If you dare challenge.
Glaciers
The way of the wizarding world moved like a glacier, slow, cumbersome, needing help to change, to thaw from the old ways.
Hermione wanted to change that. Sitting behind her desk, she glanced down at another piece of legislation she was attempting to rewrite. This one dealt with what was joking called the 'marriage law'. Thankfully the ministry hadn't managed to get the votes to reinstate the law, this time. She was worried next time, and there would be a next time, it would get through.
Her goal was to write the whole mess. As it stood right now, any pure blood wizard, or witch, could force a marriage with a muggle-born or half blood. She wanted to rewrite things, so it wasn't so forced, so the muggle-born would have a say in things. She'd heard of some horrible matches made from the last time they'd managed to pass this law, only to have it repealed a year later.
She signed her name to the paperwork, adding to the stack of papers she'd have to owl later. Slowly, one at a time, she hoped they would manage to squeak through and move the wizarding world into modern times.
