I don't like writing stuff with a dark tinge, it gives me indigestion. [grin]
However, this seemed to fit in with the way the Wizards had ended up after the Boskone War, according to the wiki, various stories, and discussions here on the Forum. In some respects I wish the war had been handled in a more positive way, but, I guess war is a nasty business, and claiming war is 'heroic' or 'glorious' is a disservice to those involved.
I'd suggest that Cynthia Luckwold in fact be wrong, and that she hangs-on as a Minister, after the war. This is a bit utopian, but I'd like to think it is rational to not get rid of someone who is arguably your best politician, and that while her popularity drops badly, clearer heads push her to stay in office. I'd expect that at least three of the other ministerial posts change hands, and that, due to the lack of a solid civil service to provide continuity, the Wizarding World is 'King Log', not 'King Stork', for several years.
