13. Bodynapped

BELLATRIX BODYNAPPED

Luna Lovegood, London - While
being freighted to the waste facility yesterday afternoon, the bereaved body of
Bellatrix Black Lestrange was brusquely bodynapped by a Daily Prophet reporter
and her cohorts. The Prophet denies any connection and the Aurors claim no such
thing has taken place at all.

Our source, who
wishes to remain anonymous, says she herself witnessed both the planning of the
deed and the bringing back of Bellatrix’s body to an undisclosed location.

‘They have the
best of intentions, I’m quite sure,’ she says, ‘but I’m afraid the results may
not be what they have expected. I’ve said as much, but they would not listen.’

She claims the
bodynappers intend to revive Bellatrix Black Lestrange through methods she has
chosen not to reveal, she says, for fear of what others might do with that
information.

It is not the
intent of the bodynappers to bring Bellatrix back but rather to use her body
for what our source calls scientific purposes. While she can’t fault their
logic, she fears a repetition of the Frankenstein myth and the escape of a new
Bellatrix, more dangerous than ever.

Our source would
not reveal to us the names of either the reporter or her cohorts but has given
this information, and more, to the Aurors in the hope that they might prevent a
disaster, should things not go as planned.

The Quibbler will, as always, keep You updated and First In The
Know.
