Memory Broadcast

Ginny let out a content sigh and rolled on her bed, playing with one of the MP Lite bought by her parents.

She had just talked with her eldest brother Bill whom she also loved the most of all her brothers.

The Magical Phone was truly a piece of art.

Before this she would only be able to talk with her eldest brother once or twice in a month because he usually worked with the Goblins and those Goblins didn't generally use Floo.

It was not that the Goblins could not use Floo but more like they were banned from using it by the Ministry who wanted total control over them.

But now she didn't have to wait for the end of the month to talk with her brother.

She picked up the MP Lite once again before opening the game with the snake and the apples in which the snake grew by eating the apples.

She had no idea how Harry had created this game but she rather enjoyed playing with it when she was bored.

She was on the third level of the game when a 'ping' noise came out of the Phone and she almost dropped it in her surprise.

Thankfully, she was laying on her bed so even if it fell down, it would not break.

Plus the people selling these phones that told them that the Phones had been coated with Unbreakable charm so it not break unless someone is trying really really hard to do so.

She looked at the yellow box that had appeared on to the of her Phone and clicked on it which instantly opened another page in front of her.

On the top of the page were the words 'Daily Videos' in bold letters.

Below it, there was a box with the view of Diagon Alley and some aurors on the left side and a few words on the right side.

The words read:- "New law by the aurors: Do as we say or we'll blow your brains"

Intrigued by the wordings, she clicked on the video and what she saw next was something that she had really not expected to see.

Two seconds in the video and she instantly realized that she was seeing everything from Harry Potter's perspective.

The video was created in a way that she was able to see the back of his head as he moved forward while still not hindering the viewer's view from the rest of the things happening in front of her.

The thought that she was seeing the video from Harry Potter's perspective alone made her swoon and she felt a bit closer to him because of the video.

Then as the video progressed, she saw the guards and employees from the 'Magical Goods' Shop confronting the Aurors about something.

She frowned and wondered what this was all about as a sick feeling started forming in her stomach and she was reminded of the words of this video at once.

New law by the aurors: Do as we say or we'll blow your brains

She bit her lip and watched in silence as Harry moved forward, took out his wand and waved his it negligently and…

Silence.

She gasped at the liberal use of the wordless silencing charm used by him.

Despite not having attended Hogwarts just yet, she knew that this was a fairly complex charm because she seen her eldest brother performing it on Fred and George once and he had told her that it was a 4th or 5th year charm.

But not only did Harry knew how to perform this charm, he also knew how to do it wordlessly.

Then she thought about it for a while and realized that of course he did.

He was a genius who had invented the Magical Phone she was currently using so such simple charms should be really easy for him to perform.

Then she watched with bated breath as Harry took control of the situation like the hero he was and confronted the big bad aurors with such ease that it seemed like he was the grown up in this event and everyone else was a child.

She frowned when the Aurors told him to close him shop and come with him to the ministry. She frowned even harder when the Auror in the lead said "Let me tell you another law you brat. Come with me or I'll blow your brains all over the street."

She felt angry at the auror for treating her Harry like this.

Who the hell does he think he is to threaten him like this.

Does he thinks that just because he's an auror, he could get away with doing anything he wanted?

But with that anger was also a bit of fear that Harry wouldn't be harmed in this confrontation.

She knew that he was Harry Potter. Someone who had killed the Dark Wizard as a child so it was unlikely that he would be harmed but that didn't changed the fear in her heart as he stood boldly in front of the obviously corrupt auror and told him to 'Do it.'

To blow his head over the street if he dared.

And she felt herself falling for him all over again.

The courage and confidence he was showing was exactly what she had seen him in her dreams.

Like a hero of the Wizarding world.

Like it's savior.

The confrontation then moved onward among the auror forces as they started to fight amongst each other before Madam Amelia Bones came in and took control of the situation.

At that point, she saw the corrupted auror lying to the Head of the DMLE through his teeth like an accomplished liar and how he tried his best to stop her Harry from providing the evidence to his threats to him.

The memory ended when Harry started going toward the fireplace in order to Floo to the Ministry.

But when she thought that the memory would stop, another scene started to play out in which Harry was sitting in a desk in his Hogwarts robes and looking directly at her.

Her heart started beating faster and her cheeks flushed and she almost didn't heard what he said at the start before she got control over her emotions, realizing that he was looking at someone else whose memory she was seeing right now and not her.

She felt a bit dejected at that realization but still focused on his words.

"Auror John Dawlish was suspended from the auror forces and demoted by one rank. A light tap on the wrist when you realize the gravity of his crimes."

"So within a week's worth of time, this Auror John Dawlish would come back and join the auror forces once again and get the free reign to do as he wished according to his new law of 'Do as I say or I'll blow your brains.'"

"Today, it has happened to me. Tomorrow, it could happen to you. Any of you."

"He could simply come to your home and order you around while holding you at the wand point because he the power of the ministry behind him and he now knows that he could get away with doing whatever he wants with a simple one week of Suspension."

"Or worse. He could do it with your children like how he did it with me. I was able to stand up against him but not every child is capable of standing against an adult wizard who has a wand pointed at him or her."

She felt a bit fearful as she realized that yes, if that auror had pointed the wand at her and threatened her like that then she really would not have been able to muster up enough courage to go against him.

The fear took deep roots in her heart as she wondered if anyone in the auror forces could actually be trusted at all.

Even Madam Amelia Bones, someone whom everyone thought as a strictly law abiding citizen had simply let the man go with a light tap on the hand for punishment.

Was she she even safe in her own home when Aurors like these were prowling outside.

The thought made her fearful but Harry continued so she listened.

"Citizens of Magical Britain. Tell me how you would have felt if your children were threatened like that. My mother and father died in the last war opposing Voldemort" she flinched at the name " but I know that if they were alive then they would have fought this auror just like they had fought the death eaters in order to protect me."

She felt a bit sad at the realization that his parents had died in the last war and that he was technically an orphan which was probably also why he was forced to grow up so fast.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I ask you. Do you truly feel safe when Aurors like these who are supposed to protect us from threats, threatens us instead. Or do we now need someone else to protect us from these aurors instead."

"Who keeps these aurors accountable? Who makes sure that they are doing their jobs properly and not threatening the magical population behind closed doors?"

"Is this why we fought against the Dark Lord in the last war? So that we could put corrupt and malicious people like him in charge."

"Is there any auror in the Ministry that's even worthy of our trust."

"As a citizen of the Magical Britain, it pains me to see that the ministry has fallen so low that they're now hiring ruffians and thugs like these."

"The last time I checked, I realized that the minister had cut most of the fundings going to DMLE in fear that they might usurp his position which is why Madam Amelia Bones is so desperate to even keep people like these under her service."

"As a citizen of the Magical Britain, I ask you this…"

"Are you truly happy with this situation at hand. Or do you want a change brought to this corrupt system?"

And with those parting words, the memory ended and in the silence that followed, the question he had asked continued to resonate in her mind before she realized that she was too young to be thinking about such hard things.

So she shouted.

"MOM!"
