Safety Suggestions from the Ministry

Issued on Behalf of the Ministry of Magic
PROTECTING YOUR HOME AND FAMILY
AGAINST DARK FORCES

The wizarding community is currently under threat from an organisation calling itself the Death Eaters. Observing the following simple security guidelines will help protect you, your family and your home from attack.

  1. You are advised not to leave the house alone.
  2. Particular care should be taken during the hours of darkness. Wherever possible, arrange to complete journeys before night has fallen.
  3. Review the security arrangements around your house, making sure that all family members are aware of emergency measures such as Shield and Disillusionment Charms and, in the case of under-age family members, Side-Along-Apparition.
  4. Agree security questions with close friends and family so as to detect Death Eaters masquerading as others by use of Polyjuice Potion (see page 2).
  5. Should you feel that a family member, colleague, friend or neighbour is acting in a strange manner, contact the Magical Law Enforecement Squad at once. They may have been put under the Imperius Curse (see page 4).
  6. Should the Dark Mark appear over any dwelling place or other building, DO NOT ENTER, but contact the Auror Office immediately.
  7. Unconfirmed sightings suggest that the Death Eaters may now be using Inferi (see page 10). Any sighting of an Inferius, or encounter with same, should be reported to the Ministry IMMEDIATELY.
