MINISTRY OF MAGIC EMPLOYEE SCOOPS GRAND PRIZE
Arthur Weasley, Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts
Office at the Ministry of Msgic, 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
Sirius Black, posibly 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 of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, this morning, "and we beg the magical community to remain calm."
Fudge has been criticized by some members
of the International Federation of Warlocks for informing the Muggle Prime Minister of this crisis.
"Well, really, I had to, don't you know,"
said an irritable Fudge. "Black is mad. He's a danger to ayone who crosses him, magic or Muggle. I have the Prime Minister's
assurance that he will not breathe a word of Fudge'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 eachother), the magical community lives in fear of a massacre
like that of twelve years ago, when Black murdered thirteen people with a single curse.
