MINISTRY CABINET RECONVENE AND NEW LAWS TO BE CONSIDERED
By Rita Skeeter
The Ministry of Magic's Cabinet of Officials - made up of Department Heads, Senior Advisers, Madam Undersecretary Lestrange and Minister of Magic, Pius Thicknesse - reconvened today to begin the process on making a decision on several new laws. Some of these laws include harsher penalties for those who oppose the Ministry in a disorderly and socially unsafe manner, such as the events that transpired at the Hogsmeade Halloween Festival last year. (Read The Daily Prophet - NOV. 1st to recall what happened.)

The new law states that "if a person, beast or being is found conducting in antisocial behaviour and protesting against the Ministry in a manner which can bring harm to themselves and others - the person, beast or being will be apprehended by any means necessary and be brought to trial where, dependent on the extent of the crimes will receive a fine of 11,000 galleons or higher and possible time in Azkaban Prison".

Several other laws are in the works including one that will eliminate the "Equal Marriages Act 1647" - which originally allowed for wizards and witches to marry within the same gender as well as inter-species with a human-like beast or being. If this law is passed, a number of people who have wed werewolves, vampires or other such human-like beasts and beings will now find their marriages null and void. While, if any such being, beast or same-sex couple were to want to marry now, it would no longer be possible for them to do so. Muggleborns and their marriages - as long as they are inter-sex marriages - will not be affected by this law at the time of printing.

The reasoning behind such a law is due to studies showing the increasing low number of children born into the magical world. The population of Wizarding Europe, as a whole, is at an all time low and the Ministry feel that to preserve the world and culture they need to promote more desirable relationships that will help sustain Wizarding society.

Of course, there are numerous rumours going around about other laws the Ministry are set to pass - including one that will separate the blood classes in the stands while attending Quidditch matches - but no word from the Ministry's Press Office if there is any truth to them. As always, keep a close eye on The Daily Prophet for all the latest ground breaking news in the world today.



In music news now, a three-broom crash took place last night over the River Mersey in Liverpool between late ticket holders to a Celestina Warbeck concert. All injured parties were taken to St. Mungo's for treatment and Ms. Warbeck issued a safety warning to all concert goers.

"Take care of one another out there," Ms. Warbeck said to her audience. "I would rather you be late to your seats for my show than rush and cause an accident like we have seen here tonight."

Ms. Warbeck then went on to sing some heartfelt classics and sent flowers to the families involved in the crash.
