Alla: 
Not that I don't like your scenario, but it sounds a bit too 
optimistic from what I understand.

Yes, we know that Fudge will flee, but people around him? I am not so 
sure. Especially in light of the revelation that Arthur is not the 
next Minister (I hope that he at least be one at the end). How many 
of the good guys do we know who seem to be realistic candidates?

I will be delighted to see Umbridge in Azkaban, but again - not 
keeping my hopes up. I think that MoM enters a very dark page of its 
history and as many suggested Lucius Malfoy is a very possible 
candidate for next Minister (don't know how he will escape Azkaban 
though). I am notexcluding Umbridge either, unfortunately
