Chapter 12
A New Beginning
"Is everyone alright?" Molly Weasley screamed as she went running up to catch George, Fred, Ron, Ginny, and Harry at the train station. "I heard about Hogwarts!"
"Mum, we're all fine," George said as Mrs. Weasley did something not quite so surprising. She grabbed both of the twins and pulled them into a tight embrace.
"Ouch, Mum! Be careful!" Fred shouted as he as George smacked their heads together.
But Mrs. Weasley was still holding the twins tightly. "And too think that the last thing I said to you was about how I didn't want you two to make a joke shop! You could have died at the school!" Tears had started rolling down her cheeks, but Mrs. Weasley didn't seem to notice.
"Mum, we really didn't get injured," George said, pulling away from his mother. "I just got a broken wrist, and Fred has only minor cuts and bruises."
"But it could have been worse!" Mrs. Weasley hysterically said as the group started walking along the train tracks. She grabbed Ron and pulled him into a hug. "Just to think I may have never seen my children again!" she wailed.
Fred, George and Ron just looked at each other.
"And Harry! He could have been killed! I don't care WHAT his aunt and uncle say, he's staying at the Burrow this summer!" Mrs. Weasley sternly said. "I'm going to keep him under my watchful eye! I swear, none of you boys, or Ginny! (She suddenly pulled Ginny into an embrace) will be out of my site for one moment this summer!
"Oh boy! What a fun summer this will be!" George mumbled as they started to walk out of the train station and towards the Burrow.

One More Death
Friday night, a long trail of blood was found in Angelina Jadene Solo's cell in the wizarding prison, Azkaban, writes reporter Rita Skeeter. The body was never found. Many people believe that she committed suicide, and that the Dementors had already disposed of her, but we shall never know the truth. This is the story of what truly happened during that horrible night at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the names of all the students who died at Hogwarts this year.
As many people know already, You-Know-Who had risen to power, killing not only wizards, but also Muggles who knew absouluty nothing about magic. Many people believed that he was after World Domination, which wasn't too hard to believe. But further investigation on this subject showed otherwise. It shocked researchers everywhere, and not many people of the general public believe that You-Know-Who is actually Albus Dumbledore's, the former Headmaster at Hogwarts, brother.
"Well, we think You-Know-Who sought revenge after Dumbledore, we just aren't too sure as to WHY yet," Cornelius Fudge said during an interview a few days ago. "Why he would want to kill other people besides Dumbledore is beyond me."
On May 25th, the Hogwarts Castle collapsed, showing off the power of You-Know-Who. He showed the entire wizarding world that he had enough power to knock down entire buildings. The death toll was astonishing. 45 students were killed in the accident, and hundreds more badly injured.
Gryffindors Killed: Hermione Granger, Chrissy Raustinberge, Michelle Rand Maree-Sue Raustinberge, Parvati Patil, Seamus Finnigan, Kayle Sando, Dean Thomas, Shawna Smith, James Patrick, Jake Stevenson, Patty LaBelle, Hallie Sullivan, and Britanny Maloy.
Hufflepuffs Killed: Anna Miller, Steve Thomson, Horance Goodman, Stevie Wonder, Lily Muchon, Stephania Mills, May Goodwin, Josh Littlewind, Mary Sue, and Rosha Nelson.
Ravenclaws Killed: Daisy Connell, Kristy Neil, Beth Anderson, Debbie Hobbs, Jamie Kambrich, Patrick, Hughs, Ormi Goode, Adiel Goode, Gillion Goode, Neil Tomsan,
Slytherins Killed: Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, Pansy Parkinson, Raven Smith, Ariel Landings, Della O'Conner, Pete Conrad, Suki Thomas, Hannah Fear, Robin Wein, Sammie Hays, Karen Willus, Laura Waldren, Leah Organic, Laya Rand, Wittney Spears.
After this disaster, all we can do is watch and wait, hoping for the best to come of the world. In the mean time, we must start rebuilding our homes and communities. Angelina Jadene Solo will remain in the minds of the people in this world for the fact that she warned Albus Dumbledore about the attack. If though young Angelina was still able to warn the school, You-Know-Who still managed to kill Dumbledore. We can finally breath a sigh of relief, and say the name Voldemort without going into panic. We can truly say that THIS was the terrifying Rise of Lord Voldemort.
