Physician, Heal Thyself
Hermione Granger was no stranger to solitude; in fact, many times it was the balm to heal her soul and calm her thoughts. After the demands of the war, Hermione decided a life outside of the spotlight was exactly what the doctor ordered. She could be one of the Golden Trio, constantly in the public eye and, therefore, constantly criticized for anything that was less than perfect in the new world. Or, perhaps, she could quietly slip away, finish her education, and slowly but surely make a real difference in the world. Hermione opted for the latter.
After finishing her last year of Hogwarts through correspondence, and rushing through a 6 year university program in just 4 years, Hermione returned from America, with a PhD in Psychology and an MMM, Masters of Magical Medicine.
This was how she would help the world heal. However, Hermione had the nagging feeling in the back of her mind that it was much easier to give advice than it was to follow it oneself. While Hermione set about the daunting task of combining magical solutions with muggle psycho-therapy, she hoped a tiny bit of her knowledge would actually rub off on her.
