PRICELESS ARTIFACT STOLEN FROM MYSTERIES
This weekend's "minor mishap" in the Department of Mysteries was not so minor as they Prophet would have you believe. No! It was, in fact, a break in! It's true, the most secretive arm of the Ministry was infiltrated Friday morning by SPIES from a group based in Northern Ireland.
Our inside source told reporters yesterday that the downplayed incident lead to the hospitalization of at least one Unspeakable and ended in the theft of an item of undisclosed nature. Though the injuries sustained reportedly kept the Unspeakable in St. Mungo's until Saturday, the most troubling question becomes what was stolen, and how will it be used against YOU? Who are the spies working for? Who are they supplying? What do they want? And how did they break into the most secure wing of the Ministry? If you have any information or concerns, let us know!

MUTANT MUGGLE MONSTROSITIES MASTICATE MALEVOLENTLY
by R.A. Hunter
Romanian witches and wizards have recently difficulties with a curious form of airborne pest. This pest, a worm-like creature which seems to dwell and reproduce in clouds, fall to the ground at sporadic intervals and voraciously devour all life forms with which they come into contact with. Investigators from the Romanian Ministry of Magic have reason to believe that the worms are the result of Muggle "greenhouse gases" causing dangerous mutations in a previously benign creature.
Locals are relieved to have on hand the help of workers at the highly respect and internationally famous Centre for the Preservation and Proliferation of Dragonkind, who have effectively put the dragons on the preserve to work at taking care of the harmful pest, which has proven vulnerable to fire and nitric acid (HNO3).

MINISTRY LISTENING IN! YOUR PRIVACY & PERSONAL SAFETY AT RISK!
Though few were fool enough to be calmed by the Ministry's assurances last week about supposedly routine floo testing, there seemed little room to avoid the unwanted invasion, as surely that's what it was. With floos in nearly every wizarding home and business, Locke and his Ministry have unbridled access to all of us- whether we like it or not. While their claims of maintenance may have had some grounding in truth, a number of odd occurrences the past week point to something far more sinister.
Gerthia Lane of Cornwall reported hearing noises in her floo late last Tuesday but, assuming it was standard, she carried on with her evening and went to bed. Upon waking, she found her home ransacked and a painting missing from her kitchen wall.
"It was my grandfather's portrait," she complained. "The man gave more advice than you ever wanted but Merlin's beard, he knew how to cook."
Ms. Lane's was not the only break in during the week. Several more were scattered across Great Britain and as many as fifty two homes reported suspicious noises, bumps, and even voices coming from their floos even after the tests were supposed to have ended. After one man's neighbor disappeared last Thursday, he promptly bricked over his floo and has been urging others to do the same.
"Only way to be sure I'm not next isn't it?" he asked, requesting that his name not be used. "All of you! Do you want the Ministry in your homes? If not, you'd better do like I have! Protect yourselves!"
Whether there was a larger plan behind the spy testing or if the attacks were random, remains to be seen. In the mean time, we urge our readers to watch out for themselves, friends, and family.
