A.N. — I like to take a look at the darker side of things a lot, especially media aimed at children. And Harry Potter has so many grimy corners to peer into.
13. Corban Yaxley
It was fun, being the power behind the Minister of Magic.
Yaxley's skill in Imperius was exquisite, which led to his current assignment from the Dark Lord. Pius Thicknesse was no mental pushover, having received law enforcement training in his post as the department's head. That made subduing his will even more delicious to Yaxley. If they didn't occasionally fight back, where was the fun?
Well, he was having plenty of fun now. True, guiding a politician through meetings and functions grew boring, but having the ability to pass Dark-favorable legislation while also committing torture? That would never grow old.
