Law and order post the Dark Lord was something of a joke, except there was nothing funny about it. Pius Thicknesse was proving his complete ineptitude as Minster for Magic. There was a very valid reason he'd only been placed in his position to be a puppet. As much as she might have wished to be effective, he was in over his head. The various departments and divisions within the Ministry ran themselves, leaving no authority to the central head of the government. Hermione could only imagine how chaotic the organization had become. Yet again she was grateful to no longer be a part of that wretched cesspool of corruption. How was it possible that she ever deemed that a desirable career choice?
