Go to Azkaban and round up a few hundred dementors.

Harry would never use dementors as his army.

Bringing Hermione under the aegis of a noble house

Adoption or marriage

Problem one, Dumbledore is Harry's legal guardian and would need to approve such acts. Problem two, there is then a blood debt from House Potter to House Malfoy, so maybe Harry has his wand snapped instead of Hermione, and how is that any better?

Before the Heaven's Feel arc, you mean.

Can somebody dereference "Heaven's Feel arc" for those of us who aren't familiar with it?

Fate/Stay Night comes up in MoR as the franchise whose Fuyuki City trips up Quirrel in the interrogation*; the 'Heaven's Feel' route is one possible plot in the FSN franchise. Plot summary, ref is probably to evil-Sakura's 'army of shadows', which matches up well with Dementors.

* I looked it up, and Quirrel's visit there in 1983 or whatever would have coincided with the birth of a few minor characters but nothing else important in the FSN universe, as far as I could tell.
