The Falmouth Falcons’ newest acquisition!

Falmouth’s resident Quidditch team has just announced a new member will be joining the team for the upcoming season. Draco Malfoy (aged 25), son of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black), has taken the recently vacated position of Beater. For years, the Falcons have been struggling to find a long-term player to complete the team—some say the position is cursed, and for good reason. The second to last Falcons Beater, Benedict Soots, was found dead in his apartment two years ago (read about the new developments on the case on page seven) and the currently retiring player, Byron Aves, has fallen victim to an unfortunate accident. The circumstances are unknown to this day, but an anonymous source suggests that Dark Arts may have been at play.

Draco Malfoy, who is yet to shed some light on his unexpected career choice, seems unfazed by those rumours. However, whether the reason for his indifference is extraordinary courage or his well-known connections to the Dark Forces during the Second Wizarding War, remains unknown.

The unlikely transfer has been widely commented upon by the wizarding society, especially due to to the fact Mr Malfoy will be playing shoulder to shoulder with the Chosen One, War Hero, and the Falcons’ star Seeker, Harry Potter (aged 25). Mr Potter has turned down our offer of an interview on the pair’s turbulent past and their obvious animosity over the course of their education in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Our informant, who was present at the Falcons’ first practice with Malfoy, claims the two men were seen arguing on the pitch and had to be separated by their teammates.

The Falcons’ press spokesperson has refused to disclose the sum of gold for which the contract with Draco Malfoy has been signed.
