Hate Mail
(With Harry)
Harry was in his room. He had been given a copy of the daily prophet by Adam. He told Harry in a letter that everyone now knew he was alive and a neko. It made the dark haired boy sigh. He liked not being bothered and soon he would be.
"That bitch!" He hissed when he read about Lucas apparently abusing him.
"Harry?!" Neville was shocked.
"Here." He handed the paper over.
"Bitch." He said.
"How dare she?! Mum and Lucas are not abusing me!" He was pissed.
"You need to tell them this." He said.
"I know." He scowled.
"Would you like me to come with you?" He asked.
"No. You have that study date with Caroline." He said.
"She will understand." He said.
"I know but it is okay. I'm going to have to tell the headmistress as well. I kinda want to walk there alone." He admitted.
"Okay. I will be in the library until lunch." He told him.1
"Okay." He said.
Harry grabbed the paper and left. He went to the headmistresses office. He told her that his mum and mate would need to hear what he needed to tell them. They waited for the two to arrive. The neko immediately snuggled into his mum. That made them worry.
"So my friend Adam Dreamer gets the Daily Prophet. Despite the fact he lives in France and goes to school there he likes keeping up with the news there for Neville and myself. He sent the paper to me and well…." He just showed them the paper.
Harry Potter is Alive, a Neko and Has a Mate!
"What the?!" Fay took the paper.
"Yeah Skeeter tells them everything and even goes on to say that I am still being abused. She even talks about the school and it isn't pretty." Harry revealed.
"I did not give my permission!" She said, handing the paper to Lucas.
"I figured." He said.
"How was this allowed to be printed?!" The blonde wizard demanded before he handed the paper to the headmistress.
"I have no clue but I do intend to find out." Fay vowed.
"So do I." The headmistress said, pissed off.
"What now?" Harry asked.
"You go about your day. Harmful letters are always redirected to me. I then send them to the ministry here in Egypt. They will deal with them." The head mistress said.
"But she wrote terrible things! She lied!" He wanted her to pay.
"I know and this woman will be punished. I promise you that." She assured him.
"Okay." He calmed down.
"Why don't you spend time with your mate." She suggested.
"Okay." He agreed.
"Let's go." Lucas said.
The two left. Before the two women could speak an owl arrived. He stopped in front of Fay. It held its leg up at her. She could see the letter and grabbed it. She quickly read it and was a little relieved. The British minister was warning her about the article and promising he was investigating the issue.
"Well it seems the article has pissed off the ministry in Britain and he is investigating it. He was trying to warn me beforehand. He also wanted to apologize to all of us, you included, for the article and the backlash it is sure to cause." She said.
"That is good to know." She was pleased the man was doing his job.
"Indeed. If you will excuse me I need to contact my lawyer." She said.
"Of course." She said, "Please keep me informed."
"I will." She promised before leaving.
(A few days later)
"Oh my!" Fay gasped.
"Fay? What is it?" Augusta asked.
"Here." She handed the letter over.
"Dear Merlin!" She gasped.
"I can believe it." She said.
The minister had written to her. He told her how they arrested Rita Skeeter and how she had the article printed after her boss told her told her that Skeeter was murdered while in their custody and before they could learn anything. Next he informed her that they had caught the murderer. Finally he revealed that Skeeter was the last of her line and her estate was being distributed between all the people that were suing her, including Fay.
"That is a lot to take in." Augusta said.
"Indeed." She agreed.
Knock Knock
"One second." Fay said.
"Of course." She said.
Fay answered the door and found it was the headmistress. The woman looked irritated and it made Fay wonder if it was about the harmful hate mail Harry was being sent. So far in the last few days he had received over 5,697 letters of harmful hate mail that had been sent off to the ministry.
"Please tell me everything's alright." She begged.
"Not really but nothing that can't be fixed. I just require permission to just redirect Harry's mail to me for a while. Some people found that their mail was being sent to the ministry and then they were being punished for it so they are just sending him mail filled with hateful content." She showed him the letter Harry had just received.
Dear Potter,
How dare you! My son did nothing wrong and yet you had him arrested! What the fuck is your problem? It isn't his fault that you are a freak. I am sorry to say but having animal ears and a tail makes you a freak.
What right do you have to punish my son for telling you the truth? You don't! It is just too bad that you are alive and your parents are dead. They must regret saving a bastard like you! Sickened by what you are! You should just kill yourself!
I promise you that you will pay for putting my son behind bars! You won't even see me coming. I regret that I helped put Dumbledore down. We should have waited for him to finish you off! I wish you had died that night you-know-who attacked or the night your uncle threw you away! Dursley was right! You are trash and don't deserve to be alive!
Go ahead and show this letter to someone. I dare you! I never signed my name so they won't be able to know who sent it. I will make you pay!
I hate you!
Your worst enemy!
"Oh my!" She gasped. "How dare they!" She shook her head in disgust.
"I agree." She said.
"You have my permission." Fay said.
"Thank you." She said.
"No, thank you for looking out for Harry." She said.
"It is my duty as the headmistress of this school." She smiled.
"Well, you are doing a brilliant job." She smiled back.
"I appreciate you telling me that. If you will excuse me I have a spell to cast." She said.
"Of course. Wait, how is Harry?" She asked.
"He's fine. He just can't believe an adult would write this and send it to him." She answered.
"Neither can I. Have a good day." She said.
"You as well." She left after that.
Fay went back inside. She went to Augusta and told her what happened. The elderly woman was disgusted. She wished some people would actually use their brains but that was never going to happen. At least the headmistress was on top of it.
"I wonder how many he has gotten so far." She said.
"So do I." Fay shook her head.
Later on Fay would learn that Harry received over 10,000 letters of hate mail. It made everyone disgusted. He also received over 5,000 letters wishing and promising to rescue him and protect him. He also received hundreds of love letters. It was ridiculous and they hoped it would end soon.
