DEMENTOR ATTACK AT HOGWARTS
The students of Hogwarts returned to school after Christmas break and experienced a very unpleasant surprise. A package was delivered to Hogwarts and the usual checks for dark magic and malcontent were completed. A note on the package read that Hogwarts should have invited everyone.
Once opened, a hoard of Dementors came flying out of the package, causing chaos and terror amongst the staff and students of the school.
Skilled faculty members and a few older students used Patronus Charms to get the Dementors off the school grounds and then strengthened the protective barrier around the school.
Investigations are still underway on who sent the Dementors to the school. The Ministry of Magic has stated that they believe it was an Italian, as the note seems to be implying that it was from someone who wasn't invited to the International Cultural Events that took place at Hogwarts only a couple of weeks before.
Due to this attack, witches and wizards are becoming sceptical about Thawley's rash decision to have Dementors guard Azkaban again, though Thawley and the rest of the Ministry assures them that this was a very specific attack done by a wiard, not the Dementors themselves, and that the population should not worry about the loyalty of the Dementors who guard Azkaban.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON
In the past month, many homes have been destroyed and many lives taken. The word 'Mortenero' has been carved into the ground or building at the location of the crime. The style of the writing of 'Mortenero' is very similar to Giovanna's display in Diagon Alley in September. The word itself is assumed to mean 'Black Death', which could be a reference to the ancient Plague from hundreds of years ago. However, some also believe it is more closely related to Giovanna, since her last name is Nero.
The Ministry assures the public that they are looking into it and have concluded that these actions are not from Giovanna Nero, but are the work of Italian extremists, all in the name of the war. They have refused to comment on their theory on the meaning of the word 'Mortenero'.
