TRAGEDY IN DEVON!
It is with great sadness that The Prophet announces the tragic and senseless deaths of Ron and Hermione Weasley (nēe Granger). Harry Potter's two closest and dearest friends were killed late Friday night in a targeted attack at a pre-wedding dinner party being held at the Weasley family home in Ottery St. Catchpole, Devon. The loss of life also included groom, Neville Longbottom, Molly and Arthur Weasley, and two of their children: Holyhead Harpies Chaser Ginny Weasley, and George Weasley. The bride, Hannah Abbott, is currently at St. Mungo's in critical condition. The Prophet has since discovered that Harry Potter himself had attended the dinner but departed early due to work commitments as the Ministry's Head Auror.
The attack is now the third and most brutal of the heinous acts of revenge being carried out by the so-called Pureblood Society, a group which has previously sent statements to the Ministry detailing their desire to wipe out those Pureblood families which did not stand behind Voldemort during his reign of terror. The Minister for Magic will be making a public statement about the incident as well as detailing what the Auror Department will be doing in order to catch those responsible before there is any further loss of life.
One can only assume that Head Auror, Harry Potter, will be taking a leave of absence to deal with the repercussions of losing his two best friends and the family which has stood by him since he was a young boy. Our thoughts are with Mr. Potter and the other members of the families affected. Hopefully justice will be swift.

THE LAST OF THE PUREBLOOD SOCIETY CAUGHT!
.
Head Auror, Harry Potter, has released a statement confirming that the last of the Pureblood Society members have been apprehended and are now awaiting trial. This makes the fifth and final arrest of the witches and wizards responsible for the targeted attacks which have been plaguing our world for nearly twelve months.
One can only hope that Harry Potter will now feel some closure after the deaths of his two best friends, Ron and Hermione Weasley (nēe Granger), and that he will take a much deserved break from active duty. As previously reported, Mr. Potter had thrown himself into his work in order to catch those responsible, and because of his ardent dedication to this mission, his health and his relationships have suffered greatly (see article dated May 12th for full details on Harry Potter's break-up with his boyfriend of two years last month).

HARRY POTTER STEPS DOWN AS HEAD AUROR!
.
A shocking Ministry-issued statement has revealed that the Boy-Who-Lived has stepped down from his position as Head Auror. The Ministry has stated that this is only a temporary change and that Mr. Potter will be back at an as yet undetermined date in the future. Yet after interviewing some of Mr. Potter's co-workers, the word in the Auror Department is that Harry Potter has no intentions of ever returning. The Chosen One has appeared depressed and unwell ever since the tragic deaths of his friends in May of this year.
The staff here at The Prophet wish him well and hope that one day he will be able to move on and live a life of peace and happiness, the likes of which our great hero unequivocally deserves.
