MORTENERO STRIKES AGAIN
We all remember the Fiasco in Diagon Alley four years ago at the celebration for the fall of Voldemort three years prior. For many months, the Ministry had many suspects and while never proven, have assumed that it was Giovanna Nero. She has been wanted for questioning since then and has since only become even more of a high profile criminal in Britain. Yesterday, the three main shops that were targeted (Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Flourish & Blotts and Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions) were targeted again. However, they were not exploded like the first time. Diagon Alley shoppers and residents woke up to the sign of 'Mortenero' in red magicked onto the outside walls of all three shops. Nothing else has happened to the shops, though they did not open that day from fear of what might happen to the shops, the workers and the customers.
Aurors arrived to the scene and searched the area for any signs of danger for the better part of the day. In the end, it was concluded that the premises were safe for re-entry and the shops opened up this morning.
The Ministry is unsure whether it was a warning that those shops would be attacked again or if it was just a reminder of what had happened. Either way, Auror patrols have become more frequent around Diagon Alley and citizens are cautioned to always remain vigilant.
