GARDENER DIGS UP GRAND PRIZE
A raid at the Malfoy manor uncovered several bottles of very dangerous poisons, Ministry of Magic officials announced.  Lucius Malfoy, a former supporter of You-Know-Who, declined owning the potions.  "No matter what they say, I do not own deadly poisons, and never will!" Malfoy told reporters yesterday.  Despite his claims, Malfoy was fined 150 Galleons for owning, in total, 7 bottles of deadly liquid.  The bottles were found under the manor's drawing room floor, in a chamber carefully concealed by a rug.  Arthur Weasely, head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, said of discovering the potions, "I had a tip from my youngest son Ron, who is a schoolmate of Lucius Malfoy's son."  He then added in a much colder tone, "Not that I want him to be."  Mr. Malfoy will be tried on 3 March.
RAID AT MANOR!
SIRIUS BLACK SIGHTED BY MUGGLE!
Convicted murderer Sirius Black, who killed 13 people with a single curse after the fall of You-Know-Who, and broke out of Azkaban just under a year ago, has been sighted.  A Muggle in Windsor called the hotline and the Prime Minister immediately telephoned Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic.  Unfortunately, by the time Ministry representatives arrived, Black had disappeared.  He has not been seen since then.  Fudge warns Windsor residents to be on the watch for Black and to contact the Ministry should he be sighted.  The Ministry is doing all they can to recapture Black, and Fudge assures the public that he will soon be in Azkaban once more.  Many scoff at this however, for Fudge said the same months ago and Black is still on the loose.  If you see Sirius Black, send an owl to the Ministry immediately.  Black is highly dangerous.  Do not try to capture him yourself. 
THIEF FOUND IN GRINGOTTS VAULT!
A wizard was found in one of Gringotts' high security vaults yesterday.  Gringotts spokesgoblin told reporters, "We have no idea how he got in.  No, nothing was taken.  No, I will not tell you what vault it was or what was in it.  Now go away."  The thief was sentenced to three years in Azkaban.
