The headline says it all, doesn't it?

Because I'm a giving bloke and I've an unyielding need to share this ickle beaut from other parts sunny:

"International Community Expresses Outrage at Racist British Laws" -- Adelaide Independent.

Didn't need a crystal ball to See that one coming. The Daily Messenger's one along similar lines. Ruddy brilliant, yeah? Reckon I'm going to have the lot of them framed. Seems the rest of the world's taking notice and they're not buying into the bigoted bunch of bollocks our dearly loathed Ministry's all about these days. Don't see why they would, anyroad. Reckon they could smell the sodding stink of arse and shite a world and half away.

I just mean- people mostly choose to remain segregated. They choose to marry by bloodline or caste.

But that doesn't mean most Indians condone human rights abuses. I daresay most everyone doesn't condone that.

No, India just condemns the pureblood ones. Mighty damn noble, that.

What do you want from me, Mike? Do you want me not to go there?

It's not that. Fuck. All apologies, Padma. I'm trying to restrain myself from setting the record straight with Zabini's face, is all, and I s'pose I'm channeling all my frustration into our conversation. India's still fucked, but not as much as Blighty. Anywhere's better than Blighty at this point.

Blaise is just acting cocky because he knows he's in the minority and this is the only way he can fight back. It's a small conceit in the light of international condemnation; don't let him upset you.

This is very hard, Mike. I love India, I loved my parents- I know there are Muggleborns and- those without magic born to Pureblood families. Is everything I was taught to believe a lie? Good Merlin, don't answer that. I'm just feeling sorry for myself, I suppose.

And I feel sorry for you too, Mike. I know you don't want it. But I can feel your anger; your home's been taken away from you. I wish I could do something- provide comfort. I wish I could be there.

You're right. Just like to get one good solid throw in. Make him bleed a slight. Knock that ruddy smirk off his sodding face.

The world's nothing like we knew growing up, Padma. Father Christmas, tooth fairies, it's all doxies compared to the bloody monster of a farce our parents kept up as means to shield us from the real world.

My home's here now; been that way for a while. You've to have known as much as well. I'm angry, yeah, but I'm angry on behalf of my friends and my family who still live there.

I miss you as well.

He's not worth your energy, Mike.

I know that. It's just- hard to accept sometimes.

I wish I could check in on your family for you. I haven't even seen anyone- except Lavender- since Merlin knows when. They're all meeting tomorrow for the DA summit, it seems.

How're things going with you? I feel so out of the loop concerning Tony, Pansy and the baby.

I've to disagree with you there. The pleasure I derive from daydreaming about it's well worth the energy. It's bloody brilliant, actually.

I'm sorry.

You can send them post, can't you? They've'n't any laws in place against posting letters to people of different blood yet, have they? Wouldn't surprise me if they had, the near-fascist bastards. Be careful with the DA, yeah?

I'm alright. I picked up a job at a local casino learning the tricks and the trade of a croupier. That starts next week. I've an appointment to meet with my guidance counselor at Annesley a week from today to discuss my options for mid-term enrollment. Looks like Isaac and I're moving in with Tony and that means there'll be ten times the room next time you visit. Not cert how we'll handle living with an infant, but I s'pose there's no harm in giving it a go. How much do you know about Pansy and Tony? You know she's back in Blighty, yeah?

All right, then.

It's not your fault.

I'm not certain if they're checking post; they haven't mentioned as much, but that doesn't mean anything automatically. I'd like to send your mum an owl. ...have you told her about- what happened yet? Is there any message you'd like to impart?

Sounds like you've a handle on things, Mike. I'm so impressed. You're moving in with Tony? It'll be nice to think of the two of you together again. I'd certainly be interested in visiting.

...I wasn't aware of Pansy's situation, no. I have to admit- I've not been paying as much attention to the Firelog network of late. When did she get back? She left Brennan behind?

Nah, I haven't told either her or my dad. Don't reckon I will. There's'n't a need to worry them over something that's already done and over with. But if you wind up writing them, make sure they're okay and tell them I'm thinking of them and I miss them like hell.

Yeah, Isaac and I're both. He's going to need the help and I've to admit we could do with a larger space and a smaller rent. Just hope we don't wind up regretting it.

She left Tony and Brennan. She left them both.
