Letter 2
Title: Letter 2
Author: minnabird
Claim: My strange AU
Fandom: Harry Potter
Table: 2
Prompt: 25, Intimidated
Warnings: AU, Mild Profanity
Word count: 349
Summary: Sirius describes the state of things in London as Voldemort's reign begins.
Disclaimer/Claimer: The world and characters (except any OCs who pop up) aren't mine, they're JKR's, but I took *cough* a few liberties with her history.
A/N: This is set probably a few weeks after Letter 1, maybe a bit more. Also, text block of dooom but I can't imagine Sirius adding in paragraph breaks really so that's what happens.

Prongs-
I think if I ran into Voldemort on the street I’d punch him in the face, even if we were surrounded by Death Eaters. It wouldn’t be nearly enough to make up for what he’s done, but it would make me feel a little better. He’s Minister now, have you heard? Damn him, it was only a matter of time after Dumbledore. You have no idea what it’s been like here since you left. Muggles are being killed left and right, they’ve definitely noticed something’s happening , and the Death Eaters aren’t bothering too much with secrecy. There have been attacks on Muggle-borns by the new Ministry (raids, I think they’re calling them, looking for illegal substances, but I didn’t listen too hard because it’s obvious what it really is), and they’re not too happy with me, either, so I’ve been keeping my head low. Word is that Voldemort’s cooking up something new, some big and powerful magic, and [here the parchment is marred by a large blot]
I can’t think how I was going to end that sentence. There was a…sound, I think, but not really a sound. I was always rubbish at describing things, but that’s the best I’ve got. Not important, anyway. The point is, I dashed outside just then to see what was going on. Well, we found out what Voldemort’s been up to. It’s a great big boundary spell, running all round London. I knew he was powerful, but this is just…I can’t think of a word strong enough for what it is. I’ve never seen a spell that big and powerful. If Voldemort can do that, well, no wonder he managed to finish Dumbledore off, you know? It’s not meant to keep anyone in, though. The spell, I mean. It seems like it’s meant to keep something out, though what I can’t imagine. All I’ve heard is garbled reports, though, none of them really agree with each other on more than that. I’m going to head out now and see if I can find anything more solid. Give Lily a kiss for me, and tell Moony not to eat too many ginger newts - he’ll teach my godson bad habits.
