Owl to Witch Weekly To: Ophelia Spore, Witch Weekly From: John Dawlish
Miss Spore,
As you have ignored my comment on your recent issue, I am left with no choice but to owl you directly. Your silence, of course, speaks volumes.
I'm certain, by now, considering the reputation your paper holds, that you are familiar with the many definitions of libel and defamation. One of them argues that it can be something that "brings undeserved discredit on a person by misrepresentation."
I consider your statements regarding my honeymoon and your conclusions about my character to be acutely defamatory. I have taken one singular vacation since I was first given my job as an Auror, and only after attaining permission after repeated urging from the Minister. But you already knew that.
I suggest you redact your comments. With all due respect, I will not be made into a fool by your publication in the eyes of the public.
Yours sincerely,
John Dawlish Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot Ministry of Magic
