Harry and Hermione are shocked to find out that their new Minister is Angus Malfoy. One that shares similar ideals to Lord Voldemort. They viewed him as an immature menace at first but that quickly changed and now they see him as a new threat that they have to stop before too many lives get affected by him.
Harry paced back and forth trying to think of a plan. Hermione sat in front of a piece of parchment trying to come up with a written plan. Several pieces of crumpled up parchment was on the floor behind her. She crumpled up the one in front of her and tossed it angrily onto the pile. Harry stopped pacing and faced Hermione. "What are we going to do Hermione?! You always have the ideas. You tell me!" Hermione lay her head on the table. "This time I have no idea. Yeah a first right? Hermione's voice broke. Harry instantly forced himself to calm down feeling bad, and pulled her into a hug. "None of this is your fault and yet all I have been doing is snapping at you or yelling at you. You are just as stressed about this as I am. I love you Hermione. I am sorry." He kissed her forehead and then her lips. She kissed back staring into his eyes and playing with his hair in a soothing manner. "It's okay. I mean it is not okay with you yelling at me all of the time lately. But I understand that you are scared. We all are. This is not good news. I love you too." She kissed him again and together they sat holding each other.

Harry and Hermione decided on going to the Ministry to investigate. and then decide what to do from there. When they arrived, unhappy people with boxes were heading out. Angus had already begun to make changes by firing people he did not like. He fired the muggle borns, and some but not all of the half bloods, just the ones he did not like. New people were already taking over those vacant jobs and they were all hand picked by the new Minister himself, and all were pure bloods. One man was yelling at a man that Harry recognized as one of Angus' friends from the restaurant, "I have been working here for over thirty years! You cannot sack me! Let me speak to the Minister!" The friend who's name was Tom sneered, "The Minister does not have time to listen to the whining of a mudblood like you old man!" He shoved the man toward the door and he fell on the ground hard. Hermione rushed over to help him up and Harry attacked. He knocked over Tom and pointed his wand at him. "That was not necessary! Where is Angus?! Where is Malfoy?!" Tom sneered, "None of your business 'Mudblood' lover." Harry started to say a spell but Hermione stopped him. "Harry no! Stop! You'll get in trouble if you do not stop. Lets go find Angus. This guy, Tom..(she said with forced calm) is not worth our time. Are you okay? She said to the other man that had gathered his fallen things and was ready to retreat. "I am not really..I have been working here for a very long time. I am my family's only source of income. What will I do?" Hermione, "We will get to the bottom of this sir. I'm Hermione Granger and this is Harry Potter." The man's mood shifted slightly and he looked hopeful. "Oh Miss Granger and Mr Potter. I hope you can sort this out. I believe in you. My name is , Frank Higgins. If you need anything, contact me. He wrote down his contact info and handed it to her. Good luck." Hermione smiled, "I am sure we can sort this out. She was not so sure. She held up the confidence act until left. Somewhere in the middle of that conversation, Tom had run off. Harry noticed first and muttered "Coward"under his breath. Hermione gently took his wand from him. I think I should hold onto this. We do not need them right now. We are here to gather information. Then we come up with a plan." Harry sighed. "No offense Hermione, but when do our plans actually work? Remember we usually work better with spontaneity. Our plans usually blow up in our faces." Hermione rubbed her temples where she was beginning to get a headache from the lack of sleep and stress. "We must try at least. Please Harry. I do not want to have to make this any bigger than it has to be. I do not want to have to kill anyone."
...
... The days following the defeat of Lord Voldemort weren't easy ones. They left wounds that weren't easy to heal. Some scars never would. Hermione among others started to go to therapy to find some sort of peace. The past gave her nightmares constantly in the beginning. She still occasionally got them.
...
Harry and Hermione stood outside the office of the Minister holding hands. Hermione took a deep breath and opening the door. Angus was sitting looking over a pile of parchment and writing and cursing. He looked up at them. "Doesn't anyone knock anymore?! What do you two want?!" Harry looked like he wanted to strangle him. He hated all of the Malfoys. He held himself together but barely. " We want to know what your plans are? Why all of the lay offs? They are all perfectly good people." Angus laughed, "No mudblood is good. They are freaks of nature. Pathetic and not worthy of any job in the wizarding world. They arent even real wizards or witches. Hermione took a deep breath before speaking. Her voice shook a little bit. "We are just as real as you are. Some of us are smarter and more capable that you are. We are not freaks. If anyone is a freak, its you." Angus shot up fast and grabbed her arm and squeezed it hard. "Do NOT talk to me like that you filthy mudblood! Do NOT talk to me at all. Do NOT even breathe the same air as me. We are done here, get out!" Both of you! Harry shoved him back. "Hands off of my girlfriend! We are not leaving until we get some answers!" Angus started to yell, " I DO NOT NEED TO ANSWER TO YOU! I AM MINISTER. GET OUT!" At this point security had come in. Angus pointed to Harry and Hermione. "Get them out of here!" Security grabbed them and began dragging them out. Harry bellowed" WE ARE NOT DONE HERE MALFOY! WE WILL STOP WHATEVER IT IS YOU HAVE PLANNED! I SWEAR IT!" Angus just laughed. "Mr. Potter the vigilante. Always has to look for problems where there isnt any. All because he hates my family!" Hermione "There are problems. We will stop you. I guarantee that!" Angus sighed "Make sure they get locked up in Askaban for 24 hours. It should teach them not to mess with me!" All the color drained from Hermione's face. "But we didn't do anything wrong! This is not right!" Harry was shaking with rage and his face very red. They were quickly dragged off and transported to Askaban prison.
Things are definitely not looking good for Harry and Hermione and the rest of the Wizarding World. Will they be able to stop Angus and all of his plans. So far they haven't been able to do anything yet. Find out in the next chapter what happens next.
