Miscellaneous clippings and snippings from beyond the front page of the Daily Prophet over the month of December 2011.
Lost Hiker Found 26 Dec 2011 Missing witch Cornelia Farthing of Devonshire has been found alive and by most measures intact. Farthing had been reported missing three days ago when she did not return from an herbological hike in the Lake District. "I ought've stayed home," said Farthing. "I had the sniffles and must have gotten so woozy that I couldn't manage to Apparate. Oddest thing ... still feeling under the weather..."
Diagon Alley Portal Glitches 21 Dec 2011 Just in time for last-minute shopping the brick portal entrance to Diagon Alley via the Leaky Cauldron is being picky and choosy about whom it allows passage. It's sure to cause some consternation but the Floo Network Authority is on the case. "Don't know why we've got strapped with this but sure, we're on the case," said George Higgins from that office.
Catch a shooting star 12 Dec 2011 Did you see the shooting star last night? Multiple readers reported the rare and pretty event of a brilliant sparkly streak of light quickly flying over London. "This is a good omen for Sagittarius who can consider the green color symbolic of growth and renewal," said staff astrologer Abe Castor-on-Lune. | Werewolf sighted in London Zoo 12 Dec 2011 According to a close-mouthed internal source inside the Werewolf Wing there may or may not have been at least one werewolf but no more than two werewolves reported in the vicinity of the London zoo or possibly within the London zoo. The source is neither confirming or denying that the werewolf, whom the source will only confirm is hypothetical, was collected by the Werewolf Capture Unit, but that if it were or weren't that werewolf should it exist is being looked after according to protocol.
Pamphlets distributed by the Werewolf Wing to the Daily Prophet when asked for comment included common sense precautions for being safe on a full moon and directions for casting Red Sparks should an emergency arise.
Vanessa Carson Robbed 20 Dec 2011 Musician and model Vanessa Carson was the victim of a robbery on the 18th of December.[1] A source close to Carson tells the Daily Prophet the young star suffered no injuries. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has stated they are not yet ready to conclusively link this incident to this autumn's string of burglaries.[2]
