true, but not so much in the Wizarding World. Hermione was unsure why it had never occurred to her that for a society stuck in the middle ages when it came to wardrobe and architecture the Wizarding world was very equal between men and women. Lucky for her she had the entire libraries of the Peverell, Black, Gryffindor, and Potter vaults, as well as her own considerable collection of books to find an answer in. It turned out to be a rather simple explanation. Unlike with muggles, where physical strength had caused the divide, witches could be just as, or more powerful than any wizard, so they were not treated as inferior on principal. It was a breath of fresh air when they left muggle london and made their way to Diagon Alley. Their twenty first century muggle attire was hidden under inconspicuous wizarding cloaks as they made their way into the Alley. They had decided to keep their first names, Harrison and Hermione, as, with the particular houses they would be heirs of, their parents would most likely have been english. Their surname, however, would be that of the "French squib caretaker" who had taken them in. So they entered Gringotts arm in arm as Hermione Jean and Harrison Evan Morin. The goblins accepted their story, though looked a bit wide eyed at the amount of money they had on their persons hidden away in, featherlight and undetectably extended, money bags. Their new vault was under the family name, Morin, and they were the only two with access. They were glad that the vault automatically extended when filled, as they had a lot of things with them that took up a lot more space than galleons, namely, books. Until they had a home of their own, most of the more, questionable, books were to be kept in their vault.
