Front Page News

A Warning about Potential Vigilante Activity Very serious reports have surfaced of a vigilante group who has been performing overnight patrols, violently engaging with fellow citizens, and trespassing onto government and private property without authorization. No members of the group, yet unnamed according to current knowledge, have been identified by are said to typically don dark street clothing and conceal their faces care of upturned hoods. The Ministry reminds all citizens that it DOES NOT ENDORSE vigilante justice activities and that serious penalties are in place for those that engage, up to and including sentenced time in Azkaban prison. The Auror and other departments of the government have full faith in their abilities to deal with the growing, mysterious acts of violence that have been seen throughout the past two years and reminds its citizens that the best way for them to help in making our world a safer place is to obey curfew, keep their heads down, and remain trustful of the proper authorities.

Break-Ins Declared a Hoax – By Vince Sinclair After an ongoing investigation into the string of break-ins happening in both Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village, the Ministry of Magic has officially declared the case closed and has stated that it warrants no further examination or resources. Citing a lack of evidence, motive and a common thread between the crimes, the Ministry has tentatively chalked the incidents up to teenage mischief. All citizens are reminded to lock and ward their doors overnight.

POLITICAL NEWS

Muggle Queen's Corgi Turns Into Hamster – By Vince Sinclair The Muggles were left scratching their heads today as their Queen's corgi changed into a hamster. Luckily enough for us they just thought that the corgi had been stolen and a hamster put in its place as a cruel joke. There if now a full scale hunt on for the real corgi which, of course, will not be found. The Ministry of Magic are looking into this matter. The Improper Use of Magic Office have a few suspects they are questioning about the incident. A motive for the attack if not known but further attacks on public Muggle figures would not help us one bit. The International Federation of Warlocks is also meeting to discuss the incident. The Daily Prophet will keep you up to date on further news on that story tomorrow. [source]

St. Culpo Makes Splash in Improper Use Department In a position made available to her following the special Wizengamot election win by former competitor Piper Moonfall, the youthful Ms. St. Culpo has been making waves as Auror Department liaison for the Improper Use of Magic Office. Staying true to her original campaign strategy slogan of ‘equal society, happier world,’ Ms. St. Culpo has scheduled a series of workshop sessions with the Auror Department to examine the way marginalized communities in the Wizarding World are delivered justice, as well as a planned panel from notable financial experts from Ministries abroad about policies that can move the needle on income disparity without triggering inflation.

Norwood Examines Statute of Secrecy Another candidate keeping true to her original platform is newly-minted Wizengamot member Tara Norwood. Sources within the council have informed the Daily Prophet that Norwood is seeking preemptive votes for a forthcoming bill that would tighten the Statute of Secrecy to no longer allow muggleborn members of the Wizarding community to disclose their magical status to members of even their immediate families without consequence.

THE SOCIETY PAGES

A Wedding Date Set A date of 23 July, 1978 has been officially announced for the nuptials of Mr. Rodolphus Lestrange – eldest son of Tiernan Lestrange and his wife, and heir to the Lestrange family – and Miss Bellatrix Black, eldest daughter of Cygnus Black and his wife, Druella. The couples ask that, in lieu of gifts, any well-wishers may donate to a charitable cause close to their own heart, particularly if their heart is close to the Society for the Preservation of Historical Magic, which both Mrs. Lestrange and Mrs. D Black sit on the board of. The family wishes to remind the general public that the event is invitation-only, although unaffiliated well-wishers are still welcome to send charitable donations or a card of congratulations.

The Sisters’ Keeper Pureblood society watchers – aided, in part, by unofficial tabloid The Rumor Mill – have noted the apparent breakup of rising political consultant Sebastian Nott and Andromeda Black, the yet-unpromised second daughter of Cygnus Black and his wife, Druella. Curiosity was recently generated when Mr. Nott was seen out to dinner in Hogsmeade visiting with Cygnus and Druella’s youngest daughter, Narcissa Black, in the stead of her older sister.

JAMES POTTER ♦︎ GRYFFINDOR ALUMNUS ♦︎ ORDER OF THE PHOENIX ♦︎ FC: ALBERTO ROSENDE ♦︎ TAKEN

B I O G R A P H Y :

I. THE BENJAMIN BUTTON

By all accounts, James was born to people that should’ve been great-grandparents. Euphemia was far too old to have children, and it was a surprise to everyone when she gave birth to her son. A little and somewhat sickly boy, he grew, and grew stronger. He looked out of place, and people always asked what had happened to his parents to make it so his grandparents had to raise him. It was always met with a joking response. One thing James Potter never understood was how to be serious.

II. THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD

Eleven years old, and the Hogwarts Express carried him to a whole new life. A glorious life, really, and one that James was beyond excited to enter. Finally, to meet people his own age– he’d been a social boy in his childhood, but never in his life had he been so surrounded by people with less than a ten years’ age difference from him– and go to school was a wonder. He was quick to make friends, and eager to prove himself. Quick-witted little boy, not cruel but stupid, that didn’t know how to be mature. One thing James Potter never understood was how to keep his mouth shut.

III. THE WOLF, THE DOG, THE RAT, THE STAG

Having a werewolf in the family was a bit of a challenge, really. A challenge to solve, not one to accept. He took it in his stride, and they set out to change things. To discover, to learn, to help. He was eager to make it work, and happy to try. He didn’t always succeed, but when did he ever? One thing that James Potter never understood was how to back down from a challenge.

IV. THE WAKEUP CALL

Fifth year was the start of it. Being yelled at wasn’t new, but being yelled at by Lily Evans and seeing the harshness and cruelty that folly and impulsiveness brought on was a startling discovery, and one that changed him. He had to grow up. He had to be better, not just of himself but of Severus Snape. It was a standard he should have down by now, and the fact that in his own way, he didn’t, was beyond alarming. Time to grow up. He was silent for a week, processing and determining, before he pushed up his glasses and started trying to keep his mouth shut. One thing that James Potter never understood was how people could never change.

V. THE BROTHER

Sirius on his doorstep was the happiest and saddest day of his life. He was glad to have him, his brother, his friend, his life partner, with him, but he tried to hide it. It was selfish to be happy, it was selfish to feel pleasure at it, but he did. He supported and he cared for and he barely spent a moment not holding onto Sirius, but inside, he was smiling. One thing that James Potter never understood was that other people could love Sirius Black as much as he did.

VI. THE REWRITE

Graduation wasn’t how he expected it to be, and it hurt. One failed future, and James had to reimagine everything. He tried, he focused, he doubled down, and eventually, he figured it out. The decision to join the Order was an easier one, and he didn’t hesitate. The war was terrifying, and he was scared– scared for his friends, for his family, for his brothers, for Lily. He couldn’t protect everyone, but they were the four that he needed to get through this. One thing that James Potter would never understand was that he was allowed to come first when it came to survival.
