Hello~Otts! I'm so glad you posted here. I've been wondering when you would be able to, and what your post would be. Things were looking awfully bad for Ottery. I've read your post and have to say it's the most incredible thing I've read of yours. In my opinion anyway. The first 4 paragraphs were supurb. You must save them and use them in a story you can get paid for. They were beyond brilliant! I love how Ottery is sitting there pondering the the reason he is there. He isn't making excuses or feeling sorry for himself. He is I think feeling remorse for the lives lost, his friends, the girl he used the unforgivable on for he wasn't expecting her to go to the lengths she went to to carry out his command.

The three guards all had their wands out pointing at the boy ready to kill him, in an ironic twist, the ministry had overturned the use of some unforgivables but only for use by their soldiers.
So not fair! But, alas, that's the government for yuh.

“It must be easy to be one of the prattling cattle that doesn’t rule. You all seem to think that leadership is this candy coated pastry stick we all want to eat. Well it‘s not! With it comes the responsibility of leading the useless, the stubborn, the good and the evil, with it comes the charge of maintaining order and peace and with rabble rousers like you I can assure you it isn‘t as easy a job as you‘d like it to seem.”
Who is he to call Ottery a rabble rouser and a prattling cow?!?!?!?! He thinks he's got everything figured out, yet he doesn't have his priorities figured out. The Ministry are the ones causing predjucies (sp?) and babbling like fools. Does he think Dumbledore an evil wizard? He better, well I'll stop there before I get in trouble with the Ministry myself.

Well, Scrimgeour, What do you think? If you want to ride in a time machine just ask politely. Don't beat around the bush and be all rude about it. It might not turn out favorable for you.
Super great post Ottery! It was all brilliant! So very brilliant! Please post soon. I don't want the story to end though.
