Those that covet power will always try to gain more.
The Wizards Council has run Magical Great Britain for years.
Not censuring Nicholas Malfoy for using the Black Death to cover up him murdering Muggles, aside.
Allegedly.
With the International Community finally agreeing on, some, of the tenants of the Statute of Secrecy the council has been implementing the creation of a formal Ministry of Magic.
Ulick Gamp, who has been Cheif Warlock of the Wizengmont for years, has preemptively elected to be the First Minister for Magic.
In a way, it makes sense, a familiar face in a leadership position when several new laws are going to be put into place.
He's already pushing for the creation of a centralized law enforcement division, considering I do the dirty work for the Council of Law it's something I can get behind.
I was a proponent of the Statute when it was signed into law, preferring subtly and cunning to war, like the Militant faction want.
For years I've dealt with the aftereffects of the violence from the Muggles. Violence perpetrated against both Magicals and innocent Muggles.
A number of the Pureblood families are displeased with the new laws being put into place, but there aren't enough dissidents to cause more the irritating rumblings.
Even the Wizard Supremacists will toe the line, just to be near the Heart of Power that is our new Ministry.
In the coming years, I'm sure to be busy, dealing with Witches and Wizards the angrily lash out at Muggles.
I know that at some point in the future having to hide our existence from the Muggles will likely fan the flames of contention, likely leading to war between the light and dark.
But until then hiding is our greatest strength, not magic.
