The rest of the planning process was quite a bit more contentious than Hermione had expected, although given both Kingsley and Draco's personalities she had definitely anticipated some friction. With an end to the war in sight, Kingsley seemed to become almost foolishly bold and heavy-handed, demanding Draco dismantle the wards around the Manor to allow the Aurors to Apparate in. When Draco had flat-out refused, Kingsley had nearly smashed Hermione's mirror in frustration and they'd needed to take an hour-long break to allow cooler heads to prevail, eventually compromising on reactivating floo access to Malfoy Manor to allow entrance via the parlour.
