Chapter 1: Graduation

"Hermione Anne Granger,"

Her name was called, her heart jumped to her throat. She was graduateing from Hogwarts with highest marks in her class. She walked across the plat forms of the stage that had been set up. She grabbed from the elderly hands of Proffessor Dumbeldore, her Certificate of completion and her blessing to the wizarding world.

After all names were called, Hermione went up to the podium to give her Class recognition speech.

"Hogworts Class of 1997... I congradulate you in your accomplishments here at Hogworts. I only hope that you will make what you can of yourselves in the wizarding world as you made a reputation of yourselves here. There are only three ways we can go in this world of ours, in our society," she looked around at her fellow students as she continued. " We can go to The Ministry, we can be a nobody..." a platinum blood head captured her attention in the middle of the front row, his eyes peircing hers. "... or Azkaban."

"Many of you are going to the place of which we really must go, The Ministery. And I only lave you with my blessings of a promising future and lovely years in protecting our own fates in this war we all struggle to survive."

She stepped back from the podium and the crowd of students bursted with applause. She smiled and took her seat next to her two friends and awaited thier dissmissal.

They were free to go and there was a gathering going on in the Great Hall where students of all houses can say goodbye to one another. Hermione walked in and seen Harry talking to Cho Chang and saying goodbye.

"'Mione!" Ron caught her arm and whirled her around.

"I'm just curious but where are you going after Hogworts?" Harry came up from behind agreeing with the same question.

"Well boys, I'm off to be a Lawyer slash Auror,"

"Can you do that?" asked Harry,

"Well I can, the Minister of Magic has looked over my marks and knows that I am capable of the most awesome of challenges so he offerd to give the dual job of Auror and Layer,"

"Wow," they both said in unison,

"Well Granger, I only hope that in time I don't have to work with you as I am going into the same work as that of yourself," Malfoy pushed his way through Harry and Ron.

"As what? a Auror?" said Ron in discust,

"No, a Lawyer."

"That's right, you can't catch your own self and turn your own Death Eating ass in," said Ron with a smirk on his face.

Malfoy made a jump at him but Hermione got in the way, "Boys come on there's no use, it's a dead end battle... on both ends. We don't need more than one war in the world."

Hermione was right and there was no time so, they all gathered their thing and headed for the carridges.

The Trio climbed into their carridge and they headed off to the station.

"Ron? Must you always bring things up?" asked Hermione. "Well he butted into our coversaion, instead of being the nosy git he is he could have saved a fight."

"Well, save it for work," There was a small silence when Hermione suddenly giggled," What's up Hermione?"

"It's just so awkward that we are offically independant Wizards and Witches, and off on our own to make a living in the ministry.. as new aurors!" They all smiled. It is something they have been waiting for since third year, to work together... in the war."

"Let the start of Indepenance of adults BEGIN!!" exclaimed Ron, "And thank the fact I even have the job..." They each laughed and leaped onto the train. Their heads popped out of the back of a cart and they all screamed in unison, "GOODBYE HAGRID!!!!"

The half giant turned around and smiled his great smile, "I'll see ya all in the summar!" With that, the train departed and they left with all their memories of the place they once called their own. Hogwarts.
