It's sort of ironic.
I'm a fullblood. I'm not particularly brave or smart or witty, but my blood is good. My kids would have been pure, and as much as I hated the government and wanted to believe I wasn't anything like a purist and was so so angry that those bastards killed my mother, I secretly and guiltily took comfort in the fact that even if I had nothing to contribute to anyone, I would be safe and my kids would be safe.
I think a lot of people, especially fullbloods, feel the same way. I think a lot of people are scared and hoping that having a piece of paper with their status on it will protect them. It didn't protect me. I'm missing fingers. I was locked in a room for more than a month without seeing anybody for more than ten minutes at a time. Bellatrix Lestrange tortured me because she wanted to teach my friends a lesson. I'm 20 years old and I didn't deserve to be tortured. They didn't care. They wanted to break me down and make me afraid and make me lose hope and you know what? It worked.
But every day that goes by after being rescued, I know that I have to suck it up and try to make things better. I think you can do that too. I think you should. Because if you feel guilty but want to stay safe, all that's going to end up happening is you'll be dragged in too. Then you have nothing but guilt for not doing something sooner, and it'll be too late. Please help us fight. Please don't let them get away with killing babies. It isn't right, and I think we all know that.
