Spotlight Weekly (Special Daily Prophet Edition)

[Deleted]

Welcome to the first edition of Alyssa Fae Nigthingale's Spotlight Weekly a special editorial subscription of the Daily Prophet where Fae put's her investigate traits to work and put's a wizard or witch on the Spotlight or different accusations and claims throughout the world, and examines it all and writes to tell the real truth to the public. It's time the public knows everything, not just what journalists are told to cover and write. Do our elected members abuse their powers? What is with the new Headmaster, and how did he get the job? Is the Minister behind the attacks? Is this all a cover up for a coup that was done by the Ministry? We examine all the accusations and tell you the truth her. Our first edition brings you to shocking news we have learned on how Burt Reynolds may have gained his position as Headmaster. Have an idea for Spotlight Weekly, PM Fae Nightingale.

BURT’S IRON FIST OF POWER, SOURCES TELL ALL

A month ago when the Governing Board of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry announced that current Transfiguration Professor, and former Head Auror and Deputy of the Magical Law Enforcement Department Burt Wick Reynolds, was being appointed as Headmaster it raised more than just a few eyebrows. Parents, ministry members, and even some Professors spoke out and raised questions about his sudden appointment as Headmaster. One Professor who asked to stay anonymous told us after Burt was appointed : "It seems a bit sudden to be appointed headmaster so soon...maybe he had a helping hand, but to be honest as long as he has the school and the students' best interest at heart-- then I can't complain.”

However; not all people are rushing to defend Reynolds on his appointment. Our undisclosed source close to the Board of Governors who we call Lyon told us that “Reynolds rules the board, with an iron first. He is closing the castle off from any other grips of power”. Recent actions done by Burt have also shown this as Lyon says he has “requested changes of several Ministry education policies—that would lower influence of the Ministry on Hogwarts”. Such changes would mean that Reynolds would have more choice and power over the education at Hogwarts and wouldn’t need the Ministry’s approval on everything.

The Board of Governors in response to such accusations and questions that have risen since the appointment released this statement last week: “We fully stand by Headmaster Reynolds and reject any idea of bribery, or threats involved in his appointment. He was appointed because of his experience, his ability to get things done, and the willingness to make the hard choices. The board also fully supports his pushes for the dire education reform Hogwarts has needed for so long”.

Such quote is not surprising coming from a board that apparently is “eating from the hands of Avyanna Rose” according to Lyon. Reynolds also has gotten the defense of Avyanna Fawn Rose, a famous education author and Head of the Department of Magical Education, Rose use to also sit on the board for almost a decade. Rose declined to comment for us on this story however she did release a statement last night defending Burt and the Board, saying “Headmaster Reynolds has done so much not for only the school of Hogwarts, and its students but for the entire wizarding world. His leadership is greatly needed at a period like this, and to question such sound judgments from the board is on the lines of treason”. Currently, it is unknown how Rose and Reynolds know each other or if they do, as not many can remember seeing them together ever in public

We must be on the grounds of treason everyone, and so must be two other of our sources, both close to the Ministry and Hogwarts. Another professor at Hogwarts who asked to go by Repaer told us after Burt was appointed Headmaster: "Old man Burt, or should I say headmaster as he prefers. Is a power hungry, control seeking person. And if I were him I would stop using and trying to gain power just so he can get what he wants, because power corrupts when used for self gain." Also, another source one in the Ministry and works in Burt’s former department, who asked to go by as Grim told us that: "Ha, you want my honest opinion. I think he is using any means necessary to get what he wants, even dark magic, bribery, and threatening people. Oh and he is quite egotistical and better watch himself, or I will end him." With all of these sources speaking out now, one must wonder exactly was the Board’s thinking on placing Burt as Headmaster, and was in fact unethical conduct present and used to get him the appointment. Such questions can only be answered through a complete investigation which something the Department of Magical Education office said “would be a waste of department personnel time and energy”.

Stay Tune to the next edition of Hotseat Weekly, where another witch or wizard is put in the hot seat and actions examined.

