Enigma
Prologue
~*~*~*~*~
Daily Prophet— July 31, 1997
Several key Ministry Employees Vanish!
At press time, when asked about the looming threat of You-Know-Who, Minister Cornelius Fudge stated that “The return of Voldemort is a vicious rumor created by warmongering wizards who wish to spread fear in our community. There are other explanations for the missing people’s whereabouts.” When asked to clarify, Minister Fudge declined to comment.

Daily Prophet—August 20, 1998
A Treaty with the Giants?
Rubeus Hagrid, the Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has returned to Hogwarts after a year at an undisclosed location. Rumor has it that he has been in the mountains with the Giants, negotiating a treaty. Did he succeed? Why the mystery surrounding the negotiations themselves?
~*~*~*~*~
Daily Prophet—October 20, 1999
Death Eaters Spotted!
In a brutal assault vaguely reminiscent of the World Quidditch Cup Final attack in 1994, the Dark Mark appeared over Hogsmeade late last night. Several Muggleborn Wizards were found crucified outside The Three Broomsticks. It is believed that You-Know-Who’s following has increased. The Ministry declined to comment on this malignant deed, but Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of the prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and leader of the Order of the Phoenix, has said, “Voldemort has yet to complete his plans. We have foiled his attempts at every turn, and the monstrous atrocity of this act may signify a desperation that could aid us in our quest against his dark designs. We must not give up hope.”

Daily Prophet—November 5, 2000
Are the Stars Against Us?
In a stunning move, the Centaurs have refused to choose a side in the ongoing war against Voldemort, declining Headmaster Dumbledore’s plea for aid. Their spokesman, Firenze, stated, “We speak to the stars. It is not for us to interfere in the affairs of humanity when there are so many paths yet to be traveled. It is not our duty to protect your world.”

Memo from Auror Moody to Headmaster Dumbledore, February 15, 2001
As you thought, we have intercepted several Owls and Trans-audio communiqués from the Death Eaters, and the new Aurors have been graduated to face this crisis. They will begin deciphering the captured messages immediately.
~*~*~*~*~
Memo from Albus Dumbledore to all resident Aurors—April 2, 2002
Our attempts at negotiating with the werewolves have failed. Remus Lupin is dead, may the Lady rest his soul.
~*~*~*~*~
Memo delivered to Dumbledore via Hedwig, March 1, 2003
Albus! We’ve discovered the key to Ivy! We can decipher their messages and use their own information to ambush them!
