Sources in Hogwarts have revealed that the Headmaster is NOT having a nervous breakdown, but more importantly he is not trying to escape from the pressures of his job by turning to drink.
“I know he got very drunk the other night,” said one member of the faculty, “But he is a great man and that was because he got the ingredients in his cough mixture confused. NOT at all because he is a broken man being driven insane by the endless torment of the Sorting hat!”
Another staff member commented, “The Headmaster does NOT drink himself into oblivion every evening, and is not found in a sozzled heap by the House Elves every dawn”
Representatives of the Ministry have confirmed that no one has approached them concerned about the Headmasters suitability for the job, however the Prophet does hope that the Ministry will step in and deal with some of the Headmaster's lewd behaviour if it seems necessary to do so.

Famed Advocate returns to Britain; Picks fight with the Minister Already!
After several years practicing across Europe, famed Wizarding Advocate and legalist, Sigmar Biedermann, had returned to Britain after several years away. Biedermann who earned much hatred after successfully defending several former Death Eaters during Wizengamot trials (including the amnesty to the Malfoy’s) has occasionally be called ‘You know who’s lawyer’- a name he does not much like.
“It’s a petty insult said by Ministry officials who hate what I do,” he quipped when asked by one of pour reporters about it.
“I prevent the Ministry from every making the same mistakes again. I prevent them from becoming monsters like Umbridge”
The wily old legal fox seems to have his eyes focused on one department (as always) the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
“For the past twenty years Magical Law Enforcement has been on a war footing- the Aurors especially, who do a fine job, often over step the mark- they take on board powers they should not have. But I have heard that the current Department Head, Deadlow, is a VERY level headed chap. I am sure there will be no issues.”
But already he has issues with our Minister of Magic- “Kingsley’s a war hero and a great man- but being IN the war like he was has made him lose objectivity. He wants to publish the Death Eater files- there is no good that could come from that. All he will do is open up wounds that have only just healed.”

Muggles Report Terrible Screams Heard in ‘Britain’s Most Haunted House’
Britain’s most haunted house, 50 Berkeley Square, London, was the scene of a great disturbance yesterday, when Muggles reported hearing screams emitting from up to 100 yards away.
Of course the house is the location for ‘The Other Club’ the haunt in Britain- as yet no one from the Ministry was able to comment on what could have disturbed the ghosts and the prophet’s own ghostly reporter, Angus Fella, is away on leave! We hope for some light to be shed on the situation soon.