DWIGHT STUNS THE WORLD

Those who run closely in political and educational circles may have been stunned by this sudden news that just broke over the week. Like I reported in our previous edition Hogwarts Headmaster Burt Reynolds had a few people who opposed his appointment as Headmaster and along with some of his current proposals to change educational decrees. One of those strongest attacks of Reynolds was Myron Dwight Winterfield, better known as “D.W.”, the Senior Undersecretary for the Minister. If you’re unsure what that title means, it means he is number two person in charge of the Ministry and a big pain in the ass with our current Minister. Dwight opposed Reynolds so much he tried to get a special order approved by the Wizengamont to prevent his appointment, however it failed and that was due to solely Reynolds influence in the Ministry at the time.

In the recent weeks Dwight has been using his influence including to insiders at the Ministry to “slow down Reynolds educational decree proposals”. The insiders didn’t even need to tell us because Dwight three weeks ago told one of our reporters in a press briefing “Those educational decree changes he is pushing are dangerous, and I will wrap them in as much red tape to slow them down!”. Dwight is not a man known to keep silent in public, and he doesn’t shy from political fights, this ladies and gentlemen is our political boxer and idol. However; it made very much more surprising when just last week Dwight held a sudden press conference where he gave a statement, taking no questions by the way, reversing his position on Reynolds educational decree changes. “After much thought and consideration, and one on one talks with Headmaster Reynolds I have came to see his view on why these proposals should be passed, and I am herby reversing my position and fully endorsing them and will help them pass the Ministry of Magic requirements, so the Headmaster may continue his meaningful reform of Hogwarts”

If you don’t keep up with magical politics of who wants to be Minister, this is a huge earthquake everyone. It is no secret that our current second in command is not happy with his boss, making snide comments about him to reporters, honestly everyone this D.W. is a journalist’s dream of a politician, and one that does not hide anything about anyone he says. Remember his comment on the Minister when he got his job, I still have chills from it: “Guess the Wizengamont felt we needed a simple dumb GIT in such a dire time of crisis, the man is a joke and not even a funny one”. Dwight has apparently also made moves to start a campaign very early on to run against the Minister in the next Minister of Magic elections. So why now all of sudden has made this sudden flip flop on dear old Reynolds who once compared to Voldemort himself, yes he did when Reynolds left the Ministry in 2017 saying “Well the Voldemort of the Ministry has left after a very long awkward stay working in our Magical Law Enforcement department but, now unfortunately he is becoming the Voldemort of Hogwarts insetad of just dying like he should"

Sources are saying that the winds of politics and power are moving and changing which has caused Dwight to reverse position and back Reynolds. Our insider Lyon close to the Governing Board of Hogwarts told us “Dwight has realized that Reynolds has out maneuvered him on this issue, and is seeing he needs to get behind Reynolds, if he wants any influence left”. Most of our political experts have came up with that reason as the most logical and explainable one that it is politics as usual. However; could something much sinister lurking here? Is this dark magic at work? Has the Voldemort of Hogwarts found a way to blackmail Dwight? So many questions and theory’s are starting to buzz around, and we except them to get strong over the next few weeks. Stay tune to our next post, where we attempt to discover more about this real-life political power struggle, going on amidst a huge crisis

POTTER BREAKS HIS SILENCE ON MINISTER!

Well it seems the Minister for Magic and even the Senior Undersecretary for Minister have gotten under the skin of famous Harry Potter, current Head of the Auror Office. Potter is mostly famous for defeating Lord Voldemort, twice in fact. I had the honor of sitting down with Mr. Potter and he told me about his issues with the current Minister of Magic on the assignments of Aurors, and his leadership during the current crisis that the Minister seams not to recognize. It seems our current Minister has been stationing Aurors at the Ministry rather than the wizarding world, basically keeping them inside and away from looking for a killer. We’ve already reported before on the current Minister and the many people who have publically made it known they do not care for it, however; Potter is going further. When I sat down with him he not only questioned the Minister’s leadership on the entire issue but made it quite clear the Minister was dead wrong and should let Harry control his Aurors to help protect the wizarding world. In our conversation, Mr. Potter gave me a statement he wanted me to include in our edition this week, and here it is a statement concerning our current Minister of Magic

“"So I could lose my job over this. But it is worth it. The minister is acting just like Fudge did when Voldemort came back. He basically has us, by that I mean the Aurors on house arrest. While our fellow Aurors, friends, and co-workers are being killed he has us all sitting here doing paperwork and other tedious things that are not going to get us anywhere to put a stop to this madness. I am not even supposed to be letting the public know that there are people being killed. But I am sure they all realize what has and is happening since that first year muggleborn witch was killed on the train ride to Hogwarts. So all in all the minister is being a complete idiot right now."

