In Hogwarts Castle, I was facing Draco Malfoy in the Dueling Club. It was gonna be a deadly battle.
The first meeting of the club was held on 17 December at eight o'clock in the evening in the Great Hall. It was led by Gilderoy Lockhart and Severus Snape. Lockhart and Snape opened the club with a demonstration of formal duelling, including the accepted combative position, though Snape was rather crude with his greeting. Snape easily overpowered Lockhart, hitting him with a Disarming Charm so powerful that it knocked Lockhart against the nearby wall. Presumably deciding that Snape was far too skilful for him, Lockhart barely covered his own ineptitude by lying that he let Snape do it (which angered Snape so much that even the ever ignorant Lockhart saw it) and decided to let the students practise duelling on their own. The students were split into pairs (with Snape making sure neither Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, nor Hermione Granger were partnered with each other) and commanded to practise disarming.
This, however, turned out to be a mistake, as the room quickly dissolved into chaos, and had to be broken up by the use of Finite Incantatem by Snape. Some results of the frenzied duelling included Harry and Draco Malfoy using far more malicious spells than the Disarming Charm, Ron's broken wand leaving Seamus Finnigan ashen-faced, and Hermione and Millicent Bulstrode reduced to physical combat.
At this, Snape suggested teaching the students to block unfriendly spells would be prudent. Lockhart agreed, but, having no idea how to do it himself, failed to instruct Harry as to the proper way to do this. Nevertheless, Harry was paired with Draco once again. At Snape's instruction, Draco used the Snake Summons Spell and conjured a large, black snake. Having created the desired effect of scaring Harry, Snape moved to get rid of the snake, but Lockhart moved first, hitting the snake with Alarte Ascendare. However, this spell only lifted the snake a few feet into the air, enraging it further and causing it to make its way towards Justin Finch-Fletchley. Harry, unaware of what he was doing, commanded the snake to stop in Parseltongue. Snape, becoming horrified at this new discovery, vanished the snake and ended the meeting.
Further meetings
Presumably, the club was disbanded when Lockhart lost his memory and was removed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. The Club was, though, reinstated by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore in 1996 as a precaution when Lord Voldemort had been officially announced at large once again. Each house, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor had their own head of duelling club member who acted as a leader and would arrange practise duels. Each house also had their own personal duelling area from which students of all houses could go to duel: Gryffindors gathered in the Great Hall, Ravenclaws in the Middle Courtyard, Slytherins in The Quad, and Hufflepuffs in the Training Grounds.
Legacy
Following the first meeting of the club, the student body (as well as Harry himself) became aware of Harry's status as a Parselmouth. This alienated the student body, causing a large portion of them to believe that Harry was the Heir of Slytherin and was setting the monster in the Chamber of Secrets on Muggle-borns. This opinion only changed when Hermione Granger (known to be a good friend of Harry's) was attacked as well. Harry's knowledge of Parseltongue would later serve him in combating the true heir of Slytherin and, much later, opening Salazar Slytherin's Locket.
Both the Disarming Charm and the knowledge of formal duelling helped Harry to survive against Lord Voldemort in a duel the two would have over two years later, and those same skills would help him face Voldemort again, for the final time during Voldemort's last stand.

Nico, Lincoln and Qin were invited to watch. I was going to smear Draco Malfoy's name through the mud.
Nico: This is gonna be awesome!
Lincoln: It sure is. I've read all about the Dueling Club in the 2nd book and watched the 2nd movie and it was awesome.
Qin: It sure is.
Draco: (British Accent) Scared Knudson?
Me: In your dreams Malfoy.
I fired a powerful Force Blast and sent Malfoy crashing into the walls.
Nico: That was too easy.
Lincoln: Yeah.
Draco Malfoy got up.
(Goku's Spirit Bomb Theme plays at 2:03.)
He saw my aura flared up and it was overflowing with an incredible amount of life energy combined with a lot of magic and power. The power of my energy was so strong and so incredible that it was causing plants, trees, shrubs, grass and flowers to grow all over the room at a rapid level. Within a matter of seconds, the whole room of the dueling club was now a beautiful jungle flourishing with life.
(Two Worlds by Phil Collins From the 1999 trailer for Tarzan sang)
Phil Collins: (Singing Offscreen) Somewhere something is calling for you; Two worlds, one family; Trust your heart; Let fate decide; To guide these lives we see.
Nico: Wow! Look at all this!
Lincoln: Incredible! One minute this was a room full of furniture and then in a matter of seconds it's now a jungle!
Qin: J.D.'s power is as strong as a god.
Harry Potter: (British Accent) How did J.D. get his powers?
Nico: When he was a baby, he was exposed to a powerful level of Cosmic Radiation - Radiation from Outer Space. It had incredible unpredictable effects and it granted him Omnipotent Powers of all kinds. J.D.'s power is so strong that it puts all the evil powers everywhere to shame.
Ron Weasley: (British Accent) Wow! That's bloody incredible!
Hermione Granger: (British Accent) It sure is.
Ginny Weasley: (British Accent) Yeah. He has been there for so many people all over the universe.
Nico: That's what makes J.D. the most powerful force in the entire universe. It's not because of his power, it's because of his heart. His heart is so pure and his love for those that he cares about is so powerful that he will go to great lengths to protect everyone and free the universe from all evil.
Qin: Wow. I saw all his adventures and they are awesome.
Nico: We still have many more adventures ahead of us Qin. And our adventures are far from over.
Lincoln: Yep.
Draco: What are you!?
Me: A human that was given great power and With Great Power comes Great Responsibility. It's my responsibility to use my powers to protect everyone from the forces of evil that threaten the entire universe from total destruction. Especially from people like you.
Draco: Why? What have I done?
Me: Nothing yet. But if you do something evil, I will be forced to take action and either end your life or put you in prison. So consider this your first and only warning. And you and your henchmen better stop harassing Harry and his friends or there will be debts to pay. In blood.
Draco: Why do you protect someone like Potter?
Me: It's not just Harry Potter that I'm protecting. It's everyone. There's a prophecy that's centered around him.
Everyone murmured.
Nico: What prophecy?
Me: Here's an interesting thing I found out. While I was on my way to my next charms class, I made a quick stop to the library and in a secret room, hidden behind one of the bookcases was an ancient book. It looked to be over 520 years old. Written back at the end of the 15th century. That's this book I have in my tote bag.
Nico handed me my bag and I pulled out the book. It was called The 2nd Coming of the Dark Lord.
Me: This is the book. It's called The 2nd Coming of The Dark Lord. It has a powerful prophecy in it that centers around both me and Harry Potter.
Hermione Granger: What kind of prophecy?
Me: It centers around me and Harry and that we were chosen to destroy Voldemort. Here's how it goes. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies. A mighty warrior born as the tenth month comes to the middle when Phoenix and Draco are seen in the stars will be chosen to defend the one from the Dark Lord. Through fire and lightning the Phoenix and Dragon will clash with the snake of evil and the Dark Lord and his followers will be consumed with light."
Harry Potter: That's very enigmatic.
Me: But I did figure it out. Harry Potter was born on July 31st, 1980 and Voldemort is the Dark Lord. He tried to kill Harry to stop the prophecy from happening. Voldemort marked him with a lightning bolt shaped scar in the middle of his forehead as you guys know. But that is no ordinary scar he has. That scar had a piece of Voldemort Soul inside it.
Everyone gasped in shock.
Hermione Granger: So when Voldemort killed Harry's parents, he was made into a Horcrux!
Me: Exactly. Horcruxes are made when a wizard commits the ultimate act of pure evil: Murder. It rips their soul apart.
Nico: That's right. There are 7 Horcruxes in all. They are Tom Riddle's Diary, Helga Hufflepuff's Cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, Salazar Slytherin's Locket, Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, Voldemort's pet snake Nagini and lastly Harry Potter himself.
Me: I shredded Tom Riddle's Diary and removed the Soul Fragment of Voldemort from Harry Potter.
Nico: That's right. Dr. Strange and Dr. Fate are searching for the other 5 Horcruxes as we speak and we're going to put them into the vault for safety.
Lincoln: Good.
Me: But the prophecy states that a warrior born in the tenth month is me. I was born on October 14th when the constellations of Draco the Dragon of the Northern Hemisphere and Phoenix the Firebird of the Southern Hemisphere were in the sky. Behold the marks.
I showed on the right side of my neck was a birthmark in the shape of the constellation of Phoenix the Firebird and on my right elbow was a birthmark in the shape of the constellation of Draco the Dragon.
They gasped when they saw them.
Nico: He is the chosen one.
Albus Dumbledore: (British Accent) J.D. and Harry are the chosen ones.
Crabbe: (British Accent) He will die a horrible death.
Me: Go fuck yourself Crabbe and don't even think about trying to attack me. Or else.
Goyle: (British Accent) Then you will die with Harry.
Me: You first.
We went to lunch.
Qin: Oh man. I got to meet up with Maria. We're going to the moon to meet Ra's and find Della Duck.
Me: Okay.
Qin left.
Qin, Maria, Blitzwing and Lana were visiting the Moon Prison. They were right in front of the cell of Ra's Al Ghul.
Maria: Ra's, there are 2 reasons we're visiting you today. The first is that we'd like to recruit you in the battle against Thanos.
Ra's Al Ghul: The Mad Titan? Well, I suppose that one last fight wouldn't do any harm for me.
Blitzwing: You won't regret it. The second reason is that we'd like to know if you've seen a female talking duck on the Moon from your cell.
Ra's Al Ghul: As a matter of fact, yes I have. She was walking around on the moon without a space helmet and she was chewing some kind of gum.
Maria: That's Della Duck!
Donald: My sister is here!
Maria: We got to find her and bring her in here.
Stacy: Can any of us breathe on the moon and save Della?
Maria: I can. I'll head out to find her.
Qin: Okay.
Maria headed out and she found her and brought her back into the Moon Prison.
Della: Ah good to breathe air and feel our gravity again.
Maria: I brought you in. I'm Maria Rockell, 2nd in Command of Team Loud Phoenix Storm's Redemption Squad.
