STUDENT'S MUGGLE FAMILY KILLED IN TRURO Truro - An entire muggle family was brutally murdered yesterday. The dark mark was spotted at 11:43pm last night over a muggle residence. The family was that of muggleborn 6th year Gryffindor, Gregory Sloper. Sloper was not available for a quote, but Headmaster Dumbledore assured the press that Mr. Sloper was extremely shaken up by the event. Fellow students were quoted as confirming that Mr. Sloper had dueled with Slytherin student, Franklin Selwyn (son to deceased & known death eater John Selwyn) some weeks prior. Young Selwyn was hospitalized with minor jinx injuries. The implication that the Selwyn family was involved in the retaliation was implied in the article - but an auror was quote saying that "the Ministry has no reason to investigate such claims." Mr. Sloper will be under the protection of Hogwarts until 'proper' care can be provided for him until his 17th birthday in August of this year.
