Suicide at Hogwarts
Yesterday morning school officials at Hogwarts discovered the body of Muggleborn 5th Year Gryffindor Prefect Hermione Jean Granger at the base of the school's Astronomy Tower. Reports from those of her House stated that she was in the common room after the Halloween Feast, where there were stories and discussions regarding former classmate The Boy Who Is Unforgiveable, who was likely in route to Azkaban after his conviction in which the victim provided very damning evidence of her assault and subsequent rape. While none are aware why she did it, but apparently after hearing one story she promptly rushed up to her dorm room and then soon left saying that she needed something from the Library. As this was considered normal behavior, no one thought anything was amiss.
After discovering her body, her dorm room was checked and a suicide note was found on her pillow next to her broken wand.
The note stated
I have betrayed
I have been betrayed
I betray no more
