Thanks, I tried to put an original spin on the challenge. :)

the Fountain of Magical Brethren was restored with extra gilt

That says it all right there. :-D The only thing that could make it better is

which was paid for by Lucius Malfoy to celebrate his acquittal.

Sweet. *G* That's a genius paragraph, and I love the way the drabble ends -- very hopeful, actually, and also very Ginny.

Thanks very much!

I'm one of the crowd who thinks that for the HP series to end satisfactorily, there will have to be a revolution or the promise of revolution in the wizarding world. Because Voldie seems more a symptom of its problems than the root cause.

The drabble shows the post book seven world without any change to the status quo. But I didn't want it to be completely cynical and, in any case, the challenge was transformation rather than stasis so that's why I added the last line.

The title - Revolution - is from Terry Pratchett quote: "Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes."
