The day after they broke into Azkaban and rescued their people The Daily Prophet was everywhere and most people were in a panic, though just as many were celebrating.

Mass Breakout At Azkaban, Imprisoned Death Eaters At Large

Yesterday afternoon, there was a major assault on the wizarding prison of Azkaban. All of the Aurors and Guards that had been stationed at the prison were found dead and over half the occupants gone, almost all of them Death Eaters. The Most notable of them being the cousins Black. Both Sirius Black, the betrayer of James and Lily Potter, and his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black. Who along with her husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, and brother-in law, Rabastian and fellow Death Eater, Barty Crouch jr tortured Auror Frank Longbottom and wife Alice into insanity. They were stopped however in time from doing the same to their baby son Neville. The Aurors were tipped off and lead by Albus Dumbledore to the Longbottom Manor where they found the four Death Eaters standing over the broken couple while their child cried desperately from his cot in the corner just hours after He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named destruction at the hands of Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived.

The other prisoners who were not in Azkaban for being Death Eaters were random prisoners sentenced for all manner of crimes and have no discernible link to the breakout.

According to sources one of the Guards was able to send a patronus message before his death and that the breakout was being lead by none other than You-Know-Who and other Death Eaters, which has not been confirmed beyond that fact that the Dark Mark was found in the sky above the ruins of the prison when Aurors reported to the scene.

Aurors will be using the temporary holding cells for any new prisoners and any escapees that they are able to recapture at the Ministry until Azkaban can be repaired and additional security put in place. Hopefully the new security measures will be enough to keep another breakout from happening.

The Ministry has high hopes that they will catch the people who broke into Azkaban and those that are missing from Azkaban. But we here at the Daily Prophet find that highly unlikely as so far all they have is theories and no suspects or possible suspects, besides those that they are considering suspects are purely out of spite or for political reasons as far as we can tell.

Possibility Of You-Know-Who's Return

It is unconfirmed that he is back and responsible for the breakout at Azkaban as the only proof is the patronus message sent by a dying Guard at Azkaban. The Ministry is not backing up that he is in fact back and has stated that it was most likely a Death Eater disguised as the evil Dark Lord rather than the man returned from the dead.

As plausible as the explanation is it doesn't mean that the unknown Death Eaters haven't had enough and have decided that even without You-Know-Who leading them that they will start the war again.

We at the Daily Prophet caution and warn people that a second war may be brewing again and to remain vigilant and ready in case war does break out soon

Further down on the front page of the paper was a response from Dumbledore on the Disappearance of Harry Potter.

"No Need To Worry" Says Headmaster Dumbledore

"Harry is unable to return to Hogwarts for the foreseeable future and will be back as soon as possible, though that may not be for some time. There was an incident that needed his attention with his family and he will be dealing with it for months if not longer. But not to worry he is being tutored as he can't attend Hogwarts at the moment. I have no doubt that he will be back soon."

However the Auror's report that was done before the sudden breakout at Azkaban doesn't support Dumbledore's statement. And they had a hard time doing their job as the headmaster didn't allow them to properly question staff and students. If all was right, why would he not allow them to do their jobs and go out of his way to stop them from doing their jobs properly.

Could the disappearance of The-Boy-Who-Lived be another sign of war brewing? Could Death Eaters have attacked and taken the boy away in the last weeks of his first year at school?

They all shook their heads as they looked over the paper and decided that both Lucius and Narcissa had each won the bet and would share the money, it was well over two hundred gallons as more people had joined in on the bet.

They were also angry over the part about Bella and the others. The four of them had found out that Dumbledore knew or at least suspected that Alice and Frank were dark supporters but not Death Eaters and when they found out that Dumbledore had decided now that Tom was gone he could do whatever he liked and tortured them for information. Bella and the others had surprised him and chased him off but were unable to leave before he returned with Aurors and had the four arrested. In fact Alice and Frank knew next to nothing, they weren't quite dark supporters but were only just starting to lean that way after finding out more about the dark side and finding out the many unsavory hidden things about the light side and Dumbledore specifically. They had been talking to Lily when they had brought Neville over for playdates and even talked to Bella and Narcissa a few times about joining the Death Eaters before they were tortured.

Thankfully Neville had actually been at his grandmothers when Dumbledroe had attacked as they had no doubt that he would have used Neville as leverage against the couple. As it was the Dowager Lady Longbottom wasn't a fan of either side of the war and was as neutral as they come and was able to keep Dumbledore away from her grandson

All in all the Daily Prophet had been good to them today with it's headlining articles, spreading fear and more importantly doubts about Dumbledore.

HP/FG - TW

It was less than a day after the breakout that Dumbledore had contacted all the old order members, had reconvened the order and called an emergency meeting. With all the old order safe houses and meeting places gone after the end of the war Dumbledore tried to use Potter Manor in Leeds but found himself locked out of the wards when he apparated to the manor and after trying and failing to get in, went back to Hogwarts and allowed the order meeting to take place in his office.

