RIVER: Hello! and thanks for joining us on Potterwatch! We apologise for our temporary absence from the airwaves, which was due to a number of house-calls in our area by those charming Death Eaters. We’ve now found ourselves another secure location and I’m pleased to tell you that two of our regular contributors have joined me here this evening. Evening Boys!

ROYAL & ROMULUS: Evening River!

RIVER: But before we hear from them, let’s take a moment to report the deaths that the Wizarding Wireless Network News and the Daily Prophet don’t think important enough to mention. It is with great regret that we inform our listeners of the murders of Ted Tonks, Dirk Cresswell and a goblin by the name of Gornuk. It is believed that Muggle-born Dean Thomas and a second goblin were both travelling with them but may have escaped. If Dean is listening, or anyone has any knowledge of his whereabouts, his parents and sisters are desperate for news.
Meanwhile, in Gaddley, a Muggle family of five has been found dead in their home and Bathilda Bagshot, noted magical historian has been found dead in her home in Godric’s Hollow. It seems she died several months ago and her body shows unmistakable signs of injuries inflicted by Dark Magic.
And now to Royal, for an update on how the new wizarding order is affecting the Muggle world.

ROYAL: Thanks River, Muggles remain ignorant of the source of their suffering as they continue to sustain heavy casualties. However, we continue to hear truly inspirational stories of wizards and witches risking their own safety to protect Muggle friends and neighbours, often without the Muggles’ knowledge. I’d like to appeal to all our listeners to emulate their example perhaps by casting a protective charm over any Muggle dwellings in your street. Many lives could be saved if such simple measures are taken.

RIVER: And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be “wizards first”?

ROYAL: I’d say one short step from “wizards first” to “pure-bloods first”, and then to “Death Eaters”. We’re all human and all worth saving.

RIVER: Excellently put. Romulus do you maintain Harry Potter is still alive?

ROMULUS: I do. There’s no doubt in my mind that his death would be proclaimed as widely as possible by the Death Eaters if it happened.

RIVER: And what would you say to Harry if he were listening Romulus?

ROMULUS: I’d tell him we’re all with him in spirit, and I’d tell him to follow his instincts, which are good and nearly always right.

RIVER: Hear that Harry? We’re all with you. Well now to Rodent… sorry Rapier, a new correspondent. Could you please give us your take on the stories about the Chief Death Eater.

RAPIER: Thanks River. Yes, I can. As our listeners will know, unless they’ve taken refuge in a pond, You-Know-Who’s strategy of remaining in the shadows is creating a nice little climate of panic. Mind you if the sightings are genuine, we must have a good nineteen You-Know-Whos running around the place.

ROYAL: Which suits him of course. The air of mystery is creating more terror than actually showing himself.

RAPIER: Agreed, So, stay calm. This new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes… That’s a Basilisk People!!! Simple test … does it have LEGS!!! Although chances are if you look in its eyes its still the last think you ever do.

RIVER: And the rumours of being abroad?

RAPIER: Well, who wouldn’t want a nice little holiday after all the hard work he’s been putting in? Point is, people, don’t get lulled into a false sense of security. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. The fact remains he can move quicker than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo, so don’t count on him being a long way away.
