The Ministry of Magic has enacted the Magical Community Reestablishment Act. Good thing the Golden Trio are not to be subjected to it. Right? RIGHT? And what if fate takes things into its own hands and decides to shuffle the deck? Rated M for themes and scenes. I do not claim to own these characters or this world. (Pretend Books 6 and 7 don't exist.)
Seven years after Hermione rode the dragon out of Gringotts with Harry and Ron, the Ministry has approved her petition to send someone to find it. That someone is Charlie Weasley.
Draco has scheduled dinner with Charlie to discuss a new business venture. Hermione is waiting back at Draco's flat, hoping the three of them can explore a different type of arrangement after the men finish their meeting.
