Today was the first time in months I've been able to give the Prophet a good read.
Boneses
Dear Frederick, Amelia, and June,
As per Amelia's instruction, I will try to explain myself to the best of my abilities.
The Daily Prophet was right. I am working with and passing information to a civilian group dedicated to bringing down Lord V You-Know-Who, and have been for some time. I apologise for keeping you so in the dark, but it was necessary; it was important to me that you did not know, for I valued your safety above all else and continue to do so. You must know that I am still Edgar: your brother, your friend, your husband. It is very important that you realise and accept this. No matter what is said of me, I am still Edgar and not much save the Imperius curse, could make me otherwise.
I will not cease my participation with this particular group, and I hope, by Merlin, that none of you ask me to do so. It is my personal belief that the Ministry has become warped in its function, twisted by the malevolence of those who seek to wrong others and prevent the swift hand of justice from its due course. I cannot in good conscience stand by and watch my world crumble at the hands of a tyrant, and will do all in my power to continue the fight.
I will not divulge specifics, because I do not want to make any of you any more culpable by my words or actions. I want you all to have the opportunity to say with such sincerity and integrity as you have always possessed that you know nothing of my choice in activities. All I can say is that this group of individuals has done more for the wizarding world in mere months than the Ministry has accomplished in the many years since You-Know-Who began his rise to power. You-Know-Who's followers work within the Ministry and combat our efforts at nearly every turn, to bring down the wizarding world with wickedness and wrong-doing. I must beg you all to be more careful than you have ever been before. I have done things, things that some believe warrant retribution and punishment, and your affiliations with me may have marked you as well. For that, I am sorry, as I am that you have been questioned, and your lives put forward for all inspection and criticisms.
Order of the Phoenix
Hullo, all. Let me be frank when I say that I suspect a leak. There should have been no cause for suspect, nor for my dismissal, as I have been careful to the fullest extent possible. Be cautious, and take care of yourselves, please.
I have done all that has been done for only the very best of reasons, and because it is the right thing. I am not ashamed and stand by my decisions. I understand the hesitancy in others to be so bold, but I remain unafraid. If I am let go, then so be it. It is just a job, after all. And if I am charged and sent to Azkaban, then I expect the best bloody recompense and a full damn pardon and reinstatement once all errors are realised. All I ask is that you all are likewise proud of our accomplishments and our decision to stand up and fight for justice. I would not ask you to cease your courses of action, but rather take this opportunity to rejuvenate all efforts.
Gideon
Gideon, I have a favour to ask. I have chose to wait out this particular storm and, as I cannot be seen visiting my family for fear that my house has been marked on the Floo network and my every movement being followed, I would ask you to place extra wards around my parents' and siblings' homes. We simply do not have the forces to follow and protect them as I wish we could, but I wish to ask you to check up on them in my stead. I understand if you do not wish to do this, and won't be angry if you refuse. |

PRIVATE TO MARLENE
Why did you I couldn't I tried the wards
I'm sorry. I'll find them. and they will suffer before they die.
PRIVATE
I never thought my children would have to be witnesses to such a gross display. I feel sick, and like I'm the only one moving forward while the whole world moves against me, going backwards. Was it planned? We should have seen this coming, we should have fucking known. Could I have saved them? NO I would have been there, I would have protected them, I would have brought those bastards down. this is my fucking job and I've made a rubbish job of it.
The question is, where do I we go from here? I'll see them buried into the ground. I have to keep moving, despite this resistance. It's what Marlene would do, fighting to the goddamn end. That's what she did. She was brave, she fought to the end. That's all I can do, I can carry on her fight.
ORDER
If I am speaking somewhat out of turn, I apologise but--No, I'll not apologise
In light of these recent events, I feel a meeting is in order.
I am involved in the investigations into the McKinnon murders. We are attempting interviews, but naturally it will be difficult if not impossible to find any willing witnesses. Voice recognition is damn near impossible, for very much the same reasons. If we find any information at all, you will know the very second I do. |

Pamela's gift to me, on her birthday (which is today). It seems backwards that I should be receiving presents on my daughter's birthday, but I am not complaining. Maybe she found this year's present to be a loss and is buttering me up for next year. |
