Chapter Fifteen, End of the War

The night before the end of term feast a large battle was taking place between Dumbledore, the Aurors, and the Order of the Phoenix against the Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. A battle that the occupants of Hogwarts and the rest of the Wizarding World wouldn't find out until the following morning; when emergency morning copies of the Daily Prophet flooded to everyone in the Wizarding World, even to those in other countries. As everyone was sitting down to breakfast all over the globe owls flooded to Hogwarts, to Wizarding Homes, to other Ministries around the world, and even to students and staff in other Magical Schools. All of them bringing them a copy of the Daily Prophet; that had a rather shocking and excitable headline.

'BREAKING NEWS: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is Dead!! The Wizarding War is finally over!

Last night at precisely 10:20pm on June 20th, a ferocious battle took place in Cornwall, England. A battle between Dark and Light: the British Aurors, Albus Dumbledore, and his Order of the Phoenix against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. No one knows for sure how long the battle lasted for, or how Voldemort suddenly became human. (Speculation has been going round that the now once Dark Lord, was something less than you human and could not die). But we at the Daily Prophet are thankful for whoever, or whatever caused You-Know-Who to become human once again, as it allowed Albus Dumbledore to deal the fatal blow that killed the most feared wizard of all time, since Gerllert Grindelwald, ending the war once and for all.

The Death Eaters that had been in attendance at the battle (those that survived), have all been rounded up, and sent to Azkaban prison after being tried under Veritaserum, in an all-night Trial. Trials that only finished at five am this morning. It is troubling dear readers, that so many of our young population chose to follow in their parents or friends footsteps. Hopefully the newer generation and the generation left behind, will be much wiser than some of this one.

I also have to announce that thankfully the casualties are quite low all things considered: a few Aurors and Order members are in St Mungo's being treated for their injuries but there were only two casualties; Podrick Jacobs and Emille De Lan. Jacobs, a long standing Auror at the Ministry of Magic and De Lan, a long standing Order member, thoughts and condolences go out to their family, as well as being awarded Order of Merlin First Class and £1000 Galleon prize for their families; for their part in bringing the downfall of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Although this cannot bring them back, we hope this may aid them in what lies ahead and comfort them knowing they are war heroes and their names will be added to a new statue in the Ministry's Atrium.
