[HPforGrownups] scary MoM possibility

DU getting credit for the DADA OWLs has been discussed before.  IMO, JKR is
the story goddess; she can do it that way if she wants, but I wouldn't like
how far it stretches credibility.  Politicians are slippery characters, and
it is hard to say what the people will do when enough spin has been put on
the truth, so she *could* make it believable that DU gets the job.

OTOH, DU attempted an Unforgivable on a student in front of witnesses, she
tortured many students with obvious pleasure -- including one for no reason
other than his telling the truth, and she went on a rampage to seize total
control of Hogwarts, oust DD, and quell news about LV's return.  When it
finally came out that LV was back, all these things caused the one *truly*
unforgivable sin for a political lackey: destruction of one's boss' career.


Depending on how fast Fudge was voted out of office, he probably had plenty
of time to make sure she was properly "rewarded" for doing this to him.  How
nasty would he be?  That is the real question.  I'm thinking that Fudge
would probably not dump her in Azkaban, but would probably do something
along the lines of disgracing her by stripping her pension, stripping her
rank, and firing her.  With nowhere to go and nothing to lose, that puts her
in a perfect position to be recruited by the DEs and provide a lot of inside
information to them about the MoM.
