Hermione on the other side was able to keep the arrests hidden since her parents weren’t reading the prophet and didn’t know, what was happening. She also made contact with Headmaster Dumbledore and he was able to stop her parents from reading the newspaper or getting interested in the magical world. She hated it, how much John’s brother was causing pain to the Potters. They hadn’t done anything wrong and they were treated like trash by the public. When she went to Diagon Alley with the Weasleys, Hermione heard the cheers about the Potters’ arrests. What was wrong with these people? Didn’t they understand that a wonderful, light family was destroyed and ruined by the selfish desire of John’s twin and they were celebrating the arrests like it was the defeat of a dark lord? She didn’t understand it, how heartless and evil the magical society became, but she had a goal now and it was to become minister of magic and she was going to make sure that the Potters and Sirius got everything they deserved back including forcing John’s brother to return to his family or being arrested for making false charges against the Potters and make sure that the dark and evil witches and wizards like the Malfoys were sent to Azkaban for conspiracy. But that goal was too far away, but Hermione would work hard to reach her goal.
