Memdrake, I like Draco and Sev on the same side too. sharon, Thank you for your kind review. Anon, Thank you for reading and taking the time to review.
Loui , I am glad that you found my story. I hope that I can keep it interesting. BitchOfDarkness, Draco does not like to share. They haven\'t told me yet if they plan to share the roles. I will let you know when they work that out.
Sbkar, Thank you for the review I can\'t wait either. The Queen of the Darkness, Thank you for sticking with this story.
Once Draco announced that Harry’s appearance would no longer cause him to lose his lunch they filled him in on what they wanted to do.
“The largest obstacle, Malfoy, is a shortage of people to place in the ministry.”
“Who do you have so far?” Draco noticed the look that passed between the other two.
“We have the people in this room.” Harry paused before adding “and we will keep Fudge.”
Draco would have either laughed or cried at the ridiculous statement if it wasn’t that he knew that that was why Sev brought him here. He wouldn’t have to wonder if he were really needed. “Okay, listen; we do not need people in more than a couple key positions to start with. You are also not going to keep that snake, Fudge. He will turn to whoever offers him the best incentive. He is also a coward, can you picture him standing up to Dumbledore when he isn’t pretending to be a bumbling old man? I cannot. Potter, you will have to become the minister at least until we can find someone else that can pull it off that we can trust. Who is going to say no to the boy who lived?” Draco noticed that Harry no longer seemed to react to his ‘title’.
“Couldn’t you or Sev, do it?” Harry really couldn’t see himself in that very public and political role. He wanted to be the muscle, the power in the shadows.
“Not a chance. I am still on the run, and Sev is a former death-eater. They would not accept either of us; you would risk starting a civil war. It will have to be you. I have some contacts that you may be able to utilize. Blaise Zabini and his family, very wealthy and prominent, split their time between Britain and Italy. They managed to stay neutral in the war. I am close to him, and he and his father could be placed in the ministry. You also have some natural allies in the ministry. We just need to identify and utilize them.”
“What about you Draco? Beyond being the sneaky master mind who orchestrated the downfall of the known world, what role do you want?”
“I won’t dignify that with an answer. I am not some common politician. Once you have changed the way the world views people like me, I am sure that you will find a suitable position for me.” Draco drawled with a subtle sneer. “Until then I will grudgingly lend my services as an advisor and confidante.”
Harry tried to hide his smirk. “So our grand plan is for me to barge into Fudge’s office demand he resign and introduce me as the next minister, appoint Sev as Head of Dept. of Law Enforcement which will also give him a seat on the Wizengamot, plant Blaise as the head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and then we pretty much persuade or kill anyone that doesn’t like it?”
“You catch on faster than I would have given you credit for, Potter.”
Harry frowned and walked over to sit on the floor in front of Severus’ chair. Leaning his body back against the older man’s legs he closed his eyes. “Sev, what do you think? Can we do this, and more important should we do this? It will not be the bloodless coup that we have just outlined and you know it. I will have to show than them they cannot stop me. I will have to kill.”
Severus took a deep breath and ran his fingers through Harry’s thick hair. “Yes I believe that we can do this, we should do this, and I know that you will have to kill. So many people’s lives have been lost or destroyed since the war. I personally believe that we have no choice but to try.”
Draco felt his stomach tighten at how comfortable the two men interacted. He wondered if Severus was misleading him about the relationship between them. It had been Sev who had finally taught the boy what he needed to know to win the war. Dumbledore, not wanting to cultivate too much power in a possible future rival, had kept his training to safe things which didn’t build Harry’s power. Draco didn’t think that the former death-eater was deliberately lying but he couldn’t help but see the longing in Sev’s eyes when he looked as Harry. He knew that jealously was ridiculous, and Malfoy’s definitely didn’t do petty jealously, right? He shook off the unprofitable emotion with an effort. “I will contact Blaise and see if there are any other obvious allies in a position to help us.” He stood up to leave.
Harry stood up as well. “What is the timeline for this Malfoy?”
“I don’t see any point in putting it off. Less than a week should allow us the time to prepare what little we can.”
Harry nodded and turned to Sev. “I am going to go home and sort through some of this. Call me when you and Draco are ready for me.” He once again kissed the man on the cheek and followed Draco out to the apparition point.
