On the same night that [[William Weasley|Bill Weasley]] and [[Fleur Delacour]] were [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|married]], the Death Eaters seized control of the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] and murdered [[Minister for Magic]] [[Rufus Scrimgeour]], installing [[Pius Thicknesse]] as his replacement.
