anais_rhys requested Jon or Stephen interviewing Hermione after she got the Wizarding Statute of Secrecy rescinded.
“So, as it turns out, you are—how should I put this—not so fictional,” Jon said.
Hermione grinned. “I’m not,” she agreed cheerfully.
“And the reason I thought you were fictional would be the statute you got rescinded,” Jon said.
“The Wizarding Statute of Secrecy, yes,” Hermione said. “But I didn’t get it done all by myself. I had plenty of help.”
Jon smiled. “And this statute forbid the wizarding community from openly interacting with—the word is Muggles, those without powers.”
Hermione nodded. “The statute was mired in prejudice,” she replied. “There’s no other way to say it. It was created by wizards who both feared and held Muggles in contempt, and was simply antiquated. Someone had to do something about it.”
Jon nodded back, clearly absorbing that. “Your parents are Muggles, isn’t that right? But you’re a witch?” Jon tapped his pen on his desk, leaning in slightly. “How does that work.”
“Bloodlines,” Hermione said brightly. “Oh, it’s incredibly fascinating. I read this book once, on magical theory, and it posited that everyone in the world, even Muggles, have a magical ancestor of some kind. I really ought to reread it—I read it my second year at Hogwarts—because it was just so interesting. Actually, no, maybe I ought to see about getting it re-published, instead. With the statute no longer an issue, everyone should be able to have access to these books, and I think it may explain a lot.” It occurred to Hermione that she’d started rambling, and she blushed, giving Jon an apologetic look. “I’m sorry. Once I start talking about books, I tend not to stop.”
He smiled at her. “It’s fine. Your enthusiasm—it’s infectious. It’s tremendous, really. And I don’t think there’s anything you can say I wouldn’t find interesting. Finding out a magical community really exists is something of a—well, I believe the term is ‘mind fuck’.”
Hermione laughed. “Yes, I can see how it would be. But an ultimately pleasant one, I hope!”
“Oh, I think so,” Jon said. “Really, you want to know the craziest thing about this whole situation?”
Hermione nodded, interested. “Of course.”
“A ton of religious fundamentalists were actually, unbelievably, right about something: J.K. Rowling is a witch.” Jon shook his head. “Now that,” he said, tilting his head just slightly, “is what I call a mind fuck.”
