Sometimes Hermione thought that the wizarding community needed a good overhaul – they could learn so much from Muggles these days. Muggles had leapt forward in technological advances, scientific knowledge, and societal change, and the wizarding world was still trapped in the past. For all that witches and wizards could use magic, in many ways Muggles were far more powerful than them, and the wizarding world could learn a lot from the people that they hated, disparaged, or treated as quaint curiosities. Hermione wondered idly if perhaps after the war, she would be able to get a job at the Ministry and effect changes from within. But there was no point in making plans and dreaming about what might be; the future was far from certain and dreams were just that – dreams, ephemeral and insubstantial.
