One possible plot could be that Harry is assigned to a special task force within the Ministry. He might be working on solving a mystery related to dark magic artifacts that are being smuggled. Along the way, he has to deal with the bureaucracy and some old - fashioned Ministry officials who are skeptical of his methods.
Ron could be Harry's ally as well. Despite his sometimes clumsy nature, he's loyal and has his own areas of expertise, like wizard chess which could be metaphorically applied to some strategic decision - making in the Ministry. Additionally, some of the younger, more progressive Ministry employees who are inspired by Harry's heroics could also side with him and be his allies in any changes or projects he undertakes within the Ministry.
In this fanfic, Harry could be suing the Ministry over their education policies. For example, Hogwarts might be facing some unfair regulations that are harming the students' learning experience. Harry, having a strong sense of justice, takes on the Ministry. He might gather support from other students, teachers, and even some of the wizarding families who are also affected by these policies. He would then present his case in a wizarding court, which could be full of all sorts of magical procedures and challenges.
Well, one possibility could be that Harry realizes the Ministry has some good intentions that have been misconstrued. He might ally with them to fight a common enemy, like a new dark wizard threat that is more powerful than Voldemort. Harry could use his influence within the wizarding community to bridge the gap between the Ministry and the people who have lost trust in it.
One possible aspect could be the power dynamics. Lucius, being a Death Eater, has a complex relationship with the Ministry. In Harry's fifth year, the Ministry is in a state of denial about Voldemort's return. Lucius might be trying to manipulate the Ministry's actions for Voldemort's gain while Harry is fighting against the Ministry's false narrative. This could create intense and interesting plot points in the fanfic.
Hermione would most likely be one of his top allies. She's smart and well - read in wizarding law, so she could help Harry build his case. Ron would also be there for moral support and to offer his own unique perspective on things.
Hermione would definitely be one of his top allies. With her intelligence and knowledge of the wizarding laws, she could help Harry in making important decisions regarding Ministry policies. Ron would also be there, providing his loyalty and courage in times of trouble.
One well - known 'Harry Potter Ministry Bashing Fanfiction' is 'The Fall of the Ministry'. It shows how the Ministry's corruption and inefficiency lead to its downfall. Another could be 'Ministry Secrets Exposed' which delves into the dark underbelly of the Ministry's operations.
In the fanfic, Harry might take over the ministry to promote education reform. He could allocate more funds to Hogwarts and other wizarding schools. He may introduce new subjects like advanced Muggle studies to help wizards better understand the non - magical world. Also, he could create scholarship programs for students from underprivileged backgrounds.
There could be a group of dark wizards who are secretly operating within the Ministry itself. They oppose Harry's alliance with the Ministry because they fear that Harry will expose their illegal and immoral activities, like illegal potion - making or dark - magic experiments.
