Great Britain has been waiting with baited breath for news about the welfare of their newly elected Minister for Magic, Miss Hermione Dumbledore.
Miss Dumbledore had been last seen with her fiancée, Tom Riddle, entering the Ministry's election night banquet this past Saturday evening.
At 7:36pm, as the election votes were being tallied, it came to the attention of the DMLE that Miss Dumbledore was missing. All signs pointed to kidnapping.
Upon investigation, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has determined that the goblins of Gringotts were to blame for Minister Dumbledore's disappearance.
Due to the uncovering of their cursed gold plot by Hermione Dumbledore last year and the creation of a new wizarding bank, the bloodthirsty goblins sought vindication and revenge.
While only three goblins were present during the altercation, further investigation by way of legilimency has revealed that there were many goblins involved in this plot.
Two of said goblins involved were found dead at the scene.
The remaining offenders have been apprehended and now await trial in Azkaban prison.
As a result, Gringotts bank has been seized by the ministry, and hearings will be conducted over the summer to determine the future of the bank's ownership.
For the time being, goblin rights have been revoked and will be carefully monitored going forward.
As for our new Minister, she is doing well, and sustained no wounds from the incident, according to Amelia Bones, head nurse at St. Mungo's Hospital.
Her inauguration celebration is scheduled to be held one fortnight from Friday at the London home of the popular singer, Celestina Warbeck.
"Hermione will be resting for the remainder of the week, but she is anxious to step up to the plate as Minister for Magic," says Tom Riddle, Miss Dumbledore's dashing husband-to-be.

Tom sat in a corner booth of the White Wyvern. Across from him sat Rosier and Rowle.
Hermione was at Hogwarts visiting with Dumbledore, so Tom wasn't too concerned with her safety for the afternoon.
"Well, well, well..." Tom muttered acidly. "Here we are."
"My Lord, I swear, I had no idea what they were planning," said Rosier, his face pale. "I was right there with you and Winnie that night."
Tom watched him for a moment, then his eyes flicked to Rowle.
"I'll be honest, my Lord, I did hear them talking about her, and how they needed to do something, but... I thought it was just a lot of jawing about.. I didn't think they would actually do something. Not with Dolohov already in piles of shit and Walburga having pledged her family's loyalty.... and Abraxas ! Salazar's name..." he said, shaking his head in disbelief. "I swear I had no thought, not even a hint of an idea that he would have done something like this."
Tom lit a cigarette.
"Yes, well... I may not be able to kill him... yet ," he said resentfully. "But rest assured, he is going to wish he'd never been born."
Rosier gulped.
"We don't need Malfoy," Rowle spat. "He's always been a bloody prat."
Tom raised an eyebrow. " We ?"
