It's been weeks since we survived the war. After Harry killed voldemort we attended funerals and grieve for all the people we lost, now that everything is settling down, we started rebuilding the castle.
Harry and Ginny are back together, ron and I decided not to continue our relationship for we realized that we'll not last, so he pursued my very good friend Luna Lovegood. Everyone is happy except me, I'm becoming third wheel whenever I'm with either of them so I decided to extract myself so here I am sitting under a tree near the lake remembering the good old days, the first time I met him on the train, when he rescued me on the troll, staying by his side until the end and many more but the most important is the time we were on the hunt, the dance we shared, for that time I realized I love him.
Suddenly a cool breeze came stepping me out on my own reverie, the wind helped soothing my broken heart, I realized that I will be left alone and my love will not be returned as I control myself from crying I saw them walking hand and hand and thats when I burst and cry my heart out fortunately they didn't saw me they are too busy looking at each other. They've returned to the castle after composing my self I also returned to the castle and head straight to Prof. McGonagall office. I made up my mind.
Professor McGonagall POV
"Professor? Are you busy I wish to speak with you please" Hermione said. "Ms. Granger please come in. What is it you wish to speak with me? Would you like some tea" noticing her appearance she looked liked she isn't sleeping well and something bothering her so she said "By the looks of your face this will take a while". "Professor I'm here to tell you that I'm leaving hogwarts and I don't know if I will be back to finish my studies. she was shocked on what she just heard but after composing herself " Ms. Granger may I ask what brought this on?" "Well since the war is over I wanted to get my parents back." "Is that all?" I inquired.
Hermione's POV
She was shocked her mind is going hundreds of miles but one question is evident on her mind does she know that she liked Harry? She didn't know what to do will she lie to McGonagall or say the truth?
P. McGonagall POV
Seeing the inner struggle of Hermione she spoke "Hermione I know you like him because of how you look at him and I saw you crying a while ago when you saw them. Don't worry I don't plan on telling (unless it's deemed necessary she added on her mind) but going back to what we're talking about, before I let you go I want you to be honest with me and what are your plans? You may be an adult now but that doesn't mean I'll not worry about you" "Sigh" " I'll guess I have to tell." Hermione said in her mind "The truth is I don't know what to do, but one thing is For sure I want to get my parents back but I'm not ready yet and I still need to fix my self." Said hermione sadly then decided to be just honest with her "actually I was planning on staying in the dean forest while I fix and prepare myself once I'm ready I will go to Australia and get my parents. For now I want to get far away from here, far from them, I don't think my heart can take it any more and that's the place I know I will be at peace because no one will suspect that I will be there after everything that happend". She finished sadly.
Mcgonagall was shocked at hermione's revelation but looking at her she knew in her mind that she must not allow her to leave but in her heart she knows that she needs to be alone, with a heavy heart she said " okay I'll let you go but I want you to send me a letter once in a while to know your fine and if there's anything you want just tell I'll try my best to support you"
Hermione's eyes are glistening while looking at McGonagall " thank you professor I'll be leaving first thing in the morning. Thank you again for understanding" with that she stand and head to the door when she was about to close the door " in case for your studies if you still want to pursue them and we're finished in rebuilding the castle by that time just let me know I might pull up some strings for you" said McGonagall, Hermione just smiled.
After her talk with the professor she is now going to the Gryfindor common room and when she gets there she pludge herself on the couch that is near the fire she is emotionally exhausted and it wouldn't hurt to take a nap because after her nap she have to pack her things
