Plan of Attack

[Antonia Greyback]

Spelled that only Greybacks can read

See, it’s possible that we know the world better because of the blood that visits some of us. It interrupts our favorite white skirts, and shows up at dinner parties unannounced, blood will do that, period. It will come when you are not prepared for it; blood does that, period. Blood is the biggest siren, and we understand that blood misbehaves, it does not wait for a hand signal, or a welcome sign above the door. And when you deal in blood over and over again like we do, when it keeps returning to you, well, that makes you a warrior.And while all good generals know not to discuss battle plans with the enemy, let me say this to you, dummy on Twitter, If there’s any balance in the universe at all, you’re going to be blessed with daughters. Blessed.

So to my daughter: Should any fool mishandle that wild geography of your body, how it rides a red running current like any good wolf or witch, well then just bleed, boo. Get that blood a biblical name, something of stone and mortar. Name it after Eve’s first rebellion in that garden, name it after the last little girl to have her genitals mutilated in Kinshasa, that was this morning. Give it as many syllables as there are unreported rape cases.

Name the blood something holy, something mighty, something unlanguageable, something in hieroglyphs, something that sounds like the end of the world. Name it for the war between your legs, and for the women who will not be nameless here. Just bleed anyhow, spill your impossible scripture all over the good furniture. Bleed, and bleed, and bleed on everything he loves, period.

So, today the minister has announced that he shall resign his post! such news and I already fear the people who will come forward to take his place, all of those who hounded him out! the Malfoys and Lestranges of this world who have had a strangle hold on Politics for years, who sit in the Wizengemot in judgement on others and who would throw a child out of school simply because she was attacked by a werewolf!

SHAME! on all of them. So I have discussed it with Fenrir, and we agree. If I wish to I shall run for minister. It is strange to commit the action to paper but I shall do it! I will not allow my children and grandchildren to be ostracised any longer because someone doesnt understand what they are. I will not stand for it!

No more will the Greyback hide in the Reach while others are outed and thrown out of society because they spend 3 days a month as a dog! while I might spend weeks as a dog and still be invited to every ball in town! It shall not stand, or at least I will not stand idly by and do nothing until they come for my family!

I have told the children, I missed Angus as he had already gone for the train, but I shall send him a letter ot tell him. I shall also have to tell Marcus and Octavia, I doubt they will be pleased with the news. Innis is very excited, she immediatly went and made a button out of one of the sashes from the protest at the ministry. It is good to know that they will support me.

The moon is coming and Angus has gone back to the reach, and little Angus has gone off to school! How strange the house feels without him pretending to howl at the moon for most of the evening. He has promised me faithfully that he will not play such games while at Hogwarts.

However, with all the gossip around the goings on in the forest I've decided not to join Angus in the reach, instead I intend to spend the evening in the forest to try and see for myself the effect of the new laws on the halfbreeds that are being forced to live there. I do hope it's not so bad as the tittle tattle would imply, the thought of half vampires, half veela and newly turned werewolves being killed in the forbidden forest breaks my heart! This cannot be allowed to continue.
