One Thursday, the Minister of Magic decided to grace Diagon Alley with his presence. That’s the day Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor has a discount on its ice cream. A certain photographer joined the entourage and took numerous pictures. The next day, a very unflattering picture of the minister eating ice cream and a not so nice write-up appeared in the Daily Prophet written by another certain reporter. Pages of the unflattering picture started to mysteriously be seen all over the Ministry building. During a normally boring official meeting, a bill was presented by a certain member about publicizing poor quality photos of members of the senior ministry staff, including the minister himself. It included a very nice picture of the minister. It passed overwhelmingly. It was brought up again at another boring Wizengamot meeting where, again, without really reading the exact wording, it passed overwhelmingly. Looking at the “good” picture, the minister gladly signed it into law. Later that day, numerous DA students, including Harry Potter, sitting down for dinner in the Great Hall at Hogwarts received owl mail, an unusual time for mail to arrive. All the letters said basically the same thing. “The Anti-Libel Law is signed. One down, one to go.” Come on, give this Challenge a shot. You don't have to go all legal on us. In my job we say it isn't "Rocket Surgery." |
