Is Haupington a secret werewolf?
Many wizards on the street were left puzzled last week by the sudden flurry of meetings at the Ministry of Magic to do with werewolf rights.
While the pro-Ministry papers were full of stories about the possibility of a dedicated werewolf ward at St Mungo's, and the need to find a cure for this terrible condition, all laudable sentiments to be sure, there was one fact about this meeting between the Minister and the Werewolf Welfare Society that not even his most ardent critics cared to mention!
Yes, we can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL that Seamus Haupington, the Minister for Magic is a WEREWOLF!
Astute readers may already have noted that Haupington went missing at the last full moon ('I was on holiday') and the full moon before that, he was on a diplomatic mission, EXCEPT no reports of any foreign meetings reached the ears of the press!
And on many other occasions when the moon is at its brightest, you'd be hard-pressed to meet the Minister because he is locked away in his office!
Conclusive evidence that the Minister of Magic is a WEREWOLF!
And now, wizards hear that he wants werewolves to be RECOGNISED and accepted as normal members of wizarding society! NEED WE SAY MORE?
