Judgement Day Close For The Raglers?

Written by Orion Star on May 24, 2019. Posted in Ministry of Magic Affairs, Raglers. 1 Comment on Judgement Day Close For The Raglers?

It has been about seven months since the notorious group called the “Raglers” first struck the home of Mrs. Willis in Kent and robbed her at wand point. Since then, their reign of terror has steadily increased to a point that last week, the entire Cornell family were found unconscious (and in the case of Mr. Cornell, badly injured), in addition to being robbed. The Cornell family, who are currently in good health (though still shaken up about the incident) have voiced their concerns about the safety of their family and others, now that the Raglers have escalated their robberies to include attacking unarmed witches and wizards in their own homes.

For several months, the Magical Law Enforcement Officers has been working tirelessly to uncover the identities of this notorious four-man group, but their efforts have been unsuccessful thus far as the Raglers don’t seem to show any particular pattern while choosing their target houses. “But, now that they have started attacking the home owners, we have decided that the Auror Office take point in our hunt for the Raglers.”, says Peter Bones, Head of Magical Law Enforcement Office and nephew of the late Amelia Bones. (May her soul rest in peace)

The Auror Office has been tight-lipped about their plans to track and apprehend the notorious Raglers, but sources from within the Ministry have disclosed that a special Task Force has been created to bring down the group, headed by a veteran Auror who’s identity shall not be disclosed at the present time. “The Task Force is closing in on discovering the identities of the Raglers”, says an anonymous source in the Ministry, “and once they know who these four are, they will be hunted down and incarcerated in Azkaban.”.

Another anonymous source disclosed that the Head of the Auror Office, William Lovegood, has made this case a top priority. “He wants this win”, says the source, “as he is standing for re-election next month to extend his term in Office for another five years.”. As a result of this, the Aurors are working 24×7 and leaving no stone unturned in their hunt for the Raglers. The Ministry assures everyone that the Raglers will be apprehended shortly, but in the meantime, they have issued pamphlets on basic home defenses and advice everyone to keep their wands on their person at all times (particularly at night).

Masterful Break In And Escape From Gringotts

Written by Barnabas Cuffe on May 8, 2019. Posted in Black Magic, Matters of Magic. 23 Comments on Masterful Break In And Escape From Gringotts

In a publication that was written on the 31st of July, 1991 – The Daily Prophet reported on the masterful break in and escape from Gringotts. What it did not report however was dark magic used to facilitate the break in, and the multiple deaths that followed because of it.

In a recent finding by one of our archivists here at The Daily Prophet, we have uncovered the full length publication that was never released to the world of magic – until now.In a gruesome and elaborate attempt to break into Gringotts, unidentified Wizards and Witches were seen earlier as they absconded through Gringotts trying to keep a low profile.

Many witnesses only remember multiple cloaked figures wandering the lower chambers of the bank with black cloaks on and their heads cast downward – wands at the ready.

One Goblin commenting ‘I wasn’t going to ask what they were doing here or why. I had seen them casting spells from down the hall on anyone who asked them. Unforgivable spells.’

While multiple bodies have been located, none have been identified or named due to the horrendous nature of the condition they were found in.

As the death tally continues to rise we had a chance to catch up with the Department of Magical Law Enforcements Amelia Bones.

When inquiring what the Wizards and Witches were doing and how they escaped from Gringotts, the head of the department told us that ‘Nothing had been taken from the vault that was raided. We’re not sure what the intruders were looking for, but they left empty handed.’

A Goblin who was also present would not give The Daily Prophet any information regarding what the vault that was broken into contained and only commented that, ‘The Wizarding Community and The Paper should keep its noses out of it, if it knew what’s good for it.’

The Daily Prophet stood by as St. Mungos personal rolled a minimum of 14 Goblin bodies out of Gingotts bank. With no lead or further information on how the escape from Gringotts took place, authorities are bewildered and can only hope more witnesses come forward with pertinent information pertaining to the case.

Dear Barnabas,

Our sources inside at The Daily Prophet have provided a copy to of us on the publication titled ‘ESCAPE FROM GRINGOTTS | DEAD BODIES CONTINUE TO ADD UP’, and it is our regret to inform you that due to the surrounding circumstances of this tragedy, we are demanding that the article be changed to reflect far less details. I can not say why but it is of the utmost importance that The Daily Prophet yields to The a Ministry of Magic’s behest.

Thank you for your understanding.

Magically Yours,
Cornelius Fudge