Della: Pleasure.
Donald Duck: Della!
Della: Donald, I missed you so much!
They hugged.
Huey, Dewey, Louie, Scrooge McDuck and Donald were reunited with her after so long. But we saw that she lost her leg and it was replaced with a prosthetic leg. She lost it in the crash.
Back at the estate, I was playing Wizards Chess with Ron. I was thinking about where to move. I was the white pieces and Ron was the red pieces.
Me: Hmm. Knight to E-5.
The white knight piece moved to said space.
Laney was watching us.
Laney: That is awesome.
Me: Just like in the movies and books.
Ron Weasley: Indeed. Queen to E-5.
Ron's queen moved to my knight and it came alive and bashed him to pieces with her seat.
Me: This is so cool.
Laney: It sure is.
Ron Weasley: That's Wizards Chess.
Nico: Got the mail guys.
Me: What did we get?
Nico: Lets see.
Nico sorted the mail and he found an awesome newspaper. It was the Daily Prophet.
The Daily Prophet is a wizarding newspaper based in London, England. It is the primary source of news for British and Irish wizards. The current editor is Barnabas Cuffe, who works in the main office in Diagon Alley.
Because of its ability to influence the minds of many in the British (and probably Irish) wizarding community, the paper has been known to have its content slanted intentionally by the Ministry of Magic (which it has strong ties with) into telling the Ministry's preferred version of events. Unfortunately, the Prophet does not seem to have a lot of journalistic integrity, it has been known to be more concerned about sales than about factual accuracy.
The paper features a morning and evening edition, the latter of which is called the Evening Prophet. The weekend edition is called the Sunday Prophet. Additional news bulletins can be delivered quickly when important, newsworthy events occur. As news changes, an edition may magically change, too, over the course of the day, probably by means of a Protean Charm.
There is only one wizarding newspaper in Britain, discounting such small circulation publications such as The Quibbler. The Daily Prophet, whose headquarters are in Diagon Alley, is delivered by owl on a daily basis to nearly every wizarding household in Britain. Payment is effected by placing coins in the pouch tied to the paper-owl's leg. Occasionally (when something particularly interesting or exciting happens, such as the illegal flight of a Ford Anglia the length of Britain) an Evening Prophet edition will be rushed out. Subscriptions cost 1 Knut. This paper is delivered to professors and a few students at Hogwarts in the mornings, when the owl post arrives.
The Prophet is not the only publication in the Wizarding World, but it is almost certainly the most widely read. Stories in the Prophet often colour public opinion to a great amount. When the Prophet published stories deriding Harry Potter and Dumbledore, most people in the Wizarding World believed what they read. The most widely read alternative newspaper in the wizarding world is The Quibbler.
Journalistic Integrity
While the Daily Prophet has been known to print facts, it has also had a somewhat negative reputation for being incredibly biassed, corrupt, and deceptive. It is clear that, as there is strong government control of the newspaper, the facts can be misleading, if not outright fabrications, and that certain means of gathering information appear to be somewhat unethical. Government control of the Ministry is shown in the way that the Daily Prophet appears to pressure the government and go around official sources, and several people in Harry's circles feel that the Ministry of Magic "leans heavily" on Prophet.
In other instances, the Daily Prophet has misleading journalism — information that, while accurate in fact, leads readers to the wrong conclusion. There are also occasions when the newspaper is seen to contain inaccurate or libellous content. It appears that there is little regard for accuracy in any form and there are no consequences or accountability for poor journalistic practises.
The Daily Prophet's unethical means of gathering information are most accurately seen with Rita Skeeter, a prominent but corrupt journalist who wrote with a complete disregard for accuracy, truthfulness and objectivity — often conducting interviews with a Quick Quotes Quill, a magical quill that writes automatically as the subject speaks. However, the quill does not record verbatim what the subject says. Instead, it takes a subject's words and creates sensational and inaccurate tales that bear little resemblance to actual events. In addition, Skeeter illegally turned herself into a beetle to spy on people and get personal information from them without being seen.
Description
The Daily Prophet reports on everything going on the wizarding world (albeit not always in an unbiased way). In addition to news, the Daily Prophet includes a Magizoology column is run every Wednesday and a Quidditch section which features a boxed table of all the teams in the league, ranked by total number points scored, with forthcoming matches listed side by side. This section also includes articles on recent matches and other items of interest.
Wizardkind tends not to require alternative political flavours in its news coverage (which is not to say, however, that the Prophet does not have a political agenda). As a small, outsider and occasionally beleaguered community, wizards are, by and large, interested in the same kinds of stories: whether anyone is in trouble for infractions of the International Statute of Secrecy, what irritating legislation the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office has come up with now, and when the next Celestina Warbeck/Weird Sisters concert will take place.
There is also an editorial section of the newspaper, where only few get responses, and are usually brief. The best letter is under the headline STAR LETTER. A classified advertisements section is in the newspaper, with subheadings of JOBS, FOR SALE, and LONELY HEARTS. Birth and death notices also appear on this page. The advice section of the Prophet has a variety of experts in differing fields answer readers' questions. Some topics covered in the past have been Medical Queries, Emotional Dilemmas, Legal Problems, and everyday magical problems. Sometimes, the Daily Prophet has a "fiendishly difficult" crossword puzzle, and usually has a Magic lottery and a Magical Symbols Game.
The Daily Prophet also allows advertisements in their newspaper by businesses. some of these ads include: Nimbus brooms, clothing, Floo Powder accelerator, and O.W.L. crammers. The Ministry also uses ad space in the Prophet. The Ministry posts various warnings, classes on advanced Defensive spells, and spells that can be used to safeguard your home.
Evening Prophet
The Evening Prophet was the name of the evening edition of the Daily Prophet. Presumably, this edition included different features, compared to the morning edition or Sunday Prophet.
Evening editions that are can apparently be delivered very quickly after an important story breaks. A witch or wizard anywhere in Britain can have a copy in hand within a short time of publication. For example, when Ron Weasley and Harry Potter were spotted by Muggles flying the Ford Anglia, Snape had a copy of the hogwarts, story continued in his hand after they arrived. One of the Muggles who spotted them was in Peebles, which is relatively close to Hogwarts, so the story couldn't have been more than an hour old at that point.
Sunday Prophet
The Sunday Prophet is the name of the weekend edition of the Daily Prophet. Presumably, this edition includes different features, compared to the daily edition.
History
The Daily Prophet has been producing papers since 1743, the year when it famously described Gideon Flatworthy, head of an extremist anti-Muggle group, as "less a wizard, more a lazy walrus-like object who lies all day on a rather smelly cushion, and expects people to admire him for it".
Early 20th Century
The Daily Prophet covered the rise of Gellert Grindelwalds rise to power, questioning if then Minister for Magic Hector "Flamboyant" Fawley was doing enough and detailing the increased security measures taken at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Ministry of Magic's denial
During the Ministry's campaign to discredit and slander Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, the Prophet was an instrumental tool of the Ministry in their goal to convince the public that Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter were fear-mongering or simply mad. The Ministry of Magic was responsible for the unfair journalism of that summer as Cornelius Fudge strove to discredit Dumbledore's account of the return of Lord Voldemort.
Hermione Granger subscribed to the paper to keep on top of the Ministry's agenda and see what the enemy was saying. Some people, such as Augusta Longbottom, cancelled their subscriptions due to believing in Dumbledore and Harry over the Ministry. Originally, Harry kept getting his subscription only to skim through the front page for information about Voldemort's movements, as he was unaware of the Ministry's denial. Because of this he missed out on the slip-ins of him and Dumbledore being antagonised. Upon realising what was happening, Harry ceased his subscription.
After Fudge was forced to admit that Voldemort had returned, the Prophet changed its stance overnight, calling Harry "a lone voice of truth". The newspaper even bought, from The Quibbler, Harry's interview on Voldemort's return and claimed it to be exclusive.
Second Wizarding War
Daily Prophet article during the Second Wizarding War announcing the terror brought on the Death Eaters
After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Ministry was forced to accept the Rebirth of Lord Voldemort, the Daily Prophet reported on all the tragedy and terror affecting wizards and Muggles alike. This included reporting the murder of Amelia Bones and Emmeline Vance, the incorrect arrest of Stan Shunpike, and the arrest of Mundungus Fletcher for impersonating an Inferius.
When the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, they also took over the Daily Prophet, and subsequently they stopped reporting deaths that Death Eaters were responsible for. They also printed biassed, bogus news such as articles on Muggle-borns stealing magic from true wizards. As such, many resistance members turned to other programmes for news, such as Potterwatch and The Quibbler.
When Kingsley Shacklebolt became Minister for Magic in 1998, the Daily Prophet was de-corrupted.

BRING BACK OUR BASKETS! (12 February 1883)
That was the cry heard from Quidditch players across the nation last night as it became clear that the Department of Magical Games and Sports had decided to burn the baskets used for centuries for goalscoring in Quidditch.
"We're not burning them, don't exaggerate," said an irritable-looking Departmental representative last night when asked to comment. "Baskets, as you may have noticed, come in different sizes. We have found it impossible to standardise basket size so as to make goalposts throughout Britain equal. Surely you can see it's a matter of fairness. I mean, there's a team up near Barnton, they've got these minuscule little baskets attached to the opposing team's posts, you couldn't get a grape in them. And up their own end they've got these great wicker caves swinging around. It's not on. We've settled on a fixed hoop size and that's it. Everything nice and fair."
At this point, the Departmental representative was forced to retreat under a hail of baskets thrown by the angry demonstrators assembled in the hall. Although the ensuing riot was later blamed on goblin agitators, there can be no doubt that Quidditch fans across Britain are tonight mourning the end of the game as we know it.
" 'T won't be t' same wi'out baskets," said one apple-cheeked old wizard sadly. "I remember when I were a lad, we used to set fire to 'em for a laugh during t' match. You can't do that with goal hoops. 'Alf t' fun's gone."
1884
OUR CHASERS AREN'T CHEATING! (22 June 1884)
That was the stunned reaction of Quidditch fans across Britain last night when the so-called "Stooging Penalty" was announced by the Department of Magical Games and Sports last night.
