It would be good to do something, anything, to try to get Shingleton out of office and change things for the werewolves and other oppressed groups of people. As far as Harry was concerned, there was a lot that needed changing--the laws that had led to Mandy's death and the registry, which discriminated against the innocent just as much as it did against the guilty, were only the start ( ... )

Well, sure, Ministry support would be swell, but not even Tonks was willing to add her name to the cause the week before, transforming into another woman entirely when the WCU came a-knocking. 'Course, it was a much more dangerous situation. Perhaps this time would be different.

"I'm sure Luna would let you do that. I think she has a bit of a thing for you." She was teasing, of course, but when they went straight to business, what exactly was she supposed to say. Were they not friends? At least, for all intents and purposes, siblings?

She could be 'wounded' later. Now, they had a revolution to plan.

"I'm sure dad would be on our side. Hardly a surprise though, is it? I doubt many others would be willing to publicly associate with a cause that's blatantly anti-Ministry. Wouldn't look too good, would it? Do you think we should tell Remus?"

The thoughts came out smooshed together, which she hadn't really intended to do. Percy's voice, however, wouldn't stop playing in her head. You'll make things worse, he kept telling her. It won't ( ... )

Harry didn't take any apparent notice of Ginny being hurt, brooding on her answers as they waited for the waitress to return. He hadn't taken much notice of anything since the execution--it seemed like the primary thing worth taking notice of, since he was so mad at himself for being away so long and not knowing that these atrocities were going on, and not being able to help even when he was here.

"Yeah, your dad would be a good fellow to have. Though he's always been the better face of the Ministry," Harry added bitterly. Did he and the Ministry ever have their disputes--going back years before this latest injustice. "I know it's not a huge crowd, but a lot of people seemed upset about what happened to Mandy. Maybe they would stand with us against the Ministry."

He sighed. "Yeah, we should tell Remus. Maybe he'd think it was a bad idea though. I don't want to risk endangering anyone else in his pack."

"I'll write him a note," she promised. "Soon. Before we go public with all this."

That gave the witch plenty of time to draft an appropriate letter to send to the wolf. Mandy's death, any public display of affection for the pack, they were touchy subjects. Anything that would draw all of Wizarding Britain's attention to said prickly topics needed to be run by the Alpha wolf first. Ginny didn't intend any disrespect, and she'd hate to alienate those she considered family doing what she thought right.

It was right. Clearly, Percy's words were further under her skin than she realized.

"I hope he doesn't. It's selfish, but I like defying the ministry. Probably a trait I picked up from you, yeah?" She smiled and took a sip of her water. She was using the drink to busy herself, and she knew it.
