      Hermione did, and somewhere in the lore she abolished it when she became minister “greatly improving life for…” is how its phrased.

        she abolished it when she became minister

        Do you have a source for this? I can’t find any mention of her abolishing any of her previous policy changes.

        Prior to being elected minister, she did work for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures:

        After leaving Hogwarts, Hermione Granger spent some years working in this Department, “where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk”

          After reading a ton of the wiki page, it appears I have misremembered.

          I think I took “greatly improving life” to mean no longer slave, because otherwise we’re just being lied to.
