I love this story.

Honest. I'm not just saying that.

I was always kind of disappointed that Rowling decided to end Harry Potter on a high note. From all we've seen, the Wizarding world sucks at justice and equality before the law- one of my favorite fan theories is that Britain is the magical world's version of Rwanda or Somalia, where outrageous human rights abuses take place daily but nobody wants to interfere.

And I think it makes great conflict to address this with the most outspoken, idealistic character in the books.

Again, great job, adding to favorites

This is an amazing story, I loved it! I really liked how you incorporated so many characters in the oneshot (especially Lee Jordan, his cameo was expertly pieced together!) and somehow managed to write an original piece that echoed canon perfectly. I liked Hermione most - I find she's pretty difficult to get just right, since although she's insanely smart and intelligent, she can make mistakes, she can be imperfect, and that's really brought out here. It makes her more human and likeable, if that makes sense...!

[The Minister tried to catch her, but Hermione cast a Slippery Jinx on herself, weaving through the tightly pressed shoulders like an otter in a stream.]

I loved this bit most! It was good to see Hermione's creative intiative and of course, with her Patronus being an otter, I thought this was a really cool analogy.

I hope to read more of your Harry Potter works!

This is a very sweet one-shot. All the characters are so well done. Poor Elmer! I love how Lee Jordan is working in journalism but outside the Daily Prophet. I imagine Rita Skeeter wrote that article saying Hermione was sacked. I just love how you worked so many characters and situations into this. Very believable. And I love Dr. Seuss!

Very nice- I can see Hermione losing sight of things all while thinking she's doing exactly what she set out to do. She's determined, but she's also very single minded, and once she'd set her mind on her current course of action it makes sense that she became blind to her original idea of total house elf freedom. That her ultimate 'plan' involved a registry for house elves is absolutely brilliant, considering that during the Second Wizarding War she had to go into hiding due to a registry for Muggleborns.

I've been very impressed by your stories- Your characterization is amazing, and I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've read so far.

This is a great little story, it certainly stands on its own as a one-shot, but I could totally see it expanded to something longer. I just get excited to see someone picking up one of the themes that was sort of left by the wayside at the end of the original series and running with it.

The characterization of everyone in the story, not only the "big three," but the wonderful secondary characters, Edward, Elmer and Pavarti, is excellent.

I also I love all the little magical details, like the dancing numbers... that's the stuff that made me fall in love with the series in the first place.

Ooh, I love this! It's definitely interesting to see Hermione learn that you can't always accomplish the ideals you want to when politics get in the way, and I love that you made Shacklebolt more of a bad guy and showed that there's still corruption in the Prophet. Elmer and Edward were nice OC additions, too; the Hawaiian shirt bit was pretty entertaining, and it was nice to see Hermione's relationship with her assistant in contrast to the work she's been trying to do for equality. Nice job all around!

You're right, I did thoroughly enjoy it. D

Once again you brought a rarely seen side of Hermione, the doubtful oh-crap-I-messed-up; to life.

I was always curious why she changed jobs, and this gives a great reason why, and a very plausible one too.

The best of intentions, right?

My brain isn't functioning right now, but to put it simply, a great story that really brings Hermione's insecurities and in the end her return of resolve to the forefront.

XD

What a great story!

You nailed Hermione's character. Absolutely 100% in my mind. You also did a great job integrating that quotation. It's hard to make a rhyme-especially a well known one like that-blend in, but putting it in the house elf's mouth was perfect. I thought your style was light and humourous.

I didn't like the way Ron fit into the story as much. He seemed a little flat. (Although, it was refreshing to read a Ron not all bumbling and stupid remarks.) But I understand that when you only have so much space, you can only have so much characterization.

Lastly, your spelling and grammar are impeccable.

Really, a top-grade story.

I really enjoyed this. I like the way you write both Ron and Hermione, and their relationship. Good point about minority rights in there, as well. Thank you for sharing this story.

Wow. What a great story. I never bought into Hermione buying into the establishment. Good job.

Very original, loved it!