I am sure the statement above resonates with many of our readers and they resonate with me somewhat as well. Of course our lovely Minister has no response on this article or the comments of Mr. Potter, at least not ones he would speak publically I assume. Not only did Mr. Potter wish to address his concern over the Minister but he did express confusion over the recent back pedaling of Senior Undersecretary for Minister of Magic Myron Dwight Winterfield. Dwight last week stunned us when he announced his support of Headmaster Reynolds proposed educational decree changes and removals. He had opposed Reynolds many times over such proposals however; last week he held a press conference announcing his support for Reynolds and didn’t take any questions. Since then Dwight has apparently been helping convince the Minister to support the proposed changes. Mr. Potter expressed confusion over this all and hoped that Dwight knew what he was doing and that he wasn’t being “politically strong-armed” as some other people have said before.

Finally, we all have to know from the famous Harry Potter, the boy who lived, despite being killed twice by Voldemort basically, and eventually destroying the demon. I have been dying to know and I’m sure our readers are dying to know as well, does the famous and powerful skilled Head Auror Harry Potter believe that the current Headmaster Reynolds could protect Hogwarts and it’s students. We know some who have publically expressed doubts he could, Dwight had been part of that crowd but of course not anymore. Mr. Potter seems to give us a very fair response: "For right now I do trust him. Because if I didn't my kids nor their friends would be there this year."

What do you all think of Mr. Potter’s statements on the Minister and his leadership? Will the Minister sit down for a rebuttal interview? Will Aurors be under Harry’s control more, or did we just witness Mr. Potter effectively handing his resignation letter in? Wait till next week!

ANOTHER KILLING AT HOGWARTS!

The wizarding world has been shocked once again with another murder happening, and parents are screaming bloody Mary. Just the other night we got word that a student had been killed at Hogwarts once again, the body of the young student was found in the Forbidden Forest by another student and eventually teachers. This horrible incident could not come at a worse time when parents are already on edge with the killing of a new student on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of this term. Parents who doubted the school’s security before or raised questions are no longer doing it quietly with a few calling for the removal of Headmaster Burt Reynolds from his current position. Out of respect for the family of the murdered student we will not print the name but the student was a 4th year Ravenclaw, and played as a Chaser on the Qudditich team. Both students that were murdered were not of pure-blood statues leaving people to wonder if such killings are start of a third wizarding war. People are however; wondering if Hogwarts is the safe heaven that it used to be.

After news of the murder hit and parents began to be informed, the Board of Governors of Hogwarts has been flooded with letters demanding the resignation of Burt Reynolds and that extra security steps be taken to protect the school. The board did not release an official statement but our source close to them Lyons, has told us that the board “is standing behind Burt 100 percent despite the recent killing”. Such a quote from our source is not sitting well with parents who have sent letters to the Headmaster as well, demanding he take action or resign. Reynolds did contact us back when we asked for a statement providing this one below.

“What has happened is a tragedy and my thoughts are with the family of the student who was killed. I have spent my life and career fighting against the Dark Arts and such horrible crimes. I apologize that we the staff at Hogwarts were not able to protect this student. I have ordered a full review of grounds and castle on its security protections and more steps will be taken to protect all of our students and staff. I have been in touch with the Minister and requested more Auror protection of the school and its grounds, and I call on our Ministry to respond with full force and catch this killer”.

Does that statement reassure you, if you have a son or daughter attending Hogwarts? As a mother myself I feel no reassured, and others have stated they see the statement Reynolds gave as a political ploy to cover his ass. Reynolds did point out something that his second in command Professor Neville Longbottom pointed out as well, when asked if he felt the Headmaster was able to fully protect the school.

“Headmaster Reynolds isn't the only person there to protect the students. He's the one to receive the praise or blame, but Hogwarts has an entire staff of adults who all have this job. The murder in the forest is on me as much as it is him or anyone else. Could he be doing a better job? Maybe. If it were me in charge, I don't think anything I would have set up would have stopped what happened either, and there's not a lot of people who know the castle and its defenses better than I do. We failed. Not him, us.”

