#vulneraevent

In the mid afternoon on September 16th, there were three simultaneous attacks on Ottery St. Catchpole, Tutshill & Godric’s Hallow. Over 100 people were injured, at least 10 dead, including several muggles in surrounding areas. A dark mark hung over Godric’s Hallow as well. The names of the dead related to Hogwarts students are as follows:

Alfred Chittock ( muggle )

Evangeline Meadowes ( muggle )

Naveem Shafiq

Richard Cattermole

Lyssa Trelawney

Jacob Abbott

Heracles Jones

While Sybill Trelawney had been taken in for questioning by Aurors before, the questioning happened again. Alice Shafiq, Capucine Delacour & Glenda Chittock all having been taken in for questioning earlier that day as well. After these deaths, the Auror department issues a statement that ALL Hogwarts students must go through a round of questioning as the Ministry is desperate to find anyone who is connected to his drug ring, hoping they’ll be able to find his location that way. Glenda was especially questioned, having a history with drugs and getting caught with them, her interrogation lasting upwards of 2 hours. As many other students have been caught for drugs and alcohol, much of the school wonders – why Glenda? Is it because she’s muggleborn? Black? The Hogsmeade trip that was supposed to happen this weekend was moved to next weekend and students are told will be heavily, heavily guarded.

Anita Abbott spoke out to the press after the death of her son, saying she “hopes that Dumbledore is caught and is grateful no one in her family was involved in Dumbledore’s Drug Ring”.  Some people could’ve sworn Christopher Abbott had whispered, “that’s because there isn’t one” under his breath, but no one can confirm. The anti-Dumbledore media has had field day using the cries of a grieving mother to elicit a reaction from the press and the community.

What was even more shocking? Gringott’s bank was broken into for the second time that year. They thought after the previous break in that upping security and the like would help. But, once again, it didn’t. Cursebreakers Penelope Trelawney and Natalia Yaxley were deployed to the scene reporting that nothing was stolen – only Dumbledore’s half moon glasses were left atop of a Death Eater mask in the Minister’s vault.

Cygnus Black spoke out ardently, screaming at both the Minister, Chief Warlock, Head of the DMLE & Aurors, to finally put Dumbledore away. To find him. It’s obvious to him, with these signs, that it’s him who’s a Death Eater, it’s him who staged these attacks.

As the Ministry is desperate, they brought an elite group of Cursebreakers, Aurors and Hit Wix in the form of the Delacour family from France. The Ministry, the Wizarding World is starting to scramble – the effects of this event rippling throughout Europe. Paranoia is at an all time high; lack of faith in the Ministry at an all time low. Some are now saying they think Dumbledore is Voldemort’s right hand man, some are saying they think Dumbledore could very well be Voldemort himself. No one knows what to think and everyone is scared. A dangerous combination as the minds of the public are now much more easily malleable in this state, something the Death Eaters are sure to take advantage of.

Once again, this break in was the work of Death Eaters – Corban & Samuel Yaxley to be exact – thought that is certainly not known to the public. Cygnus knows, of course, but the further smearing of Dumbledore is needed and has succeeded – especially as Chief Warlock, Michael Greengrass, stays silent. The Death Eaters are happy as everything is going according to plan.