"Instances of stooging have been on the increase," said a harassed-looking Departmental representative last night. "We feel that this new rule will eliminate the severe Keeper injuries we have been seeing only too often. From now on, one Chaser will attempt to beat the Keeper, as opposed to three Chasers beating the Keeper up. Everything will be much cleaner and fairer."
At this point the Departmental representative was forced to retreat as the angry crowd started to bombard him with Quaffles. Wizards from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement arrived to disperse the crowd, who were threatening to stooge the Minister of Magic himself.
One freckle-faced six-year-old left the hall in tears.
"I loved stooging," he sobbed to the Daily Prophet. "Me and me dad like watching them Keepers flattened. I don't want to go to Quidditch no more."

GRINGOTTS BREAK-IN LATEST (6 September 1991)
Investigations continue into the break-in at Gringotts on 31 July, widely believed to be the work of Dark wizards or witches unknown. Gringotts goblins today insisted that nothing had been taken. The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied the same day. "But we're not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what's good for you," said a Gringotts spokesgoblin this afternoon.
BREAK-IN AT GRINGOTTS: Gringotts' Security Breached (12 September 1991)
BY ANDY SMUDGLEY
Believed to be the work of Dark wizards or witches unknown, Gringotts goblins, while acknowledging the breach, insist nothing was taken. The vault in question had, in fact, been emptied the very same day. "But we're not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what's good for you", said a Gringotts spokesgoblin this afternoon. Gringotts now need to readdress their security system. Goblin security specialists are combing the land for a better breed of security dragon to replace the now deemed useless existing ones. They are even going as far as examining Muggle security systems. Gringotts need to get another security system in place before any more breaches occur. Wizards, witches all over the country are scratching their heads wondering how safe their money is in the so-called safest wizard bank. Head goblins are urging the wizarding community for calm.
QUEEN'S CORGI TURNS INTO HAMSTER (12 September 1991)
Including articles: BREAK-IN AT GRINGOTTS: Gringotts' Security Breached, QUEEN'S CORGI TURNS INTO HAMSTER, OLDEST WIZARD IS 755, and UNFORTUNATE BROOM FLYER HIT BY MUGGLE HELICOPTER
The Muggles were left scratching their heads today as their Queen's corgi changed into a hamster. Luckily enough for us they just thought that the corgi had been stolen and a hamster put in it's place as a cruel joke. There if now a full scale hunt on for the real corgi which of course will not be found. The Ministry of Magic are looking into this matter. The Improper Use of Magic Office have a few suspect they are questioning about the incident. A motive for the attack if not known but further attacks on public Muggle figures would not help us one bit. The International Federation of Warlocks is also meeting to discuss the incident. The Daily Prophet will keep you up to date on further news on that story tomorrow.

ENQUIRY AT THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC (25 December 1992)
Arthur Weasley, Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, was today fined fifty Galleons for bewitching a Muggle car.
Mr Lucius Malfoy, a governor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the enchanted car crashed earlier this year, called today for Mr Weasley's resignation. "Weasley has brought the Ministry into disrepute," Mr Malfoy told our reporter. "He is clearly unfit to draw up our laws and his ridiculous Muggle Protection Act should be scrapped immediately."
Mr Weasley was unavailable for comment, although his wife told reporters to clear off or she'd set the family ghoul on them.

MINISTRY OF MAGIC EMPLOYEE SCOOPS GRAND PRIZE (31 July, 1993)
Arthur Weasley, Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office at the Ministry of Magic, has won the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw. A delighted Mr Weasley told the Daily Prophet, "We will be spending the gold on a summer holiday in Egypt, where our eldest son, Bill, works as a Curse Breaker for Gringotts Wizarding Bank." The Weasley family will be spending a month in Egypt, returning for the start of the new school year at Hogwarts, which five of the Weasley children currently attend.
BLACK STILL AT LARGE (6 August 1993)
Black still at Large
Sirius Black, possibly the most infamous prisoner ever to be held in Azkaban fortress, is still eluding capture, the Ministry of Magic confirmed today. "We are doing all we can to recapture Black," said the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, this morning, "and we beg the magical community to remain calm." Fudge has been criticised by some members of the International Confederation of Wizards for informing the Muggle Prime Minister of the crisis. "Well, really, I had to, don't you know," said an irritable Fudge. "Black is mad. He's a danger to anyone who crosses him, magic or Muggle. I have the Prime Minister's assurance that he will not breathe a word of Black's true identity to anyone. And let's face it - who'd believe him if he did?" While Muggles have been told that Black is carrying a gun (a kind of metal wand that Muggles use to kill each other), the magical community lives in fear of a massacre like that of twelve years ago, when Black murdered thirteen people with a single curse.
SIRIUS BLACK SIGHTED (9 September 1993)
Left column: SIRIUS BLACK SIGHTED; right column: AZKABAN SECURITY ENQUIRY: MINISTER UNDER PRESSURE
BY E. LIMUS
Sirius Black, the most infamous prisoner — from Azkaban, — has been sighted in Dufftown by an astute Muggle. The Muggles think that he is just an ordinary criminal, they don't have a clue how dangerous, powerful and vindictive Black can be.
The female Muggle communicated, via a machine called Telephone, the Muggle Crime Watchers Hotline, and immediately the Ministry of Magic Witch Watchers was informed. Minister Cornelius Fudge was taken by surprise and sent hundreds of Witch Watcher Special Forces to the Village, but when they arrived there he was gone. Minister was absolutely disappointed to lose Sirius Black. The situation got worse when hundreds of Dementors turned up making the small Dufftown population quiver in panic. It took more than 4 hours for the Special Force to tranquillize what was a great shock for those.
Sirius Black, escaped from Azkaban Prison, […] wizard community very apprensive and maybe in panic, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has already asked to all the Wizards to be really careful and act with caution and to not attempt to use magic against him. The Minister only asks to notify immediately by owl the Ministry of Magic or the Witch Watchers Sirius Black Hot.
AZKABAN SECURITY ENQUIRY: MINISTER UNDER PRESSURE (9 September 1993)
BY A. FENETRE
Azkaban Security Officials and Very Important Wizards has been putting the Minister under pressure. They want Sirius Black recaptured as soon as possible, this is making the Minister very preoccupied and worried. Cornelius said to The Daily Prophet that is doing his best and has been appealing to the Wizard community to help and also has been […]
[…] all support to this issue, and we also appeal to our community to be attentive and alert, and especially very vigilant. And is very important to remember. Do Not Attempt to use Magic against him. He is really threatening and he is full of anger. So please be extremely carefull and avoid to be out til late hours in the evening and try to avoid desert places.

FURTHER MISTAKES AT THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC (2 September, 1994)

—Draco Malfoy reading this article aloud.

I suppose I get my strength from my parents. I know they'd be very proud of me if they could see me now...Yes, sometimes at night I still cry about them, I'm not ashamed to admit it...I know nothing will hurt me during the tournament, because they're watching over me..." Harry has at last found love at Hogwarts. His close friend, Colin Creevey, says that Harry is rarely seen out of the company of one Hermione Granger, a stunningly pretty Muggle-born girl who, like Harry, is one of the top students in the school.
DUMBLEDORE'S GIANT MISTAKE
Albus Dumbledore, eccentric Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has never been afraid to make controversial staff appointments, writes Rita Skeeter, Special Correspondent. In September of this year, he hired Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, the notoriously jinx-happy ex-Auror, to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, a decision that caused many raised eyebrows at the Ministry of Magic, given Moody's well-known habit of attacking anybody who makes a sudden movement in his presence. Mad-Eye Moody, however, looks responsible and kindly when set beside the part-human Dumbledore employs to teach Care of Magical Creatures. Rubeus Hagrid, who admits to being expelled from Hogwarts in his third year, has enjoyed the position of Gamekeeper at the school ever since, a job secured for him by Dumbledore. Last year, however, Hagrid used his mysterious influence over the headmaster to secure the additional post of Care of Magical Creatures teacher, over the heads of many better-qualified candidates. An alarming large and ferocious-looking man, Hagrid has been using his new-found authority to terrify the students in his care with a succession of horrific creatures. While Dumbledore turns a blind eye, Hagrid has maimed several pupils during a series of lessons that many admit to being "very frightening." "I was attacked by a hippogriff, and my friend Vincent Crabbe got a bad bite off a flobberworm," says Draco Malfoy, a fourth year student. "We all hate Hagrid, but we're just too scared to say anything." Hagrid has no intention of ceasing his campaign of intimidation, however.
In conversation with a Daily Prophet reporter last month, he admitted breeding creatures he has dubbed "Blast-Ended Skrewts," highly dangerous crosses between manticores and fire crabs. The creation of new breeds of magical creature is, of course, an activity usually closely observed by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Hagrid, however, considers himself to be above such petty restrictions. "I was just having some fun," he says, before hastily changing the subject. As if this were not enough, the Daily Prophet has now unearthed evidence that Hagrid is not - as he has always pretended - a pure-blood wizard. He is not, in fact, even pure human. His mother, we can exclusively reveal, is none other than the giantess Fridwulfa, whose whereabouts are currently unknown. Bloodthirsty and brutal, the giants brought themselves to the point of extinction by warring amongst themselves during the last century. The handful that remained joined the ranks of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and were responsible for some of the worst mass Muggle killings of his reign of terror. While many of the giants who served He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named were killed by Aurors working against the Dark Side, Fridwulfa was not among them. It is possible she escaped to one of the giant communities still existing in foreign mountain ranges. If his antics during Care of Magical Creatures lessons are any guide, however, Fridwulfa's son appears to have inherited her brutal nature. In a bizarre twist, Hagrid is reputed to have developed a close friendship with the boy who brought around You-Know-Who's fall from power - thereby driving Hagrid's own mother, like the rest of You-Know-Who's supporters, into hiding. Perhaps Harry Potter is unaware of this unpleasant truth about his large friend - but Albus Dumbledore surely has a duty to ensure that Harry Potter, along with his fellow students, is warned about the dangers of associating with half-giants.

