Hermione gives Ginny a smug look as she pours herself a  third cup. After the war the Ministry staged a series of trials for the Death Eaters, but ran into complications when considering certain families who may have participated out of duty and obligation rather than loyalty to the Dark Lord. One of the families in question were the Malfoys, who had switched their loyalties by the end of the war. Hermione was the one who had advocated for the trials to mirror those similar to the war crime trials that had occurred in the muggle world over fifty years ago. And as with most things, Hermione was starting to learn, she had also been tasked with the bulk of the actual work (all without having any actual say on the Wizengamot’s rulings).
