 I was wondering can anyone place Fudge in the Weasley/Malfoy 
timeline. I get the feeling that he wasn't in the same year as Arthur 
and Lucius (assuming that they were in the same year) as he doesn't 
seem to realise they dislike one another.
 For some reason I have the gut feeling that Fudge is younger than 
the other two but have no facts to back me up.
 Does anyone have any ideas?
