Daily Prophet
Tuesday 2 April 1996
Second Attack at Azkaban
Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge announced during a press conference yesterday afternoon that there had been an attempted breakout at Azkaban in the early morning.
"Early this morning Sirius Black, the werewolf Remus Lupin and half-giant Rubeus Hagrid were killed during their attempt to free "The Boy Who Is Unforgiveable" from Azkaban prison."
While details and questions were not provided, the Minister did state that it was due to the constant and superior vigilance of Warden Delores Umbridge.
The Daily Prophet attempted to get a response from Headmaster Dumbledore as to why the former DADA professor AND Professor of Care Of Magical Creatures were involved in this plot.
DMLE Head Amelia Bones had no comments either when asked about why other Death Eater were not apparently involved in the attempted break out.
