U.K. Cursed For Fifty Years

By Rita Skeeter

Lord Lucius Malfoy, public relations manager for the Minister of Magic had released a statement late last night to explain just what had happened to us last night.

Fifty years ago with the death of the Dark Lord, Gilbert Grindelwald, released a curse. The Pandora Curse is the same curse placed on a box by a witch in ancient times giving it its name. Grindelwald had changed the curse so that it would affect everyone in the Magical U.K. The curse was broken yesterday afternoon when one of the cursed remembered just who he really was. Thanks to a Potions accident earlier that morning, Damien Black remembered that he was not a boy called Harry Potter, but the son of famous Potions Master and Kinta, Severus Black Nee Riddle and his Potions Master husband, Sirius Black.

Tom and Eileen Riddle, parents of Severus and known curse and jinx experts, were the two to identify the curse. Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, confirmed the curse. Mr. Dumbledore was confirmed to have been cursed to unable to tell anyone of the curse upon us until the curse was broken. He had to live in a cursed world for fifty years knowing full well that everything going on was not real.

Tom Riddle had also said that we should just try to forget the old memories and move on with the new, the real memories.

My readers, I will have to stay that I thank Damien Black to the bottom of my heart and will gladly take Mr. Riddle’s recommendation and forget the curse memories for they are not real.
