Young Men with Ministerial Potential: Ambitious Hearts and Political Prospects
Written by Matilda Clishmaclaver


With the elections just around the corner, it is only natural for mothers to envision their daughters settling into the highest echelons of political life. As the future of wizarding Britain takes shape, Witch Weekly brings you an exclusive look at the young men worth watching, as they might one day vie for the esteemed position of Minister of Magic. These promising gentlemen not only bear illustrious names but also display qualities that make them captivating prospects for both political and matrimonial alliances - even if they do have a few years to go before they become serious political or matrimonial prospects.

1. Somersby Jedidiah Fudge

Birthdate: March 15, 1871 | Age: 22 | Gender: Male | Occupation: Gringotts Curse Breaker


Hailing from the esteemed Fudge family, Somersby Jedidiah Fudge carries an air of sophistication and intellect that has drawn attention in some circles. While the Fudges are not explicitly political, their reputation precedes them, and Mister Fudge's exemplary dedication to his career as a Curse Breaker has only served to bolster his standing. A formidable young man, Mister Fudge is set to carve a path of his own in the political arena while leaving an indelible mark on society.

2. Cornelius Oleander Flint

Birthdate: August 22, 1864 | Age: 28 | Occupation: Archivist of the Flint Institute of Advanced Magic

Hailing from the renowned Flint family, Cornelius Flint is an archivist of esteemed reputation, engaged in academia that holds a promising sway in political society. His father's prominent position on the Wizengamot has only served to intensify the speculation around the youngest Flints political ambitions. With a foundation in Ravenclaw wisdom and a family legacy steeped in political involvement, he is undoubtedly a young man to be observed closely.

3. Julius Winston Scrimgeour

Birthdate: April 5, 1862 | Age: 31 | Occupation: Investigator in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement

One of the more immediatly eligible gents on the list! Despite the contentious history of his family, Mister Scrimgeour's commitment to the Ministry is unshakable. As an investigator in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, his loyalty to the cause speaks volumes about his potential political aspirations. While Mister Scrimgeour has not openly expressed his ambitions, his dedication to his work renders him a solid candidate for future leadership and future marriage.

4. Cadawalader Ignatius Selwyn

Birthdate: November 11, 1874 | Age: 19 | Occupation: Trainee Auror

The youngest on our list, Cadawalader Ignatius Selwyn, brings a touch of youthful vigor to the realm of political prospects. As a recent acceptee to the Auror training program starting this September, he follows in the footsteps of his father, whose notable position in the Ministry is both a blessing and a potential challenge. Mister Selwyn's journey in the Ministry will undoubtedly shape his political future, and if he can learn from his father's experiences, the Selwyn name might yet find itself in higher echelons of power.

5. Kristoffer Adolf Lestrange

Birthdate: May 4, 1871 | Age: 22 | Occupation: Portkey Office Employee


While Kristoffer Adolf Lestrange currently holds a position in the Portkey Office that may raise eyebrows for being so unnotable, the Lestrange name carries an unmistakable weight. As the heir of his particular branch of the Lestrange family, Mister Lestrange is undoubtedly a formidable contender for significant public office if he chooses to pursue such a path given his family's notable position. With charisma and determination, he may very well prove to be a force to be reckoned with in both political and matrimonial circles.

As society watches with bated breath, these young men may stand poised to shape the wizarding world's future, making them prime candidates for both mothers seeking prestigious matches for their daughters and for ambitious careers within the Ministry in the future.