As member after member showed up and kept trying to ask question after question until the room was full and they were yelling over each other trying to be heard until Dumbledore had had enough and used the snorous charm to amplify his voice and silence the crowd.

"Thank you all for coming. I know you all want answers and I will do my best to answer them for you. But before we get to all that I'm sure you have all heard about the incident at Azkaban and have read the Daily Prophet article reporting Harry Potter missing. I am sorry to say that he is in fact missing and I fear possibly dead. I was holding the sorcerer's stone for Nicholas Flamel and in one night both it and Harry were gone, taken by the same person I believe... And now just a few months later Voldemort has been spotted and dozens of Death Eaters and other prisoners from Azkaban freed. Now I know many of you will doubt it or wish for me to be wrong but I do believe that Voldemort has returned and took both Harry and the stone with him. I have my doubts that Harry is still alive but I do believe that even if he is, we are all doomed," said Dumbledore calmly before pandemonium broke out and the whole order was screeching at the tops of their lungs.

"What are you talking about Albus," asked McGonagall as she made her voice heard and made her way to the front of the crowd.

"I'm just saying what I know to be true Minerva," said Dumbledore putting on his humble grandfatherly act as he sat behind his desk.

"What are we going to do if he is back? With all the deaths in the last war we are smaller now than we ever have been before. And at least before we were at war, and everyone knew it, now how are we going to get more members if no one knows or will believe that a new war is coming?" Asked Mad-eye as his eye swiveled around madly as if he was trying to look at everyone all at once.

"We still have to try, Alistor. There are people out there who will listen. And what of the people we already have close to us. Now we can't make them join but Molly, your two oldest sons are of age, and Andromeda, your daughter is training to be an Auror, she will no doubt wish to help us stop the evil that is at hand."

"Albus you can't really be asking us to force our children to join the order?"

"I'm not, but I encourage you to ask them. To tell them what you know, to let them make their own decisions and hopefully they will join us in stopping Voldemort," Dumbledore said as he watched them all flinch at hearing Voldemort's name, knowing that even if the doubted him they feared Voldemort and would chose to fight against him.

Dumbledore did talk some more and had successfully convinced the order members to place their trust in him to let him lead them in the fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters despite any doubts they still had in him. As they left they all knew they had to find new members and do all they could to find Harry Potter, because if they couldn't then all was lost.

As the order members filed out of his office Dumbledore was surprised that Molly and Arthur Weasley stayed behind.

"Is there something you need from me Molly, Arthur?"

"Yes, headmaster. With all the commotion the past few days we haven't had a chance to mention this but all the money, it's gone. And the goblins sent us letters saying that we need to pay it all back. We don't have that kind of money Albus, you know that," screeched Molly at the top of her lungs as if talking calmly wasn't good enough.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's all gone! Don't you understand? I bet if you actually looked at your mail you would see that all yours is gone and that the goblins are taking your money in interest. And it's not just the money that's gone but the new things we bought are gone, along with books and jewels you gave us as payment. You said that we wouldn't have to worry about this sort of thing. That you had handled everything. Besides, how are my children supposed to keep an eye out on the Potter brat if he isn't around to spy on. Let alone marry Ginny when the time comes. You need to fix this and now," said Molly as she stomped around the office waving her arms about in a fit.

"I'm sure it's just an oversight Molly. The first chance I get I will find out what has happened and see that all the money and valuables are returned and everything will be back to the way it was before," said Dumbledore as he tried placating the irate woman. On the inside and behind the half-moon glasses Dumbledore was becoming incandescent with rage the only thing that showed it was his icy eyes. How dare those filthy goblins screw up and do something so stupid.

Soon enough he calmed the woman down and ushered her and her husband out of his office before pulling out all the letters he could find and low and behold he found the letter he hadn't read from Gringotts. Opening the letter he read it and did all he could to stop himself from rushing to the bank and strangling the first goblin he came across.

To Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore,

Headmaster of Hogwarts,

Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards,

And Chief Warlock of the Wizgamont

We here at Gringotts have discovered an oversight in certain accounts of more than one of our other customers and have returned all unauthorized transfered money that you authorized without having said proper authorization. As such you and all the people you gave money or valuables to will have to return and pay back what was taken, with interest.

Also due to the thefts we were able to find you responsible for, as such your vaults have been sized and emptied as recompense for the thefts and therefore you no longer have an account or will be able to do business with Gringotts bank at our London location or any other Gringotts location.

From Iron Axe,

Managing Director of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, London Branch

Dumbledore threw a fit to end all fits destroying over half his office and sent all of the people in their portraits scurrying off to other portraits so they didn't have to witness the Headmasters temper tantrum. As soon as he got a handle on his anger he headed straight to Gringotts but found that he couldn't even walk in the front doors. The goblins that stood outside the doorway didn't even pay him any attention as he tried to force his way into the building, they simply stood unmoving as they watched over the entrance, watching all the passersby get distracted by the display Dumbledore was creating as he tried and failed to gain entrance to the building.