Podmore was arrested by Ministry of Magic watchwizard Eric Munch, who found him attempting to force his way through a top-security door at one o'clock in the morning. Podmore, who refused to speak in his own defence, was convicted on both charges and sentence to six months in Azkaban.
MINISTRY SEEKS EDUCATIONAL REFORM
DOLORES UMBRIDGE APPOINTED FIRST-EVER "HIGH INQUISITOR
In a surprise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "The Minister for Magic has been growing uneasy about goings-on at Hogwarts for some time" said Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic Percy Weasley. "He is now responding to concerns voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction they do not approve."
This is not the first time in recent weeks Fudge has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. As recently as 30 August Educational Decree Twenty-two was passed, to ensure that, in the event of the current headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person.
"That's how Dolores Umbridge came to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts," said Weasley last night. "Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, so the Minister put in Umbridge and of course, she's been an immediate success, totally revolutionising the teaching of Defence Against the Dark Arts and providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what's really happening at Hogwarts."It is this last function that the Ministry has now formalised with the passing of Educational Decree Twenty-three, which creates the new position of Hogwarts High Inquisitor.
"This is an exciting new phase in the Minister's plan to get to grips with what some are calling the falling standards at Hogwarts", said Weasley. "The Inquisitor will have powers to inspect her fellow educators and make sure that they are coming up to scratch. Professor Umbridge has been offered this position in addition to her own teaching post, and we are delighted to say that she has accepted." The Ministry's new moves have received enthusiastic support from parents of students at Hogwarts.
"I feel much easier in my mind now that I know that Dumbledore is being subjected to fair and objective evaluation," said Lucius Malfoy, 41, speaking from his Wiltshire mansion last night. "Many of us with our children's best interests at heart have been concerned about some of Dumbledore's eccentric decisions in the last few years and will be glad to know that the Ministry is keeping an eye on the situation." Among those 'eccentric decisions' are undoubtedly the controversial staff appointments previously described in this newspaper, which have included the hiring of werewolf Remus Lupin, half-giant Rubeus Hagrid and delusional ex-Auror 'Mad-Eye' Moody.
Rumours abound, of course, that Albus Dumbledore, once Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, is not longer up to the task of managing the prestigious school of Hogwarts. "I think the appointment of the Inquisitor is a first step toward ensuring that Hogwarts has a headmaster in whom we can all repose confidence" said a Ministry insider last night." Wizengamot elders Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden have resigned in protest at the introduction of the post of Inquisitor to Hogwarts.
"Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office", said Madam Marchbanks. "This is a further disgusting attempt to discredit Albus Dumbledore." (For a full account of Madam Marchbanks' alleged links to subversive goblin groups, turn to page 17).
1996
MASS BREAKOUT FROM AZKABAN
"We have confirmed that ten high-security prisoners, in the early hours of yesterday evening, did escape. And of course, the Muggle Prime Minister has been alerted to the danger. We strongly suspect that the breakout was engineered by a man with personal experience in escaping from Azkaban; notorious mass murderer Sirius Black, cousin of the escapee Bellatrix Lestrange."
—Cornelius Fudge's statement.
The Ministry of Magic announced late last night that there has been a mass breakout from Azkaban. Speaking to reporters in his private office, Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, confirmed that ten high-security prisoners escaped in the early hours of yesterday evening, and that he has already informed the Muggle Prime Minister of the dangerous nature of these individuals. "We find ourselves, most unfortunately, in the same position we were two and a half years ago when the murderer Sirius Black escaped," said Fudge last night. "Nor do we think the two breakouts are unrelated. An escape of this magnitude suggests outside help, and we must remember that Black, as the first person ever to break out of Azkaban, would be ideally placed to help others follow in his footsteps. We think it likely that these individuals, who include Black's cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, have rallied around Black as their leader. We are, however, doing all we can to round up the criminals and beg the magical community to remain alert and cautious. On no account should any of these individuals be approached."
TRAGIC DEMISE OF MINISTRY OF MAGIC WORKER
St Mungo's Hospital promised a full inquiry last night after Ministry of Magic worker Broderick Bode, 49, was discovered dead in his bed, strangled by a potted-plant. Healers called to the scene were unable to revive Mr Bode, who had been injured in a workplace accident some weeks prior to his death. Healer Miriam Strout, who was in charge of Mr Bode's ward at the time of the incident, has been suspended on full pay and was unavailable for comment yesterday, but a spokeswizard for the hospital said in a statement, "St Mungo's deeply regrets the death of Mr Bode, whose health was improving steadily prior to this tragic accident. We have strict guidelines on the decorations permitted on our wards but it appears that Healer Strout, busy over the Christmas period, overlooked the dangers of the plant on Mr Bode's bedside table. As his speech and mobility improved, Healer Strout encouraged Mr Bode to look after the plant himself, unaware that it was not an innocent Flitterbloom, but a cutting of Devil's Snare, which, when touched by the convalescent Mr Bode, throttled him instantly. St Mungo's is as yet unable to account for the presence of the plant on the ward and asks any witch or wizard with information to come forward."
HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED RETURNS (19 June, 1996)
In a brief statement Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be Named has returned to this country and is active once more. "It is with great regret that I must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who I mean - is alive and among us again," said Fudge, looking tired and flustered as he addressed reporters. "It is with almost equal regret that we report the mass revolt of the Dementors of Azkaban, who have shown themselves averse to continuing in the Ministry's employ. We believe that the dementors are currently taking direction from Lord - Thingy. We urge the magical population to remain vigilant. The Ministry is currently publishing guides to elementary home and personal defence that will be delivered free to all wizarding homes within the coming month."
The Minister's statement was met with dismay and alarm from the wizarding community, which as recently as last Wednesday was receiving Ministry assurances that there was "no truth whatsoever in these persistent rumours that You-Know-Who is operating amongst us once more." Details of the events that led to the Ministry turnaround are still hazy, though it is believed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and a select band of followers (known as Death Eaters) gained entry to the Ministry of Magic itself on Thursday evening. Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, reinstated member of the International Confederation of Wizards and reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, was unavailable for comment last night. He has insisted for a year that You-Know-Who was not dead, as was widely hoped and believed, but recruiting followers once more for a fresh attempt to seize power. Meanwhile the Boy Who Lived

HARRY POTTER: THE CHOSEN ONE?
Rumours continue to fly about the mysterious recent disturbance at the Ministry of Magic, during which He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was sighted once more. "We're not allowed to talk about it, don't ask me anything," said one agitated Obliviator, who refused to give his name as he left the Ministry last night. Nevertheless, highly placed sources within the Ministry have confirmed that the disturbance centred on the fabled Hall of Prophecy. Though Ministry spokes wizards have hitherto refused even to confirm the existence of such a place, a growing number of the Wizarding community believe that the Death Eaters now serving sentences in Azkaban for trespass and attempted theft were attempting to steal a prophecy. The nature of that prophecy is unknown, although speculation is rife that it concerns Harry Potter, the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse, and who is also known to have been at the Ministry on the night in question. Some are going so far as to call Potter "the Chosen One," believing that the prophecy names him as the only one who will be able to rid us of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. The current whereabouts of the prophecy, if it exists, are unknown, although (ctd. page 2, column 5).
SCRIMGEOUR SUCCEEDS FUDGE
Rufus Scrimgeour, previously Head of the Auror office in the Departmentof Magical Law Enforcement, has succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister of Magic. The appointment has largely been greeted with enthusiasm by the Wizarding community, though rumours of a rift between the new Minister and Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, surfaced within hours of Scrimgeour taking office. Scrimgeour's representatives admitted that he had met with Dumbledore at once upon taking possession of the top job, but refused to comment on the topics under discussion. Albus Dumbledore is known to (ctd. page 3, column 2).
MINISTRY GUARANTEES STUDENTS' SAFETY
Newly appointed Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, spoke today of the tough new measures taken by his Ministry to ensure the safety of students returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this autumn. "For obvious reasons, the Ministry will not be going into detail about its stringent new security plans," said the Minister, although an insider confirmed that measures include defensive spells and charms, a complex array of countercurses, and a small task force of Aurors dedicated solely to the protection of Hogwarts School. Most seem reassured by the new Minister's tough stand on student safety. Said Mrs Augusta Longbottom, "My grandson, Neville — a good friend of Harry Potter's, incidentally, who fought the Death Eaters alongside him at the Ministry in June and —

Article in defence of Muggle-borns (July, 1997)
BY CHARITY BURBAGE
"Not content with corrupting and polluting the minds of Wizarding children, last week Professor Burbage wrote an impassioned defence of Mudbloods in the Daily Prophet. Wizards, she says, must accept these thieves of their knowledge and magic. The dwindling of the pure-bloods is, says Professor Burbage, a most desirable circumstance...

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE REMEMBERED (July, 1997)
BY ELPHIAS DOGE
Albus Dumbledore Remembered, by Elphias Doge
I met Albus Dumbledore at the age of eleven, on our first day at Hogwarts. Our mutual attraction was undoubtedly due to the fact that we both felt ourselves to be outsiders. I had contracted Dragon Pox shortly before arriving at school, and while I was no longer contagious, my pockmarked visage and greenish hue did not encourage many to approach me. For his part, Albus had arrived at Hogwarts under the burden of unwanted notoriety. Scarcely a year previously, his father, Percival, had been convicted of a savage and well-publicised attack upon three young Muggles.
Albus never attempted to deny that his father (who was to die in Azkaban) had committed this crime; on the contrary, when I plucked up enough courage to ask him, he assured me that he knew his father to be guilty. Beyond that, Dumbledore refused to speak of the sad business, though many attempted to make him do so. Some, indeed, were disposed to praise his father's action and assumed that Albus, too, was a Muggle-hater. They could not have been more mistaken: as anybody who knew Albus would attest, he never revealed the remotest anti-Muggle tendency. Indeed, his determined support for Muggle rights gained him many enemies in subsequent years.
