Amelia began thinking about her meeting, as the new Minister for Magic, with Prime Minister John Major. Usually this was only one meeting, lasting only five minutes, because neither side wanted the meeting to go longer than that. But Amelia had a radical plan in her head, to give Muggle-borns and Muggle-raised half-bloods equal rights with Purebloods in Wizarding Britain. Step One in this plan was to introduce the Prime Minister to British magicals who did not sound like drooling idiots when it came to nonmagical topics.
