The Past - Ch 28

January 10, 1972

The morning that Severus, Lily and Remus were to resume classes and consequently, the morning after Aurelius, Severus and Lily’s shared birthday was the first Wizengamot session of the new year.

Aurelius and Alaric left just before ten, arriving not long after the other members were present.

They handed calling cards with their names and titles to the chief whip who served the Minister of Magic.

Since Dumbledore was entombed in the Janus Thickey ward of St. Mungos’, the Wizengamot needed to elect a new Chief Warlock or whatever they called a witch who held the same office.

Alaric knew her, the Minister for Magic due to his connections to Abraxus, Oran and Renard as Eugenia Jenkins.

Myron may have been a loyal Death Eater though unmarked but he possessed no title despite his family’s entail…

Unlike the Minister for Magic or a sitting member of the Wizengamot, the Chief Warlock was an honorary title. It’s only real authority was when they served on the Council of Magical Law as one of the judges, other than that they were merely a figurehead much like the Queen of England and then was only really effective in breaking a tie vote to declare a majority. The position on the Council of Magical Law was solely an honorary one because unless a full council was called they never sat a case. It had been created to give the untitled public a sense of control when in reality all of the power lay within the titled pureblood families. In rare cases, Wizengamot permitting, the Chief Warlock in lieu of an eligible blood relation can assume the role of Regent to an underage heir with no blood or legal guardian to politically be their voice in the Wizengamot.

The Minister for Magic had the power much like the Muggle Prime Minister, dating back essentially to Merlin who first held a similar office.

The chief whip called their names.

“Introducing Lord Alaric Slytherin-Peverell, Viscount Lincoln, Baron of Gaunt, Riddell and Ensington. Also Lord Aurelius Prince, Duke of Shrewsbury and Earl of Chester.”

Lady Walpurga and Abraxus rose, curtsying and bowing respectively.

“Lords, your seats are here.” Abraxus said gesturing at nearby seats.

Slytherins and marked Death Eaters, bowed when Alaric passed by.

The marked deference, Aurelius hoped was perceived as due to the Slytherin name.

There was a dais beyond the Minister of Magic’s desk, it clearly was meant for a true ruler perhaps a king or queen.

Role was called and both wizards were secretly giddy to be named among their social peers.

With Dumbledore suspended from Hogwarts and Professor Flitwick Headmaster Pro-tem, there was one last title to take from him…

Chief Warlock…

There were others listed on the Hogwarts Letter but both wizards would be temporarily content to strip the manipulative old man of Headmaster and Chief Warlock…

To their silent amusement, the proposal to have another appointed came from Madam Bones rather than someone who bore Alaric’s brand.

While there was some resistance, in the end Madam Hope Burbage was voted in as Chief Witch
.

Given that Aurelius was distantly related to her, she was bonded to his maternal uncle Arcadius who was his grandfather Amphion and current namesake’s youngest brother, Aurelius could find no fault in her being elected.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
