ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER GALLEON
Chapter One
`Mind Thought`
Hermione filed another report, and then another and then some more, turns out working for the Department of International Magical Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic wasn't actually about working towards International Magical Cooperation at all…
Day in and day out all she did was flick her wand and file another piece of parchment, Hermione now aged 22, could say she wasn't living life to her full potential, and did that bother her?
NO
Why you ask? Well after the war it was nice to sink into a normal and predictable life, losing everything she did, so many people both muggle and Magic, friends and enemies, family and what could have been…
So why not take advantage of a slow paced life, most people won't ever experience what she has lived through in their life, let alone the first 17 years of your life! I suppose everyone thought they would live like there is no tomorrow, do what we couldn't do in a time of war. But reality hit quickly, there was a lot of rebuilding, court trails and missing bodies with untold stories everywhere.
He who must not be named, You know who, the Dark lord or Voldemort, whatever you called him, he is gone, but the devastation hangs around like a black plague, to find happiness and normality after this, was difficult. Things were just left hanging for a time, people went into hiding, and others lived in solitude. To say the grass grew greener and flowers bloomed again would be one hell of an understatement.
The boy who live, Harry, my best friend, I'm happy for him, married with three kids and a home, he seems to have settled and just looks forward, Ginny is great for him, she is full of life and wit. Ron on the other hand, will always be Ron, but he found fame, long story short, alcohol and women. Yeah, we didn't last long, sex is his way of expressing that life is too short, and we haven't spoken in over two years now.
I have my little office, with my little home, and really I find this okay, I'm sure things will pick up soon, maybe I'll meet Mr right, maybe not… anyway at least I can still do research in my down time, that's one thing that won't ever change! My drive for more knowledge, just because I'm not active in life doesn't mean my mind is dull, I should probably balance it out more, something about jack being a dull boy right?
Time to go, back to my little home,
ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER GALLEON
