[[DidntThinkThisThrough This political stunt backfired big time]], with Fudge [[OhCrap backing off under possible threat of arrest for violating international law]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Snape stripped of all but teaching potions]], and Fudge expected to lose a lot of political power over the coming years.

If Oarai complies, St. Gloriana might go easy on them, but if not, St. Gloriana will field the Tortoise and crush them.