In a matter of months, however, Albus's own fame had begun to eclipse that of his father. By the end of his first year, he would never again be known as the son of a Muggle-hater, but as nothing more or less than the most brilliant student ever seen at the school. Those of us who were privileged to be his friends benefited from his example, not to mention his help and encouragement, with which he was always generous. He confessed to me later in life that he knew even then his greatest pleasure lay in teaching.
He not only won every prize of note that the school offered, he was soon in regular correspondence with the most notable magical names of the day, including Nicolas Flamel, the celebrated alchemist, Bathilda Bagshot, the noted historian, and Adalbert Waffling, the magical theoretician. Several of his papers found their way into learned publications such as Transfiguration Today, Challenges in Charming and The Practical Potioneer. Dumbledore's future career seemed likely to be meteoric, and the only question that remained was when he would become Minister for Magic. Though it was often predicated in later years that he was on the point of taking the job, however, he never had ministerial ambitions.
Three years after we had started at Hogwarts, Albus's brother, Aberforth, arrived at school. They were not alike; Aberforth was never bookish and, unlike Albus, preferred to settle arguments by duelling rather than through reasoned discussion. However, it is quite wrong to suggest, as some have, that the brothers were not friends. They rubbed along as comfortably as two such different boys could do. In fairness to Aberforth, it must be admitted that living in Albus's shadow cannot have been an altogether comfortable experience. Being continually outshone was an occupational hazard of being his friend and cannot have been any more pleasurable as a brother.
When Albus and I left Hogwarts, we intended to take the then traditional tour of the world together, visiting and observing foreign wizards, before pursuing our separate careers. However, tragedy intervened. On the very eve of our trip, Albus's mother Kendra died, leaving Albus the head, and sole breadwinner, of the family. I postponed my departure long enough to pay my respects at Kendra's funeral, then left for what was now to be a solitary journey. With a younger brother and sister to care for, and little gold left to them, there could no longer be any question of Albus accompanying me. That was the period of our lives when we had least contact. I wrote to Albus, describing, perhaps insensitively, the wonders of my journey from narrow escapes from chimaeras in Greece to the experiments of the Egyptian alchemists. His letters told me little of his day-to-day life, which I guessed to be frustratingly dull for such a brilliant wizard. Immersed in my own experiences, it was with horror that I heard, towards the end of my year's travels, that yet another tragedy had struck the Dumbledores: the death of his sister, Ariana.
Though Ariana had been in poor health for a long time, the blow, coming so soon after the loss of their mother, had a profound effect on both of her brothers. All those closest to Albus - and I count myself one of that lucky number - agree that Ariana's death and Albus's feeling of personal responsibility for it (though, of course, he was guiltless) left their mark upon him forever more.
I returned home to find a young man who had experienced a much older person's suffering. Albus was more reserved than before, and much less light-hearted. To add to his misery, the loss of Ariana had led, not to a renewed closeness between Albus and Aberforth, but to an estrangement. (In time this would lift-in later years they re-established, if not a close relationship, then certainly a cordial one.) However, he rarely spoke of his parents or of Ariana from then on, and his friends learned no to mention them.
Other quills will describe the triumphs of the following years. Dumbledore's innumerable contributions to the store of wizarding knowledge, including his discovery of the twelve uses of dragon blood, will benefit generations to come, as will the wisdom he displayed in the many judgements he made while Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. They say, still, that no wizard duel ever matched that between Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald in 1945. Those who witnessed it have written of the terror and the awe they felt as they watched these two extraordinary wizards do battle. Dumbledore's triumph, and its consequences for the wizarding world, are considered a turning point in magical history to match the introduction of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy or the downfall of You-Know-Who.
Albus Dumbledore was never proud or vain; he could find something to value in anyone, however apparently insignificant or wretched, and I believe that his early losses endowed him with great humanity and sympathy. I shall miss his friendship more than I can say, but my loss is as nothing compared to the wizarding world's. That he was the most inspiring and the best loved of all Hogwarts headmasters cannot be in question. He died as he lived: working always for the greater good and, to his last hour, as willing to stretch out a hand to a small boy with Dragon Pox as he was on the day that I met him.
DUMBLEDORE – THE TRUTH AT LAST? (27 July 1997)
The front page of the Daily Prophet, bearing news about Rita Skeeter's upcoming book about Albus Dumbledore
Coming next week, the shocking story of the flawed genius considered by many to be the greatest wizard of his generation. Striping away the popular image of serene, silver-bearded wisdom, Rita Skeeter reveals the disturbed childhood, the lawless youth, the lifelong feuds, and the guilty secrets that Dumbledore carried to his grave: WHY was the man tipped to be the Minister for Magic content to remain a mere headmaster? WHAT was the real purpose of the secret organisation known as the Order of the Phoenix? HOW did Dumbledore really meet his end?
The answers to these and many more questions are explored in the explosive new biography, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, by Rita Skeeter, exclusively interviewed by Betty Braithwaite, page 13, inside.
BY BETTY BRAITHWAITE
In person, Rita Skeeter is much warmer and softer than her famously ferocious quill-portraits might suggest. Greeting me in the hallway of her cosy home, she leads me straight into the kitchen for a cup of tea, a slice of pound cake and, it goes without saying, a steaming vat of freshest gossip.
"Well, of course, Dumbledore is a biographer's dream," says Skeeter. "Such a long, full life. I'm sure my book will be the first of very, very many."
Skeeter was certainly quick off the mark. Her nine-hundred-page book was completed in a mere four weeks after Dumbledore's mysterious death in June. I ask her how she managed this superfast feat.
"Oh, when you've been a journalist as long as I have, working to a deadline is second nature. I knew that the Wizarding world was clamouring for the full story and I wanted to be the first to meet that need."
I mention the recent, widely publicised remarks of Elphias Doge, Special Advisor to the Wizengamot and longstanding friend of Albus Dumbledore's, that "Skeeter's book contains less fact than a Chocolate Frog card."
"Darling Dodgy! I remember interviewing him a few years back about merpeople rights, bless him. Completely gaga, seemed to think we were sitting at the bottom of Lake Windermere, kept telling me to watch out for trout."
And yet Elphias Doge's accusations of inaccuracy have been echoed in many places. Does Skeeter really feel that four short weeks have been enough to gain a full picture of Dumbledore's long and extraordinary life?
"Oh, my dear," beams Skeeter, rapping me affectionately across the knuckles, "you know as well as I do how much information can be generated by a fat bag of Galleons, a refusal to hear the word 'no,' and a nice sharp Quick-Quotes Quill! People were queuing to dish the dirt on Dumbledore anyway. Not everyone thought he was so wonderful, you know – he trod on an awful lot of important toes. But old Dodgy Doge can get off his high hippogriff, because I've had access to a source most journalists would swap their wands for, one who has never spoken in public before and who was close to Dumbledore during the most turbulent and disturbing phase of his youth."
The advance publicity for Skeeter's biography has certainly suggested that there will be shocks in store for those who believe Dumbledore to have led a blameless life. What were the biggest surprises she uncovered, I ask?
"Now, come off it. Betty, I'm not giving away all the highlights before anybody's bought the book!" laughs Skeeter. "But I can promise that anybody who still thinks Dumbledore was white as his beard is in for a rude awakening! Let's just say that nobody hearing him rage against You-Know-Who would have dreamed that he dabbled in the Dark Arts himself in his youth! And for a wizard who spent his later years pleading for tolerance, he wasn't exactly broad-minded when he was younger! Yes, Albus Dumbledore had an extremely murky past, not to mention that very fishy family, which he worked so hard to keep hushed up."
I ask whether Skeeter is referring to Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, whose conviction by the Wizengamot for misuse of magic caused a minor scandal fifteen years ago.
"Oh, Aberforth is just the tip of the dung heap," laughs Skeeter. "No, no, I'm talking about much worse than a brother with a fondness for fiddling about with goats, worse even than the Muggle-maiming father – Dumbledore couldn't keep either of them quiet anyway, they were both charged by the Wizengamot. No, it's the mother and the sister that intrigued me, and a little digging uncovered a positive nest of nastiness – but, as I say, you'll have to wait for chapters nine to twelve for full details. All I can say now is, it's no wonder Dumbledore never talked about how his nose got broken."
Family skeletons notwithstanding, does Skeeter deny the brilliance that led to Dumbledore's many magical discoveries?
"He had brains," she concedes, "although many now question whether he could really take full credit for all of his supposed achievements. As I reveal in chapter sixteen, Ivor Dillonsby claims he had already discovered eight uses of dragon's blood when Dumbledore 'borrowed' his papers."
But the importance of some of Dumbledore's achievements cannot, I venture, be denied. What of his famous defeat of Grindelwald?
"Oh, now, I'm glad you mentioned Grindelwald," says Skeeter with such a tantalising smile. "I'm afraid those who go dewy-eyed over Dumbledore's spectacular victory must brace themselves for a bombshell – or perhaps a Dungbomb. Very dirty business indeed. All I'll say is, don't be so sure that there really was a spectacular duel of legend. After they've read my book, people may be forced to conclude that Grindelwald simply conjured a white handkerchief from the end of his wand and came quietly!"
Skeeter refuses to give any more away on this intriguing subject, so we turn instead to the relationship that will undoubtedly fascinate her readers more than any other.
"Oh yes," says Skeeter, nodding briskly, "I devote an entire chapter to the whole Potter-Dumbledore relationship. It's been called unhealthy, even sinister. Again, your readers will have to buy my book for the whole story, but there is no question that Dumbledore took an unnatural interest in Potter from the word go. Whether that was really in the boy's best interests – well, we'll see. It's certainly an open secret that Potter has had a most troubled adolescence."
I ask whether Skeeter is still in touch with Harry Potter, whom she so famously interviewed last year: a breakthrough piece in which Potter spoke exclusively of his conviction that You-Know-Who had returned.
"Oh, yes, we've developed a closer bond," says Skeeter. "Poor Potter has few real friends, and we met at one of the most testing moments of his life – the Triwizard Tournament. I am probably one of the only people alive who can say that they know the real Harry Potter."
Which leads us neatly to the many rumours still circulating about Dumbledore's final hours. Does Skeeter believe that Potter was there when Dumbledore died?
