As you turn the page of the book, a folded piece of newspaper falls out. You unfold it and find that it's an old article from the Daily Prophet.
"This is Dempsey Doodle, your daring roving reporter once again. Today, this reporter comes to you from St. Mungo's, at the bed-side of former Ministry official and Hogwart's Headmistress Nora Leiden.
While Ms. Leiden has proved to be helpful only in muttering about cheese and parsnip salad, we have been able to discover more information about what occurred at the school this past term through student and staff interviews and a bit of speculation.
Although once lauded as saviour and visionary to the school, Leiden is reduced now to little more than a bad cookbook. This reporter happens to know the cheese and parsnip salad she speaks of, and she is not impressed.
The Ministry's official statement is that Leiden was brutally attacked and cursed by a current Death Eater known as Jade Surreaux. Surreaux was reportedly in search of the legendary Book of Mysteria, last seen at Hogwarts and current location unknown.
Cassandra Rae, cast out of the school last term, was instrumental in leading a rescue mission to apprehend Surreaux and take back the school from the chaos Leiden had created. She is the Ministry's new favorite, and who can blame them? Youngest Headmistress in centuries, former Auror, and widowed hero, Rae is perfectly cast as Witch of the Moment. This reporter only wonders if the young Headmistress is maybe spending too much time trying to mend a broken heart, having been seen publically with Andrew McAiken, Gideon Prewett, Doyle Branxton, and Bertie Borr.
When asked by this reporter how she felt to be so lauded, Rae made her 'no comment' more than clear and punctuated with a spell. This reporter is actually quite fond of the new feathers - much easier to handle than hair anyway.
We at the Daily Prophet look forward eagerly to the occurences at Hogwart's. We feel confident that the Headmistress and her staff will do an excellent job this term in keeping the children safe, and we want to publically chastise Miss Leiden for her selfish and narrow-minded rules, her staffing choices including a suspected Death Eater and a house elf abuser, and her inability to control the students while she was in office.
