Loved that ending scene.

Any plans for a sequel? ;)

I can't believe this! Neville?! Neville?! I never thought i could hate Neville! He is spouting the same thing he fought against! This is a masterpiece. I loved reading it!

Fantastic

YES I'm glad I found this story, the heriditary Wizengamot thrope had always iritated my democratic arse to the core! To those saying that the compromise suggested by Neville was the only reasonable thing, bollocks to that! The moderate choice, or the "centre" in politic, only benefit the poweful and the status quo, never the majority. Kudos to the author for showing a realistic portrait of how someone who was previously "moderate" and fighting the good fight can become a sellout bigot without even realising, all in the name of good manners, customs and traditions!

Omg this story is an evil masterpiece.
How can you make me hate Nevil. Neviiiil.

This is a reply to AhmedTech's comment.
Let me start with one thing. You say that Hermione has no idea of the culture, and that muggleborns are the same as her. I say you're wrong. Hermione has been in the magic world for close to a decade now. If we were to consider the magical Britain to be equivalent a county, then she would be eligible for a citizenship. And as a citizen she has a right to demand her rights.
Next, the muggleborn are more or less forced into the world when they are still children. Their only contact with their parents are letters and about 2.5 months of vacation (both summer and winter). And the world they are forced into is one which treats them poorly. Even going back to the muggle world would be hard for them as they have by now missed out on 7 whole years of schooling. It's right for them to demand for a better life.
As for your talk about the conservatives being in power and hence not needing to follow Voldemort, you are once again wrong. While most are bigots, they still want to keep the muggleborn and half-bloods around to rule over them. The ones who flocked to Voldemort were the ones who wanted to eradicate the muggleborn. There's a difference.
As for the effort families put to gain their knowledge, Neville did make your argument, and Hermione countered it. They would be given compensation. What kind could eb discussed when drafting the laws.
As for your statement of our world also being corrupt, it's not wrong. But that doesn't really detract from the fact that the governance system Hermione is trying to overhaul is even worse. If I were to compare it, the system in place would be an Oligarchy, and I'm sure most reasonable people would concur that in almost every conceivable situation a Democracy is better than an Oligarchy.

Oh, and one more point I wanted to raise. They are overhauling the Government, and that should allow them insert checks and balances against the issues they know have risen in modern Democracies. They have the both the will and the public sentiment to build a Democracy which learns from the flaws in our modern ones.

The story itself is very well written, but there are a few problems in it. Biggest problem I have with this story is that the point is quite useless. The conservative faction already has all the power in your story, so they would have had no reason to follow Voldemort. This means there can be no war. If there is no war, the circumstances would be totally different.
Also, Hermione is completely ignoring the fact that muggle society is just as corrupt, and has the same exact problems. Just compare the families to companies. Hermione is trying to get the families to let everyone make their produce? How would this work? Companies have patents for this, would there be nothing of the same sort in the Wizarding World.
There is also the problem of culture. We know nothing of the culture of the Wizarding World in this story, and I assume Hermione doesn't either. Then there is the fact that muggleborns come into another world, and expect that it changes for them, without them respecting the already existing world. There also really haven't been that many great examples in this story about the oppression of Muggleborns, except for the part where the ministry was corrupt, which, I talked about earlier.
She was advocating for a civil war the second she joined the Wizengamot

Great story!

This was a great story, but damn it was a mistake coming into the comment section. Seldom seen so many completely unhinged takes made with such unbelievable conviction.

Incredible and exactly what I wanted when I was looking for an excellent gen fic. Thank you

Watching Neville's descent into elitism and bigotry was so sad.

It was almost frightening how easy it was and how quick it became. As soon as he turned his back on Luna I knew he was too far gone.

To think, it all started in chapter 1, when he decided to have lunch away from his friends, a lunch he didn't enjoy I might add, because of "duty".

His younger self, whom he is so proud to cite to have fought Voldemort, would be disgusted by this version of him.

All these losers in the comment section whining about compromises disgust me. They fought a war and paid in blood for the freedom of their world. Then the freeloading, fencesitting cowards who were hiding and waiting to pick the winning side want to cry out about extremeism. If Voldemort won they would watch as muggleborns were put in camps and wouldnt do shit about it. To the victor go the spoils in my opinion. The winning side decides what happens. Especially in a society where each individual has their own formidable power as a witch or wizard.

God everyone was extremist jerks in this. The only reasonable thing was Nevile compromise, and even then it was rejected

Excellent story.

If you must lie about your opponents and goals to get people to vote against that opponent or opponent’s agenda, then you are someone who MUST NOT be allowed into a position of power. If telling the truth about your opponents, your agenda, or your own self results in you losing elections or legislative votes, then your agenda deserves to lose.

Hermione’s faction aren’t the good guys here, since they weren’t elected and their agenda wasn’t passed based on truth, but on lies. They won the votes, but in doing so, they proved that Neville was absolutely right.
