A curly black haired boy lay on the floor with blood  surrounding him. He was in black pants and white shirt which was torn in various places. He was unconscious from after being tortured by his ' father '.  (Voldy)

Nico was tortured by his father on everyday basis. Only Tom Riddle was allowed to come to Nico's room. He was submitted to torture by his father every time he failed to do a spell or something like that. Now was one of those times where he was left on the floor after a long time of torture.

The room was strewn with various possessions. Everything had a touch of neatness to it. Even then it still managed to look a little messy. There was a bundle of newspapers on the table that lay in a puddle. The headline of one blared:

HARRY POTTER: THE CHOSEN ONE?

Rumors continue to fly about the mysterious recent disturbance at the Ministry of Magic, during which He Who Must Not Be Named was sighted once more. There are also very vivid rumors about a son of the Dark Lord who was hidden with him at first then at Hogwarts. There are rumors about the boy being kidnapped back to the dark side.

The nature of that prophecy is unknown, although speculation is rife that it concerns Harry Potter, the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse, and who is also known to have been at the Ministry on the night in question. Some are going so far as to call Potter the 'Chosen One,' believing that the prophecy names him as the only one who will be able to rid us of He-Who-Must-No t-Be-Named. Some have even gone as far as naming the mysterious son as the Shadow Prince.

The current whereabouts of the prophecy or the son, if they exist, are unknown, although (cont. page2, column 5)

A second newspaper lay beside die first. This one bore die headline:

SCRIMGEOUR SUCCEEDS FUDGE

Most of this front page was taken up with a large black-and-white picture of a man with a lionlike mane of thick hair and a rather ravaged face. The picture was moving — the man was waving at the ceiling.

Rufus Scrimgeour, previously Head of the Auror office in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, has succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister of Magic. The appointment has largely been greeted with enthusiasm by the Wizarding community, though rumors of a rift between the new Minister and Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, surfaced within hours of Scrimgeour taking office. 

Scrimgeour's representatives admitted that he had met with Dumbledore at once upon taking possession of the top job, but refused to comment on the topics under discussion. Albus Dumbledore is known to (cont. page 3, column 2)

To the left of this paper sat another, which had been folded so that a story bearing the title MINISTRY GUARANTEES STUDENTS' SAFETY was visible.

Newly appointed Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, spoke today of the tough new measures taken by his Ministry to ensure the safety of students returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this autumn.
