Excerpts from The Daily Prophet;

"THE DARK LORD RETURNS

Rita Skeeta

Last night several students of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry led by Tri-Wizard tournament Champion and serial law breaker Harry Potter broke into the Department of Mysteries Hall of Prophecy and stumbled into an alleged Death Eater raid by Lucius Malfoy. The students engaged in battle with the raiders who are also rumoured to contain recent Azkaban escapee Bellatrix Le Strange and mass murderer Sirius Black.

Eventually Ministry Aurors arrived as the battle spilled out into the Veil Room, formally the Ministerial execution chamber. The Auror's covered the students escape resulting the the capture of Wizarding Philanthropist Lucius Malfoy. Sirius Black, in an attempt to avoid capture fell into the Veil and was pronounced dead by a Ministry Healer at the scene.

As Potter attempted to lead his class mates to safety, through the Ministry's Grand Central Lobby, He Who Must Not Be Named, himself, appeared and challenged Potter to a duel. Luckily Albus Dumbledore, who had recently been relived of his duty's as Headmaster of Hogwarts, arrived to rescue his former students and he himself crossed wands with You Know Who until Minister Fudge arrived on the seen with his senior staff and witnessed The Dark Lord's escape.

"I Could not believe my eyes" Fudge told a Daily Prophet reporter, 'There he stood bold as brass. He who must not be named back from the dead.'..."

"Prophet Retraction

An open letter from the Editor.

Dear Readers:

It is with a heavy quill I pen this letter. Over the last twelve months this newspaper has published many articles that may have been considered derogatory, indeed libel, towards Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter.

While it is true that I ordered those articles to be published in good faith it was my responsibility to ensure the proper research and fact checking was carried out and due to pressure from an unnamed authority I did not.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologies to the readers of the Daily Prophet and on a personal level to both Albus Dumbeldore and Harry Potter.

- The Editor"
