To the wizarding world at large:

My name is Harry Potter, and unfortunately I have just come back from a very dissatisfying meeting with our so called Minister, Cornelius Fudge.

Why was it dissatisfying?

We can start with his campaign to discredit me, all the while he was covering up evil happenings, and that his 'government' actively supported.

Let's start with the case of Rubius Hagrid, caretaker, teacher, and imprisioned in Azkaban without trial. What do I mean? During my second year, Hogwarts was attacked by a Basilisk that was petrifying students. I still have the ruddy scar on my arm where it bit me. But will the esteemed, so called Minister investigate? That is the real question.

That year he put Rubius Hagrid in Azkaban, "Just to be seen doing something". That meant Hagrid, and INNOCENT man, was sent to the dementors on the basis that Fudge did not want to investigate anything on the advice of known death eater, Lucius Malfoy, who hatched a plan to release a sixty foot basilisk on the staff and students of Hogwarts. His actions to score political points was worth more than every man, woman, and child in Hogwarts. He was willing to let YOUR CHILDREN be killed just to say that he investigated something and found a solution when he did no such thing.

Then there is Sirius Black, another INNOCENT man tossed in Azkaban without trial, without even checking his wand. If I remember correctly, this so called Minister claimed I was confunded and that Sirius was guilty of the crimes. We also learned he was the one who snapped Sirius' wand without performing the priori incantatum spell which would have shown what spells were last cast. While a person like Bellatrix Lestrange had a trial, and Lucius Malfoy was let off on his claim of being under the Imperious curse, Sirius, the man who came to save my life, and lost his in a battle against Bellatrix Lestrange this past month, was just tossed in the worst place on the planet based mostly on Cornelius Fudge's actions at the scene.

Now let's take a look at the year where I was ILLEGALLY entered into the tri-wizard tournament. Known death eater, Barty Crouch Junior, the man who entered me in the tournament, admitted under veritaserum that he was doing this to allow his master, Tom Marvolo Riddle, the half blood who became the so called Lord Voldemort, to come back. With proof that the dark mark on the skin of known death eaters had reappeared, and given the names of those death eaters who attended this ritual, including the supposedly dead Peter Pettigrew, the real BETRAYER of my parents, so called Minister Fudge had him kissed so that he could run around claiming I am deranged.

In fact, his senior undersecretary, Deloris Umbridge, sent dementors after me in a muggle neighborhood, and the Minister, in an action to cover another blunder of his government, changed the time of the supposed trial for underage magic and breaking the International Statute of Secrecy, changed the time and sent notice to me just five minutes before it was supposed to take place. I had no one to defend me, and whenever I tried to speak up and defend myself, he would shout me down with the help of the aforementioned Deloris Umbridge.

Thanks to Professor Dumbledore, who had found a witness, I was able to get off, but in any case, there is a clause for defense, and how can I have broken the international statute when the muggle who saw the patronus that I released was my squib cousin, Dudley Dursley. This was just another strike against a man who covers up crimes to keep in office.

Finally, there was last year, with his 'Educational Decrees' designed by him, Lucius Malfoy, and Deloris Umbridge to prevent anyone except certain Slytherins from learning anything at all. The books that we were forced to use, for instance, in defense, were less than what the school was teaching in first year under Voldemort possessed teacher Quirill. We were told by Umbridge that we would only use our wands in the exams, and not before. Meantime, she gets away with letting bullys run the school, getting Headmaster Dumbledore tossed out of the school by calling him an insurrectionist and traitor to the wizarding world because the students decided we needed a study group in order to at least learn enough to pass the exams, and letting Umbridge torture students by using a blood quill for hours on end for weeks at a time to write lines and having her consider using the Cruciatus curse to maintain discipline and keep everyone following the Ministry's orders. If you want, here is a picture of the results of those lines on the back of my hand. I am sure that many students who also had to do this should consider a full lawsuit against the ministry for allowing this to happen with their permission, under their watch, under the teacher they chose, and with full backing of so called Minister Fudge.

But now that he has acknowledged that Voldemort is back, a year late and a year underprepared due to his actions, he wants me to back him in session in the Wizengamot to not loose his position, or failing that to support him for his reelection to the position of Minister.

He gave me something to think about.

Of course, I refuse to support him. In fact, if there is a single vote for him, I will personally leave the country. I will support anyone else, including Voldemort to the position of Minister, because at least we will have a person who does not hide their evil.

I have been debased, kept as a slave, a prisoner, and more thanks to this Wizarding world. The biggotry, the hatred, and more make me think that it is not worth saving, especially the sheep who continue to follow what the paper says to and not standing up for what is right. As I write this in Gringotts, the Goblins have agreed to remove my gold to somewhere offshore where I will spend the rest of my summer, and if things do not change, I will not be back. I will have also spent the money to send copies of this to every human man, wioman and child in the British isles who is magical, with carbon copies to the Prime Minister of Britain and to the Royal Family as well as to the ministries and governments around the world along with the leaders of every sentient magical species who have their own government.

Now the Prophet cannot lie about my words in this letter which has also been sent to every media outlet in the world. I thank the Goblins for using the little known laws to allow this letter to be sent, at the Ministry's expense to inform you. Now you have to think.

Do you keep Fudge, and the way things are, do you support Tom Riddle, or do you actually get off your bottoms and fight for your country, for change, and for the end of bigotry.

I will know by September first. And if I do not like it, I will answer with not being at Hogwarts. Your choice, do you help, do you hinder, do you be a slave, or do you save your nation?

I await your response.
