SEPTEMBER 3, 1977
MINISTRY BAFFLED BY RECENT SPIKE IN CRIME RATE!
So the kids have gone off to Hogwarts, and all is well. Or at least, all should be well.
It's impossible to fight and enemy which covers its tracks completely. The Ministry of Magic is figuring this out first-hand. Many of their officials ceased coming to work or have disappeared completely. Those who have been found seem to have been under the influence of a very powerful series of Forgetfulness Charms. Even after several strong attempts to break these charms, the victims remained very confused and incomprehensible, although a little more aware of themselves. So far, these charmed officials cannot recall being ambushed at all.
It seems that Witches and Wizards are not the only people finding themselves in dark times. Muggles in London have been discovered in a slew of strange conditions. One man was frozen in the act of sleeping for at least six days before he was discovered and the Ministry was able to reverse whatever spell had been cast on him. Another muggle woman had a less-fortunate experience. Family told the Muggle police that Evelyn, the woman in question, had simply been walking to her work at the children's school when she turned the corner and began screaming. A few people asked her what was wrong, but it wasn't until she was taken down to the police offices that she told how the earth had become the sky and the sky the earth. This news sounds heavily of an anti-gravity mist spell, and Ministry officials have been placed under cover in the town to get to the bottom of any other activity.
Lastly, the parents of a Muggleborn student have disappeared. Second year Hufflepuff student, Quintin Warburg, came home one night to their country cottage to find that his parents were out. After nearly three weeks passing, the option of marking out fowl play has left consideration. Search parties have been dispatched since this past Wednesday.
IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER
WHY WE KEEP FIGHTING,
WITHOUT IT BEING SO EASY
TO FORGET THESE DAYS!
