Daily ProphetBad Augury Bodes Darkly for Remembering Day

One such prediction about Remembering Day comes from Sybill Trelawney, Seer and former Hogwarts Professor. "The stars are signaling a very dark portent for the Tenth Remembering Day. Too many auras in close proximity will react with the planetary alignment, I predict. Or was that too many Aurors in one pl...? The shape of a tree whorl on the Whomping Willow can only be interpreted as gloomy. My tea leaves indicate death, and the images of the Tarot concur whole-heartedly. I would stay a hundred miles away from Hogwarts this May Second if I were anyone with even a squinted third eye."Niobe Thursby

Memorial Ceremony: As Today Begins Tomorrow

"Good evening! I am Theodora Kingstreet and I must apologize for the misprint in your programs! Instead of Ms Poppinjay's tear-jerking opiate of a memoir, I shall be informing you of a very dire wrong you're being done by this Ministry of Magic. Rise from your seats and leave this stadium at once. Go back to your homes straight away! Remembering Day is a ruse the Minister of Magic has created so that you all will believe his administration played a positive role in the fight against Lord Voldemort! They failed you! This would not have happened if someone more responsible, more capable and more organized had been serving you!"Theodora Kingstreet
