OVER NIGHT SLAYINGS RAISE NEW CAUTION WITHIN MINISTRY
We here at the Daily Prophet hate starting off the day with news such as this but what must be done must be done. Our sources within the Ministry alerted us early this morning to several frantic owls and floo calls placed to the Ministry claiming nearby homes to be on fire and bright green lights could be seen floating in the sky above where the homes used to it. Upon arrival at the scenes it was discovered that not only had the homes been destroyed and leveled to the ground using either fire or other means of destruction but that after a thorough search of the property all residents within the homes were discovered dead. The homes belonged to that of the Bones', Potter's and McKinnon's and as of this time we have no statements from any of the families involved. Attached to the official report from the Ministry was an official statement from DMLE head, Gawain Robards:
"It is tragic the catastrophe that has taken place tonight and our thoughts and well wishes are with all of the families of those who have perished. At this time we can not and will not make any statement on who we believe to have been behind these horrendous attacks but know that we have the full force of the Ministry and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement looking into it to try and bring these grieving some sort of peace and solace by catching those responsible.. As always we here at the Ministry urge all of you to take caution when going out and even when at home. Do not invite strange people into your homes, do not leave your homes unwarded and unattended and if possible, strengthen the wards around your homes to prevent intrusion and destruction."
We have to agree with Auror Robards and send our thoughts and well wishes out to the suffering families as well and we will keep you up to date on this story as more unfolds and the day goes on.
