[ EU ] After being given a brain by the Wizard of Oz , the Scarecrow became the most ruthless and brilliant criminal mastermind in history

I watched as the Wizard floated away on his out of control hot air balloon. While everyone was screaming and being generally unhelpful, I thought of at least ten ways to stop his balloon from floating away without Dorothy. My feelings for that sweet sweet woman made me keep my mouth shut, but then I realized that I actually thought of ten reasons. I have n't thought of anything in my life, at least not that I can remember. I was hoping that Dorothy would decide to stay, and that our relationship could somehow grow. I knew deep down that it was impossible. Even if she felt the way that I did, how could a Scarecrow and a real live girl ever be together? I will admit, when she left I felt sorrow, and grief, and heartache... but that soon changed into something more painful. It made me bitter, and angry, and vengeful. 
 
 With the Wizard gone, I discovered a huge gap in the political power of Oz. No one knew how to keep the whole city running. I became the interim Wizard after convincing the townspeople that the Wizard had wanted me to succeed him, which is why he gave me a brain. Once I stood behind that royal green curtain, I knew this is where I was meant to be. I sent the Tin Man to Witch's castle and had him round up all of the flying monkeys. I had the grooming team make Lion look more feirce, and I placed him in charge of Kingdom security. I needed him on my side; due to his sheer size, he was the only one among them that posed any real threat to me. I granted the Lion the Witch's estate as a reward for his loyalty. I also gave him two servants, eight flying monkeys, and a horse of a different color. The Tin Man was too consumed by his empathy to see past anything I did. At this point, he was basically an fully trusting puppet who was born to serve me. 
 As the new Wizard of Oz I implemented a slightly altered set of rules. Banning fire was the first, and I think most obvious choice. I'm made of tinder as it is, and I would n't want The Wizards heir to be destroyed by a mistake. I also made daily community singing tax deductible. For all the time you spend doing what you enjoy, as long as it benefits others, may be written off as charity. On my 188th day of rule the ground started shaking and the sky turned black. I looked up into the sky and saw a house spinning toward the ground. I had heard stories of what this might look like, but there is nothing to describe how terrifying a falling house can be. I quickly conjured up some spells that I learned from Hermione's book and took aim at the house. I aimed it at the sky and let loose. The house disintegrated in seconds, along with anyone plans of living there.
