Two days following the raid on the Chamber of Secrets the Daily Prophet's head article read as such: Secret Chamber found within Hogwarts.
Two days prior it became knowledge to Hogwarts Professors that there was indeed a secret chamber located within the school itself. It has been speculated for years if such a chamber truly did exist, but with the information now released to the public the rumors can once and for all be put to rest.
The chamber's location was discovered when Professors asked one of the school's ghosts how it was she came to pass from our world. Upon further examination the entrance was found to be located within a girls lavatory.
The details of how exactly the Professors were able to open the entrance remains a mystery. When Reporter Rita Skeeter went to ask the Professor responsible for finding the entrance, Professor Esdeath, about how she was able to do it, the Professor said that she had no comment and recommended that Ms. Skeeter stop asking her questions before she learned a new definition of pain.
If the name of Esdeath sounds familiar readers might recall an earlier edition of the Prophet which covered the trial of Sirius Black. The same Esdeath in question was present at the trial and managed to get custody of Peter Pettigrew after physically assaulting the Undersecratary of the Minister Dolores Umbridge. What was most startling about this Esdeath was that she claimed to be a muggle. How she was able to get the position of Defense Against the Dark arts professor if this were the case remains a mystery at this time.
Muggle or not Professor Esdeath and her colleague Professor Ran were able to successfully enter the chamber, and deal with the creature that lived within its depths. For readers wondering what the creature was the Professors state that it was a basilisk. Again the Professors were not willing to give a comment about how they disposed of the creature.
One thing is quite clear however, Hogwarts is becoming a safer place for its students. While Hogwarts was already rumored to be the safest place in the country, with the appointment of its new teachers parents can rest assured that their children will be out of harms way.

Harry read over the article the Hermione was practically shoving in his face as they got read to meet for their study group. "Can you believe it?!" Hermione asked him. "All this time there was a bloodthirsty creature living right beneath the school and nobody had any idea!"
"I can believe it actually," Harry told her as he pushed the paper away from his face. "How do you think they were able to get in?"
"You mean you-,"
"Yes."
"With your-,"
"Yes."
"Hey," a voice called walking up to the table they were sitting at in the library. It belonged to Tracey. "What were you talking about?"
"Just about the Prophets article on the hidden chamber," Harry told her.
"Yeah you and everyone else in the school," Daphne added as she appeared behind her fellow Slytherin.
"Well it is a big deal," Tracey told her friend.
"I didn't say it wasn't," Daphne said. "It just gets a bit old is all."
"So what do you two think?" Tracey asked. "What do you think of Professor Esdeath?"
"Well she's absolutely brilliant in my opinion," Hermione said right away. "I mean how many other teachers would have us strengthen our bodies before strengthening our magic?"
"Well I'm still sore from all that training she had us do," Daphne said. While Esdeath had cut back on the warm up exercises she was still having them do practice spars in hand to hand combat, but she would allow them to use a few minor spells. "My question is will we be learning new magic? I mean if she is a muggle how will we actually learn magic?"
"I wouldn't doubt her too much," Harry said. "She does seem like the person who picks up things rather quickly, and she showed she is capable of defeating a basilisk so I wouldn't worry too much." Unbeknownst to Harry that was the opposite of what the Minister of Magic was doing.
Cornelius Fudge just finished reading his copy of the Daily Prophet and needless to say it had him stressed out of his mind. The fact that there was indeed a hidden chamber located within the school was troubling enough, but the thing that he kept receiving howlers over were centered around a certain blue haired professor.
The fact that she had put Dolores in St. Mungos, become a teacher at Hogwarts, discover the Chamber of Secrets just a few weeks into term, and that she was a muggle and refused to talk to Skeeter only added to the mystery surrounding this woman. Letters had been flocking into his all day demanding to know more about her and the Minister had no idea how to respond to them.
He had asked a few halfbloods that were working for him if they knew anything about her. They either just shook their heads and were as clueless as he was, or a look of terror came across their faces and they told him it was better he not know about her. In essence he did not know anything about her so he couldn't assure the public, and if he couldn't assure the public he would not win the next election.
Cornelius had to do something he just wasn't sure what. As he covered his face with his hands he heard the sound of knocking coming from his door. It opened ever so slightly for a witch to peek her head in. "Lucius Malfoy is here to meet with you Minister," she told him. "Should I send him in?"
"Yes yes of course," Cornelius told her. Perhaps Lucius could help. After all the Malfoy patriarch was one of the most influential members in the magical community, and his donations to Fudge certainly helped to keep his political campaign going strong. The witch closed the door for a moment and opened it a second later for the dignified blonde to walk in and take a seat across from Fudge.
"Good morning Minister," Lucius greeted. "I trust that you've seen this mornings edition of the Daily Prophet?"
"Yes indeed I have, I was just thinking about it before you arrived. It is rather troublesome isn't it?"
"I was thinking the same thing Minister. I mean a muggle teaching at a magical school of all things. Dumbledore must be going senile."
Fudge nodded. "Yes she is just a mystery to you as she is to me. Perhaps Dumbledore knows more about her than us."
"It is possible," Lucius admitted. "The man does seem to have a rather fond affection for them. I myself and other noble families have never saw the need to interact with them much."
"Well the public certainly seems to want to know more," Cornelius stated. "They are torn between wanting to quell their curiosity, or wanting their kids to be pulled from school since they don't trust muggles, and I have no idea what to tell them."
"You know minister there is a way for you to get more information on the woman," Lucius told him.
"Oh ho and what is that?" Fudge asked. "I do not plan on approaching that woman, not after what happened to Dolores."
"I was not going to suggest that," Lucius reassured him. "You could opt for more discreet means."
"An inquisition of sorts?" Fudge asked for clarification.
"Yes," Lucius confirmed. "And into their Capital at that. A few aurors can apperate in search for any relevant information I doubt they have the means to engage fully trained wizards."
"It seems a bit extreme Lucius," Fudge said as he was always one to play it safe. "Would it not be better to send a letter first to ask for a formal inquisition?"
"You could of course do that Minister, but you would risk exposing our world," Lucius reasoned.
Fudge sighed as he weighed his options. Both had their risks of course, but Lucius had never led him astray before, and Fudge considered the man to be his closest and most trustful advisor. "I believe you are right Lucius. I will choose which aurors who undergo this task it shouldn't be too difficult, they will only have to avoid a couple of muggles after all. What could go wrong?"
