DUMBLEDORE DEAD!
DUMBLEDORE'S CORPSE FOUND IN HIS OFFICE!
THE NEW DARK LORD HAS STRUCK AGAIN!
Last night, dear readers, the Ministry of Magic tried to contact Dumbledore to find out where he had been hiding during the war, to see if they could use it to hide some of the more at risk people from our Azkaban escapees. When they had had no response for the entire day, they flooed into Hogwarts to speak to him.
Of course, we all know that the Hogwarts floo is attached to the Headmaster's office.
Upon arrival, a horrible sight met them.
Dumbledore was tied to his chair, ropes so tight they cut his skin, his beard wrapped tightly around his throat. His lemon drop bowl (yes, to those readers who do not know, Dumbledore was quite fond of lemon drops) had been completely smashed and the entire office was covered with these sour yellow candies.
However, that was not the worst bit, my loyal readers, his body was entirely descarated and deformed. Yes, our nine criminals have made it to one Albus Dumbledore.
Long gashes slashed their way all across his body. His robes were so dark and sticky with blood, that it is impossible to know what the original colour was. His nose had been brutally cut from his face, his ears, his eyes and his tinge were removed also, his dying hands clutched these, fingers reduced to ribbons, bones showing through the crimson, and his face had nine names cut quite deeply into it.
Hermione Granger.
Ron Weasley.
Luna Lovegood.
Ginny Weasley.
Draco Malfoy.
George Weasley.
Neville Longbottom.
The undead Fred Weasley.
And Harry Potter, the Dark Lord.
On his scarlet-covered back, a message had been carved.
To those who have wronged us, my mistake.
To the entirety of Wizarding Britain, we were innocent. The only person, I, Harry Potter, had killed was Voldemort. The only crimes, I, Hermione Granger, had committed were helping Sirius Black escape, with Dumbledore's help, and obliviating my parents. I, Ronald Weasley, have not committed any crimes. I, Ginny Weasley, have not committed any crimes. I, Luna Lovegood, have not committed any crimes. I, Neville Longbottom, have not committed any crimes. I, George Weasley, have not committed any crimes. The only crime, I, Fred Weasley, have committed is dying and coming back to life. The only crime, I, Draco Malfoy, have committed, is crucioing one person, being forced to take the dark mark, and letting the Death Eaters into Hogwarts.
We swear on our magic, so mote it be.
Signing off,
Rita Skeeter.
