On The Loose

A whole bunch of the most dangerous Death Eaters just escaped from Azkaban. This is the worst thing that could possibly happen. I mean, it was scary enough when Sirius escaped (well, when I thought he was a Death Eater, obviously), but this is worse. Sirius had been just one man, but these are many Death Eaters.

I've heard of some of them before, but most of them I know nothing about. The worst part is, they are in Azkaban because they refused to deny they were loyal to You Know Who. They would do anything for him. The ones like the Malfoys...they denied it to save themselves. They're just idiots, really.

You would think that this breakout would convince the Ministry that what Harry has been saying really is true. You Know Who really is back. But, of course, they say it's just a coincidence. And they use Sirius Black as an excuse. If he could do it, then it was only a matter of time before someone else managed it. Or in this case, quite a few of them.

The Dementors probably let them escape. They were probably offered something by You Know Who and changed sides. Personally, I wouldn't want to work for the Ministry right now, either.

But it just makes me so angry. How can they keep ignoring the signs? Everything is pointing to the fact that he is back, but they're just too scared. How can a bunch of school kids (Dumbledore's Army) be able to try and stand up to him, but the Ministry can't? It's ridiculous.

And it makes Cedric Diggory look like he died for nothing. They won't even acknowledge that he died at the hands of Dark magic.

Rita Skeeter, of course, is having a field day with all this. But at least Hermione has found away to stop her from writing rubbish about Harry (she discovered Skeeter is an illegal Animagus). She's still enjoying putting Dumbledore down and writing as if he his nuts.

But Dumbledore still has his supporters (like me and my family and Harry and Hermione). We'll always believe him over anything the Ministry say. Especially right now. And, of course, I believe Harry.

So, despite the fact that Death Eaters just caused a mass breakout in Azkaban, ever since term restarted, Umbridge has been going about her usual business. She couldn't wait to put Hagrid on probation (and Trelawney, but that doesn't bother me as much, truthfully). Poor Hagrid, though. He may not be the best teacher, but he's still our friend.


Thanks once again for your lovely reviews. They are much appreciated :)
