zgirnius:
I also think he might have told his old friends about the small 
matter of a hidden chamber and great honking SNAKE in it, if there 
had been a reconciliation.

magpie:

zgirnius:
If I recall correctly, she was the first female Minister (and a 
former Wizard of the Month, which is where I think I came across this 
fact). So I was pretty sure this had to be right.

zgirnius:
Me too. I also guessed that the day of celebration after Voldemort 
seemed to die led to the removal of the Minister at that time, so 
chose the widespread violations of the Statute of Secrecy one for 
Fudge's predecessor (whose name I cannot bring up at the moment).

zgirnius:
I found the wording confusing. "Aconite" (aka wolfsbane) was an 
option; as this is the major ingredient of the Wolfsbane Potion, I 
went with it for werewolves. It certainly solves a lot of the 
associated problems (when used, hee hee).
