Ministry worker attacked - Seperatists to blame?
Today Ministry employee Rebecca Wilkes is recovering in St Mungos after suffering an attack in the early hours of this morning. After the rumours that personal details were stolen from the Ministry building, there is today concern that seperatists are to blame for the attack.
Miss Wilkes, a muggle-born who works as a secretary in the department responsible for magical creatures, was attack in her own home at four this morning. It is suggested that dark hexes were used in the attack on twenty-three year old Wilkes. The muggle police were initially called to the scene after neighbours reported 'terrible screams and crashing noises' coming from her London flat. Aurors were very quickly alerted to the scene however, when Miss Wilkes presented a strange condition - one unfamiliar to muggle medical people.
Aurors found no sign of break in by magical or muggle means, and surmise that either Miss Wilkes was followed home or that someone was waiting for her. Neighbours told the Prophetthat Miss Wilkes was a considerate and friendly neighbour, and were saddened by her attack.
Although the Prophet can only speculate on the reasons behind the attack, Miss Wilkes was clearly selected for her muggle-born status. This attack comes very shortly after arrests made by the Ministry on Seperatist cells.
The Prophet Says
Even though seperatists say they want to protect us, they are attacking vulnerable members in our community! The Prophet urges its readers to embrace intgegration as a unifying, and peaceful act. Violence is not a solution!
A referee with flair!
Fans of Puddlemere United were alarmed yesterday when their fourth game of the season started with a bang. Suffering from an illness affecting the throat, Michael Tillers, referee of the day's match, had forsaken his usual whistle for flares from his wand.
Purple flames were sent up into the stand accompanied by a very loud bang, but it was not only the game which got off to a sudden start. Mrs Mary Flatterly was so surprised by the sudden bang, that she had to be immediately taken to St Mungos, where she and her husband celebrated the arrival of a bouncing baby boy! Also celebrating were Puddlemere United, who beat Roverfield Rangers.
