 * 1971
 * March: The group of Muggles organized and executed their attack. In a timed attack, spread out all through Wizarding London, the bombs went off. They were spread out enough that the Aurors had to spit up to take on the damage. Once the bulk of the Aurors were out of the Ministry, they took on the Ministry of Magic itself. The Muggles were caught pretty quickly inside, but the bomb that killed Tyberius Ignatious Tally, the Minister of Magic, only took a second to go off. The aftermath was chaotic. The Muggle organizers inside the Ministry were rounded up and delivered a Dementor’s Kiss without so much as a trial or questioning by veritaserum. This quick disposal led many to speculate that they must have had people of the magical community helping them. And who was most likely to want Muggles in the Ministry?  Muggleborns became the collective fall guy for the tragedy.
 * April: Oscar Philip Pennington, who was Senior Undersecretary to the deceased Minister, was temporarily taking over as Minister. The problem was, as a Muggleborn, he was high on the suspect list and was quickly dragged off to Azkaban. Mathias Volkov, a prominent man in Pureblood society, took over instead.