"Well, I don't want to say too much – it's all in the book – but eyewitnesses inside Hogwarts castle saw Potter running away from the scene moments after Dumbledore fell, jumped, or was pushed. Potter later gave evidence against Severus Snape, a man against whom he has a notorious grudge. Is everything as it seems? That is for the Wizarding community to decide – once they've read my book."
On that intriguing note, I take my leave. There can be no doubt that Skeeter has quilled an instant bestseller. Dumbledore's legion of admirers, meanwhile, may well be trembling at what is soon to emerge about their hero.
WANTED FOR QUESTIONING ABOUT THE DEATH OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE (4 August 1997)
Front-page article accompanied by a huge photograph of Harry Potter, falsely implicating him in the murder of Albus Dumbledore.
MUGGLE-BORN REGISTER (4 August 1997)
The Ministry of Magic is undertaking a survey of so-called "Muggle-borns" to better understand how they came to possess magical secrets.
Recent research undertaken by the Department of Mysteries reveals that magic can only be passed from person to person when Wizards reproduce. Where no proven Wizarding ancestry exists, therefore, the so-called Muggle-born is likely to have obtained magical power by theft or force.
The Ministry is determined to root out such usurpers of magical power, and to this end has issued an invitation to every so-called Muggle-born to present themselves for interview by the newly appointed Muggle-born Registration Commission.
EXCLUSIVE EXTRACT FROM UPCOMING BIOGRAPHY OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE (4 August 1997)
BY RITA SKEETER
Proud and haughty, Kendra Dumbledore could not bear to remain in Mould-on-the-Wold after her husband Percival's well-publicized arrest and imprisonment in Azkaban. She therefore decided to uproot the family and relocate to Godric's Hollow, the village that was later to gain fame as the scene of Harry Potter's strange escape from You-Know-Who.
Like Mould-on-the-Wold, Godric's Hollow was home to a number of Wizarding families, but as Kendra knew none of them, she would be spared the curiosity about her husband's crime she had faced in her former village. By repeatedly rebuffing the friendly advances of her new Wizarding neighbours, she soon ensured that her family was left well alone.
"Slammed the door in my face when I went around to welcome her with a batch of homemade Cauldron Cakes," says Bathilda Bagshot. "The first year they were there I only ever saw the two boys. Wouldn't have known there was a daughter if I hadn't been picking Plangentines by moonlight the winter after they moved in, and saw Kendra leading Ariana out into the back garden. Walked her round the lawn once, keeping a firm grip on her, then took her back inside. Didn't know what to make of it."
It seems that Kendra thought the move to Godric's Hollow was the perfect opportunity to hide Ariana once and for all, something she had probably been planning for years. The timing was significant. Ariana was barely seven years old when she vanished from sight, and seven is the age by which most experts agree that magic will have revealed itself, if present. Nobody now alive remembers Ariana ever demonstrating even the slightest sign of magical ability. It seems clear, therefore, that Kendra made a decision to hide her daughter's existence rather than suffer the shame of admitting that she had produced a Squib. Moving away from the friends and neighbours who knew Ariana would, of course, make imprisoning her all the easier. The tiny number of people who henceforth knew of Ariana's existence could be counted upon to keep the secret, including her two brothers, who had deflected awkward questions with the answer their mother had taught them: "My sister is too frail for school."
Next week: Albus Dumbledore at Hogwarts – the Prizes and the Pretense.

I was reading the paper and it had awesome moving pictures. One picture showed the Dursley's being arrested and taken by the D.M.L.E.
Me: "Vernon & Petunia Dursley Arrested for murder of wizards!?"
Soundwave (reads Daily Prophet newspaper): The Dursleys are arrested?
Nico: Odd. We only planned to take care of them if they went after Harry again.
May: Yeah. I wonder who called the cops on them?
Manaphy: (she and Poliwag giggle) Who indeed?
William: (eyes widen) Wait a minute...
Poliwag (laughs): It was me and Manaphy! We called the cops on the Dursleys while you guys were rescuing Della.
Me: Why you slippery guys.
Manaphy: Yeah we read all about their history and we decided that enough was enough. We also found out that they hated all wizards and they even tried to kill a bunch of them by slashing their throats. They went on a ruthless killing spree.
Poliwag: So we turned them in.
Red Alert: (to Manaphy and Poliwag) Remind me never to get you two mad.
May: (hugs Manaphy) Manaphy, as a reward, I'll help you get ready for your upcoming date with Poromon when the time comes.
Nico: Same with you and Horsea, Poliwag.
They cheered.
Me: Good work you two. About time someone put those douchebags in their place. The Dursley's are the most hated Muggle Family ever. Lets head over to London and reunite Harry with his parents.
Nico: Good idea.
We were off to London.
LONDON, ENGLAND
We arrived at Godric's Hollow and it was a quaint little village that was once home to the founder of the Gryffindor House, Godric Gryffindor himself.
Me: Wow. So this is Godric's Hollow. It's beautiful.
Harry Potter: It is. This is where my mum and dad live.
Me: They are still here now. The Cosmic Cube brought everyone all killed by Voldemort back to life.
Lincoln: I remember that.
We found the Potter Cottage and it was a beautiful cottage.
Me: Here it is. Potter Cottage.
Harry Potter: My house.
Ginny Weasley: It's a lovely house.
Me: And it's also the sight where Voldemort murdered Harry's parents in cold blood. Voldemort is gonna return one day. And when he does we will kill him and make sure that he stays in Hell for good this time.
Lana: Yeah!
Rin: That guy was one fucked up monster.
Me: No kidding Rin.
We went up to the door and I knocked on it. James Potter opened it and he saw us.
Me: James Potter?
James Potter: (British Accent) Yes. You must be J.D. Knudson. We've heard so much about you and all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm. You resurrected us from the dead and killed Voldemort.
Me: I sure did. And I believe someone here wants to catch up with you.
We turned and we they saw Harry Potter for the first time in their lives since he was 15 months old.
James Potter: My son!
Harry Potter: Dad!
They hugged for the first time.
James Potter: My son!
We went in and we were given some tea by Lily Potter.
Lily Potter: (British Accent) Thank you all so much for looking after our son.
Me: You're Welcome Lily.
Lola: Good tea Mrs. Potter.
Lily Potter: Thank you Lola.
James Potter: So Voldemort killed everyone at Hogwarts?
Rin: That's right James. We killed him the first time.
Hermione Granger: Only 3 of us survived.
Ginny Weasley: Me, Hermione and Luna.
Me: Yeah. We killed Voldemort 3 times.
Rin went over what happened during the events of Ninja VS Wizard.
James Potter: I see.
Nico: J.D. killed Voldemort twice.
Me: That's right. But Voldemort is still out there. We strongly fear that he's going to come back and when he does, the entire world is going to be at risk.
James Potter: This is really bad.
Lily Potter: We have to stop him.
Me: Not yet. We have to wait for the right moment. When Voldemort sends his message that he has returned, we will be ready to strike. But until then, we have to be ready for when that time comes. Voldemort is a danger not just to wizards, but to every living thing on this planet. Voldemort is not going to enslave the Muggles like Grindelwald was going to do. He's going to kill them all. It's total Terroristic Genocide.
Lily Potter: That is ultimate evil.
James Potter: Why would he do all of this?
Lincoln: It's the work of Salazar Slytherin. He's a Magic Supremacist that has an undying burning hatred towards Muggles and Muggleborn Wizards.
Me: That's right. His Noble Work as Tom Riddle called it is one that's filled with murder and genocide.
Salazar Slytherin is the posthumous overarching antagonist of the Harry Potter book and film franchise. He is one of the four founders of Hogwarts who founded the House of Slytherin and the ancestor of Lord Voldemort. Estranged from his fellow founders, Slytherin's goal wasto purge Hogwarts from all Muggle-borns to keep the blood purity from Pure-blood wizards intact, directly influencing all the actions of Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters hundreds of years later.
History
Salazar Slytherin was one of the first recorded parselmouths (wizards that have the extremely rare ability to speak to snakes). When he founded Hogwarts with the other three founders, he chose students that show traits of resourcefulness, leadership, ambition, cunning, shrewdness and determination.
Salazar Slytherin wanted to be more selective of the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that the school should only accept pure blood witches and wizards, as he distrusted Muggle-borns, possibly of the great conflict between Wizardkind and Muggles. He tried to sway the other founders to agree with him but they refused, especially Godric Gryffindor. This caused Salazar Slytherin's friendship with Godric Gryffindor to break and resulted in him leaving the school.
Salazar Slytherin is known to have been the creator of the Chamber of Secrets. He created it in a hidden part of the school. He managed to breed and keep a Basilisk in the chamber. Slytherin planned to have his "heir" eventually find the chamber and unleash the Basilisk in order to kill all Muggle-born students in Hogwarts. The other founders did not know of this and were likely unaware that it was Slytherin's doing.
Future Hogwarts headmasters conducted multiple attempts to find Slytherin's chamber of secrets but all proved to be futile, leading the chamber to be dismissed as a mere myth.
It is unknown when or how he died, but it is known that his portrait is still at Hogwarts and his locket was made into a horcrux by Voldemort.
Many Harry Potter fans consider Salazar Slytherin to be a Dark Wizard because he wanted to purge Hogwarts of all the Muggle borns and because he is a parselmouth. Another reason could be that many Dark Wizards and Witches came from the house of Slytherin. Even though the author J.K. Rowling has not stated whether Salazar Slytherin is evil or not many of her fans believe that he is.
Slytherin's bloodline was passed down through the female line for generations. The Gaunt family, who practised inbreeding by marrying their own cousins, in order to keep their bloodline pure and their ability to speak Parseltounge, were the last known family to possess Salazar Slytherins blood. Among the last of the Gaunt's included Marvolo Gaunt and his two children Morfin and Merope. Merope fell in love with a Muggle named Tom Riddle and eloped with him, while her father and brother were in Azkaban. Eventually Tom and Merope's marriage resulted in the birth of Tom Marvolo Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort.
