Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing.

I have screwed up my life. I can't really tell you what happened because I'm not even sure. One minute I was in control and loved by everyone and the next I was out of my job and living in a small flat in Diagon Alley.

So, maybe I exaggerated a little. I was certainly not loved by everyone and that was probably my downfall. The small group of people who rallied against me was powerful, determined, and had little to lose and everything gained. I should have seen the writing on the wall but how could I have? For the first time in my life, I was revered. I felt strong.

I know I sound ridiculous but you must understand that I have never felt invincible before in my life. To be frank, I'm not that great at magic and was not that popular at Hogwarts. I survived by joining clubs. I gravitated towards masses of people. I wanted to please. I wanted to be liked. I was usually ignored.

After school, I did not change. I still wanted to be liked so I did what nearly everyone else was doing. I joined the Ministry. Somehow, I seemed to survive in the Ministry. I received orders and I followed them to the letter. What could be easier?

I remember the day I was told that I was being considered as the next Minister. Me, the Minister of Magic? Even in my wildest dreams I had not considered this. But it made perfect sense. Being Minister of Magic meant pleasing a whole country of magical folk and who was more skilled at pleasing people than me? I felt elated. For once in my life, I felt important and worthwhile.

Then he happened. I'm not naïve. I know politics is filled with competitors and I can't just be handed the role of Minister of Magic without someone objecting but it happened so swiftly and so strong. It was the kind of strength I never had and wanted with a passion.

The strength came in the form of Albus Dumbledore, the reason for my demise. I know that sounds a little dramatic but of you understood my story than you would see where I'm coming from. When they found out that there was to be a new Minister of Magic, an alarming number of people voiced their opinions that Dumbledore should be the next one. There were articles published and rallies in front of the Ministry of Magic. I was terrified.

Dumbledore refused the position and I got it but I couldn't forget those few, terrifying days. I half expected to be killed when I made my acceptance speech. I knew that I was not popular. I was not liked. I did the only thing that made sense to me. I needed to get liked and to do that, I needed to make decisions that the people would support. So I sent owls to Dumbledore nearly every day. I know it sounds pathetic, but what was I to do?

I remember one political cartoon that was published about five years after I was in office. It portrayed me as a donkey being forced through a tunnel with the word "responsibilities" written all over it by Dumbledore. I stopped writing to him so often after that came out.

So I managed to survive for many years. Maybe I was not the most popular Minister but I tried to please the people and sometimes I would succeed. I remember once, at some sort of benefit dinner, Ludo Bagman had hit the firewhiskey rather hard and during my speech he called out, "You might not be the smartest, Fudge, but you sure know how to suck-up."

Then my life was ruined. Dumbledore told me He Who Must Not Be Named had returned. He told me I must spread the news and take precautions. I refused to listen. How could I have? He was suggesting things that wouldn't just make me unpopular; they were things that would get me kicked out. I couldn't ruin everything I had worked towards my whole life in a single night.

Maybe I took my refusal too far. I became more powerful than I had ever been before. I took total control over my position and even tried to get Dumbledore sent to Azkaban; he was the only one standing in my way. But then, in one night, everything came crashing down. I was unpopular again and kicked out of office. My worst nightmare had become reality. Now I am jobless and my money is slowly dwindling away. I'm still trying to figure out how it happened.

I am Cornelius Fudge, Official Suck-Up, Thirsty for Power, and Confused Job Hunter.
