 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash should have picked the red card... she thought the ministry was super corrupt! She sighed a little bit, but didn't complain. After all, it was important to be able to see both sides of something, as long as they were reasonable. Or whatever. Yeah. But Ash spent a lot of time thinking about her argument, because she didn't believe it and it was harder to see perspectives that weren't hers. "Um... Uh..." Ash cleared her throat a little bit, hesitated, then continued. "The ministry is not corrupt... well, mostly not corrupt... because when they found out that we were in danger, they came here to rescue us even though it was dangerous and they didn't have much time to plan. And then a lot of people died for us. They also went and found most of the people responsible for taking over Hogwarts and hurting muggleborns in the ministry. Even though there are bad parts of the ministry, they try really hard to get rid of that corruption and do the right thing." That was... a surprisingly reasonable opinion, and it made Ash's stomach twist. She didn't want to talk about it. And no, it had nothing to do with the activity. It had everything to do with... with... No. Ash didn't. want. to. talk. about. it.
She sort of just stared off into the distance and pretended that she didn't exist.

Were people still talking? Oh. Cool. |
