"Something like that," she said with a quiet chuckle. "I'm sure Daphne will be quite
the positive influence on him."
"My wife has always been taken with you, and since your return, she's been in,
well... She's been much more pleasant than usual."
Mia mirrored his sudden grin. "Is Laurel ever anything but pleasant?"
He scoffed incredulously. "If she weren't, I'd be hard-pressed to inform her best
friend, lest I end up sleeping on the sofa."
"Your home doesn't have spare rooms?"
"Not when Laurel's in a mood, it doesn't," he replied cheekily.
Kingsley cleared his throat, requesting everyone to take their seats. He wore a smile
on his face, and Mia wondered if he truly believed that this was the end of her plans.
Draco escorted Mia to her chair before taking his place right behind her in the seat

relaxed sigh, "is there any further business?"
Mia stood, gently clasping her hands in front of her. "Yes, Minister, I
have several things I'd like to take care of, actually."
Kingsley did not even pretend to be surprised by this. "We recognise Hermione
Potter and offer her the floor."

and face the Wizengamot. "Not unless things get out of hand," she added, her focus on
Dolores.
"Lords, Ladies, and fellow members of the Wizengamot. I would like to take my
first action as a member of this esteemed assembly," she announced with a deceptively
sweet smile, one that she knew made her look so much like Dorea Potter that she might as
well have worn green, "by accusing Madam Dolores Umbridge of fraud, legislation forgery,
and the use of an Unforgivable on a high ranking Ministry official."
Umbridge turned red with fury, and the Wizengamot fell silent in shock.
"I formally request that she be immediately dismissed from the Wizengamot."
