Special Hogwart's Edition!

by Walso Apman To celebrate the awarding of a PAWS to Professor Severus Snape of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the editors of this newspaper have put together this special edition. The PAWS (Professional Award for Wizarding Success) Research Category Award of Excellence was awarded last week to Professor Severus Snape for his article, Antidotes of the Goblin Rebellions in Potions Quarterly. Considering the fact that Professor Snape has been the school's Potions Master for only six years, this is quite an accomplishment for both him and his school. This special issue looks back at some of the events Hogwarts has experienced in his short six-year term of service. Order sponsor Dolores Umbridge promises that the new legislation would insure the prosperity and safety of wizards and witches everywhere. The cursed should not have any opportunities to spread their taint.

Suddenly, an unannounced visitor came into the stands and attempted to kidnap Gryffindor second year student Russel. Headmaster Dumbledore and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Lancaster scared off the assailant, then lead the students in a hunt for the creature in the Forbidden Forest. The score before Dumbledore called for a time out was

Hufflepuff 70, Gryffindor 50. A group of second years, lead by Russel and Dumbledore, captured the creature, a suspected werewolf. Dumbledore has turned the creature over to the Ministry of Magic, who claims the creature is Ulric Oddfellow a wizard reported missing late last year.

Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has reportedly left the country following troubles replacing Lydia Lancasters post as the Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor. With the school year right around the corner, he has left the country to secure a new teacher for the post according to insiders. He is leaving the country while the school is still having troubles with neighboring centaurs, who blame the wizarding community for the loss of one of their own at the start of the summer.
