THE NEW MINISTER AFTER FUDGE'S RETIREMENT
ARTHUR WEASLEY GOT PROMOTED
Arthur Weasley from the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry of Magic yesterday was elected by the Wizengamot Council to be the next Minister of Magic. After Fudge's retirement three days ago, the Council found it's hard to get someone who would eventually lead us against You-Know-Who in the future.
Albus Dumbledore was the first person to be nominated, but just like six years ago, he turned it down. 'I like my school, thank you very much and I'm far too old to become the new minister. Some might say that my ideas are too rusty to be used' he said when our reporter met him in his office at Hogwarts.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is currently the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Chairman of the International Confederation of Wizards, and the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945 and discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood. How can Arthur Weasley compete with this great wizard whom You-Know-Who most fears? It turns out that Dumbledore himself nominated Mr. Weasley with the support of other members of the Council.
'I know Arthur for a long time. He's a hard worker and he has the bravery to against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. His cheerfulness and interest on Muggle's world might sometimes get carried away, but he's alright'
Mr. Weasley's third son, Percival Weasley was also working as the Minister Junior Assistant for this past one year. Some says that it'll turn our beloved Ministry into a family's business. But our resources said that this father-son relationship doesn't work well. Percy, along with the other people at Ministry, had been refusing the fact that You-Know-Who have return for this past one year while the rest of the family choose to believe in Dumbledore's side of story.
Arthur Weasley's older son, William, currently is working for Gringotts as a curse-breaker and his second son, Charles is working with dragons in Romania. Frederick and George Weasley is the owner of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, a new joke shop in Number 93 Diagon Alley while Ronald and Ginevra Weasley are currently the students of Hogwarts and close friends of Harry Potter.
Mr. Weasley's coronation will be held in Hillforth Hotel, London at 12 November and shall be attended by the members of Wizengamot Council, along with the representative from the Bulgaria's Ministry of Magic.
Harry re-read the news for several times before he put down the newspaper. {They deserved it. If there's someone who is appropriate to be the Minister, its Mr. Weasley. Ron had always been complaining about how poor they are, well, he can't complain now. Ha ha... but what about Percy? I wonder if he has changed his mind...} Harry turns the page to read other news, where he finds the news about Sirius on page three, the smallest column at the left bottom of the page.
SIRIUS BLACK IS NOT A DEATH EATER
PETER PETTIGREW'S FAKE DEATH
A shocking fact was revealed to the Wizengamot Council five days ago when the recaptured Death Eaters was interrogated under the Veritaserum. It turns out that Sirius Black, who was accused to be the servant of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, prisoner of Azkaban for 12 years and escaped from it three years ago, is innocent.
Sirius Black was first accused to cause the death of Peter Pettigrew and other 12 Muggles on November 1, fifteen years ago. He was also suspected to be the Secret-Keeper when James and Lily Potter perform a Fidelius Charm to hide their location. However, the confession of Avery, one of the captured Death Eater, under Veritaserum tell us that it was Pettigrew who was the real Secret Keeper for the Potters, betrayed them and turned to the dark side with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
The Death Eaters was recaptured when they tried to break into the Department of Mysteries a several days ago. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was also seen there, but he managed to escape, giving up his 4 Death Eater to our Aurors.
Hopefully, this new fact would stop the Ministry from searching Black after three years of no results and start to concentrate their every resources and efforts to keep He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named from rising again.
{What? Is that it? Nothing about the Propechy? Wait, maybe Dumbledore didn't tell them the whole story... yeah, that's must be it. But why didn't he?}
Harry put down the Daily Prophet and spends the rest of his day and evening making his homework while waiting for Hedwig to return with Lupin's answer. By the time Harry finishes on his Potion's essay (name all the ingredients of a Polyjuice and explain each effects to the potion), it's already six o'clock. Harry went to the bathroom again and down to the kitchen for some water. Surprisingly, Uncle Vernon was there.
"What do you want, boy? Go back to your room!" he grumbled while pouring red wine to his glass.
"I just want a glass of water, that's all." answered Harry, grabs an empty glass next to a water dispenser.
"Hmmph, don't act like you own the house. THIS IS MY HOUSE, YOU HEAR?! The only reason we keep you here is because Petunia too scared of your freaky friends!" again while pouring down another wine.
Harry feels a bell is ringing in his ears and suddenly, the emotion he's been kept down for this past years raged up, "DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M ENJOYING LIVING HERE?! BEING TREATED LIKE SOME BLOODY RUBBISH, PICKED BY DUDLEY SINCE I CAME TO THIS HOUSE, FORCED TO WEAR HIS OLD CLOTHES? WELL, GUESS WHAT?! I DON'T! SO STOP ACTING AS IF YOU'RE A PERFECT MAN IN A PERFECT WORLD WITH A PERFECT HOUSE AND FAMILY BEFORE YOU TOOK ME IN, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT!!!"
"DON'T YOU DARE YELLED AT ME, BOY!!! YOU'LL RESPECT ME LIKE DUDLEY DO!!! BE GRATEFUL THAT WE TOOK YOU IN! OTHERWISE YOU WOULD BE IN AN ORPHENAGE NOW! HANGING AROUND WITH OTHER ORPHENS WHO LEFT BY THEIR PARENTS TO DIE!!!"
"WELL, I'M BETTER OFF WITH THEM THAN HERE LIVING WITH YOU!!! AND WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? TO BE RESPECTED BY DUDLEY? HAH, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR SON HAS BECOME! A COWARD WHO'S BULLYING ON LITTLE CHILDREN!"
"RUBBISH!!! YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS AT DUDLEY, BECAUSE HE GOT A FAMILY AND YOURS IS DEAD, HAH! Wha-, get the hell off me boy! Ouch, STOP! PETUNIA! DUDLE- Ouf!"
By the time Aunt Petunia arrives at the kitchen, Harry received a right jab from Uncle Vernon on his neck, but it didn't stop Harry from punching his Uncle. Left, right, a hook, a jab, a straight, an uppercut, another jab, and another one. Aunt Petunia was shocked and just stood there for a while before she starts to yell, "Y-You! how dare you?! Stop it! Stop it right now! You, you brat! Dudley! Dudley, come here fast! Your father's in trouble! Hurry!"
I do NOT own Harry Potter and its related characters, names, places, and so on. They belong to J.K.Rowling and hers only, unless she said otherwise.
