"...yet again," say we of the Daily Prophet.
Once again, the Ministry has displayed the utmost fumbling of security matters, putting the whole Wizarding World at risk, this not being the first time it ever happened - nor is it the first time incidents of this magnitude have been kept away from the unsuspecting public.
As usual, the ever intrepid staff of the Daily Prophet, led by Benignus Bessant, have uncovered a can full of worms - glowing, radioactive, 'end-of-the-world' worms.
Voldemortist, the misguided lunatic devotee of the original Voldemort, Tom Marvolo Riddle, was transported under Ministry custody from Hogwarts to the prison Azkaban, but the prisoner never reached his destination, for halfway on the journey, Voldemortist killed his three guards and made good his escape!
This, we might like to remind our dear readers, is not the first time such an open mockery of justice has occurred, nor is it the first time Voldemortist has inveigled his way into the school of our children. Last time, a few hapless innocents were left dead, their young spirits checked cruelly, and while this time, there was no loss of young life, the question may be asked of the school staff, as well of as our ministers:
What are you doing?
It has been discovered that Doyle Branxton, a Ministry official masquerading as a Potions Professor, and Cassandra Rae, headmistress of Hogwarts are engaged. Their torrid romance seems to have wiped away all consciousness of their duties to the school and to our children.
Once again, the menace is at large. He is not to be stopped. The Daily Prophet would like to extend our condolences to the families of the three guards killed in the wake of Voldemortist's escape, Flavian Fortesque, Brendon Alexander Gillingdale and Morgan Whitney.
