Eyes enlarged at the morning paper, that Saturday morning a multitude of owls flew by with copies of the Daily Prophet, throwing them carelessly down onto people's breakfast plates. Lilianne picked the rolled parchment up when her orange slices tinted the edges.
Huffing at the sticky feeling it gave, then her expression dropped. In big bold letters 'He Who Must Not Be Named Returns' could be read, suddenly she understood why people were gasping all over the room. Whatever happened could not be good, that much she knew. Her blue eyes ran over the words again and again with an anxious expression.
Written by Rita Skeeter.
Yesterday afternoon a group of brave Hogwarts students and outstanding wizards engaged in battle with notorious Death Eaters in the famously secluded Department of Mysteries in the London Ministry of Magic facilities. Reportedly, the dark wizards wished to obtain weapons and heavily dangerous cursed objects from the establishment, yet they were promptly stopped by the Auror officials led by Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts' third-year student and headmaster.
In this very encounter, several Ministry clerks present at the moment declare the presence of He Who Must Not Be Named. Who fought directly against Dumbledore when he attempted to escape with his followers.
The event had only one casualty, the Azkaban escapee Sirius Black, who presumably attended to aid his master. As such, many of the Death Eaters were caught and are now in confinement awaiting trial.

Some of the sentences contradicted each other, and Lilianne knew better than to believe everything the Daily Prophet printed, but against her intuition, she opened page thirteen. Her vision scanned the small boxes, 'Rumours of resignation', 'Legal advice for the lightly involved', 'Top ten defence spells every wizard should know', 'Recalling the first wizarding war'. It all blurred her thoughts, it was not what she wanted to read, she turned the page and finally saw the issue. Skimming through the words to find what she wanted.
