I really enjoyed reading this :) It's a different perspective of Kingsley becoming Minister-usually people show him loving the job and getting on with it easily, I find that this was more realistic since Kingsley doesn't seem to be one to seek out power. I imagine that he took the job to prevent anymore incompetent people from repeating the mistakes of the past :) I like that you kept him in character from what we see in the actual books with him not wanting to be formally addressed. I also enjoyed reading how you changed up the situation with the Malfoys! I was expecting to read the regular 'Lucius should be forgiven too' scenario but I was pleasantly surprised and agreed with the observations that were made :) A brilliant story and thank you for taking the challenge!
