_____I got a little change in my pocket...
The magical world changed faster, and in more ways, than any witch or wizard could have expected. After a series of investigative reports by the Daily Prophet's Josiah Hurwitz were published, the Ministry of Magic, headed by Kingsley Shacklebolt, came under intense scrutiny. Mr. Hurwitz's investigation revealed past misdeeds and current corruptions that the public could not readily forgive. With few options available to them, the public turned to the one wizard they could count on ---Lucius Malfoy.

Though plagued with a checkered past of his own, Malfoy's image was successfully rehabilitated through his honesty and charitable acts. He provided the wizarding world with a sound mind and a voice reason during one of its most trying political times. When people were whispering about a violent revolution, Malfoy was undeterred and unafraid to raise his voice about peace and harmony in the magical world. His message caught on and the violent whispers soon turned into easy silence.____...don't hand me no lines...
Shacklebolt was ousted from his position. At the public's urging, Lucius Malfoy was named Minister for Magic. Two controversial moves clearly differentiated the Malfoy-run Ministry from that of Shacklebolt. First, several key Ministry workers were relieved of their duties in effort to start with an entirely clean slate. Hermione Granger and Harry Potter, among others, were safe in their positions. Second, the Department of Aurors was severely downsized. In his "Time of Peace" promises, Malfoy sought to redirect substantial funds from needless defense expenses to more worthy and needing Ministry departments. Fearing corruption within the magical justice system, Malfoy has recently ordered re-trials of several prominent witches and wizards locked away in Azkaban.
