November 1, 1981 AD
A tragedy intertwines itself with victory.
Last night, You-Know-Who attacked the Potter family.
It seems that their Secret Keeper, as well as Haven Potter's Godfather, betrayed the Potters. You-Know-Who killed the Potters. This means that he entered the Potters' home, which - as we all know - was under the Fidelius Charm. Sirius Black - their Secret Keeper - must have switched sides in secret. He informed He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named of the Potters' whereabouts, and the dark wizard attacked them.
James Potter was found dead near the doorway.
Lily Potter was found dead in front of baby Haven's crib.
And Haven Potter?
Look closely, my readers; Haven Potter lives! She has made it out of the encounter with only a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. She has vanquished the Dark Lord!
According to Albus Dumbledore - Headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards - You-Know-Who cast the Killing Curse, and Haven Potter survived. Somehow, she reflected the Killing Curse back at the one who had cast it, vanquishing him.
When Dumbledore arrived on the scene, all that remained of the dark wizard who has been terrorizing our world for nearly a decade was a pile of dusty robes.
Haven Potter has saved us from a reign of terror. There will be celebrations in honor of the Girl-Who-Lived.

Sirius Black - the man who betrayed the Potters - has been captured at last.
When he was found by the Aurors, they witnessed a truly horrifying scene. Peter Pettigrew - a good friend of the Potters - was confronting Black, exclaiming that he had betrayed them. Then, the two old friends began a vicious duel on a Muggle street.
The duel was ended with an Exploding Charm that killed thirteen Muggles. Pettigrew, who was closest to the Charm, was killed in the blast, with only a finger to show that he ever existed.
When Black was taken in, he was said to have been blaming himself for the Potters' deaths. Taking this as a confession, Bartemius Crouch Sr. sentenced the mad wizard to Azkaban for the rest of his life.

Last night, the Longbottoms were attacked by Bellatrix Lestrange - formerly Black - Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange, and Bartemius Crouch Jr.
They claim to have been extracting information on You-Know-Who's disappearance from the Longbottoms. In the process, Frank and Alice Longbottom were exposed to the Cruciatus Curse for an extended period of time.
This exposure seems to have reduced the Longbottoms to a catatonic state, in which they do not recognize anything from the outside world.
Thankfully, their son was not exposed to the curse. He was found in a closet; it appears that either Frank or Alice hid him before they were overtaken.
They now reside in a long-term ward of Saint Mungo's, while Neville Longbottom has been taken in by his grandmother - Augusta Longbottom.

After much deliberation, this reporter would like to draw your attention to a couple of very important questions: What has happened to our hero? Where has Haven Potter gone?
Dumbledore has refused to share any information on the young hero's whereabouts, citing the fact that there are still Death Eaters running free. He claims that he does not wish to risk the last Potter's life by sharing her location prematurely, when there may still be a risk to her life.
This reporter concedes Dumbledore's point. After all, our Aurors are working overtime to bring in suspected Death Eaters, and the Wizengamot has met to set up a court where the suspected Death Eaters may be tried for their crimes.
Rumors have been circulating that the first trial will determine the guilt - or innocence - of the Lestranges and Crouch Jr. They will be closely followed by Lucius Malfoy.
Cyrus Greengrass and Augusta Longbottom have been overheard saying that without the Potter family, several seats on the Wizengamot will be empty for the upcoming process.
Will our world survive the damage done? Will the loss of the Potter family result in breakdown until Haven can appoint someone to take her seats in the House of Lords? What does the future hold?
