Disclaimers: As much as I may want to claim ownership of this famous series, I can't because Harry Potter belongs to a whole lot of different companies that I can't remember the names of at the moment. Any characters that appear in this fic that is not a part of the original series, belong to me so don't take them without asking first.

Marriage Law Rejection Letters
Letter #41
Submitted By: decoy73
Sequel to: Letter #21
===============================
Dear Minister,
How in the hell did you become Minister? I am serious, because it is clear you do not understand how unpopular you are right now? Do you remember that letter from Pansy, where she said that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement came to a unanimous decision against enforcing the marriage law?
That was NOT a joke.
At present, the only reason that you still have a Department of Magical Law Enforcement or an Auror Corps is because if everyone against this law resigned, there would be no DMLE or Auror Corps, and anyone that you hire in our place would likely not have the basic ability to tell right from wrong in either a moral or factual sense.
While we were going out to talk to the people who were supposed to be married, we did one thing that you clearly forgot to do: we ASKED for their opinions. Out of every person we asked, whether chosen to be married or not, only one person was willing to comply with the law and get married.
Cormac McLaggen was ready to marry, but only on the condition that the wife you picked out for him was willing. When he met her, he turned green and cursed me on the spot. I didn't press any charges, as the wife in question was a nine year old muggleborn girl, and I had to calm her down and explain to her and her understandably enraged parents that there has been a mistake, which there has been.
Perhaps Director Parkinson didn't make this clear enough, but the Ministry has been FLOODED with Howlers ever since you started enforcing this decision, and public faith in the Ministry is at an all-time low.
I'm not one for big words, so I'm going to say this in nice simple language. You are an idiot. You are an idiot for not making sure that a law like this would have public support. You are an idiot for pushing it through when it didn't have any support, you are an idiot for blaming the public for being angry at your mistake, and you are DEFINITELY an idiot for threatening to arrest and ruin those that are angry with this law when they have every reason to be. This law is ruining lives, it is ruining families, and it is ruining the public faith that the Ministry has worked to regain. By the time the Wizengamot starts its next session, we had BETTER see this law repealed, or we will repeal it after we sack you.
Respectfully,
Gregory Joshua Goyle
Head of the Auror Office
