Scenes of Terror at the Quidditch World Cup and The Boy Who Killed!

By Rita Skeeter

It was in the after-hours of the World Cup and the Ireland victory that they struck, It was early in the morning when they struck,

It was when security, whom the Ministry of Magic had sworn was there had slacked off with drinks and parties, that they struck.

Men in dark robes and white masks marched through the tents burning and cursing everyone and anyone in their way be they native or foreigner, muggleborn or pure-blood, it did not matter to them.

To most of the natives of the Wixen islands, this sight brought up nightmares of the recent past as with the rise of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Name and his reign of terror from the late 70s to the early 80s, back when his followers did the same thing.

Miraculously, there have been no reports of any civilian deaths, even the Muggles caught in the crossfire of these heinous actions are reported to make a full recovery, and other than a few minor injuries, there was no one majorly hurt and the mob of masked and robed individuals were sent running from the campgrounds shortly after they began their attack.

"But, Rita, how were they stopped? Did the Aurors show up in time?"

I can hear you ask my dear reader, but like always the Aurors were always a step behind and far too slow.

With such lax security, the dark mob marched unopposed in what has to be the biggest national disgrace since the scandalous trials of the early 80s that saw how close You-Know-Who was to winning, but the mob was stopped, and while most of the culprits were not apprehended, three were found dead and another unconscious.

While the names of the deceased and the one unconscious culprit have yet to be released due to it being an ongoing investigation, we do however have the name of the one responsible for stopping the culprits. For when the Aurors had finally shown up (Late, as they always are,) they found one,

Harry James Potter(Age: 14) standing amongst the bodies and the bloodshed, that's right my dear readers, our very own Boy Who Lived was the one responsible for stopping the march of terror.

Harry Potter was found with a weapon in hand, and it wasn't a wand, but a Muggle Bow that brought down these mask madmen.

Questions abounded surrounding the event: Why did Harry Potter use a Muggle weapon in the brutal killings? Where was event security during this attack?

Were the men responsible old followers of the Dark Lord?

What will happen to Harry Potter now?

All these questions and more, along with the identities of the dead at Mister Potter's hands will be answered in due time, so stay tuned my lovely reads for all these answers and more.
