We see that you are currently working as a shop owner. How is that going for you? It must be nice, or at least much better than being the jokester . So young, and already so successful. We congratulate you on your accomplishments, truly. However, the death of your brother isn’t the only thing you have to worry about anymore. As you may have noticed, this Ministry has made a turn for the worst from four years ago. Foul creatures like werewolves and house elves were kept under wraps, and those muggleborn abominations were removed from our sacred community, either by force or, if they were smart, by their own motivations. This place has become too tolerant, and we have had enough.
During the war, you claimed to be apart of the Order of the Phoenix. You may have survived last time, but we are a force unlike one you’ve ever seen. You and your precious family won’t be safe. You can’t protect them, you can’t even protect yourself, just like you couldn’t save your brother. Do you really think he would be proud of you?
Lord Voldemort had a vision, and it does not die with him; he did not die in vain. He is still here, for as long as we live, he exists through us. We’re here to finish what he started. A new world is coming, a world where the pure flourish, and the impure squirm beneath our feet. We will no longer hide from muggles. We will not allow the weakest of the weak rule our planet. We will take back what is ours, and put them back in their rightful place. Nature is as nature does, the strong will live and weak will die. Natural law is coming to run its real course, and you can try and stop it, but in the battle between will and nature, nature always wins. It is a new dawn for wizard kind, and we suggest you prepare for it.
There was a constantly growing stack of mail in the corner of George’s office. Every morning, he’d flip through the pile of unopened bills and letters to see if there was anything of interest among the previous days’ rejects. He had checked it this morning and found nothing that caught his attention, but now there was a new letter addressed to him, clearly centered on the stack.
Not recognizing the handwriting, he picked it up and checked the back for any indication of who sent it. Finding no identifying marks, he tore it open and read…
…You and your precious family won’t be safe. You can’t protect them, you can’t even protect yourself, just like you couldn’t save your brother…
His breath caught as he read the words for they were true. Even though he didn’t blame himself for Fred’s death, there wasn’t a day that passed where he didn’t regret that he wasn’t able to save him - that he hadn’t even been there with him. Just thinking about it felt like he’d been punched in the stomach.
He continued reading, frowning deeply. One thing was clear. Who ever wrote the letter did know him very well or they’d have known Fred would be bloody proud of him for what he’d done with their joke shop and how he’d supported their family. In fact, the only thing Fred would complain about would be the time George spent mourning Fred and feeling sorry for himself. George could just imagine his twin shouting “For Merlin’s sake, Georgie, its been four years! I’m glad you miss me, but get on with your life while you still have your dashingly good looks about you!”
George smiled bitterly at the thought before he remembered what had conjured it. He returned his attention to the letter with a sigh. The rest was just evil wizard babble, as Fred would have called it. Fred would have laughed about it, told him not to worry, and made a joke about how threat letters are just a cowards way of lashing out. But Fred had never lost a sibling.
George reread the letter twice, and when he’d finished, he realized he was furiously pacing his office. Maybe it was an empty threat. Maybe it was a coward trying to stir up trouble. But he wasn’t about to assume the best when the worst was clearly more likely.
He pocketed the letter and grabbed his coat. He couldn’t be the only one to have received such a horrid threat. Chances were he wasn’t the only Weasley that had gotten one, considering how involved his family was in the war. He’d visit his family to make sure they were safe, and see if any of his siblings had the misfortune of being on this psychopath’s mailing list along with him.
