Wow another month is well and truly upon us, and what a super one it is. Firstly to all American's happy 4th July to you. Hope you set lots of fireworks off!

I'm not going to beat about the bush this week as there is a lot to inform you about, and so let the Snitch begin!

This Week in the Wizarding World...

The Beasts Revolt

Werewolf legislation has been recently tightened, and has prevented werewolves from doing a number of things such as getting a job with the Ministry or any other kind of official business, and many other businesses are following suit. It has been noted that owing to this strict rules were in place werewolf activity has increased, leading many to worry about an uprising. Reported attacks in Godric's Hollow shows that the demands for changes won't be made peacefully. Witches and Wizards are advised that during the full moon to stay in doors, and to increase security charms on their properties.
