, have both been brought in for questioning. Ms. Nott has been transported to Azkaban Prison while the Wizengamot decides her fate.
