by Rita Skeeter[/center]
Under the cover of darkness, a team of aurors was dispatched late last night to transport some of the most dangerous and vile inhabitants of Azkaban. These demonic souls were Death Eaters close to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, due for trial and sentencing in the Wizengamot Chambers this coming week. These wretched souls maimed and dismembered the British aurors and disappeared into the wind, no doubt looking for more innocent wizarding children to kill. The Ministry of Magic offered this official statement: [b]"We are using all resources available to use to capture the escaped individuals. Anyone with information should contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement immediately via our Floo Powder tipline. Please exercise reasonable caution until further notice."[/b]

For those parents dropping off their children at King's Cross today, perhaps it's time to invest in some anti-dark devices? Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was not available for comment... You would hope that the safety of his students remains the top priority at Hogwarts - rather than tearful pondering of his explicit relationship with the previous Dark Lord!

[b][color=41700D]Magic:[/color][/b] N/A [/center][hr]	"Alright, you're all set luv," Paige's father said with a cheeky grin, ruffling his daughter's hair to her annoyance. Her mother hadn't managed to come to drop her off this year for the Hogwarts Express - with the escaped Death Eaters, the editor of the Daily Prophet had assigned her to apparate around the country, interviewing family members of the murdered aurors. "Don't get into too much trouble, alright?"

	[color=41700D]"Pfft, since when do I get into trouble?"[/color] she replied with a smirk. She took after her father in the troublemaking department - he had practically set a record at Hogwarts for the number of detentions he had served for Gryffindor. [color=41700D]"And you've done far worse, Father dearest - or did someone else try to bring the Giant Squid as his date to the Celestial Ball?"[/color] 

	Her father shook his head. "If you're going to get up to mischief, young lady - [i]which I completely do NOT approve of, especially if your mum is asking[/i] - at least try not to get caught. The poor school owls are overworked as it is."

	[color=41700D]"Alright, alright, I swear Dad,"[/color] Paige giggled, before giving him a hug. The train was going to leave at eleven sharp and she didn't want to be on the platform still when the scarlet steam engine pulled out. A few kids last year had missed the train and it had been awkward to see them come in halfway through the feast. [color=41700D]"I'll see you at Christmas,"[/color] she promised, before climbing onto the train. Her stuff was already in one of the compartments. Turning her head over her shoulder to wave goodbye, her father was gone. 

	There were about thirty compartments, with Paige occupying the thirteenth one from the front of the train. The first compartment was reserved for the prefects. Shutting the door behind her, she went up to her cat, Hestia, and let her out of her carrier. Paige figured she'd change into her robes later - it was a long journey to reach Hogwarts from King's Cross. [color=41700D]"How are you feeling, baby?"[/color] she mumbled, scratching Hestia behind her ears.
