Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. At the end of the First Wizarding War, there were a lot of GUILTY people being charged with some pretty heinous crimes. Voldemort was gone, pretty much everyone affiliated with him was caught, and the Ministry and greater wizarding community were left with the incredibly difficult task of prosecuting those who had sided with Voldemort. And I say DIFFICULT because it was actually a fairly complicated process figuring out who was genuinely bad, and who was just operating under the Imperius Curse.

Lucius Malfoy, for example, was one of MANY former Death Eaters who managed to avoid punishment by claiming that he had only served Voldemort while under the influence of the Imperius Curse. And whether the Ministry truly believed these people or not, the reality is that after a brutal wizarding war, they were desperate for stability. They wanted quick convictions, and frankly..someone to blame.

And among those who had sided with Voldemort, two cases in particular stood out to me.
