| A Love Letter to our Fellow Believers |
Dear Fellow Free Thinkers,
My twin and I feel the need to apologize. We have been untrue. We
left you hanging when we all need each other the most. For this we
are heartily sorry and vow to never again leave you in your hour of
need.
Behold, delusional logic-mongers and true scholarly readers of the
pulverized canon, your perseverance has not been in vain. We offer
you hope! For we are not wrong in our conclusions, the insanity and
outright character mutilation is the very proof of our correctness.
Now is the time to band together in support of the true faith, the
one veracious testament of character fulfillment and logical story
progression that has not been reflected in these last two published
writings. We know the truth and deep down the Horde knows the truth
as well, for that is why they fight so hard and behave like spoiled
children, gloating and parading around stroking their egos.
Our truth is our weapon, it is our shelter, it is what binds us
together across mountains and oceans, across gender gaps and
cultural differences, it is what unites us as one among many nations
and backgrounds all around the world.
The truth is that our beloved JKR has fallen victim to the
persuasions of the Horde. She established an outline a millennium
ago and the characters she has so lovingly nurtured along their own
paths were cut down at the knees and condemned to the road her
outlines carved out all those years ago.
But do not blame the Maker...for she is under duress.
Clearly, this is the working of the Death Eaters. Voldemort once
again regained power in the Magical World, discovered the popularity
of his nemesis among muggles and sought to discourage the Muggle
Legions from joining the war.
He blackmailed JKR (probably threatening her children, if we know
anything about Dark Lords) and coerced her to pen a saccharine
ending, forcing it down all of our throats. And to some this would
seem wonderful and fitting and they would believe the lies and give
up on our Wizarding friends.
But to others, the seers as it were, the truth is revealed in the
inconsistencies and lives in the subtext.
The Magical World needs our help. Our mates are in danger! The Dark
Lord has underestimated our determination, our dedication. It will
be his worst mistake yet.
Would you abandon our Trio, our family to the mercies of the Dark
Lord and his Death Eaters like the Horde seems so willing to do, or
would you assume your true Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and
yes, even Slytherin natures and make a stand?
It is time to unite and fight! Once labeled as militant and written
off, now we transcend mere jibes and attempts to draw our focus away
from the truth.
Our friends have been left for dead on the road to Book 7’s
denouement, unwitting casualties not of a war for justice and peace,
but of an outline prepared before their evolutions. We are not
willing to sit by and witness their last rattling gasps for life
without doing something about it.
We give you Granger’s Army! The first elite group dedicated to
fighting the ignorant and sprawling forces of destruction and
irrationality.
Granger’s Army, inspired by the Muggleborn leader of Wizards,
Hermione Granger herself, will focus on stamping out the pervading
propaganda. There can be many approaches to this task; there will
soon be many divisions working in unison to bring about the final
result.
Our mission is to diffuse insanity into a clear, precise pattern and
to chart the logical progressions. To make sense of madness. To
breathe life back into abandoned characters.
And we will do so in the spirit of our inspiration. Hermione Granger
has always used her intellect to battle incongruity, irrationality,
ignorance and just generally mean people. She only ever used her
formidable physical strengths when pushed to her limits.
In turn, we will not resort to name-calling, gloating or temper-
tantrums. We will not stoop to mocking, jeering or ridiculing the
Horde. We will be dignified at all times, respect differences in
opinions, and even admit when others have clear, well-thought-out
and supported points.
We shall have class and poise while making our arguments and conduct
ourselves with decorum both in and outside of the forums, web pages,
conventions or any other gathering where we will undoubtedly face
ridicule and contempt. Do not yield to these pressures. Do not lower
yourselves to the level of immature desertion of truth and logic.
For you are better than that.
And remember, though misguided as they may be, the Horde is
comprised of fans and lovers of the Magical World as well. They,
like you, have been touched by the valor and goodness found within
the pages of the Potterverse. We must not be too harsh with them.
We will set ourselves apart from the Horde by our actions. We will
have dignity where they would wallow in the gutters, we will respect
each other and others' opinions where they would tear down and mock.
We are similar in our love for the Magical World and passion for our
vision, only we’re...smarter.
(Cheek is allowed, just not disrespect.)
Join ranks, delusional ones!
Enlist now and begin on the journey to conquer cheesy melodrama and
utter stupidity. Point out the way to enlightenment to those among
us who are too embittered and mired in nonsensical pairings and
behaviour to see the path. Be a source of hope to other delusionals
who feel just as abandoned and alone as you! Be part of the solution!
We’re drafting the official Granger’s Army Oath for all recruits. A
sign-up parchment will be posted soon! For those interested in an
immediate enlistment, feel free to email either of us at any time.
(We’re also working on designs for badges, no forget badges...we’re
going for arm bands, baby!!!)
We may not be able to re-write history or convince everyone, but we
can support ourselves. We can be each other’s salvation!
Fight the good fight. Keep the faith. Until next time...
Devotedly yours,
Rilian Caspian