Riddle discovered that he was the heir of Slytherin during his time as a Hogwarts student, as such he found the chamber of secrets and initially followed Slytherin's plan, however after the Basilisk killed Myrtle Warren the school was threatened to be shut down, as such Riddle was forced to stop accessing the chamber and instead led one of his Horcruxes behind so that he could continue using the Basilisk through someone else in the future.
After Voldemort's death, everyone thought that Slytherin's bloodline had ended. More than 20 years after Voldemort's death, it's revealed that Voldemort had a daughter with Bellatrix Lestrange, her name was Delphini. As of 2020, Delphini is the last known survivor of the Slytherin bloodline.
Nico: He's ultimate evil.
Lily Potter was shocked and so was James Potter. Salazar Slytherin was a monster that hated all muggles and muggleborn wizards with a terrible vengeance and he wanted nothing more than to see the world burn.
Me: Voldemort will pay for his crimes. And we will avenge all of those that he has killed and send him off to Hell forever.
James Potter: We will gladly help you all. If it's possible we would like to teach at Hogwarts and help the kids.
Me: That's an excellent idea. First we have to tell you about Petunia.
We revealed everything and more and Lily and James were horrified and enraged. We went over to the trial of Vernon and Petunia Dursley and it was just getting into the sentencing.
Judge: (British Accent) Vernon Dursley and Petunia Dursley, as punishment for your horrible crimes against Lord Harry Potter, you both are hereby sentenced to spend the rest of your natural lives in prison and are hereby ordered to pay Lord Potter £850 billion in restitution. You two are by far the most disgusting parents ever. (Bangs Gavel) Take them away.
The guards grabbed her and they saw us and they saw Lily and James Potter back from the dead!
Guard: (British Accent) Lily and James Potter! You're back!
Guard 2: (British Accent) It's good to have you back Lady Lily.
Lily Potter: Thank you gentlemen. And this is for my sister.
POW!
Lily punched her in the face.
Me: Nice shot.
Petunia: You are a freak! You should've stayed dead you wretched fuck!
Me: Go fuck yourself sideways.
They took her and Vernon away and they looked at us with extreme hatred.
We later went back home.
Later we were in our garage working on a special project. We were building our own special biplanes like when we fought in World War I. It was because we got word about the ruthless Sky Pirate, Don Karnage, causing trouble again.
TaleSpin
Being the leader of the Air Pirates, Don Karnage's main goal is to plunder the city of Cape Suzette of its resources. However, he and his forces underestimate the extremely talented piloting skills of the protagonist, the bear pilot Baloo, which has lead to many defeats, much to Karnage's anger. Baloo is his arch nemesis on Talespin. He would often resort to losing his temper whenever thing go bad, even for the slightest reasons.
Most of Don Karnage's schemes involve taking over Cape Suzette. In the "Plunder and Lightning" story arc, he steals a valuable gem that generates electricity, and he exploits the gem's power to power a weapon that causes so much damage to many buildings around Cape Suzette. Another time was in the episode "From Here to Machinery", when he learns that Shere Khan is replacing all pilots with robots called the Auto Aviators (created by Professor Torque), and upon learning that the robot never deviate from their programming, he intend to exploit this to put his skills of air piracy to good use. Another time was in the episode "On a Wing and a Bear", when he briefly formed a deal with Shere Khan to create an oil shortage so that Khan can extort higher prices to the public. Another was in "A Bad Reflection on You", where he exploits the usage of mirrors to stage disappearances of pilots (including Khan's very own pilots) during their travel through a dangerous air route called the Master Run. All of his schemes were thwarted and defeated by Baloo and his friends.
DuckTales (2017)
Don Karnage appears in the episode "Sky Pirates...in the Sky!", where he and the Air Pirates launch a raid on the Sunchaser. While Scrooge, Webby and Huey, Dewey and Louie prepare for battle, Karnage and his pirates distract them with a song and dance number whilst robbing them blind, and then escape afterwards. Back in the Iron Vulture, Karnage berates his pirates for making him look bad with their poor performance, and ends up discovering Dewey, who stowed away to regain his hat. Karnage has Dewey restrained and leaves to prepare a dramatic punishment for him, and, while he is gone, Dewey ends up befriending the pirates and turns them against him. After being thrown out of the Iron Vulture, Karnage swears to get revenge on Dewey, and notices the crashed Sunchaser nearby. Poorly disguising himself as a botanist named "Tom Karnage", he attempts to convince Scrooge and the others that the pirates stole his research and they must help him get it back, and, although everyone realizes he is Don Karnage in disguise, they allow him to join them as he could lead them to the pirates.
As they are trying to find the Iron Vulture, Karnage and the others are abducted by the pirates and Dewey, who has become their new captain, although the pirates soon turn on him too when he both orders the treasure to be returned and begins acting like Karnage. The pirates prepare to throw the group overboard, and Karnage reveals himself, stating that he only pushes his crew because he feels they can do better, regaining his captain status while Dewey reconciles with his friends. Following this, Karnage tries to dispose of Dewey and the others but ends up fighting the former instead. The other triplets and Webby then misdirect Karnage by all pretending to be Dewey while stealing the treasure back, and escape by triggering the pirates to sing, much to Karnage's frustration. With no one steering the Iron Vulture, it crashes into the side of a mountain, and Karnage curses Dewey for his actions.
Don Karnage is confirmed in the episode "GlomTales" where he teams up with Flintheart Glomgold, Ma Beagle and her Beagle Boys, Mark Beaks, and Magica De Spell to exact their revenge against Clan McDuck, where he in particular wishes to exact revenge against Dewey Duck.
We were gonna have the most awesome and action packed dogfight since World War I and it was gonna be over the South Pacific Ocean. Our biplanes were World War I planes with 21st century weaponry like missiles, lasers, bombs and more.
Me: This is gonna be awesome!
Laney: It sure is. I've always wanted to fly a World War I style biplane.
Brian: You should've seen Peter and Quagmire fought a Miley Cyrus Android in Quahog,
Laney: Really Brian?
Brian: Yeah. A Miley Cyrus android ran amok all over the city and Peter and Quagmire fought it like with King Kong.
Laney: Wow! That is so cool!
Stewie: My God! I remember that!
Nico: That must've been so cool!
Brian: It was.
Me: I can tell.
We later got all of our planes ready.
Me: All right, our planes are locked and loaded and ready for action.
Jetfire: (to Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust, and Ramjet) (Australian Accent) Alright. All of us wil lbe engaging Karnage and his goons in our vehicle modes. Since Starscream is dead, I'm your commander for this mission.
Thundercracker: (Cowboy Accent) Right boss!
Me: Okay ready guys?
Everyone: Ready!
Me: Contact!
I spun the propeller and it started up.
Me: It works!
Me and Nico got into the back and we were off! The Swat Kats were with us.
T-Bone: Awesome planes guys!
Me: Thanks Chance. This is so cool flying planes like this.
Razor: You guys were born to fly.
Me: We sure were.
We opened a portal that lead to over the South Pacific Ocean and we went through it and we were over Pirate Island.
Pirate Island is just one in a cluster of volcanic islands far from Cape Suzette. Enshrouded in mist and fog from the frequently gloomy weather, these uncharted islands are rather difficult to locate without precise navigation. Sea gulls, buzzards, and sparse pine trees are the only signs of life on the desolate peaks. Many flyers and sailors purposely steer clear of this foreboding region, making it the perfect area for the Air Pirates to establish their secret lair.
For secrecy's sake, Pirate Island is located not behind the volcanoes but inside one of them.
It is unknown how much of the tunnels are natural, and how much are dug by the pirates themselves, as there are various booby-traps throughout many of the tunnels.
The exact location of Pirate Island is the Air Pirates' single most carefully-kept secret, and outsiders never find their way, exept for Baloo once, who was directed by former air pirate Kit Cloudkicker.
Main entrance
Camouflage is the crucial element in keeping the Air Pirates' presence on Pirate Island a secret. The Air Pirates hide the main entrance to their base behind a pair of massive doors on one side of the island. Covered with a phony rock surface, these motorized doors open in response to a special signal from the Iron Vulture's radio transmitter, revealing an immense cavern within the island large enough to hold the airship, with room to spare for additional vessels. The pirates use a small tugboat to guide the Vulture to a loading dock at the far end of the cave, and to turn the ship around for takeoff.
Back door sea entrance
Sea-based aircraft may use the secondary "back door" entrance on the other side of the mountain. Entering Pirate Island this way involves a tricky flight into a thick fog bank covering what, from above, appears to be nothing but solid rock. However, aerial approach at a low angle — cutting under the fog — reveals a series of rocks arranged like a rib cage.
Beyond these obstacles lies a watery inlet, emptying into an underground stream which leads straight through the mountain. The Air Pirates leave this entrance deserted most of the time, using it only when they need to dispatch pirate transports or when the main entrance is somehow inaccessible.
The back-entrance tunnel is dangerously full of booby-traps and natural hazards.
Things look different coming out from the inside; a tunnel from the pirates' workshop provides an alternate path to the back entrance, ending right where the more hazardous, more apparent route begins (where the paths join is impossible to tell in the shadows).
Workshop
Practically all the Air Pirates' mechanical experiments and repairs take place in the workshop. Supervised by pirate mechanic Ratchet, the workshop provides the pirates with enough space and materials to rebuild, equip, and maintain machines as large as aircraft. A giant furnace, used for melting down metals, feeds directly into a vent in the top of the island, brilliantly masking the furnace exhaust as volcanic smoke. Crates and scattered bundles of treasure lie strewn about the workshop until transferred to other areas. Railroad tracks run from the shop to the vast main cavern for transporting planes, ammunition, and supplies to and from the waiting Iron Vulture. Another tunnel in the far wall leads to Pirate Island's back entrance.
Dungeon
Few prisoners get to visit Pirate Island, as the Iron Vulture has cells aplenty in its brig. Karnage may decide, however, that an important captive must be whisked away to the pirates' lair for safe keeping until ransom is paid. Those who've been unlucky guests of the Air Pirates report that the base is almost completely deserted when Karnage and company are out on a heist; only a handful of slow-witted guards remain.
