The men left in the room simply looked at each other horrified. Ginny simply smiled and said, "I can't wait for the paper to come out tomorrow." As all eyes went to her becoming slightly more uncomfortable and nodded slowly.

The next morning.

Aurora rolled over in bed hitting her fiance's firm chest. "Bill get up we have to start getting everyone up for breakfast at your mum's" Bill groaned opening one eye and pulling her close for a cuddle. 

"No. Five more minutes the paper isn't delivered until 8:30 you can live with not being early for once. Now shhhhhh sleep." Bill whispered into the cold morning as Aurora tugged slightly on his arms acting as though she would get up. She quickly gave up curling into his chest more and pulling the blankets up higher to her chin. 

The door quietly opened as a head of curly black hair was seen poking around the corner. The small teen silently tip-toed over to the bed and slipped under the covers curling into his dad's other side and grabbing his mum's hand absorbing their warmth. "Hmmm hi bub how do you feel today", Aurora whispered as she slipped a hand through Harry's hair still messy from sleep, watching as his eyes fought sleep. Harry did answer simply curling more into Bill and pushing his hand sleepily into the hand on his head. His parents quietly chuckled and pulled him closer letting him sleep for a few minutes before Aurora slowly sat up. She slowly kissed both boys on the head before grabbing her robe and heading to change. 

~~~Time skip brought by me wanting to write the article~~~

"Time to get up boys we have to get going!" Aurora now wide awake and slightly loud from excitement called out from the end of the hall. She was still housing a majority of the ex-Hogwarts students simply because they wanted to do a big sleepover. Cedric was staying in Harry's room with him not wanting to go back to his apartment alone, the Twins wanted to join them and had begged their mother who had no issues as long as everyone came over for breakfast. 

Everyone knew what was coming out today as there Mrs. Weasley and Aurora had not been very subtle about how pleased they were with themselves. The rush down the stairs was intent with Harry leading the way with Cedric right behind him. Everyone quickly gathered in front of the fireplace to go to the Burrow for the paper and breakfast, but mostly the paper. 

"Oh wonderful everyone right on time!" Mrs.Weasley called out as he set the table for breakfast everyone slowly flowed into the kitchen to say hello with Bill and Aurora coming through last to give the Weasley parents hugs as a hello. 

"Morning Molly" Aurora greeted shooing her away from the table and finishing setting it with the twin's help. Just then the floo started up and Percy came through having decided he wanted to see the paper before going to work. He lit up seeing everyone was there and went to hug Aurora mumbling hellos before taking his seat. 

Bill chuckled but right as the food was passed out he spotted a few owls coming toward the window and called out "Papers are coming!" causing all the kids to jump up and run the the window waiting impatiently for the paper. The adults all laughed with Bill calling out again "Give them room to come in don't worry we will read it out to you!" The kids sheepishly backed up and sat back down with Harry going to Aurora's side wanting to see the article for himself as Bill passed her the paper.

Aurora took one look and started laughing the second she looked at the paper and mumbled, "Not the most flattering picture is it". She proceeded to turn the paper around showing the table a picture of Dumbledor walking cuffed through the ministry and being dragged as he yelled out. The table quickly erupted into laughter shocked that a picture like that had been included of the former headmaster. 

They all quickly yelled out well what does it say and she chuckled before starting to read:

DUMBLEDOR CHARGED ON MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS FOR CHILD NEGLECT, ENDANGERMENT, AND POSSIBLE ABUSE!

Yesterday a meeting was held at Hogwarts about the Twi Wizard tournament issues and a lot has come out about Hogwarts issues in the last few years! Particularly the safety issues that never seemed to be addressed! The student's safety due to past issues and new ones was put into question not only in front of the present parents but also in front of the minister himself along with the heads of the visiting schools!

For the last 3 years, it seems that Hogwarts has become a training ground with the headmaster at the reigns putting dangerous animals and cursed objects in the school with only locks that even a first-year spell can undo! Many who found out can't help but notice the correlations between all of this starting and Harry Potter's entrance to Hogwarts, especially with him having been involved in at least one dangerous situation a year with no adults in the school either aware or helping him.

Due to the Hogwarts charter, Dumbledor has already been removed as headmaster and cannot be placed back in the position. Word is that Vice Headmistress McGonnagol will not be allowed to take over due to her negligence in multiple situations, though it is noted that she was never involved in planning and was against many of the objects and animals being placed in the school and she admits to having tried to schedule meetings with the governors to inform them and try to get them removed but was denied even a meeting and ignored multiple times. 

This has opened up an investigation into the school governors and it seems that we will be getting new governors soon. It was revealed many don't have children in the school anymore and others have been causing issues between the others causing chaos possibly causing the denied meetings. 

The multiple new investigations opened have many of the DMLE unable to comment though all of these court cases will be open to the public. Parents are being encouraged to check on their children and contact them if anything of interest should come to light. Major periods include the 1990, 1991, 1992, & 1993 school years, along with Hogmeads trips from the 1992 and 3 school years. 

Aurors are sending out warnings to parents of children who need to be questioned and ask the parents to join the questioning for comfort. Hogwarts parents will be welcome on Saturday to come and visit their children and check on them. Muggle-born parents will also be informed and should the muggle parents wish to personally check the child is going to be transported to the ministry to meet with their parents. 

More information will be out tomorrow as we learn it!


The room was silent as she finished reading the article. Until Mrs.Weasley started chuckling suddenly making the whole room look to her confused. She only managed to get out "I can't wait for the letters to go out and get to Hogwarts!" Aurora simply smirked as she spilled her tea looking rather frightening as if they hadn't known she was on their side. The two matriarchs shared a look and giggled before they started passing out breakfast. Like they didn't help plan that article that would simultaneously panic parents and most likely get multiple people fired.

"Mum, Gran...you scare me sometimes...", Harry whispered out seeming to echo around the table with the rest of them nodding and agreeing with him. Both women simply smiled at him and hummed a jolly toon ignoring the looks.
