i just have SO MANY FEELINGS about like
a company where a slytherin in payroll is making the decision to pay disabled workers subminimum wage and squib workers minimum wage, while Real Witches and Wizards who work there get a living wage, because it’s cost effective and business is business. and a ravenclaw in HR who makes the decision to segregate them For Their Own Good. and the gryffindor spokesperson is like ISN’T THIS A WONDERFUL THING WE ARE DOING, GIVING THEM WORK. and the hufflepuff lawmaker who says yes, the Value is in the Work, this is an equitable thing.
and how it’s a cognitively disabled hufflepuff worker who says no fucking way this isn’t fair. and a gryffindor who says lets fucking do something about it. and a ravenclaw who says ok cool, but we need a strategy. and a slytherin who says well, this is what they value, this is their weakness.
how it’s a hufflepuff squib who sits through the meetings and says, this is wrong, over and over, patient and polite and unmoving. how it’s a gryffindor labelled with an intellectual disability, who’s slytherin I/DD friends got them out, who grits their teeth and tells their story over and over and over again. how it’s a physically disabled ravenclaw lawyer who sits in the courtroom and argues the legal minutia while their slytherin co-counsel hits all the emotionally salient points with devastating precision. how it’s a gryffindor leading the protest and a hufflepuff doing the logistics. how it’s a ravenclaw writing to the prophet making the arguments for inclusion being good economic practice.
and how there are people from every house on every side with every d&d alignment doing every kind of work
