Sirius Black escapes Azkaban!
Last night known mass-murderer Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban prison, the Ministry announced in a press conference earlier today. “We are still investigating how such a breach of security could have taken place,” said a Ministry spokesperson. “We are pursuing every line of investigation.”
Black was apprehended two years ago while laughing at the scene of his crime, a muggle street in London where he had blown up Peter Pettigrew and 12 muggles with one curse. Of his former friend, all that remained was one finger.
The escape comes at a bad time for Minister Bagnold, who was already under heavy bombarda for authorising the use of Unforgiveable Curses towards the end of the war with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
The Ministry calls for every member of the public to stay calm and notify the DMLE if they see Black, but to not approach, as even without a wand he is extremely dangerous. A Floo address has been set up, any sightings are to be reported at the address 'Wizardwatch'.
