I mean, you know how they are!Quote:Ebony wrote:In other words, Umbridge?
But given the portrayal of the Wizardgamot politicians in the books, it's likely that, if Voldemort won, a number of career politicians who knew how to speak Crazy would be able to insert themselves and run things while keeping their batshit fucking loco leader and his equally crazy inner circle entertained until they could poison them in their sleep or lock them away, leaving them to form a more lasting fascist government.
