Gibbet read over the paperwork in front of him again. It brought a smile to his face because for all his work, it was becoming a reality. He had been working on this piece of legislation for years and when the Dark Lord took over the Ministry, there was finally someone in power that had the best interests of their community in mind and that the guts do what had to be done.
It hadn't been easy to get an audience with the Dark Lord. There was no sharing his plan with the Death Eaters; he couldn't trust that they would get it right. As much as Gibbet wanted this to happen, He it had to happen the correct way. He had put too much work into this to see it fail because some Death Eater rushed it. He needed to be the one to see the Dark Lord, so that he could make sure that everything went as to plan. He knew that the Dark Lord would understand, he would make them listen and stay on track to Gibbet's schedule.
Gibbet was less nervous than he thought he would have been to meet the Dark Lord. He knew that the Dark Lord would like his plan and maybe that made it easier. Gibbet knew that if things didn't go well that the Dark Lord would let him know about his displeasure; that was the only thing that kept Gibbet up at night.
The news would break some time the next day. They had made sure that The Daily Prophet was given a heads up a couple of hours ago by one well place phone call from an "informant". The idiots over there have selling headlines for weeks about leaked secret information. This time it was on Viktor Krum and how he might have accepted a position at Hogwarts to teach the flying classes. Of course, this was true; they were leaking information, not lies. For unknown reasons Dumbledore had been hoping to keep it under wraps until the start of term, but Gibbet needed the deep cover. He had coordinated their leaked releases to when he needed all quiet at the ministry to push votes or in the most extreme cases, deal with and replace opponents. The finalization of was happening in a few hours and then the "Restoration of blood: act 19919", informally called the new marriage act, would be passed.
