Aw, thanks so muchy, my dear. I'm so glad you liked it. I loved writing Millicent so am definitely going to have to do it again in the future. It was tough keeping her held back for so long given her circumstances -- but it was fun to try. Charlie *was* clueless which was part of the fun too.
Sadly, I can see the Ministry, even run by Kingsley, doing stuff like this. It's more humane than throwing everyone into Azkaban and being tormented by Dementors, but it's hardly kind. I'd think that the Wizarding population would be crying for blood and retribution after the war, so there would be some sort of reckoning.
