Chapter 2

As summer turns into fall

Mystery still not solved, Death Eaters "burned out".

The ministry still hasn't got a clue, but doesn't seem to complain. The places in Azkaban are quickly filled as Death Eaters 'rapport' themselves in the front office of the ministry. Many have been burned with special signs. They are still not saying who "sends" them, but it seems You-Know-Who is having it difficult. We do not know for sure how many Death Eaters there are left, but the plundering and killing is lessening every week…

Cornelius Fudge resigns, who will be his successor?

This morning, minister Cornelius Fudge, resigned. "I will stay to help, until there will be a new minister for magic." At the question why he resigned he could only state; "I have done all I can. Now, a new minister may complete the order of this world." It seems that the minister has buckled under the pressure, though he refuses to confess. Now is the question of who will succeed him. We have asked Albus Dumbledore, but he gave us the answer; "I could not leave my school, even if you gave me a hundred gallions for it. My care is for the children." We also asked him if he preferred someone. "I could not thing of anyone, for many fit the job," was all he answered…

Mysterious burn mark revealed, person unknown.

Mungo's Healers spent the entire day in revealing the, until recently, unidentified burn. After different combinations of spells preformed on one of the Death Eaters in custody, the mysterious burn mark cleared. It seems that all Death Eaters were newly 'recruited' to the one with a phoenix symbol. Many turned toward professor Dumbledore, since he was the only wizard in Great Brittan known to have a phoenix under his care. Dumbledore laughed and said; "If Fawkes knew how to produce a burn mark, I would have been the first to know." As we asked for an explanation, he answered; "We can only that this person, who ever he is, that he or she helps us in our search for justice. If he hadn't been here, Sirius Black would still be on the run for something he didn't do. Plus, it saves us a lot of searching for innocent people." It seems that Dumbledore thinks high of this individual. We can only hope that this person stays on our side…

You-Know-Who, fear the name.

For years people didn't dare use the name. Only powerful man, such as professor Dumbledore, seemed to be able to speak it, without fearing it. But since Cedric Diggory has returned from the graveyard, more people are willing to speak his name. Harry Potter, known for his bravery and innocence, has set an example by saying his name many times before his death. Cedric Diggory seems to have followed his example. "You cannot fear a name," so he said in an interview giving shortly before he returns to Hogwarts this September. "Harry showed us many things and what I learned from him, is that if you fear the name of something or someone, you only fear them even more." Even Harry Potter's late best friends seemed to think this way too. "It is true," says Ronald Weasley. "Harry has always said his name, never fearing it. And we all learned from him, just like Cedric said, to not fear someone's or something's name. Because it grows in power when you do." Wise words for someone so young, but there is only truth in his words…

A/N: I thought I would give you some information. All the questions that are being asked, well you'll just have to wait for the next chapters for more information. Girls may cry longer than boys… I'm someone who doesn't cry very often. Not even when my grandfather died, did I cry. But I can tell you this, when you lose a loved one, you can still cry a year after everything has happened. The game Hermione and Ginny were playing with Sirius and Remus was more of a distraction. It was a sad version of a fairytale. Maybe seven goats and a wolf will give you a hint…
