One Wand Raised
A/N
: Hello:D thank you for reading this fic I know the title is kinda
unusual allow me to explain. In today's world there are a few
truths not a lot of people know and I felt compelled to bring it out
after a very personal incident regarding the topic.
-
Child
trafficking is the third most profitable business in the
world
-
Over
two thirds of children trafficked end up in the porn
business
-
Most
people in the porn industry don't even know how they ended up
there. Being there is not their fault, It's their
misfortune.
-
Let
your heart pity them instead of letting your mind discriminate
against them.
-
You
can make a difference.
-
Go
to
Let
humanity triumph in the face of adversity.
This
fic is dedicated to every person who has ever done something they
thought was unforgivable, as a reminder that everyone deserves and
gets a second chance, make the best of yours. A shout out to Beta
Snotoriā¦.And please R&R even if it's just to say you hate the
fic!
A/N: this is the beta-ed version of the former prologue
The Worlds are at peace for the first time in decades. The War, which had startedlong before the birth of Harry Potter, is finally over; yet still, the people have not changed.
Argus Flitch continues to roam the halls terrorizing the students of Hogwarts. Mr. Ollivander still remembers every wand ever sold while the goblins at Gringotts still annoy the witches and wizards to no end. Mr. Potter informs us his famous scar still attracts as much attention as ever but he's learned to live with it.
Then, we ask, has the war not affected our race at all? Have the many deaths and unhealable wounds not changed any of us? The answer can be seen most clearly in the Wizarding World's personal 'Fairy Tale', that are the Malfoy's.
Anyone who does not know about the Weasley-Malfoy autumn marriage already is either, deaf and blind or lives in the mountains up with Voldemort's giants and remaining Death Eaters. The Weasley-Malfoy wedding was the biggest wedding of our time. The happy couple married in the beautiful country of France; which is where it is rumored the now Mrs. Malfoy was in hiding after the war. Why one would hide after that war is beyond us. Today happens to be the couple's First Anniversary and on behalf of the Daily Prophet this reporter is wishing them love and prosperity; both of which they seem to already have in abundance.
Most interesting is the couple's choice to celebrate this day at work. Yes, my dear readers, at work! Mrs. Malfoy, with support from her husband began the 'Raise Your Wand' program at London yesterday and today is their first official work day.
Raise Your Wand is a charity program tailored for witches and wizards who are "Trapped," as Mrs. Malfoy says "in the painful and terrifying word of pornography and prostitution." Mrs. Malfoy herself admits to having been undercover for a secret group that worked against Voldemort called The Order and claims that nothing she has ever seen has terrified her more than the tears in the eyes of the newly trafficked children. "Tears that were more the loss of hope than actual fear," She is reported to have said.
It has been said that her husband Draco Malfoy has already donated over 4 million galleons to his wife's charity program and is on this very day helping her at the office. As close family friend Hermione Granger was heard to say, "For once Draco doesn't seem to mind being one step behind someone."
So as this day comes to a close let us all think on those others less fortunate then ourselves and although not many of us can donate millions of gallons I have been assured they accept any donations no matter how small. Also remember there are other ways besides money we can help Raise Your Wand; we can donate clothes, furniture, or anything else they can use or sell and the most important thing we can donate is our time. I myself raided my closet and am going to hold my wand high in an attempt to help this wonderful organization.
