Put Your Curse In Reverse [Part 2]

Chapter 8 - Corruption

So are Horcruxes real? Many experts on Dark Magic—most of which were quoted in my book Dumbledore's Army: The Dark Side of the Demob—testify that they have never heard of this word, nor of any magic that could do anything similar. No evidence of Horcruxes can be found in any books, thanks to Shacklebolt's early beginnings on the shackling of free speech. However, during my extensive research, I spoke to a handful of reputable individuals who claim Horcruxes certainly do exist—but that the 'deceased' Dark Lord would have never utilized them in the manner that he allegedly did.

Is it realistic that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was so easily defeated by a mere teenager? Is it likely that he harnessed the power of some of the darkest, most elusive magic—but failed to harness it in a sensible manner? Or is it more likely that this story of the 'Horcrux Hunt' is a crafty cover for a very different truth? Is it mere coincidence that both Mr. and Mrs. Potter have been known cohorts of these claimed 'Horcruxes'?

I beg of you all, believers and doubters alike, to forget the story you have been told for a few moments, and allow yourself to hear a different truth.

In 1992, eleven-year-old Ginny Weasley (later to be known as Ginny Potter) was gifted a Horcrux from Lucius Malfoy (known Death Eater, father of Draco Malfoy, grandfather of Scorpius Malfoy). She cherished this Horcrux; she herself has described the experience as 'all-consuming'. 'I poured myself into it,' she said, in an exclusive, overheard conversation with the Boy Who Lived himself. Despite the effort both the Weasley children and Potter went to to appear far removed from Malfoy and all other Death Eater ideals, both Ginevra Weasley and Harry Potter spent a disturbing portion of their formative years engulfed by Dark Magic. Drawn together like moths to a flame, these two were inseparable in their later school years, and both ran the 'defence group' Dumbledore's Army at points during their education. But wasthis a Defence Against the Dark Arts group? Or was it a Dark Arts group?

Dark Magic enthusiasts Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter—both privy to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's most evil thoughts—needed three things if they were to expand their control and Dark ways: First, they needed supporters, which they gained rather quickly through their classmates. Secondly, they needed support from the community, which they eventually gained through Potter's alleged Boy Who Lived story. And lastly, they needed power, something they gained rather quickly after the 'defeat' of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. But did they truly defeat him the way that they claim they did? Those who saw the defeat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named saw only one thing: the Dark wizard being easily disarmed by a teenage boy. This is all we have proof of. Did the Horcruxes exist? Possibly. Going by the violent mental instabilities of both Harry Potter and his wife, it is extremely plausible that they told the truth about being possessed by two of these Horcruxes. But did He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named have five additional ones, hidden in much more obvious places? Had He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named truly returned to full power in the first place, with only a teenage boy equipped to bring his reign of terror to an end?

Or did young Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter, intoxicated with a shared dark world, desperate to act freely on their twisted fantasies, create a cunning lie—one that's duped our world for decades? Did they fabricate the remaining Horcruxes to create the appearance of a powerful foe? Did they blame the results of their own Dark Magic experiments on He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his Death Eaters? Did they easily overpower the weakened He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named due to their own prowess in Dark Magic? Did they lie their way to power—Ginny Weasley within Hogwarts, Harry Potter outside of it?

I write this bearing bad news for our world and everyone in it. While we have been daydreaming, content to believe the stories told to us, Potter and his cult have taken control of our government.

It begins like this: an outspoken journalist imprisoned for speaking out.

It will end with universal silence and universal control.
