A Growing Threat
Reported By: Erin Emerald
In the past few months, it has been believed that the Dark Lord's community has been growing. There have been rumors going around about who and where the Dark Lord really is. Although it is not precisely known by many, the Minister of Magic might have the answers people are searching for. "Its safe to say that we do have hard evidence as to where the Dark Lord is hiding. As much as I’d like to divulge this information to you I don’t think starting a panic attack throughout the wizarding world is necessary. His identity is a completely different matter. We do have our suspicions as to who might be associating themselves with the Dark Lord, but his actual identity is still unsolved. This has become my personal quest. I have multiple wizards and witches working night and day to bring in some small piece of evidence linking us to his identity. It’s only a matter of time," says Minister of Magic, Merrick Raghnall.
Of course, the news of dark magic is not new to the wizarding world. Dark Lords come and pass, but good stays the same. However, there is still a large threat to every magical community. "For years the wizarding world has been battling the Dark Arts, and with each pending Dark Lord the same information always rises," [/i ]says Raghnall. "The intention is always something on a large scale such as gaining power or controlling bloodlines. There is a constant formula that every Dark Lord seems to follow, and that has become a driving force of information in the Ministry. We have been able to acquire a keen sense of what makes these Dark Lords tick, but there is still a portion of that entire agenda that we have yet to unfold. I like to compare the Ministry’s knowledge of the growing threat to an iceberg. We have seen the very surface of what the Dark Arts are capable of. Its right there in our faces, and we have that solid information right at our fingertips. Yet beneath the surface of all of that there is an even greater threat that we can not see. It’s been the Ministry’s mission to chip away at that top layer of the iceberg and begin to reveal all of the information that we didn’t know."
The Ministry continues to do all it can to prevent the rising of the Dark Lord. Some may question if it is enough. "The Ministry continues to do what it does best. It’s job right now is to keep people calm about the possibility of a new rising Dark Lord, and at the same time uncover the puzzle pieces to shut this bloke down before anything serious begins. In the past many Ministers have made the mistake of taking things to lightly. I plan to be the first one to take charge of the situation before the situation takes charge of the Ministry." But, although the ministry is trying to keep the people calm, it may end in worry. It is getting more and more difficult for people to keep a calm mind.
The next question is, will it ever stop? Will the wizarding world always be in conflict with one another? The minister says, "Personally I feel as though there will always be a constant war plaguing the wizarding world. Not because we lack the strength to keep these Dark Lords at bay, but because there is so much rising conflict in everyone. Every person, including young students such as yourself, carry completely different ideas then those around you. It’s when some people take their ideas and opinions to the extreme that we begin to see these so called ‘wars’. I do not believe that we can rightfully claim this exact moment as the beginning of a war. We’ve been caught in a never-ending war since the dawn of time. Its our job as the Ministry to do our best keeping it from rising out of control. "
How much the ministry may try to stop it, the war is upon us. There is no doubting the fact. Will the whole thing end in misery, or in a good way? The only thing to do now is to be ready for it all and hope that one will pick the right side.