Other portions of Pirate Island include storage rooms for weapons, fuel, and foodstuffs; a kitchen and mess hall; training and recreation areas; and personal quarters for the pirates (including Don Karnage). Torches are chosen for illumination and warmth over electric lamps, as running a generator and power grid large enough to light up the whole base would be impractical.
Outdoor balcony
On the rare days when the weather clears, Don Karnage seizes the opportunity to soak up the sun's rays. A carved stone balcony, one of the captain's favorite spots to relax, once overlooked the ocean from the west face of Pirate Island — Karnage often spent entire afternoons basking in the sun there, with underlings attending to his every whim. An unfortunate brush with the Iron Vulture has since reduced the outcropping to rubble.
Tricks, traps, and alarms
Unwary trespassers and would-be escapees will stumble across dozens of unpleasant surprises in the Air Pirates' island home — spikes shooting from the ceiling, collapsing floors, even metal jaw traps popping out of cobbled footpaths. These fiendishly clever, exceptionally dangerous snares are concentrated along the paths leading to the island's back entrance, the most likely escape route.
While most of the traps are set off by tripwires and floor triggers (easy enough to circumvent, if you're not in any particular hurry), some traps are manually activated and may help the pirates slow down intruders. An alarm system wired throughout the complex sounds either as a warning, or as a general alert when the Iron Vulture is leaving or returning to the base.
Arms and weaponry
Taking into consideration the risk of prisoners escaping or travellers stumbling upon Pirate Island, Don Karnage has installed powerful outer defenses into the Air Pirates' fortress. Hidden behind panels in the sides and top of the volcano, accurate artillery guns can fire long-range shells at intruding aircraft and ships (not to mention pesky summer clouds interfering with Karnage's outdoor tanning breaks).
With us was Baloo who was flying his own plane, the Sea Duck.

Troy Burrows: Skyship Standing by.
Our planes and Flying Wild Zords were ready.
Me: We're ready for action.
The enemy ships were coming.
Nico: This is it boys.
Me: Red Leader this is Gold Leader.
Nico: I copy Gold Leader.
Me: Our targets are in sight now. Lets go!
We saw a plane coming and in it was Don Karnage!
Don Karnage: So all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm is here! Love the planes.
Me: The better to bite your nose with you furfuck! Get ready to fire guys!
Lincoln: Right!
We attacked the Sky Pirates. I fired bullets at a bunch of pirates and blew their planes apart.
Razor: Slicer Missiles, Deploy!
Razor pressed 4 buttons and fired 4 missiles and they opened and turned into deadly razor blades and they cut through 3 planes and they exploded into a million pieces.
Razor: Banshee Missiles, deploy!
Razor pressed 2 buttons and they fired and the Banshee Missiles released a super powerful sonic blast and they hit 2 planes and they exploded all over.
Me: Matchhead Missiles, Fire!
I pressed 2 buttons and fired two missiles with 2 red heads on them that lit on fire and they hit 2 planes and exploded.
Lori: Tornado Missiles, Literally fire!
Lori pressed two buttons and fired two missiles that turned into powerful tornadoes and they spun two planes around and exploded.
Megaforce Rangers: Legendary Ranger Mode: Race Force!
The Megaforce Power Rangers turned into the Japanese Version of the Turbo Power Rangers from 1990. Troy Burrows turned into the Red Japanese Turbo Ranger, Noah Carver turned into the Japanese Blue Turbo Ranger, Jake Halling turned into the Black Japanese Turbo Ranger, Gia Moran turned into the Yellow Japanese Turbo Ranger, Emma Goodall turned into the Pink Japanese Turbo Ranger and Orion turned into a new brown Senturion Ranger!
Karnage: What are you going to do? Run circles around me?
Troy Burrows: Oh we're about to do worse than that!
We fired lasers and blew some of the planes apart. We were firing machine guns and lightning blasts and missiles and we blew all of the planes apart. But we saw Don Karnage head into his hideout.
Me: He's heading into his hideout!
Ladybug: Karnage retreated into his hideout!
Batman: He knows we've got him beat. So, let's take this time to sneak in and catch him by surprise.
Me: Will do. Good thing we built floats onto our planes.
We flew after him and we went into the hideout and went into the hideout quietly. We got out of our planes and we were looking for him. We turned into cockroaches to avoid being seen by the guards and we snuck passed them unnoticed.
Guard 1: That look odd to you?
Guard 2: (Stupidly) Duh nope. Uh uh. Nope.
Maria: Well, our Phoenix Cry just became pointless.
The door opened to reveal Karnage pointing a pistol at us.
Karnage: Hello, Team Loud Phoenix Storm. Up for a few rounds?
Spiderman: Trust me. It'll only take one.
Karnage: You flew those planes really well. Not bad for first timers.
Me: Thank you for the compliment. We pilot starships and all kinds of planes. Shall we dance?
I swooped in and punched him in the face and kicked him in the stomach and bit him in the finger and kicked him in the crotch. Nico punched him in the face and kicked him in the hand and knocked his gun out of his hand and laney punched him in the face and kicked him in the mouth and knocked out some of his teeth. Lola fired a powerful blast of fire and burned him and Lori spun him around in a powerful tornado of wind and Baloo threw heavy fruits at Karnage and they really hurt and Karnage pulled out his sword and we clashed. Massive sparks and embers flew everywhere and set some gasoline on fire and then it lit the barrels on fire and exploded.
KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
The Whole hideout was now going up in flames. Troy Burrows slashed Karnage with his GT Sword and he cut him up, Noah Carvers blasted him with his J Gun, Jake Halling smashed Karnage with his T Hammer, Gia Moran skewered Karnage with her B Bowgun and skewered him and Emma Goodall smashed him all over with her W Staff and Orion punched Karnage all over the place.
Me: Lets get him with our combos!
Red Alert: Lets do it! CYBER KEY POWER!
The Autobot Cyber Planet Key went into his shoulder missile cannon and turned it into a powerful more powerful cannon.
Stacy: This is gonna be so cool! GIGANTION CYBER KEY POWER!
The Gigantion Cyber Planet Key went into Stacy's Right Arm Device and it enhanced her lightning powers 100-fold.
Red Alert and Stacy: LIGHTNING PLASMA DEATHRAY!
They both fired powerful blasts of energy and lightning and they hit Karnage and exploded.
KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!
Soundwave: Target: Don Karnage acquired. CYBER KEY POWER!
The Planet X Cyber Planet Key went into his back and it enabled him to fire a powerful energy blast from his chest.
Blitzwing: Lets do it! CYBER KEY POWER!
The Gigantion Cyber Planet Key went into his back and it enhanced his Gyro-Blaster Rifle 100-fold.
Soundwave and Blitzwing: SUPERSONIC DARKBEAM BURST!
They both fired powerful energy blasts and they hit Karnage and exploded.
KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
Me: Time for some awesome Final Smash power!
Baloo: You got it! And old papa bear is gonna get him good! FRUITBOMB MEGA PULVERIZE!
Baloo fired a powerful barrage of fruit and smashed them all over Karnage and covered him all over.
Mowgli: Lets show him Papa Bear! MAN SPEAR DEATH STAB!
Mowgli threw a spear and it skewered Don Karnage and went through his legs.
Laney: Taste the venom of defeat! POISON BARB FIRESTORM BURST!
Laney formed a powerful sundew plant and it threw poisonous barbs at Don Karnage and they hit him and poisoned him.
We took Don Karnage and onto an airplane. We heard Tick Tock the Crocodile coming.
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.
Dewey: Guys, Tick Tock is outside, right?
Baloo: Yep. He's on the ground.
Dewey: Good. Tell him that the minute someone enters his jaws, he should close them no matter what!
Webby: Ok. (realizes something) Dewey, what're you planning?
Dewey charged towards Karnage and tackled him as the two fell towards the ground outside.
Della: DEWEY, NO!
Me: DEWEY!
We saw Dewey do a powerful dive and he grabbed Karnage and he flew out of the way as Karnage flew into Tick Tock's mouth and ate him!
CHOMP!
BURP!
Tick Tock was stuffed.
Dewey flew back to us.
Me: Dewey that was awesome!
Scrooge McDuck: (Scottish Accent) Lad have you lost your mind!
Louie (to Dewey): Dude, what were you thinking back there?!
Dewey (weakly smiles): I was thinking about making Karnage meet his end.
Laney: You had us worried! For a minute, we thought you were going to die!
Dewey: Well, that's what a hero does, right? He risks his life to stop bad guys and help people.
Scrooge: (hugs Dewey) Lad, promise me won't do anything that risky again!
Dewey: I promise.
Me: But you were really brave dude.
Baloo: (To the viewers) Not even deadly Sky Pirates can stop the mighty friends of Team Loud Phoenix Storm. These guys are just that good.
Me: You said it Baloo.
Mowgli: What do we do with Pirate Island now?
Me: We blow it up with our Superlaser after we take all the treasure Carnage stole.
We took all the treasure and it was quite a huge amount of it.
Later back at the estate we got ready.
Me: Charge up the superlaser.
Fu: Roger that. Commence Primary Ignition.
Fu pressed some buttons and pulled a lever and the superlaser was ready to fire at the island.
Me: Fire!
We fired the Superlaser at the island and it hit it and exploded with incredible power.
KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
When the smoke cleared, the entire island was completely destroyed and completely obliterated. Nothing of it was left but a huge crater in the ocean that was filling up with water.
Me: BINGO!
Lincoln: Nice shot! Take that you sky pirate freaks.
Nico: They have failed this whole world.
Me: Yep.
The Sky Pirates were dead.
THE END
Another Fanfiction Complete and our first Talespin Villain destroyed.
I'm Back in business baby! Don Karnage from Talespin is so funny and Talespin was an awesome and funny show spinoff of the Jungle Book. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks man. Let me know what you all think. Next up for chapter 910 is our third Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Villain: Jake The Snake Desmond and be ready to give a serious hiss of disapproval when we face an evil hockey player turned into a monster snake!
See you all tomorrow.
