Owl to: Rudiger Shingleton, Minister of Magic
Date: Friday, August 3
Time: Afternoon
Enclosed Order of Merlin medal
Minister Shingleton,
I return your medal, and I would like my name removed from the Order of Merlin records. I can't in good conscience keep an award given by a corrupt Ministry. I didn't see how corrupt a year ago, even with the Registry and other biased, pointless acts, but I do now, and I'm only angry that it took Mandy Brocklehurst's unjustified murder to open my eyes.
Expect me on your doorstep tomorrow.
