Hermione had dreams of starting her own magical law practice so that one day she could fight for the most vulnerable, those without a voice or the means to advocate for themselves. She obviously didn’t believe there had been any reform as far as the treatment and conditions for prisoners in Azkaban. She was also determined to end the unlawful interrogation of students at Hogwarts. If so many Ministry employees were supposedly blind to Shacklebolt and Percy’s misconduct, then she assumed there had to be others who were lied to or taken advantage of. Corruption always ran deep.
