a/n: for some inconceivable reason, I had an intense urge to write this – so I did!

Hermione sat down wearily collapsing on her very muggle bed at her very muggle home. It was the summer before her final year at Hogwarts. After what she had just done she'd probably never have that last year. "I did it," she murmured to herself. "I truly, finally did it."

Hermione was relieved that she had done it, she knew it had to be done, and she knew that, at least at first, no one would forgive or understand her. After all, muggleborn witches, or anyone for that matter, were normally not singlehandedly responsible for changing an entire government. Hermione Granger had always been an extraordinarily intelligent with, the plan she had executed proved it so. She couldn't wait to see the headlines.

Rita Skeeter was proud of her work, she had just written a shocking article for the Daily Prophet. Of course, to most people the truly shocking thing was that every word of the said article was true. After all one didn't have to embellish much upon the headline, it practically wrote itself. Though she had to admit, the words "Minister Married then Murdered, Mayhem in Ministry, Muggleborn new Minister" had a certain ring to them.

A/N:It's short confusing and sounds stupid, I know, but if I continue writing it'll actually make sense. If anyone has interest I'd love to know!
