Harry and Hermione were walking while holding hands, It’s been less than twelve hours since they made the ritual, and they couldn’t care less about what was going on in the world.

Not only did they manage to create the spell and artifact to turn magical into squibs, but their relationship also changed for the better; they took a great step last night, one that is going to change their lives forever.

They were lost in each other’s eyes until they entered the great hall. There was chaos in the room, people were discussing something, and they were clearly scared about it.

“What the hell is going on here?” Harry asked his girlfriend with a curious tone.

“I don’t know, let’s hope Neville tells us what's wrong,” the brown-haired witch said with a concerned expression.

It took them more than usual to find their friend, surprisingly, he was happier than they had seen him before.

“Hey, Nev, what’s with all this chaos?” Asked Harry with a concerned expression.

“It happened, justice finally happened!” Said Neville happily before he showed them the newspaper he was holding.

“The serial squibber attacks again: Bellatrix Lestrange is the last victim!” Hermione read with eyes wide open.

Soon, she and her boyfriend shared a look of surprise but also happiness. They did it, the finally fucking did it, their plan was a success.

“So this is why the Aurors aren’t present in the great hall this morning,” Hermione said with a small smile.

“It’s clear that this person is dangerous, as for now, he has only attacked a ministry worker with afiliations to blood purist groups and a recently escaped death eater, so, the pattern is clear, he or she is not randomly attacking people, however, we need to be careful with what we do or say as me and my team didn’t detect this person nearby while Bellatrix Lestrange lost her magic, so, it seems like they found a way to attack without being present,” Harry read Amelia Bones' interview with a small smile.

He was fighting hard not to burst out laughing, he was hoping that the whole country would get the message, at least he’s hopeful that with this, people are going to think twice about joining Voldemort.

However, this wasn’t enough because, regardless of what the general public thinks, Voldemort still has tons of supporters and they are powerful and rich, they are in the high ranks of the ministry, so, of course they feel untouchable, he and Hermione needed to do something.

“Hermione…Can I have some words with you?” He whispered, and that caused an uproar amongst some female students.

Parvati and Lavender let out a sound that reminded Harry of an ambulance as they made fun of the love birds, as they call them. A blushing Hermione nodded, and soon, they were already in the room of requirement.

Draco Malfoy was still there, frozen thanks to the petrification charm; thanks to that, they could leave him here without worrying he could do something stupid while they're gone.

“It looks like we've succeeded but…” Harry said with a worried tone.

“But?” Hermione questioned, knowing where he was going.

“Please don’t hate me, Mione, your notebook is an amazing and powerful concept, but—” He couldn’t continue.

“It’s not that efficient, yeah, I know, it requires tons of magic to only turn one person into a squib,” Hermione sighed. “What do we do now? There are many unworthy people out there, it’s going to take us ages to take care of all of them!” Hermione couldn’t help but sigh sadly.

Harry didn’t say anything; in fact, he was looking everywhere but at her, and this caused the witch to look at her boyfriend with a curious expression.

“Harry…Is there something you want to say?” She asked with a raised brow.

“No…Well, yes,” he said a bit worried. “We still have the spell,” Harry said with a smirk.

“But what—” She suddenly stopped in her tracks as her eyes widened. “No, Harry, that’s too dangerous, we could get caught, and if they find out what we did, we’re going to get sentenced to death!” Hermione tried to stop him.

“Look…You don’t have to do it, I’ll do it myself, I can travel back in time so I can stay with you in the common room or somewhere where people sees us, this will work well as an alibi while my present self is outside the castle taking care of the death eaters,” he tried to reason with her.

“But Harry…You’re too famous to—” She was about to use this as an argument, but then, her eyes widened and she started to smile, which concerned her boyfriend. “But, what if we use Polyjuice potion while we do it?” She wondered with a curious tone.

Harry couldn’t believe it, his mouth opened so that he felt like one of those cartoon characters, he was fearing his jaw would hit the floor. She was so scared a few moments ago, and now she wanted to get involved in this dangerous quest, so his surprise suddenly turned into a smile. He soon moved, and he was now holding her from behind, his hands on her waist.

“Wait, Harry,” she said while giggling as her boyfriend kissed her neck.

“You’re the most amazing witch in the world, you know that, right?” He asked with a happy tone.

“Maybe...But it doesn't hurt you reminding me that from time to time,” she said cheekily, but he just smiled at her.

“So, are we together in this?” He asked now that he was in front of her.

“Yes, I can’t let you do this alone. We’re a team, we can’t allow ourselves to hide while the world is on the risk of ending, we need to take care of the bugs before they become a pest,” Hermione’s tone was cold and serious.

Harry nodded at her words; he completely agreed with her.

“There’s another thing we need to discuss…We need to get rid of Malfoy already, I think we already got enough information from studying him,” Hermione said with a calm tone as they stared at the petrified ferret.

“Yes, it’s time for him to leave the magical world,” Harry couldn’t help but chuckle,

“What are you planning to do with him?” Hermione asked with a worried tone.

“Well, he has been looking down on muggles and those who are not pure of blood for a long time, he needs to pay his debt to the British society by…Serving those whom he has offended,” Harry chuckled.

Hermione soon showed a grin.

“Let’s modify his memories to make him forget about his family and us but he’s also going to be aware he’s squib and he’s still going to continue hating muggles, let’s make him believe he’s going to get his magic back if he works as a trashman, and then, he can spend the rest of his life taking care of the trash of those he has considered inferior to him all his life,” his words made Hermione smirk.

It was the perfect punishment, there was no violence, but he was going to do something that not even muggles like, and that was taking care of trash. This was going to be awful because he was going to serve muggles, this was his chance to change but if he screws up and his discrimination continues, the streets are going to take care of him, nothing but pure poetic justice.

“I sometimes feel concerned about your ideas Harry, this is just too perfect,” she said with a happy smile.

“Well, if I'm able to surprise the amazing Hermione Granger, then I can consider myself satisfied,” he joked, and she playfully slapped his shoulder.

“Come on, let’s plan on how to get this big boy out of here,” Hermione chuckled.

The couple had great plans, the world is going to lament the day they made Harry Potter and Hermione Granger angry.
