I really really like how this chapter turned out. I didn't get a chance to edit this too much before posting so please tell me if you spot anything.
Not a whole lot goes on but you do get a look into Hermione's Campaign. Now I don't want to spoil too much for you so hurry up and read this!
Harry paced the floor of Grimauld Place, "this isn't blowing over like it should" he thought with a huff. He could hear the sounds of Ginny moving around in the kitchen and frowned at the paper in his hands. Former Golden Boy Still Hiding Away, the headline proclaims. Crumpling the newspaper, Harry plastered a smile onto his face and went into the kitchen to see his fiancée. "How's the wedding prep going, Gin?" He dropped a kiss onto her cheek. "Mm, smells yummy."
Ginny blew a wayward strand of hair from her face before turning and giving Harry a kiss. "It would go faster if you helped. I'm busy with training and if I give Mum free reign over it the wedding will be too much and I know that you don't like too much of a spotlight on yourself if you can help it."
"I know Gin, I know. I'm just worried about the papers and work and everything. How about I go and help you and Molly after Sunday dinner?"
"Harry Potter! It's Monday! You can take some time out of your 'busy schedule' to help me before then!" She placed her hands on her hips in a motion reminiscent of her mother. "You don't think I'm tired after training all day with the Harpies and then making dinner but I still find time to owl my mother throughout the week! You do paperwork at your desk for 8 hours and then come home and lock yourself away!" She turned from Harry and went back to the pot on the stove, mixing it with more vigor than was strictly required.
Harry sighed inaudibly and then walked out of the room. It's never a good idea to going at Ginny when she's already annoyed or one is likely to have bats flying out of their nose.
War Heroine Runs for Minister
Hermione Granger, member of the famous Golden Trio, is taking the wizarding world by storm! In a shocking move Miss Granger has decided to run for Minster of Magic! Many people have been talking about having current Minister of Magic Kingsley Shaklebolt replaced after his scandal involving the same biased hiring practices that we had looked to remove from the previous Ministry under the rule of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named himself!
Just yesterday Hermione Granger announced that she planned to run for Minister of Magic and the initial reaction seems to be very positive. If this campaign is successful then we will have our first Muggleborn Minister of Magic and if that's not a sign of new times ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what is.
Granger Campaign Is Under Way
This past month has been a very productive one for Hermione Granger. She has won the hearts of the Wizarding World with her fiery spirit and her belief in the good that Wizarding Britain can accomplish. Dear readers, we believe in her and what she stands for! People crow at her speeches and many a business can be seen sporting an 'I Support Hermione Granger' sign out front and it has been noted by this reporter that those businesses have been booming recently. She doesn't just win the vote of those who have been traditionally oppressed but the Pureblood Vote as well, which does not bode well for Pureblooded Minister Kingsley Shakelbolt, because of who her campaign manager is! This reporter has the inside scoop that the driving force behind the aggressive Granger Campaign is none other than Sacred 28 Pureblood and heir to the Malfoy fortunes, Draco Malfoy! Nothing shows the true coming together that Hermione Granger preaches like having these Hogwarts rivals team up for the good of the Wizarding World.
Hermione Granger Visits Saint Mungos
Just yesterday morning I had caught Miss Hermione Granger visiting the children's ward at Saint Mungos. After researching that she did not have a sick child in that ward I waited patiently for her to leave so that I may enlighten my rabid readers on why she had gone into that particular ward on that particular day and you will not be disappointed as to why. I managed to talk to Miss Granger as she left the ward that afternoon. "I stop by occasionally and visit the children. It really makes them happy to meet me and if I can make a child smile because of my fame then I'll put it to good use." Hear that folks! Miss Granger frequents the Children's Ward, not for fame and the glory of it, because if I had not been covering another piece [to be released in Sunday's Prophet, be on the lookout] then no one would have ever known what a kind soul our future Minister is. Thankfully, my dear readers, I am a reporter who jumps on any opportunity to keep you in the loop of the going-ons of our important people.
Future Minister Throws a Fundraiser Ball
Anyone who is anyone received an invitation to Hermione Granger's War Fundraiser Ball that took place in Malfoy Manor on Saturday Night. This reporter was one of the lucky few who were given the opportunity to be there and report back to you, lovely readers, on what took place.
The Ball was beautifully decorated by Narcissa Malfoy, who is said to be very close to Miss Granger, and the ball went on without a hitch that this reporter could see! Of course, the Malfoy's always did know how to throw a party. By the end of the night Miss Granger had managed to raise 100,000 Galleons that will go towards the rebuilding of many small business owners and families that have not been able raise the funds on their own to restart their lives. A truly noble cause, especially when Miss Granger needs money to fund her campaign, but we all know what a soft spot Miss Granger has for those in need, it is one of the reasons that she is running in the first place! We are a community in need and Hermione Granger is going to fix us.
Harry glared at the old newspapers in front of him. "How dare she do this to me! After everything we've been through together, tossing me aside after I tried to help her, working with Malfoy like she is. Just Disgusting."
There's a knock on the study door. "Harry? Dinner's ready."
"Coming!"
