Death Eater Invasion Results in Death, Mystery
Article by Dempsey Doodle

The apparent infiltration of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by a group of Death Eaters resulted in the murder of up to seven Beauxbatons professors and the attempted murder of two Hogwarts professors.

The professors of Beauxbatons, who were visiting Hogwarts for an undisclosed reason, were killed enroute. Their visit is suspected by many to have been more than a mere pleasure cruise. The group of Death Eaters that killed them then proceeded on to Hogwarts, posing as the French staff.

"I don't know how this happened. We were so careful. Every precaution was taken," Olympe Maxime, headmistress of Beauxbatons was heard to say. She had not realized her staff was missing until the Hogwarts staff complained of the behavior of the imposters.

"They were always where they weren't supposed to be," Terry Weasley, Hufflepuff second year said. "It was very suspicious and very hard to be civil. More students than normal were punished for responding to the rudeness of the guests."

The actual motive for this intrusion has not yet been told and may never be known to the general public. Rumors abound throughout the school and many suggest the Death Eaters were in search of some item hidden at the school.

Added to the mystery is the motive behind the attempted murders of Professors Violet Trig and Professor Isabelle Adrie. While many have indicated that a Hogwarts professor was actually responsible for pulling a knife during the End-of-Term ball, Headmaster Hendrik insists the Death Eaters were in fact to blame.

The identities of the Death Eaters have no yet been released, but they are safely tucked away in Azkaban prison awaiting trial. The Minister assures the public that a swift trial will put the miscreants away for a long time. The search continues for the two Death Eaters who escaped (see page 23 for the story).

In the meantime, Professors Trig and Adrie are taking a short leave of absence while they heal and Maxime is in search of new professors while Beauxbatons mourns. We can only hope that the object hidden at Hogwarts will be removed before another tragedy occurs.
