Harry Potter and the Bucket List

Year 3 - 1

The Ministry of Magic used the Wizengamot to manage laws. They created, debated, and either refuted or passed the laws used in British Wizarding society. There were fifty members of the Wizengamot. Of those fifty members a little under half held the titles of Lord or Lady. Titles such as these were either passed down by the family, or earned through significant achievement.

For example, Dumbledore was given the offer to become a Lord after he vanquished the previous Dark Lord.

He declined, choosing a mediator position instead.

The noble family went as followed:

1. Lord Abbot (Light)

2. Lord Buldor (Dark)

3. Lord Black (Light)

4. Lord Greengrass (Neutral)

5. Lord Lestrange (Dark) - His position was vacant due to all members being in Azkaban, and the vote fell with Lord Malfoy.

6. Lady Longbottom (Light)

7. Lord Malfoy (Dark)

8. Lord Nott (Dark)

9. Lord Potter (Light) - Position was vacant due to heirs being underage and vote fell with Lord Black (who I learned did attend meetings while Harry and I were at school and in summer all votes fell with Shackelbolt).

10. Lady Prewet (Neutral)

11. Lady Rosier (Dark)

12. Lady Shafiq (Neutral)

13. Lord Thompson (Neutral)

Of those thirteen noble families on the Wizengamot, only four were Light. Five were Dark, with the rest being neutral. The neutral parties tended to vote closer to the Dark, as the Dark were typically better at bribery than the Light.

There were a couple of families I immediately had to cross off my list of targets—namely Lord Nott and Lord Malfoy as I was working personally with their heirs. I felt confident over time I could persuade Draco and Theodore to the side closer to me.

Aside from those thirteen nobles, there were thirty-seven more seats on the Wizengamot that I needed to deal with. They went as so:

1. Avery (Dark)

2. Austins (Dark)

3. Bulstrode (Dark)

4. Bitterscitch (Neutral)

5. Belvor (Light)

6. Bones (Light)

7. Chang (Neutral)

8. Carrow (Dark)

9. Crouch (Neutral)

10. Dravor (Neutral)

12. Dustins (Neutral)

13. Eithermore (Light)

14. Fawley (Dark)

15. Flint (Dark)

16. Fudge (Neutral)

17. Greatherfall (Neutral)

18. Harper (Dark)

19. Heather (Neutral)

20. Imore (Neutral)

21. Jacobs (Dark)

22. Macmillan (Neutral)

23. Mathews (Neutral)
