It was a cold wintry day. The snow was coming down so thick most could not see more than a few feet in front of them.
Amidst all the chaos, the new Minister of Magic was sworn into office. Well, could you really call them Minister if the person was a woman? No matter, the term was all inclusive, man or woman.
