Title: Change the World
Author: Evandar
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Genre: Angst
Pairings: Parvati/Lavender
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and am making no profit from this story.
Summary: Parvati's summer internship with the Ministry is fraught with danger.
Author's Notes: Written for the prompt Aquarius on femslash100's Astrology Challenge. My table can be found here. According to Astrology.com, Aquarians are humanitarian, philanthropic and keenly interested in making the world a better place.



She writes to Lavender all through the summer, about her work in the office and her plans for the future and how she’s going to take the Ministry’s noose of red tape and set fire to it. She phrases it differently – the world is darkening around them, and there are hints at work that things aren’t as they seem. The Dark Lord has sunk his claws in.

Parvati is foreign, but a pureblood. She’s safe. So is Lavender, thankfully, though only just. But she wants to work with Magical Beings (no, she doesn’t have a SPEW badge) and she can only watch and smile blankly from behind her desk as the world crumbles beneath her clients.

She hates it. She hates Voldemort. She can’t say it, so she writes it instead, in the code they came up with in first year, and vows silently to change it. With Lavender. Together.

Poor babies. I've always wished we got to see more of the other student's perspectives on Voldemort's reemergence, and this reminds me exactly why!

Thanks! There was so much left out of Deathly Hallows about the other students' experiences that it's a really interesting thing to write about. There's so much space to explore!
