MINISTRY CRACKS DOWN ON OBERN RENEGE
Over the past few days evidence has come to light of the refutation of the Oberon Amendment by certain pockets of wizarding society. It seems that the fabled Oberon Amendment, passed at the time of the Persecution, is considered obsolete by many in the Solidarity with Muggles Party (SMP). Indeed, a mistreated owl, having escaped the party Headquarters, was intercepted by your humble reporter with a flock message written by a member of significant office within the party: "Until further notice, all MBI is suspended."
Cybill Rattigan, who famously defected from the SMP to the United Muggle Defence League last year, has been heard to say that MBI is a long-standing term within the party for "mutually beneficial interaction".
This note is the first concrete evidence of what the Ministry of Magic has been fearing for the last 150 years, since the banishment of Alba Edison; that the party has been actively endorsing magical relations with Muggles. A spokesperson for the ministry said yesterday:
"Well, it's not the conclusive, undeniable proof we've been hoping to stumble across, but it certainly has finally made some sense of my career." The ministry are allegedly posting howlers to those whom they call "Guerilla Mages", in the hope of outing them in a public place. We at the Daily Prophet expect this new development to drag on for some decades.
