I didn't think that Fudge was the minister of magic at
the time of the Longbottom torturing...because in PoA
we are told that Bartemus Crouch Sr. was up for the
job until his son was accused of that same crime and
the job went to Fudge instead. I took this to mean
that they were both up for the job around that time
but Fudge was made MoM after the Longbottom
torturing...after the accusation of Barty Jr. sa well.
I'd assume that he was first on the scene because when
it happened he still had his job as the head of
magical law enforcement...same reason he was first to
the scene at Sirius' alleged crime.(That was Fudge who
said he was first there, wasn't it? no books!!)
So, does anyone agree or disagree that Fudge was made
MoM after the Longbottom scandal? Let me know.
