there’s a reward from the Ministry for everyone captured. I was on my own and I
look like I might be school age; they got really excited, thought I was a Muggle-born
in hiding. I had to talk fast to get out of being
dragged to the Ministry.” 6
A fire danced into life on the other side of the canvas; large shadows passed between tent
and flames. The delicious smell of baking salmon wafted tantalizingly in their direction.
Then came the clinking of cutlery on plates, and the first man spoke again.
“Here, Griphook, Gornuk.” Goblins Hermione mouthed at Harry, who
nodded.
“Thank you,” said the goblins together in English.
“So, you three been on the run how long?” asked a new, mellow, and pleasant voice; it
was vaguely familiar to Harry, who pictured a round-bellied, cheerfulfaced man.
“Six weeks . . . seven . . . I forget,” said the tired man. “Met up with Griphook in the first
couple of days and joined forces with Gornuk not long after. Nice to have a bit of
company.” There was a pause, while knives scraped plates and tin mugs were picked up
and replaced on the ground. “What made you leave,Ted?” continued the man.
“Knew they were coming for me,” replied mellow-voiced Ted,
and Harry suddenly knew who he was:
Tonks’s father. “Heard Death Eaters were in the area last
week and decided I’d better run for it. Refused to register as a Muggleborn on
principle, see, so I knew it was a matter of
time, knew I’d have to leave in the end. My wife should be okay, she’s pure-blood. And
then I meant Dean where, what, a few days ago, son?”
“Yeah,” said another voice, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared at each other, silent but
beside themselves with excitement, sure they recognized the voice of Dean Thomas, their
fellow Gryffindor. Totalitarianism

“Muggle-born, eh?” asked the first man. “Not sure,” said Dean. “My dad left my mum
when I was a kid. I’ve got no proof he was a wizard, though.”

photograph of his own face filled the front page. He read the headline over it: WANTED

“So Death Eaters have taken over the Daily Prophet too?” asked Hermione furiously.

He strode to her as quickly as he could through all the clutter. The front of
The Quibbler carried his own picture, emblazoned with the words UNDESIRABLE
NUMBER ONE and captioned with the reward money.
“The Quibbler’s going for a new angle, then?” Harry asked coldly, his mind working
very fast. “Is that what you were doing when you went into the garden, Mr. Lovegood?
Sending an owl to the Ministry?” Xenophilius licked his lips.
“They took my Luna,” he whispered. “Because of what I’ve been writing. They
took my Luna and I don’t know where she is, what they’ve done to her. But they might give
her back to me if I —if I—”
“Hand over Harry?” Hermione finished for him.
“No deal,” said Ron flatly. “Get out of the way, we’re leaving.”
Xenophilius looked ghastly, a century old, his laps drawn back into a dreadful leer.
“They will be here at any moment. I must save Luna. I cannot lose Luna.You must not
leave.” Totalitarianism

Muggles for fun. Even the fogs —they’re
caused by dementors, and if you can’t remember what they are, a

mouth. With his parents’ and Harry’s eyes upon him, he slowly lowered them again and
asked, “There are . . . more of them?” “More?” laughed Harry. “More than the two
that attacked us, you mean? Of course there are, there are hundreds, maybe thousands by
this time, seeing as they feed of fear and despair
—” “All right, all right,” blustered Vernon
Dursley. “You’ve made your point—” “I hope so,” said Harry, “because once I’m
seventeen, all of them —Death Eaters,
dementors, maybe even Inferi —which means
dead bodies enchanted by a Dark Wizard —
will be able to find you and will certainly attack you. And if you remember the last time
you tried to outrun wizards, I think you’ll agree
you need help.” Totalitarianism

14 “Many of our oldest family trees become a

“You must prune yours, must you not, to keep it healthy? Cut away those parts that
threaten the health of the rest.” “Yes, my Lord,” whispered Bellatrix, and her
eyes swam with tears of gratitude again. “At the first chance”
“You shall have it,” said Voldemort. “And in your family, so
in the world. . . we shall cut away the canker that infects us until only those of the true
blood remain . . . ” Totalitarianism

15 ‗The great Atrium seemed darker than Harry
remembered it. Previously a golden fountain had filled the center of the hall, casting
shimmering spots of light over the polished wooden floor and walls. Now a gigantic
statue of black stone dominated the scene. It was rather frightening, this was sculpture of a
witch and a wizard sitting on ornately carved thrones, looking down at the Ministry workers
toppling out of fireplaces below them. Engraved in foot-high letters at the base of the
statue were the words MAG
IC IS MIGHT’. Harry looked more closely and realized that
what he had though were decoratively carved thrones were actually mounds of carved
human: hundreds and hundreds of naked bodies, men, women, and children, all with
rather stupid,ugly faces, twisted and pressed together to support the weight of the hand
somely robed wizards.
“Muggles,” whispered Hermione. “In their rightful place. Come on, let’s get going.”

17 “My Lord” Snape protested, raising his
wand. “It cannot be any other way,” said Voldemort.
“I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last.”
And Voldemort swiped the air with the ElderWand. It did nothing to Snape, who for a
split second seemed to think he had been
reprieved: but then Voldemort’s intention became clear. The snake’s cage was rolling
through the air,and before Snape could do anything more than yell, it had encased him,
head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue.
“Kill.” There was a terrible scream. Harry saw
Snape’s face losing the little color it had left; it whitened as his black eyes widened, as the
snake’s fangs pierced his neck, as he failed to push the enchanted cage off himself, as his
knees gave way and he fell to the floor.
“I regret it,” said Voldemort coldly. He turned away; there was no sadness in him,
no remorse. Code of behavior

— Your point about Wizard dominance being
FOR THE MUGGLES’ OWN GOOD—this, I think is the crucial point. Yes, we have been
given power and yes, that power gives up the right to rule, but it also gives us
responsibilities over the ruled. We must stress this point, it will be the foundation stone upon
which we build. Where we are opposed, as we surely will be, this must be the basis of all our
counterarguments. We seize control FOR THE GREATER GOOD. And from this it
follows that where we meet resistance, we must use only the force that is necessary and
no more. This was your mistake at Government

saw something to distract him from his search:
Mr. Weasley’s file. He pulled it out and opened it.
