Not long to go, I thought as I was walking across the stage at my year 7 graduation. Who would have thought Hermione Granger wanted to graduate school so anxiously? Everyone thought it would be a mission to drag her away from the school library judging from the way she treated it like it was her home away from the dorms. But they didn't know what she was waiting for. Not even Harry or Ron, though they did try to guess why she was in such a giddy mood - I mean who would want to spend the next part of life working on a potions experient with Snape?
Gosh Hermione stop thinking for just one moment! I thought again.
"Hermione Granger, graduating with 10 Outstandings. We will be seeing her around in future due to her new project she is due to start with Professor Snape come next year, we wish her all the best" said Dumbledore with the crowd cheering, who had faked his death with Snape prior to Voldemorts downfall.
The end of the ceremony flew by as Hermione reminisced the years that had passed- moments with Harry and Ron, talks with Ginny, watching Fred and George joke around (not that she would admit she enjoyed it!).
"so Hermione dear", said Mrs Weasley and she hugged her, "will we be seeing you at the burrow before you start your project?, we have Ginny's room set up for you"
"oh no sorry Mrs Weasley, I might drop in a few times as you would know I would, but I have other plans this summer".
"what plans?" said Ron and Harry frowning.
"with me, Potter and Weasley", said Severus Snape joining the group gathered around Hermione, reaching down to take Hermione's hand and kissing her cheek."congratulations Love" he continued turning her away from the group and out to the apparition point with Hermione waving goodbye to the gobsmacked crowd watching.
"Let's go home Severus".
