(hastily scribbled after reading the article in the daily prophet)
I cannot believe that the Minister is going to try to tell people that the death of this Auror isn't connected to the Death Eaters. Come on, people. It was almost exactly a year from the death of Voldemort. It had to be the work of Death Eaters. There is absolutely no way that it could have been anything else. It's just like what happened in Hannah's shop, only to an even greater, more violent extent. Things are just getting worse. We've been lulled into a false sense of security here, people, and we need to become more alert. Like Professor Moody...well...who we thought was Professor Moody said, CONSTANT VIGILENCE. Maybe not constant, but at least be more aware. Yes, Voldemort has been vanquished, but that doesn't mean that his followers have been. Bellatrix Lestrange is out and about; I have no doubt that she was involved in this in some way, if she wasn't the ringleader. She always wanted to be the closest to Voldemort. I wouldn't be surprised if Lucius Malfoy had a hand in it as well.
And at the end of the article, they're implicating Fred and George? That is complete and utter bollocks. Just because of the bobblehead doll. Unbelieveable. The Ministry isn't willing to deal with something more serious, so they'll pin this on someone else. As usual. That doesn't surprise me at all.
I wonder what it would actually take for them to really take something seriously. I would think that a death would cause the Minister to investigate something much deeper than just looking into the proprietors of a joke shop. This is beyond their realm. This is the work of the Death Eaters, plain and simple.
I'm just...astonished. I can't believe...that...they're treating it like this. That it's not...important. That it's not real. But I guess it doesn't surprise me, given the past behaviour of the Ministry. We'll just have to see how it plays out...I guess... I just hope things will be handled better this time than they were in the past.
