Albus Dumbledore

[alt_bellatrix]

I regret that your crimes against the innocent and law-abiding citizens of the Protectorate will force MLE's hand in what happens next.

Since you have helped yourself to Dover, the Lord Protector will help Himself to the place of your birth: Mould-on-the-Wold.

This land belongs to Him and no other. However much you take, He will take more. Wherever you hide, you will be found. Your smug little show of rabble-rousing will scarcely rate a footnote in the history of the greatest Wizarding society that we have ever known.

Surrender yourself to MLE within 24 hours, and your brother, Aberforth, will be released from our custody. Until then and not a moment before, he will be interrogated to the furthest extent of my abilities. 24 hours, and he will be released in pristine condition, all damage reversed.

To ensure that you make haste, for every 10 minutes you delay a resident of Mould-on-the-Wold will be selected for a very special branch of Our Lord's service, from the oldest, all the way down to the very youngest.

Let their honour make up for all that you yourself lack.

If anyone in Mould-on-the-Wold hated the Lord Protector, surely Aurors would have discovered their disloyalty years ago and taken proper action.

They are loyal subjects and innocent people. They're not hiding Dumbledore. They're not hiding anyone like him.

Killing them is basically saying, 'you might just as well be a traitor because loyalty won't do anything to keep you safe, if it turns out you live in a town where a traitor was born.'

You're the only one who keeps talking about killing.

If Dumbledore really cares about the good witches and wizards of the Protectorate, then he'll turn himself in.

And you really should stop writing. You're just going to confuse people and they'll end up getting themselves hurt.

Maybe you ought to get some sleep? It sounds as if you might sorely need it.

Wait, are you saying that it's not just the witches and wizards of Mould-on-the-Wold that are in danger but really, everyone in the whole Protectorate? If Albus Dumbledore doesn't turn himself in?

Mould-on-the-Wold is part of the Protectorate, hence the residents being good witches of wizards of the Protectorate.

You really do like to twist words to suit your paranoia, Harry. It's quite astonishing. And a little sad.

[alt_harry]

Well, you're right that I'm tired. I wish I could go to sleep but I can't stop thinking about the wizards and witches in Mould-on-the-Wold.

How terrified they must be. And confused, since they didn't do anything wrong. How utterly awful it would be to see their family members hurt or killed in front of them.
