DAILY PROPHET

DECEMBER 25TH 1881

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE MINISTER REGRETS ONLY THAT HE CANNOT SHARE IT

To the community of Hogsmeade, and the Wizarding Community at Large, Business with our counterparts in India is going quite swimmingly, however it prevents me from spending this joyous season with my family as I would so desire. Yes, that family includes my Father (Jameson Potter, of Paris), brother (Bennet Potter, of Hogsmeade), and sister (Nicolette Potter, of Hogsmeade), but as your Minister of Magic, I can now extend that further�to each and every one of you who find your home within our great nation. Yes, it is my greatest regret that my work prevents me from spending this holiday season at home with each and every one of you, and I urge you to make the most of this time spent with family as your circumstances will allow you. This year of 1881 has been one of challenges ___________________________

and change, of excitement and adventure, for each and every one of you to grace Hogsmeade's cobbles � nay, to grace British soil and sky. I think each and every one of you for sharing this year with me, and for setting a positive example for the entirety of the Wizarding World. I have no doubt that many of you will be far to intrigued by your own festivities to waste time with the words of your silly young Minister�I say all with humour�but for those of you who do glance the pages of your Prophet this morning, afternoon, or evening, know that my best wishes, and those of your Ministry, are with you this Christmas. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you, and best wishes for the most prosperous of new years. �Darcy Potter Minister of Magic
