Adrian's eyes flicked briefly down to the fading mark visible on Lestrange's arm, then back to the man's eyes.
"I don't think the Wizarding World would have survived, since I doubt Voldemort would have been satisfied with bringing only that under his control. The Muggle world would have been next, and I'm sorry to say, but the Muggles would have won through sheer force and numbers." Which was a scary thought, but realistic no matter how much magic they used.
"Minister Shacklebolt is in my eyes the best choice for Minister, not that the selection of eligible candidates is very big." The conversation was serious enough, but surprisingly pleasant. Not what he'd expected.
