Article 1

CHAOS AT HOGWARTS, MINISTRY QUESTIONED

The end of this school year at Hogwarts saw yet another incident, after the previous years drama. In this case an actual Ministry official who was conducting an investigation at the school, as a means to increase safety ironically following the previous years incident. Yet it seemed the biggest threat to safety was the investigator himself.

Thaddeus Storm, 39, was revealed to have been a criminal who stole valuable items from four specific Hogwarts students, namely refugee students, one each from Ilvermorny, Uagadou, Mahoutokoro and Castelobruxo. He then kidnapped a Slytherin student in second year who has had their name withheld. Regardless he apparently did this to blackmail Headmaster Dumbledore and ended up duelling four brave second year students who tried to save their friend and were aided by Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Jane Bennett.

Insead of arresting Thaddeus however, the man took his own life and left a storm of questions in his wake, most notably of the Ministry who appointed him to the school in the first place. Naturally the Ministry spokespeople have been denying any involvement in Thaddeus' actions.

"We had no idea Mr. Storm was involved in such criminal activity and disavow his actions." Minister Fudge announced today. "We will be conducting a full investigation to find out why he did what he did and will release more details as we get them."

But as of now, no further details have emerged.
