THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MINISTRY
Seventeen days ago seven Death Eaters escaped from Azkaban. Seven. Death. Eaters. The very people our shiny Ministry is taking steps towards eliminating from our society broke free and galloped through our world.
What did the Ministry do? Did they... alert the public? Tell us to be careful? To keep our children off the street?
No. They did not. Only after unknown forces (whoever you are, I’ll bake you a cake) had plastered the news across Diagon they admitted to it. Six whole days after it happened - four days after they admitted to it in public - they started searching through people’s houses.
Finally (seriously, guys, NINE DAYS?) the genius minds employed by our beloved Minister came up with an idea. A novel idea.
Scape goats! Why yes, that’s not something that has ever been done before. They quickly arrested a number of citizens, all with ST connections. Three days later (let’s think that one over, shall we? six days to admit the Death Eaters were running around the country like demented hippogriffs, and three to arrange a trial) two of them were sentenced in front of the whole wizarding world.
Only a handful people, none of which were making decisions on the future of the defendants, were convinced that also Death Eaters and family of STs deserved a fair trial. In fact, the Ministry was so eager to find someone to blame that they altered documents, fabricated confessions and beat and drugged the defendants in order to put together a case.
You may say that Death Eaters deserve what they get. You may happily agree to send them to Azkaban, to hand them over for the Kiss and cheer as they walk towards their death. They’ve destroyed so many lives, haven’t they? They had it coming.
To you, we say this:
One day it will be your turn. One day the Ministry will decide that all purebloods / halfbloods / queers / unmarried / unwilling to breed / not devoted enough / etc. are, if not dangerous so at least inconvenient. Anyone who puts a toe out of line will be silenced.
You will be silenced.
Your mother will be silenced. Your father. Your sister. Your brother. Your children.
You think that it’s far away. You think that they are cleaning up the wizarding world, that they are making this a better place. That they will have had enough soon, that they will stop and say “this is enough”.
They won’t. They’re not.
If they were, would they allow Rabastan Lestrange, Andrew Avery, Alecto Carrow, Fenrir Greyback, Thorfinn Rowle, Cyril Yaxley and Tanner Pucey to go free? Would they let them threaten, hurt, maim and kill, while spending time and resources on convicting two young men, neither which attended the battle of Hogwarts, nor spent any time in close contact with the Dark Lord?
Think about it. Make your own conclusion. If you still support the Ministry at the end of the day I’ll be the first to say I TOLD YOU SO when it all goes to shit.
Wait, it already did.
