CHAPTER 2 Hermione had just finished packing her things when Harry's letter came. His letter said that he was very glad that she was doing something for herself. He said she deserved a break. But Ron's letter never came. She waited for two days for his reply but when it didn't come on the second day she gave up her wait and decided to go anyway.
She had talked to the muggle travel agents a few days back and they gave her a fantastic idea. She could travel the world on a ship. It would take a fair amount of time but it meant she would have plenty of time to think ang figure out what she wanted to do actually. So she took her luggage and went to the dockyard where the ship was stationed which she was supposed to board. When she looked at the big ship, she couldn't help but smile. This was going to be a relaxing holiday, she thought. A long break from the nagging reporters from Daily Prophet, the innumerous owls scratching and clawing her window everyday with letters from the Ministry of Magic, the questioning eyes of her friends and all near and dear ones, she would be completely disconnected from the Wizarding World. The best part was that even though everyone knew she was taking a break but nobody actually knew where she was going. It meant that nobody would be contact her unless she wanted to. Yes. Atleast she was going away.
