Cabinet Battle #2
                              
(By Lin-Manuel Miranda, musical prodigy)
                              


                              
[McGONAGALL]
                              
The issue on the table: France is on the verge of rebellion after passing strict anti-Death Eater laws and Auror-Acts, and do we draft a letter of support to our French allies or do we condemn them? Remember, my decision on this matter is not subject to Wizengamot-approval. The only person you have to convince is me. Department Head Weasley, you have the floor, sir
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
When we were on death's door,
                              
when we were needy
                              
We made a promise, 
                              
we signed a treaty
                              
We needed money and 
                              
wands and half a chance. Umm...
                              
Who provided those wands?
                              
[GRANGER]
                              
France
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
In return, they didn't ask for money
                              
Only a promise that we'd lend a hand
                              
And stand with them if they 
                              
fought against oppressors
                              
And rebellion is messy
                              
 but now is the time to stand
                              
Stand with our brothers
                              
 as they fight against tyranny
                              
I know that Draco Malfoy is here and he
                              
Would rather not have this debate
                              
I'll remind you that he is not 
                              
Head of International Law
                              
He knows nothing of loyalty
                              
Smells like old money, 
                              
dresses like fake royalty
                              
Desperate to support his former friends
                              
Everything he does betrays the ideals of the Order!
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Ooh!!
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
Hey, and if ya don't know, 
                              
now ya know, Madam Minister
                              
[McGONAGALL]
                              
Thank you, Department Head Weasley. 
                              
Department Head Malfoy, your response?
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
You must be out of your Goddamn mind if you think
                              
The Minister is gonna bring the nation to the brink
                              
Of war, meddling in the middle of civil unrest
