He Who Must Not Be Named was irretrievably killed on Sunday night.

The dark wizard was planning an attack on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he was ambushed by the Boy Who Lived and slayed by a killing curse. Harry Potter set out alone, but was overtaken by a group of Aurors and a prominent Unspeakable, who fought accompanying Death Eaters while he dueled with He Who Must Not Be Named.

This however was not the only event that took place around Hogwarts that night. Gryffindor prefect and seventh year Hermione Granger, alerted by her friend Potter, led five other students in routing out a band of followers in a hidden location. The six seventh years succeeded in murdering the large, venomous snake Nagini and captured several of He Who Must Not Be Named’s followers with the assistance of Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt and former Hogwarts teacher Remus Lupin, who spied the students from a distance out of school bounds and deemed it necessary to check on them.
