Just a teensy weensy bit of an AU premise. Spoilers for the first chapter of HBP.


Fudge had left. Scrimgeour had left. The Prime Minister steepled his fingers, his brows creasing.

This was all too much to bear. Magical warfare, evil wizards, monstrous supernatural forces loose in his Britain? Utterly ridiculous. And him with his hands tied. No one in the world would believe him, which only made it worse.

Then it hit him. He reached for the phone. "Excuse me, Shacklebolt," he said to his secretary, "but could you patch me through to Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, please?"

"Of course, Mr. Major," said Shacklebolt. "Is something wrong?"

"Not any more."

Maggie would know what to do.

I just found you through an old messageboard link to "Hellblazer: Hogwarts", and figured anyone who can write *that* is interesting enough to friend. D'you mind?

I squee with joy. Twice. Do keep it up; your characterisation of John is shatteringly brilliant, to the point where I'm considering writing a shamelessly SI fic-within-a-fic.

Oh, my Gods...that's just too beautiful.

I love the way your mind works.

She'd sure as hell be a lot more effective than *Dumbledore* has ever managed.

That's one mental image I won't be forgetting in *ever*. [giggles hysterically]

So you hold by the theory that Major is still PM as of Half-Blood Prince, not Blair?

(She'd almost certainly already be Baroness Thatcher by this point, though, since that was 1992. See the Wikipedia entry on her.)

Governments, I think.

Wikipedia seems to agree with you on the dates.

"Premierships" seems to be the popular word these days, where "term" isn't specific enough.
