You-Know-Who's Final Strike

Byline: Jade Kingsburg

Date: November 1, 1981

DAILY PROPHET HEADQUARTERS, LONDON, ENGLAND- Last night, You-Know-Who struck again, for which has been rumored to be his most recent and final act of evil. In the mist of this victorious and great celebration, two great people have been lost in the celebration. Lily and James Potter were killed last night as a result of You-Know-Who. He turned up at their house last night, seeking to kill their one year old son, Harry James Potter.

In a turn of events, young Harry survived and You-Know-Who lost his own life while seeking to end others. Harry was taken to safety before fellow Muggle neighbors could show up at his household, in the famous Godric's Hollow, a notable Wizarding community where Godric Gryffindor himself was born. No reports have been given by the Ministry of Magic on what will happen to Harry.

"We are very busy at the time being, and we advise people not to let their guard down due to You-Know-Who not being (out there still). We advise also not to use any magic in front of Muggles, or any other phenomenon that would attract Muggle attention." Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had stated earlier when questioned.

Death Eaters, supporters of You-Know-Who, are still at large, and are dangerous. Many have been seen to attack wizards and witches soon after You-Know-Who's downfall was noted.

Many casualties have been reported now, as well as injuries. Including in these casualties are the famous Adrian and William Swan, noted Aurors for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The two were killed prior to the Potter's murders. It has been confirmed that You-Know-Who was behind the murders for the Swans as well. Their two children, twins Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan age 1 and Nathaniel "Nathan" Leon Swan age 1, are missing, and are considered alive, seeing how their bodies were not found along their parents. Their household in Tinworth, another Wizardry community, was also destroyed.

The Swans and Potter's were close family friends, and went to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was widely known that the two couples were vigorously involved with the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization set to take down You-Know-Who. James and William were noted as very kind and friendly, and as were Lily and Adrian. The world will greatly miss these incredible people, who have helped create a better world for us.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2, 1981

Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan was found yesterday with her twin brother, Nathaniel "Nathan" Leon Swan, in London. The two have temporarily been put in custody with an unknown family, and will be given permanent housing arrangements later on.

Harry James Potter, dubbed "The Boy Who Lived", has been given a permanent residence with close Muggle relatives. We wish young Harry the best of luck.

Nathaniel was found battered, and appeared to have made a struggle to escape. Isabella was also shaken up. Both were dehydrated, and were severely anemic from wounds they had received. They have been treated for their injuries at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 15, 1981

Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, dubbed "Isabella the Great" and Nathaniel "Nathan" Swan, dubbed "Nathaniel the Brave", were given a home earlier today with the Weasely's. Molly and Arthur Weasley were named guardians for the youngsters earlier, as per the will's of the late Adrian and William Swan. The Weasleys have 7 children, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ronald "Ron", and Ginerva "Ginny" Weasely. Their dubbed names have originated from the apparent struggle the two of them put up against Death Eaters, despite their extraordinarily young ages. The two show a promising future in the Wizardry World, as well as Harry Potter.
