OUR SOLEMN HOUR

Yesterday wizards and witches were left horrified and shocked when Mungdus Fletcher was discovered and apprehended as a follower of he who must not be named and he revealed under veritiserum that the former convicted boy who lived and our saviour, seventeen year old Harry potter is actually innocent, last year sixteen year old Harry potter former Hogwarts gryffindor student known as the only survivor of the killing curse and defeating He who must not be named, was accused of killing some of his friends Neville longbottom [whose parents were tortured into insanity] Luna lovegood [her fathers editor of the quibbler] and Fred and George weasley and if you remember the weasleys who were quite close to Mr potter were quick to point the finger at our saviour during the trial just because Dumbledore believed him guilty and even though he was only the boys headmaster they were quite close too as during school Mr potter was often sent to his office without being in trouble in fact even Remus Lupin former defense professor and werewolf turned on the boy despite being close friends with the potters in fact James potter often defended his friend despite knowing what he was how does lupin repay him by turning on his son, spitting lily and James would be ashamed of him, only at the end of Mr potters fifth year when it was discovered he must not be named really was back and Mr potter wasn't lying, former escapee convict Sirius Black was discovered to be innocent and he was James potters best friend and Harry potters godfather and Dumbledore, lupin, the ministry and weasleys believed him to be guilty and even the half-giant Hagrid has been convicted and spent time in Azkaban [ the wizarding prison, guarded by dementors] for something he hadn't done, both Hagrid and Mr Black didn't have a trial and Mr potter who wasn't of age at the time his trial was more a sham than anything he wasn't allowed to defend himself or even allowed veritiserum while all those closest to him slandered and degraded him, Mr potter the daily prophet and ministry of magic personally apologizes for any suffering you have gone through reimbursements will be made to your gringotts account.

we are very sorry
