Neo-Death Eaters and Other Problems Chapter 17:
'Muggles generally are not told about matters concerning the Wizarding World, unless they're heads of state, family members of witches and/or wizards, or something very similar.', Lukas calmly enlightened the crowd that in his opinion should've already been aware of this.
'Makes sense.', Roderich broke in. 'Perhaps an explanation of the abomination known as Death Eaters are in order?'
'I think it might be.', Elizaveta agreed.
Gilbert, not wanting to give Edelstein any chance at getting any more attention from Elizaveta, hurriedly gave an explanation.
'Some generations ago, a group of people decided to take their dislike and distrust of Muggle borns and Muggles to the extreme. They conspired and executed plans to cleanse the world of them, and everyone supporting them. They were not the first to do so, but they were the most "successful", the most dangerous and the deadliest. They'd a leader whom everyone followed fanatically, barely ever questioning him. They worked during two periods in our history; called The First Wizarding War and The Second Wizarding War. They were nearly successful during the Second, but thankfully they were stopped.'
'So, that's what Death Eaters are?', Kharma exclaimed.
'Yes,', Gilbert replied, awesomely pleased with himself for having given such an awesome, understandable explanation.
'How horrible!', Elizaveta grimaced. 'They sound like Nazis!'
'Nazis?'
'Basically, what you just told us about the Death Eaters. Come to think of it, they've, unfortunately, inspired a new generation being called, and calling themselves, Neo-Nazis.'
'And there you have Neo-Death Eaters.', Arthur exclaimed, 'Though the dangers they possess are barely the tenth of what the Death Eaters possessed, with less power and even less influence.'
'In addition to them, we've got people that are generally jealous to contend with, idiots that try to impress others with using their powers outside Wizarding Communities, in an obvious fashion and general diseases.', Lukas said, in an even, monotone voice that sent involuntarily shivers through everyone.
Author's notes:
I must say, that I'm rather proud of myself for the explanation Gilbert's giving.
In the next chapter:
As often happened when a group of people were being asked a question that had ramifications on their life, there was a silent humming as people mulled over it.
