Perhaps the irony of such a scene was lost only on those who were most closely involved: the politicians. Only years before, a young Kurt had been shadowing Burt Hummel, his father and the Minister of the British Minisitry of Magic who had been publicly shamed and persecuted due to his public stance over muggleborns that played out like a sordid drama in front of Britian and the entire World. Less than a decade later, blazing through obstacles with sheer force and military strength, the son of the minister had returned triumphantly to the world of politics. Long established political dynasties of the what were now the remnants of the former International Confederation of Wizards could only watch on the sidelines as the new Lord and his Consort, the now Commander and Chief, Wesley Montgomery, lead the way in disassembling and reassembling, in some places from scratch, the constitution that had held together the Empire for over ten-thousand years.
Yet, lying beneath the surface but just as responsible for their astonishing and devastating rise to power are one, if not two, master politicians who knew exactly what was required to maneuver themselves into the positions that they were in now. They had forcible control over the world's governments, but rebuilding from the inside out would take more than just a show of force and power. Facing this new administration was the very real and pressing tasks of reorganizing and reallocating the various factions that still scampered for political, monetary, and military power and control. The fate of the muggles still had to be decided, as did the fate of the Rebels, all in the face of the on-going internal coop lead by one of their trusted advisers Hunter Clarington.
No historian will deny the fact that these two individuals were able to single-handedly change the fate of the entire world. Certainly, events shaped by individual and collective forces had moved and collided in the most favorable way for them. The pro-muggle supporters and others would eventually make their own moves, thus forcing the hand of newly crowned Emperors and sealing the fates of all involved, for better or for worse.
But a reappraisal of these two once in a thousand generation individuals reveals two extraordinarily normal, somewhat mundane yet exceedingly epic, but most importantly, two very human beings. Based on new documents and pensive memories only recently revealed to the public, we also see two expert manipulators who worked tirelessly and meticulously to ensure that only they themselves controlled the serendipital forces working in their favor. But who were the real Hummel-Montgomerys? The answer can only be revealed by examining every facet of the personal, spiritual, political, and despotical sides of Kurt Hummel and Wesley Montgomery.
