So school term is almost out, and what have your children learned? I doubt much. Sure, they can learn about funny looking leaves, smelly potions, and some old farty git from five centuries ago, but that's a load of dung, if you ask me.
The only thing I ever saw of real worth in Hogwarts when I was there were those Defense classes. When I was there, we had to get it engraved in our minds about the enemy's instruments, and how useful we can actually be without a bloody wand. I think I came out alright if you ask me, seeing as I'm an Auror and all.
Nowadays Hogwarts is under a thick veil of irony there. They survived a huge terrorist attack, and we reward the students by having them off Defense Against the Dark Arts for more than six months. Do you know what the hell is wrong with that? Everything. You have these capable minds wasting away on idiot theories when they could be going above an beyond what they're expected of. In fact, they're not even being taught Defense theory. They're sitting like ducks!
Where's all that practice that they need? You and I both know they need it. If that idiot Shaw is roaming the humble streets, you might as well put your child (without a wand) in front of him and walk away. That is what's going on right now, and no one in the bloody Ministry or the bloody world is saying a peep.
Whoever says that suspending the Defense classes were a good idea is a right criminal. It's been going on too long that the kids are running around without any defense. Soon enough you're going to see what a sorry mistake that will be.
Bring back the Defense Against the Dark Arts!
