August 8 – St. Mungo’s healers have begun distributing a confirmed cure for magical disease, dubbed Zoanthropy. Reports confirm the cure erases all symptoms of the disease within three hours.

The Ministry of Magic announces a one-week period in which infected individuals may seek the cure at St. Mungo’s. Following this, the MLE and RCMC will dispatch a joint task force to administer cures to all remaining carriers.

“We understand some folks might want to keep their eagle’s eyes or blood-hound’s nose ears, but you aren’t a half-way animagus,” says Arnold Eele, Ministry Spokesperson. “Zoanthropy is a serious disease that you can spread to others.”

Those witches or wizards who do not come forward for treatment will face a hefty fine of 25 galleons.
