alt_padmaget an owl from Haruman this morning?
He sent me a clipping from the Prophet. He says he's doing a mediwizard rotation as an emergency responder, for people who can't Apparate themselves to St Mungo's, and stuff like that.
Anyway, his team went out to investigate a murder! And the reporter interviewed Haruman because the circumstances were so odd. He says it looks like whoever did it used a curse to drain all the blood out of the body, like butchers do with pigs and cows, but otherwise there was no struggle.
Oh, and the victim's third finger was removed 'post-mortem' (that means after he was dead). The article says that there were some other things stolen and that the widow said he wore a signet ring on the finger that's missing, so maybe that's why that finger's gone?
But then he cut off the part where it said that the MLE are investigating 'other leads.' I guess because they didn't ask him any more after that. Still, I bet I know why they don't believe the widow, because if it was thieves he would've fought back, right? And I don't think wizards would rob one another, would they? So that means it must've been an escaped mudblood, but then how could he use magic to kill a warlock? And the article says he was a skilled warlock, so that doesn't make any sense. Oh, bother.
Does anyone have a copy of Tuesday's Prophet so I can read the rest of the article?

Did you read it? Did you see the bit where the neighbours said that the husband and wife were always having rows?
I think that's very interesting.
What d'you suppose it's like to be an Auror? I can't wait for the presentation in the YPL, can you?
