RP: The Dark Lord's Reign of Terror Who: Lord Voldemort Where: Ministry of Magic When: September 19, 2025 Summary: It's Time for a Little Change
The Dark Lord was aggravated. He had been the so-called Minister for Magic for three months. Three months and what did he have to show for it? Several of his senior death eaters were dead. The Order had suffered almost no losses. Hogwarts was more unreachable than it had ever been, even when the Old Fool ran the place.
He paced back and forth in the Minister's office, stopping to stomp his foot in frustration. He had grown tired of running the government as it had been ran in the past. With those who had died, it would mean either more work for him to do or bringing in people he didn't know that he could trust. The whole point behind keeping the government running as it had been was to keep the populace from revolting while the Order was defeated.
It was time for a change. Give his Death Eaters what they want. Scare the population into obedience. Make the Order's raids on governmental facilities worthless. And if it didn't work, what did he care? He was immortal.
He called Blaise Zabini into his office and ordered the Ministry shut down except for the Death Eaters: "I'm declaring martial law."
