Prologue

The Daily Prophet

The Ministry of Magic has every wish to assure the Witches & Wizards of England that the mass breakout from Azkaban last night is being dealt with promptly and that there is no reason for Wizarding families to slip into a state of panic. The Minister of Magic, Master Kingsley Shacklebolt has issued a statement wishing to assure the people that, while none of the 12 former Death Eaters have been apprehended, the entire Auror's office as well as the members of the Order of the Phoenix, are making an admirable effort to have all of these criminals apprehended before Saturday next.

The danger that once riddled her days was back, and once again it was partly her job to fix it. It was time to once again, settle the score.
