   Summary

   Two years after the war, Hermione Granger has dedicated herself to rebuilding the Ministry of Magic through progressive reform. But when she returns to find her work repurposed into authoritarian policy— now mandating arranged marriages between bloodlines— she realizes the system she helped craft is being used for subtle ethnic cleansing under the guise of unity.

   As the public cries for retribution and the Ministry trades justice for control, Hermione is forced into a union with none other than Bellatrix Lestrange, a match designed to end a legacy and make a statement.

   With tensions rising inside the government and whispers of unrest outside it, Hermione must navigate old and new loyalties, ideological fractures, and the growing realization that peace built on control is no peace at all.
