THE DELUSIONS OF GEORGIA GLINT
The trial of ex-Auror Georgia Glint was held yesterday by the Wizengamot. She stood accused of conspiring to release a prisoner (Joss Nuskull) from Azkaban and elope with said prisoner. She was trialled by a full court.
After the evidence against her was read, Glint admitted guilt to the accusations and was sentenced to twenty years in Azkaban. The Prophet has been unable to confirm if she and Nuskull will have adjoining cells.
This case has been taken up by the public, and a Ministry Spokesperson had to assuage them with this address: “Unfortunately the ex-Auror Georgia Glint has been convicted of conspiring to release a prisoner from Azkaban and has thus been sentence to twenty years in said prison, we hope that you will join us in applauding this journey to justice-“ At this point the spokesperson was forced to retreat under a shower of hexes from a protesting mob.

AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE GRYFFINDOR CHAMPION!
We were all shocked and surprised when the Goblet of Fire chose two Hogwarts champions to compete in the celebrated Triwizard Tournament. I caught up with our Gryffindor champion and finally got the juice we've all been longing to hear.
Can you describe your feelings when you were chosen as Hogwarts Champion?
Well, I was surprised and excited all at the same time. I have always done Quidditch and I never really expected to be picked as Hogwart's Champion. I mean, you have everyone in my year and school and I got that chance to bring honor to my school and my family. I was excited, no doubt about it.
What’s your relationship like with Tom Riddle, the other Hogwarts Champion? Well, Tom and I have never gotten along... I always had a bad feeling about him the moment I met him. The other Champions... Well, Alec seems to be okay, he is dating my friend Emma Richardson and I don't see anything wrong with him. He came and visited me after the first task when I was in the hospital for some broken ribs.
[/div]
How would you summarise your performance in the First Task, where you faced a Chinese Fireball?
It was by far scary and thrilling all at the same time. I did my best and I fought hard. I have heard that the Horntail is the most fierce, but I was not going to allow myself to slack off during that task just because mine was not as fierce... They are dragons, they are dangerous, and I made sure not to let me guard down.
How are you feeling going into the second task?
Nervous... I mean, it is a test and even though I am prepared, it is still not going to be easy and I am going to give my 110% or more to complete it in a quick fashion.
And finally one for the ladies out there… is there a special someone in your life at the moment?
Not really. I have a lot of great friends who are women, but to say that I have a special someone yet... No.

MATCH OF THE MONTH: CAERPHILLY CATAPULTS V. CHUDLEY CANNONS
The crowds have reached an all-time low at the Caerphilly Catapults v. Chudley Cannon’s game. The game was not predicted to be worth the seven sickle tickets, but this reporter was informed that the games was the second worse attended in the history of Quidditch. The first was the 1894 Cannons v. Appleby Arrows game, which Arrow fans boycotted as they had been banned from firing arrows from their wands in celebration (as celebrated referee Nugent Potts had previously been pierced through the nose by said arrows). Hence the atmosphere at Exmoor
[/div]
Quidditch Stadium is distinctly quieter than usual.
The standard of play in the first ten minutes reveals why. Cannons’ captain Ben Abbott is concussed by a mishit bludger… from the bat of teammate Joey Jenkins inside the space of the first thirty seconds. It’s all downhill from there. Over the course of the next eight hours, the two teams score two goals apiece. In another eight hours, the Catapults pull ahead by one goal. The match finally ends when Abbott (who has had time to recover) agrees to concede, disgusted by the awful performance of his seeker, making the final score after three days:
Caerphilly Catapults: 80
Chudley Cannons: 40
