After the Mexican prime minister’s mandate to finally declare Voldemort an enemy of the ICW, there was nothing but chaos in the meeting room of the ICW, the people who didn’t want to go to war and just wanted to find a solution to make the obliviation spell work again were clashing against those that wanted to end the threat at once something they’ve been pushing for years but that the majority hadn’t agreed with.

Meanwhile, the ministers who secretly supported Voldemort were taking their time to do something. The chaos continued until footsteps started to sound, the footsteps were becoming louder with each second that passed causing some people to stop arguing, and then in the middle of the room, a man with wavy blonde hair dressed as if he were king was smiling at everyone.

Behind him was Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco, the Russian prime minister was by his side too, and soon the pompous man clarified his voice.

“It’s the Supreme Mugwump!” The Italian prime minister who also happens to be a witch squealed at the sight.

“Merlin he’s so handsome!” The Canadian prime minister (a dark-skinned witch) did the same thing as her Italian counterpart.

The wizards were a bit startled by the presence of the supreme mugwump but they were happy at the same time, after all, someone who has fought trolls, banshees, dementors, and many other dangerous creatures and survived to tell the tale would know what to do with this threat.

It was hard for the supreme to attend the meetings unless there was an emergency, and it seems like they were blessed by his presence today, and the ones who were the happiest to to see him were the witches and some of the male ministers too.

“Yes, that’s me…Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third and First Class, Leader of the Dark Force Defence League, ten (and on my way to the eleven) times winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock of the British Wizengamot and Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards,” the blonde man suddenly received applauses and underwear from the ladies.

Of course not everyone was happy about his presence, wizards like the Mexican Prime minister or the German one weren’t in the mood for something like this, most people in this room may have been enchanted by the presumptuous wizard but that wasn’t the case for the faction that wanted to finally put an end to Voldemort before it becomes an even bigger problem.

“I know there are some tensions that’s why I rarely attend the meetings, after all, I'm only needed when the time of crisis comes and this my friends, is a very delicate situation,” Lockhart said with a disappointed tone.

“Supreme Mugwump, what should we do?” Asked desperately the Vietnamese prime minister.

Lockhart remained in silence for a few seconds before he whispered something in Lucius’ ear, the British minister nodded and smiled.

“My friends as you know, after finishing my education I joined the Obliviation Task Force of my country, so, fearing that I’m going to sound a bit arrogant, I'd like to say that I’m quite the expert when it comes to the memory-erasing charm,” the whispers started. “That’s why I suggest we find a solution to the problem of the memory charm, do not worry, even though I'm facing the same problems as my colleague obliviators from the ICW to make the memory charm work, I know for certain that I’ll find a way to make the charm work again so we could go back to our peaceful state,” Lockhart finished and soon the claps and screams started.

Yes, most members were happy because they didn’t want to go to war, still there was still a faction that still wanted to go to war against Voldemort, no matter how much they feared Voldemort, they were still in time to stop him from destroying the world.

“I agree with the supreme mugwump, I think the best course of action is for the ICW to stay away from that wizard,” Lucius said with a calm tone.

Suddenly the ministers of Russia, USA, Argentina, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Korea (yes in the magical world there’s only one Korea), Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Japan, Spain, China, and Belarus agreed with him and soon, they stood by each other’s side.

“I oppose this,” the Jordanian Minister said with a cold tone.

But that was just the start, little by little the faction that wanted to destroy Voldemort was suddenly joined by dozens while the cowards who didn’t want to fight didn’t even look at the eyes of those who wanted to go to war.

Draco was feeling a bit scared, they were outnumbered and yet, his father and the rest still looked as smug as ever.

“You’re all making a mistake gentlemen,” Lucius was trying to not show his true colors but his façade was starting to fade.

“Supreme mugwump…Could you and your friends pull up the sleeves of your robes?” The Mexican prime minister’s tone was serious and aggressive.

Soon, there were many murmurs, they knew what the Mexican minister was implying, and yet, none of the ministers who were ordered to pull their sleeves did as they were told.

“Come on, what’s your fear? We just want to know where your loyalties lie,” the German minister knew what was happening but he still didn’t want to believe it, the Russian minister was a great friend, and he was finding it hard to believe that he would be working on Voldemort’s side.

“Well, it seems like you lot decided to make a bad choice, well, I guess there’s no point pretending, after all, the world as we know it won’t exist anymore, the dark lord is coming and he’s going to reshape the world to finally make those of us who are pure to be in the place we all deserve!° Lucius started to laugh like crazy and then he started to randomly throw killing curses at the ones who dared to oppose the dark lord.

Many of the ones who didn’t want to fight tried to apparate to escape but they suddenly realized that there was no point, neither of them had been aware that Lucius had put an anti-apparition charm before entering so it was either die or kill but the cowards who didn't want to fight were too slow, they tried to run away from the danger but that cost them their lives.

“Lucius…Are you sure killing all the ICW members is a good idea?” Asked Lockhart who was also throwing killing curses like crazy.

“Yes, it seems like the dark lord decided to finally conquer the muggle world, so, I'm saddened that he didn’t tell us about this plan beforehand, he’s losing his faith in us, we need to recover it!” Lucius said to his arrogant friend.

Meanwhile, the ones who were trying to fight the death eaters were surprisingly surpassed by the death eater faction even though there were fewer of them compared to the opposite side, most of them thought of Lockhart as nothing but a hack due to his ridiculous books but it seems like he somehow managed to become powerful.

“Fuck…This is the end…We should have listened to Dumbledore before he was replaced by that traitor a few years ago!” The Zimbabwean minister couldn’t help but feel furious about this.

However, the resistance’s thoughts were interrupted the moment their shield was destroyed.

“Well well, it seems like we finally got them guys—” Lucius started but he couldn’t finish as the doors were suddenly blown, and soon, except for Lucius, Draco, and Lockhart, the rest of their allies were unconscious.

They had many questions but all of them were answered the moment they saw Dumbledore standing side by side with James Potter and Lucius’ sister-in-law Bellatrix Black.
