Mystery Cupid Still at Large
No news bad news for those impacted by enchanted love letters
The Department of Magical Law Enforcement confirms that it has no leads into who was behind the rash of amortentia-dosed love letters sent out in September. The large-scale enchantment prompted numerous hasty marriages, and the reverberations of the associated scandals can still be felt in the magical community at large.
“We are doing all in our power to see that the culprit is brought to justice,” said auror Maeve Skeeter. Mrs. Skeeter’s own marriage was brought about by the matchmaker, and sources report it is not a happy one. “Without information from the public and without an excellent break, however, it looks less and less likely that we will find success.”
Mrs. Skeeter was the first to file an official complaint on the matter, and has been on the case ever since.
“Love potions are a tricky business,” explained solicitor John Smith. “At their core, they are decidedly immoral and fall into a legal grey area. The Ministry’s Department of Magical Records was good to offer the opportunity for annulments, though without an explicit culprit, it is difficult to establish wrong-doing.”
Anyone with insight into the matter is urged to contact the Auror Office.
