What Happens when a Family Forgets its Roots

Rita Seeker

Earlier today if you happened to be at Diagon Ally you would have witness a true spectacular sight. It all started when Harry Potter and his friends, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley, went on their annual shopping trip to Diagon Ally to purchase their school supplies. After shopping for sometime they decided to take a break and went into the Leaky Caldron to eat, upon arrival they just so happen to choose a table beside Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle (All three boys' fathers were recently arrested and are awaiting trial for various activities linking them to You Know Who. For more on that issue turn to page 5.) This does seem strange and suspicious since the rivalry between these two groups is almost as legendary than the Slytherin/Gryffindore House Rivalry.

All witnesses present concur that Mr. Malfoy and his group had been there long before the Potter group. One patron was quoted as saying, "Although, Lucius Malfoy seems to be a bad egg, his son and his friends seem to be cut from a different cloth." When asked what prompted this opinion the patron replied, "Well, I was here when the boys came in the pub. They approached Tom [the owner of the Leaky Caldron] very respectful like and asked if it was okay to take a table in the corner. After sitting the boys order food, and up until Potter and his trouble making friends come in, those boys did nothing to warrant harsh words much less an attack. If this is how Potter acts then I fear for the survival of the wizard world."

It is sad to say, but our fearless savior and friends attack those grieving boys. Witnesses reported that Mr. Ronald Weasley after deliberately eavesdropping on Mr. Malfoy, Crabbe & Goyle conversation became aggravated and his temper seemed to be rising. After a few minutes Mr. Weasley explored and before his friends could stop him he bounced on Mr. Malfoy and proceeded to beat Mr. Malfoy into a pulp. The repeated brutal punches caused such severe injuries to Mr. Malfoy that his wounds began to bleed. However, as the first drops of blood come into view the most amazing thing happened, Mr. Weasley was thrown off of Mr. Malfoy, and both were engulfed in a bright silver light.

When the light faded Mr. Weasley had a magical Silver collar around his throat, and magical silver cuffs around his wrist and ankles. Although the collar appears to be a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, what stands out most of all is the Malfoy Family Crest that dominates the center of collar and cuffs. Also, when the flash was gone, one silver cuff appeared on Mr. Malfoy's hand. People close to both boys reported that the collar and cuff had writing on them, however they were either to far away to read it, and those that were close claim that they did not recognize the language that the words were written in.

Soon after the light incident Head Master Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Retire Auror Alistair Moody, ex -Professor Lupin, Mr. and Mrs Weasley, & Narcissa Malfoy arrived on the scene and whisked the teenagers away to an undisclosed location. This reporter had tried to reach any of the above people for their comment, however at press time, none of them were available for comment.
