Three years since we have read about Death Eaters in The Prophet. Three years since a publicized attack.
Yet, where is the reward for the Aurors who fought so valiantly to protect us? Not a word spoken of them since either. Instead, more often than not, they are shove aside to desk jobs when they can no longer handle the fieldwork that took so much from them. No longer useful to the M.L.E., the thanks they get is being carefully hidden away so no one has to remember the horrors that once plagued us.
It’s outrageous the lack of credit these men and women get. Sure every Halloween we celebrate the fall of he-who-shall-not-be-named. Celebrate the boy who lived, but Harry Potter was a baby. Why don’t we celebrate those who were tortured trying everything in their power to stop you-know-who as well? Who gave everything to fight the same fight. The Ministry can’t even do a proper job of helping them cope with the fact the war is over.
This needs to change. The Ministry needs to help our Aurors. We need to help our Aurors. We can’t just pretend the war never happened. We can’t forget those who volunteered to fight for us, because we never know just when we’ll need them again. |
