In 1993 Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge borrowed the room so he could talk to Harry Potter about his safety and that he didn't have to worry about Sirius Black (who was thought to be a mass-murderer).
Eventually, the Ministry is forced to acknowledge the emergency and act on it. Fudge is subsequently removed from office for incompetence and replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour.
No, Cornelius Fudge is not a Death Eater. He is the Minister of Magic in JK Rowling's ``Harry Potter'' series, specifically during the earlier books. While he is portrayed as somewhat inept and often in denial about the rise of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, he is not affiliated with them.
We saw this in HBP: Sirius was wanted by the Muggles because Fudge specifically made a point of liaising with the Muggle Prime Minister to warn him of the danger an escaped Azkaban convict might pose.
He did tell Fudge at the end of book 4, but was not believed as Lucius was not only exonerated at the end of the first war (by claiming to have been under the Imperius curse), but also because he was a personal friend who presented himself as a philanthropist.

Did Fudge know Umbridge sent the Dementors?
On 2 August 1995, two Dementors were sent to Little Whinging from Azkaban by Dolores Umbridge, without the knowledge of Cornelius Fudge, to attack Harry Potter in an attempt to silence him.
Due to the immense fear that Voldemort commanded and the threat he posed against wizarding Britain, Minister Fudge adamantly refused to believe that he had returned and instead deluded himself into believing a more comforting nonsensical scenario, that Dumbledore was trying to usurp his position of Minister for Magic.
Yes. Dumbledore either knew, planned, or otherwise intended to save Buckbeak. This is why he misdirected and delayed Fudge and company to give Harry and Hermione enough time to rescue Buckbeak. As for how Dumbledore planned for this is still up for speculation because time travel is funny and riddled with plot holes.
Harry describes Umbridge to Sirius Black, saying that she's vile enough to be a Death Eater, despite not being one. Umbridge is also depicted to be a prejudiced person, despising half-breeds and Muggle-born witches and wizards to the point of firing Hagrid due to his half-giant birth status.
Kingsley was a tall black wizard and was described as broad shouldered. He was bald, and wore a single gold hoop earring. He had a slow, deep voice that was said to be reassuring.
Dolores Umbridge – A character that still makes us shudder, before she was terrorising Hogwarts with her Educational Decrees, she had been a Hogwarts student herself as part of Slytherin house.
By the 1940s, Slughorn had met Tom Marvolo Riddle, who went on to become a favourite of his. Tom was very intelligent and seemingly promising, but he knew how to manipulate Slughorn by flattering him.
There are defenses against veritaserum and it doesn't give you the truth, just what the one who ingested it believed to be the truth. Fudge was also not interested in the truth. He needed Harry and Dumbledore to be wrong about Voldemort because he preferred his perfect little world.
And Fudge was not the only Ministry official to turn against Dumbledore. His successor, Rufus Scrimgeour, fell out with Dumbledore within hours of his appointment, largely because Dumbledore refused to arrange a meeting between Scrimgeour and Harry.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Thicknesse was stationed within the ranks of the Death Eaters and fought with them against the castle's defenders. He was amongst a group of masked and hooded Death Eaters who successfully penetrated Hogwarts and duelled with Percy Weasley.
Amelia was powerful enough to be considered a threat by Voldemort himself, who felt he had to be the one to kill her, further commenting on her powerful magical ability. Her death, like the death of fellow witch Emmeline Vance, was a terrible blow.
1929 – June 1943), more commonly known after her death as Moaning Myrtle, was a Muggle-born witch who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1940 to 1943 and was Sorted into Ravenclaw house. She was killed in 1943 by the Serpent of Slytherin, which had been released by Tom Riddle.
Let's look at the evidence. So Umbridge acquires the locket as a bribe from Mundungus Fletcher, and though it once belonged to Salazar Slytherin, Merope Gaunt, and Hepzibah Smith, Umbridge is unaware that the locket is one of Lord Vodemort's Horcruxes - or that it belonged to him at all.
He made several desperate attempts to retain his position but was eventually sacked from it in complete disgrace. He was replaced as Minister for Magic by Rufus Scrimgeour but stayed in an advisory capacity and communicated news of the Second Wizarding War to the Muggle Prime Minister if Scrimgeour was unable to.
The use of Harry's blood in the potion, however, would come to be a mistake as it prevented Voldemort from killing Harry because the blood passed Lily Potter's protection to Voldemort and anchored Harry to the living world through him, ensuring the Dark Lord's defeat three years later.
Did Dumbledore know Harry and Hermione save Buckbeak?
On the day of Buckbeak's "execution" and Sirius' capture, Dumbledore tells Harry and Hermione to save both by going back in time. Harry and Hermione believe Buckbeak to be dead, but Dumbledore knows better -- he was present when Buckbeak's absence was discovered.
Hagrid had no idea that Sirius was supposedly the Potter's secret keeper and therefore didn't think to suspect Sirius when they met at the Potter's house.
Harry Potter's hands burned Quirinus Quirrell because of the protective magic his mother left in him when she sacrificed herself to save him. This magic acted as a shield and caused Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, to burn and blister upon physical contact with Harry.
