She blinked once, absorbing Alexis's words. The Ministry wanted her to find Separatists? Why?
"Yes, the pamphlets that went out definitely speak of Separatist ideals and I believe should be stopped," Hermione replied. She hesitated before continuing, though. "But what exactly do you plan on doing once you find them? And how exactly am I to go about finding them?"
The things that others had written in her journal and some of what Blaise had said to her in Diagon Alley was sinking in. Was the Ministry just repeating old acts of oppression but for a better cause? One that Hermione actually supported? This would be difficult, indeed. On the one hand, Hermione wanted Integration to work and the only way was to quiet the Separatists, but quieting them may involve punishment. Did she want to quiet them? It seemed the Ministry did.
