HP drabble: Powers of Persuasion [Hermione/Luna, general]
Title: Powers of Persuasion
Author: celandineb
Fandom: HP
Pairing: Hermione/Luna
Rating: general
Summary: Hermione gives a speech.
Note: For morganlf who asked for Hermione/Luna, debate.


"My esteemed colleague may debate the issue," said Hermione, "but the facts are plain. The Ministry has systematically ignored the rights of sentient non-human magical beings for decades, but we must ensure that existing laws are enforced. If we do not respect the law, how can we expect the ordinary witch or wizard to?"

Applause thundered as she left the podium, but Hermione searched for just one figure in the audience. There was Luna, applauding madly, her fair hair arranged in complicated plaits that she claimed would enhance Hermione's powers of persuasion. Hermione smiled. She would thank her lover later.
