On with the Tale

Chapter 9 Skeeter Scoop

Hermione woke up the next morning in high spirits. She got of bed and took a quick shower. She put on a pair of pale blue robes and went into the kitchen. She made some tea before she went into the living room and gathered all the files she had left there yesterday.

A owl was tapping on the window carrying the morning news. Hermione open the window and let the owl fly in. He dropped the paper on the couch then stuck out his leg for his payment. Hermione grabbed the money of the end table along with the owl treat and gave them to him. He flew out the window and she closed it behind him.

Hermione picked up the paper to see her picture on the front page. She took a deep breath before she read the article.

Ministry Out of Her Mind or Just a Lapse in Judgment

Article by Miss Gail Skeeter

Yesterday the Ministry of Magic, Miss Hermione J. Granger, signed papers releasing death eater, Draco Malfoy, from Azkaban. People were shocked to find this bit of information out for they thought that they would be safe from all death eaters, who are suppose to be in Azkaban for life.

Unable to obtain an interview with the Ministry of Magic we settled for the head of Azkaban Control, Kenneth J. Wood. Mr. Wood had this to say about the situation at hand, "I think Granger had the right idea! It was a wise decision on her part plus she didn't just release him to do as he pleases. He is on probation with one wrong move on his part, he'll find his (the word he used was not appropriate for some readers so we changed it) bottom back in Azkaban."

Many are wondering why she released Mr. Malfoy, death eater, at all. When we questioned an Azkaban guard we learned that Mr. Malfoy is permanently blind due to a unknown spell in the eyes. We also wonder about the other injuries imprisoned death eaters, will they too walk among us soon or will Draco Malfoy be the only one?

Was this decision proof that the Ministry of Magic is gone stack raving mad or is this just a lapse in her judgment? We'll let you decide for yourselves.

Hermione was outraged how could they have done this to her. So much for her high spirits now.
