revolt of the dementors of Azkaban, who have shown
themselves averse to continuing in the Ministry's em-
ploy. We believe that the dementors are currently tak-
ing direction from Lord — Thingy.
We urge the magical population to remain vigi-
lant. The Ministry is currently publishing guides to
elementary home and personal defense that will be
delivered free to all Wizarding homes within the
coming month."
The Minister's statement was met with dismay and
alarm from the Wizarding community, which as re-
cently as last Wednesday was receiving Ministry as-
surances that there was "no truth whatsoever in these
persistent rumors that You-Know-Who is operating
amongst us once more."
Details of the events that led to the Ministry turn-
around are still hazy, though it is believed that He-

The Death Eaters involved in the attack on
the Ministry have all been captured and sent
to Azkaban, although rumors persist that
Bellatrix Lestrange, known Death Eater and

named by the Boy Who Lived in his ex-

It should relieve the Wizarding public
to know that many of the Death Eaters
who escaped in January have been re-
turned to Azkaban, including Evander
Mulciber, Caledon Avery, and brothers
Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange.

been returned to Azkaban, and Vincent Crabbe