I will point out that we have received some letters of parents here at our office saying they do not see why Longbottom is not currently in charge of the school. It seems he is liked by the public better then Reynolds, and would trust him running the school then the current Headmaster. However; at this current time it looks like despite which way the public winds are blowing, Burt Reynolds is not going anywhere as Headmaster and we all can only hope this is the last of the killings.

ROSEBUD AND OTHERS EMERGE FROM SHADOWS

Well this is a special edition of the Spotlight weekly everyone considering the recent events that have happened in the last week I felt the need we must address them right away and try to figure out what is going on. It seems the Minister will not help protect us and these killings at Hogwarts are not just stopping at the grounds of Hogwarts. I am sure everyone has seen the news that Ezra Rose Reddington or infamously known as “Rosebud” has been spotted in the country and I mean down the street from my office! Spotted in Knockturn alley he did nothing in direct violation of the law, besides being wanted by every Ministry in the world for treason and terrorism as well as some Muggle governments now. Terrifying enough to know a man who has been rumored of out maneuvering every Auror office that’s after him and living in mansions while doing it, is back he left a note which is just idiotic in my thinking, but terrifying.

In a note left at where he was in Knockturn Alley he proclaimed that he had returned to once again reveal the corruption of the Ministry and the people in society. He once again like he always does mocked the Aurors for not being able to capture him, including his killing of what he says International Auror Jonathan Sparks. Of course this is a neither confirmed nor denied claim by the Ministry or anyone willing to comment on the subject, and no information has surfaced Sparks was a member of the International Aurors. However in this note he included a threat beyond his usual ones of spilling deep dark secrets of powerful people, he said he would be reveal the secret of the magical world to the muggle word. This is something that would change everything, the fear of persecution comes to mind for not being a half-blood or muggle-born but, being able to cast magic at all. Honestly, what does he gain from this? We have no idea unless, he is getting a nice paycheck.

The Ministry of Magic has refused to comment on this matter and Head of Advanced Guard Argus Diamond refused to comment as well. Sources say however the AG is labeled Reddington as a serious risk and threat to the Minister and the Ministry itself. It seems also that he is not the only person of the bad bunch to come into the country, recently a new person another killer who is wanted has emerged back in the country. This one decided to however take a direct approach of sending me a letter declaring his return and even saying he would kill my own daughter. I will enclose this note for my readers to see who we are truly dealing with, and I must say I feel no fear toward this man nor does my daughter, only one man we fear and he is close to dying.

Miss Nightingale,

A bit about me. Well I was born in Cork, Ireland. I was kicked out of Hogwarts when I was in my 4th year for doing things that weren't very nice and also making people . I studied In Egypt and after that well I traveled the world, and no I won't tell you what I learned on my travels. It is simple why I am here in England once more. Oh did I forget to mention that I am wanted in every single country in Europe and also Africa. Back to what I was saying before I am here to kill and torture everyone and everything. Oh and if you see some grim roaming around, his name is death, for I am death. And no I don't hate just muggles, muggleborns, and halfbloods, but I hate purebloods as well. I have a list of certain people who are among the first ones to go, but I won't tell you who they are yet, you will just have to wait for them to be found tortured and dead. Oh this is just to much fun, oh and did I mention that your children especially your daughter is on my list of first to go. You might want to tell her not to go to Hogsmeade at any time. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You see isn't this fun, so say what you want about me in you newspaper and you must tell people about me or it will be your daughter that pays the price.

HAVE A NICE DAY

ANTON LAPORTE
Anton Don Lorpte is his name and as you can see from the letter he was even kicked out of Hogwarts in his fourth year. It might be worth mentioning that both Ian Olethrus Owens currently, a high security prisoner in Azkaban for his own role in second wizarding war and overthrow of the Ministry and Reddington never were kicked out of Hogwarts. Maybe they aren’t as evil as this guy? Or maybe they are smarter? You can tell the man is a sadistic evil bastard and would fit well into Azkaban, which is the home of Owens after killing my daughter and husband. Either way our readers must know this killings have seem to be a call to all for everyone to come to this blood spill. These are not players we want in another wizarding war. If the Ministry shall not protect us and inform us of what is going on, and warn the public of these beasts then we here at the Daily Prophet will make it our number one priority even more so. Stay tune to our next entry, it is time we take the Ministry to task.
