Muggle Relations: The Generation of the Vampire?
I speak, my dear readers, of an incident that occurred in Holyhead, Wales, the hometown of Mr. Montmore. A man, who's name has yet to be released to the public, allegedly created a spell designed to make whomever it was cast upon kick themselves repeatedly in the behind. If they attempted to stop themselves, whether it be with a simple Finite or a trip to Mungos, they would be temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. Unknown to our misbegotten prankster, he mispronounced his own spell, every time he cast it, and caused a variety of awful results.
As all people would, his victims of course tried to correct their legs. Of the 22 affected, eight people went to St. Mungos, and thirteen tried to fix it themselves. Of these 21 victims, two sprouted a third leg, seven are fully paralyzed, one lost his tongue, five have reversed kneecaps, and six have lost their left leg. Sadly, the last victim, a muggle named Don Verrant of London, who was visiting Holyhead, was affected while at the South Stack Lighthouse, and subsequently fell from the cliffs.
The man responsible has been taking into custody by the Ministry and is awaiting trial for his actions. Whispers have been heard throughout the Ministry for a special ordinance pertaining to this incident, as the offender did not mean to harm, only to cause a bit of chaos. Perhaps next time he will think twice before attempting a feat like this again. This reporter certainly thinks that well all be better off if we just leave the creation of spells, funny and otherwise, to the professionals.
