I was inspired so here is chapter 2

Chapter 2
Please proceed to Phase I!
Finally flipping open the folder, Lucinda's eye fell on the top paper.
Level I Subject
Rehabilitation Procedure
for
First Class Rehabilitation Officers
1) Pick up the Subject at Azkaban prison and accompany him/her to their residence of choice in order to start Phase I.
2) Phase I: For the next coming 365 days the subject will be under direct supervision at all times. During Phase I steps should be undertaken to enable a successful re-entry into Wizarding society. Steps to undertake may vary depending on the Subject.
3) Phase II: After successful completion of Phase I, the Subject will enter Phase II in which, for the duration of 365 days, the Subject will visit the rehabilitation office on a weekly basis to report his/her progress in re-entering Wizarding society. Further assistance and advice should be offered to the Subject. In case of major problems, the rehabilitation officer should make use of the provided emergency protocols (annex XI).
4) Phase III: After completion of Phase II, the Subject will have to check in on a yearly basis to discuss his/her position in Wizarding society.
Please pay special attention to the following!
Besides the usual restrictions and regulation that apply to normal Subjects, the following additional rules and regulation apply to Level I Subjects:
1) Apparition is prohibited at all times. Floo connections will be permitted under special regulation and can be applied for by the Subject or his/her rehabilitation officer (annex XIV).
2) The use of spells and hexes categorised by the Ministry as Level 3 or higher are prohibited at all times (for a complete list see annex XVII).
3) The maximal distance allowed between a Level I Subject and his/her rehabilitation officer has been set at 0.5 miles during Phase I. Please keep this in mind, since crossing this distance will lead to an immediate immobilisation of the Subject at all times.
4) Level I Subjects can/will be traced by the Ministry at all times, for ever!
Raising an eyebrow at that last little statement, Lucinda reread the protocol once more, letting all the information sink into her brain. Technically Level I Subjects simply exchanged one prison for another under the pretence of regaining personal freedom. Nice kind of freedom that was, being traced down 24/7 by the Ministry for the rest of your life.
But it would not only mean a great deal of change for her Subject, but also for her. For the next year she would be exchanging her crappy, sloppy but cosy "closet" of an apartment in order to stay at her "Subject's residence of choice". They really should do something about the bureaucratic tone of those protocols, they made it all sound so horribly impersonal, like there were no human beings involved at all. Only Subjects! Well, she would be sleeping, eating, living and breathing at her Subjects' residence of choice while trying to find a way to do the unthinkable. How did one re-enter one of Britain's most wanted war criminals into Wizarding Society?
Especially keeping in mind all those very convenient extra restrictions and regulations which made it almost impossible to function as a normal human being. She had some serious thinking to do right there! Her social life would come to a halt off course, being so far away from everyone and everything and dating would be rather impossible. Unless off course, she could find some fine young mind that didn't mind having diner with her and a Level I Subject. Maybe she should put out an add!
While being on the subject, she wasn't entirely sure why she got this job in the first place. Off course, she had been promoted to rehabilitation officer first class, which meant she should be up to the job, but something told her she hadn't been picked for this one merely based on skill and talent. The fact that she was a pureblood most likely played a role as well as the fact that she was very well connected, being the favourite niece of the Minister of Magic. And there was the little nagging fact that she was still single and totally unconnected to anyone particular. No parents to go to on weekends, no boyfriend that would complain about her absence, no classes she would miss, no kids at home to raise.
Simply said, she could be missed for a year and they knew it. All together she was the ideal person for the job, making at once sure that the outside world would think the Ministry took every single ex convict seriously, while at the same time leaving open the option of serious, but unintentional failure due to her inexperience or his unwillingness to participate. Most likely the last option would be in the official reports, because she was quite sure no one meant her any harm in this scheme. Even if she failed she would walk a way with credit for at least trying and a Level I assignment on her resume, putting her far in front of any of the competition for some of the higher ranks in her or other Departments at the Ministry.
Still, somewhere deep inside her she felt the great need to actually succeed. She wanted this to work out fine, for her but also for the other party involved. After all, it was why she had started working here in the first place, not to rise quickly in the Ministry ranks, but to help others who couldn't fend for themselves. Now she only needed a plan as to how to succeed. Well, she still had an entire evening and night to come up with something, while packing her life into her suitcase. Slipping the folder into her bag, she decided to go home and enjoy her last night of relative freedom.
