13. Bodynapped
The Quibbler – 17 July 2002
BELLATRIX BODYNAPPED
Luna Lovegood, London - While being freighted to the waste facility yesterday afternoon, the bereaved body of Bellatrix Black Lestrange was brusquely bodynapped by a Daily Prophet reporter and her cohorts. The Prophet denies any connection and the Aurors claim no such thing has taken place at all.
Our source, who wishes to remain anonymous, says she herself witnessed both the planning of the deed and the bringing back of Bellatrix's body to an undisclosed location.
'They have the best of intentions, I'm quite sure,' she says, 'but I'm afraid the results may not be what they have expected. I've said as much, but they would not listen.'
She claims the bodynappers intend to revive Bellatrix Black Lestrange through methods she has chosen not to reveal, she says, for fear of what others might do with that information.
It is not the intent of the bodynappers to bring Bellatrix back but rather to use her body for what our source calls scientific purposes. While she can't fault their logic, she fears a repetition of the Frankenstein myth and the escape of a new Bellatrix, more dangerous than ever.
Our source would not reveal to us the names of either the reporter or her cohorts but has given this information, and more, to the Aurors in the hope that they might prevent a disaster, should things not go as planned.
