HARRY POTTER: THE BOY WHO LIVED FOUND DEAD IN LONDON HOME
Harry Potter was found dead this morning by his wife, Ginevra Potter, in their London home. The two retirees had planned to attend the public forum held later today by the Ministry in regards to the growing Squib population. Harry Potter, a known advocate for Muggle relations, was expected to give a speech at the event.
Investigators state that there are currently no signs of foul play, but that a full-fledged investigation will continue. Reports state that Ginevra Potter had called their eldest son, James Potter, with concerns of a break in August 30th.
James Potter, who was at the Potter residence in London this morning, confirms that there was no one present in the home, and they took extra precautions with charms and illusions to insure their safety.
“It’s devastating,” James Potter stated. “You never expect something like this. You think you have more time with someone. I miss him already.”
A memorial will be held in his honor tonight inside the Ministry of Magic. Minister Wallace Wallerbey invites every wizard and witch who wishes to pay their respects and join in fellowship and remembrance of a historical figure and a long-time hero. It is unknown at this time if every family member will be able to attend.

WIZARDS AGAINST SQUIB POLICING A TARGET FOR TERROR
The Wizards Against Squib Policing, or WASP, held their first meeting at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade last night. A group of the extremist group Keep It Pure (KIP) entered soon after to state their opposition. Witnesses state a fight ensued, and it is speculated that illegal charms were cast.
The organization known as WASP is led by retired Auror Jamis Ubunt and has been threatened on multiple occasions through howlers. Threats of violence and even deaths have been issued to members as aggressors state they will research and hunt down everyone involved. Despite the warnings, WASP gathered at the Three Broomsticks as scheduled. The attack suffered no casualties, though three patrons had to be rushed to the hospital.
“We knew going in that there would be risks,” Ubunt said in the aftermath. “The owner of the Three Broomsticks knew, and if it wasn’t for his quick thinking I think this could have been a lot worse.”
The organization plans to spearhead plans to further integrate Muggles and Squib into the wizarding world. Due to the nature of the organization, affiliated parties have wished to remain anonymous. Jamis Ubunt asks that if anyone wishes to get in contact with WASP for whatever reason to speak with him and respect the anonymity of the group.
Due to the damage sustained from the attack, the Three Broomsticks will be closed for repairs.

WITCHES IN SEARCH FOR CONTROVERSIAL REMEDIES
The rise in squib births in the past decade has nearly quadrupled. Statistics show that since ten years ago the numbers have gone from a 1 in 1000 chance of giving birth to a squib to 1 in 50 chance. Healers and St. Mungo’s have been monitoring the change, and a dedicated team of Healers have been assigned to the case in search for a cure or a cause.
But for many witches, the notion of research isn’t enough. Patty Kaprelli, an expectant mother, is one of many witches to explore their options to insure their child does not end up a squib.
“It’s bad enough sometimes to bring a child into the world who is only Half-Blood,” Kaprelli expressed. “A squib is devastating not just to the family line, but to the child as well. We need to make sure magic doesn’t die out. Blood purity is even more important now than ever.”
Cases have shown a rapid decline in Muggle born witches and wizards from 1 in 40 to 1 in 200 in the past ten years. Muggle experts within the Ministry of Magic suggest the possibility that the magical gene is being inadvertently bred out. Whatever the case, it hasn’t stopped women of the wizarding world looking for a remedy no matter the cost.
Kaprelli has been working closely with Muggle doctors to fund and test genetically enhancing medicines and stem cell research to help preserve or strengthen the genes that give a person their magical capabilities. Working so closely and openly with Muggles has sparked some controversy, and the Ministry monitors the business closely to insure the wizarding world is kept secret and safe.
“Rest assured there is no threat,” Minister Wallace Wallerbey stated to the press. “Unbreakable Vows were set in place. We are safe from harm, and hope the best for those involved.”
