I hate this.

I should be happy. I should be celebrating the victory like everyone else is, reveling in the fact that a bunch of dangerous criminals are off the streets and will soon (because there is very little chance of the Wizengamot actually finding any of them innocent, warranted or not) be behind bars. But that is what is bothering me. I don't even know who picked the targets. What made them think that they were doing any good by setting them on people who we had no proof on, not even the smallest shred of suspicion? Burke? Evangeline? The Wilkes patriarch makes at least some sense considering his eldest daughter he to be introduced to it somehow, but...

Were we just chucking things at whoever we could get them on? When did I stop paying attention to what was going on around me? When did I let this get bigger than I could handle? When did this get bigger than I could handle?

I want out. I want out. I want out, but I can't just abandon them all. I'm so tired. I'm tired in a way that I don't think any of the rest of them are. I doubt they think about these things. It's all black and white to them. Us verses Them. Death Eaters are Death Eaters. Anyone associated with Death Eaters are just as bad. It doesn't matter whether they've done anything or not, they're just as guilty. They might as well be condemned all the same.

It doesn't matter that we might be sending someone innocent to Azkaban just because they don't agree with us. But this is an ideological war. I don't see why I'm surprised.

[PRIVATE TO SEVERUS]

So. Canada? Either that or Australia.

	I was thinking Australia, but I could be persuaded another direction. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Australia. Australia works. It's far enough away that neither of us will have to deal with all of this crap anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can we bring Agnes along? (I'm aware it might mean kicking and screaming, but I'm sure she'd break my nose a few more times and get over it once we got there). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a lot of people I'd like to bungle up and get the hell away from this train wreck. Agnes is one of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I'd do Lily too if I could. But fuck it, I miss Agnes a lot right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think any of this feels off to them at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I already talked to Lily - and I don't know. In my defense, I was at least partially drunk at the time... I think I keep seeing people getting more and more firmly entrenched in their sides, and... it's not getting better. (Reply to this) (Parent)
