I really shouldn't be doing this. It's improper- Mum says that we should never call people names, but I am… angry.

You-Know-Who killed four of my uncles, six of my cousins, my best friend's mum and dad, and left Auntie Muriel untouched. Does he know no justice? I'm a first year and even I know that you shouldn't go around killing people, especially with Unforgivables. Dad says that the Ministry strictly prohibits it. Laws are made for a reason, or at least that's what Mum says.

I know he's dead; Harry Potter killed him, but what really angers me is that he was never truly punished. There was no trial, only a quick flash of light and he was dead. That should not have happened. And so, even though it's a futile and pointless effort, I sit here on my four-poster penning a letter to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named as if he were still alive.

I take a deep breath, dip my quill, and begin.

Sir:

Recently, I have become aware of your extreme disregard for the laws and rules of the magical community. Did you know that you could be put in Azkaban for everything you're doing? Don't you know that one man can't run a country, and that diplomacy must survive?

Please, don't take this the wrong way, but it is my opinion that you deserve a trial and a straight trip to hell. Pardon me (Mum would kill me if she read this) but I am inclined to agree with Oliver Wood, a fellow Gryffindor who is in my year.

Even if he does break the rules, he seems a decent bloke. Anyway, he said that you should be chained to a bed and have devil's snare grow through your insides and out, squeezing your testicles until it is certain that you shall produce no heirs to carry out your evil plots for ridiculous ideas.

Please, don't Avada Kedavra the owl; I am simply conveying a message from a classmate.

You should have been taught better than that. And what's this about purebloods being better than half-bloods or Muggle-borns? Or even Muggles? What's wrong with not having magic?

Muggles are not to be trifled with, and neither are other witches and wizards. It's a bad thing you're doing, and I will not stand for it. I, Percival Weasley the pureblood wizard, am not pleased with your representation of the ideas purebloods should have. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I fear my letter is running long, and so I shall leave you with a few last statements. You, sir, are an ugly stain upon the face of the magical community. I am aware that your mother died before you truly knew her, and for that I am sorry. Maybe if you would have grown up with a mother who enforces the rules, you would have a backbone.

Also on the subject of backbones, I would like to say that if you ever try to harm my friends or family, or if I ever get a chance to see you in person, my first inclination will be to claw out your spine with my bare hands and to bludgeon you with it while reciting the Ministry statutes to you. I'll probably just turn you over to the Aurors, though.

Hoping that you are very unwell and rotting in a hole somewhere,

Percival Weasley

P.S. Please, do not perceive my opinions for insolence. I don't mean to be rude.
