*An anonymous letter to the Minister, On a standard Durmstrang style leaflet, delivered by black Durmstrang owl.*
Dear Respected Minister.
To my understanding there is a sudden huge interest in Hogwarts Students. People have even begun questioning your authority and I’ve even heard of people actually questioning your leading. The whole wizarding world is slowly going into a uproar as in the close past your men have condemned one student to a life time of suffering in Azkaban, another the Dementor’s Kiss, and then the four Hogwarts students brought in not long ago. So far I understand there is the one girl left, I think it would be most beneficial if you had this trial open to the public. People have been questioning if you have just been looking for people to pin on the dark artifact smuggling and the dead Aurors who popped up lately. Give us the proof we need to accept her fate.
So far I have heard that this one volunteers her spare time for orphans, that she is a kind gentle soul, and rumours are that you have condemned her to Azkaban for a couple days already for holding a rock? A very pretty rock. A rock that any young girl could pick up or any rock a kid would want to give to the girl he likes. I find it hard to believe that she knows even is aware that this so called rock is even dark. Your best course of action would be to give her the verita-serum that would give us proof while we watch over the public trial. Or give her the chance to be heard, for no matter how sure you feel about this, there must be some ounce of worry or concern that you are sending an innocent person to her demise.
Besides, this is starting to become political and frankly you are drawing a fine line to how the Ministry deals with possibility. There are much more dangerous people in the world, people who have killed and harmed innocents, but people won’t stand for it much longer if you become one of those dangerous people Mr. Minister. The prophet would have a ball if she was sent to Azkaban and you wouldn’t be in your place much longer, the ministry is crumbling very slowly and if this girl is convicted under false pretenses it will collapse. This is not a threat or anything of the sort, I’m just a concerned boy that wants to keep your word a law, however I will find myself to help much if you bring yourself to ruin by ruining this girls life.
So show the people how compassionate and rational you are. Consider a girls love for pretty objects, put yourself into our position, show us you are working on our level, give her the truth serum, make the trial public so everyone can see how this is handled. We desire truth, we deserve to know and see both sides of the spectrum. Do not condemn an innocent girl, Minister, She is not the object of punishment for dark wizards everywhere, if she were condemned it would be a victory for the dark wizards that lurk the streets.
From a concerned boy.
