Hermione opened up her school trunk and so the letter from Harry at the top of it. She was debating with herself whether or not she should open it. In the end she did.

Dear Hermione,

I am very sorry for not telling you about be having to sacrifice myself to defeat Lord Voldemort. I knew that if I were to tell you then you would try and talk me out of it. But I knew that it was something that I had to do. Hermione I love you very much and I want you to know that you mean everything to me. I want you to leave Hogwarts and move on with life. Do what you want to do and be who you want to be. Never forget the things that occurred at Hogwarts or the years spent there. Please move on and fall in love again, for me. I want you to be happy and I do not want you giving up on love because of me. Keep your head held high and know where you came from. I love you very much and I always will. Best of luck with life.

Love Always and Forever- Harry

Hermione finished the letter and a single tear rolled down her cheek. She missed Harry very much and hasn't moved on in life since he died. He was everything to her and she couldn't find the strength needed for her to move on. Hermione then rose, put the letter from Harry in her pocket and continued down Diagon Alley. She was on her way to apply for a job at the Daily Promphet. She opened the door to the building.

"Hello, I'm Hermione Granger, I believe that I have an appointment to meet with the editor today," Hermione said kindly to the secretary.

"Hermione?!" said the very familiar looking read head as she looked up at Hermione.

"Yes, Hermione Granger, do I know you?" Hermione asked polity. For it was not her fault that she did not remember every ones face. Although for some odd reason she felt like she should have remembered this specific person. Then it hit her, "Ginny!?! Ginny Weasley?" yelled Hermione as she embraced Ginny

"Ginny Thomas," said Ginny as she showed Hermione the ring on her ring finger.

"You married Dean Thomas?!" asked Hermione excitedly. She remember Dean from her years at Hogwarts his was in her class, a fellow Gryffindor.

"Yes, I surely did. Hermione, how are you? You disappeared after your graduation." asked Ginny synthetically looking at Hermione.

"Well I…. err.. needed a break from the wizarding world. It wasn't until recently that I realized how much I missed it. " Replied Hermione.

"Well you were surely missed and we were all so worried about you." said Ginny as she hugged Hermione once again and began to cry. Hermione had always acted as a older sister to Ginny. She did in deed miss Hermione very much.

"I would love to hear how things are and how life has been these past ten years for you, but I really do after to make my appointment with the editor." said Hermione to Ginny as she pulled away, "But I would love to have a drink with you later tonight, perhaps at The Leaky Caldron?" asked Hermione

"Of course, I'll meet you there around eight?" replied Ginny, "Well you better get upstairs, good luck!" said Ginny as she pointed the way to go for Hermione.

Hermione walked upstairs and walked past some doors. On some of the doors read names of people she remember from school. Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Katie Bell, Lee Jordan, and Colin Creevey. Hermione then arrived at the editors door and was in shock when she saw the name that the door had on it, Draco Malfoy. She thought about just turning around right then and there. Malfoy would definitely not give her the job. But Hermione was not the time of person to give up on things. So she preceded to knock.

"Come in," replied a deep and kind voice on the other side of the door.

When Hermione opened the door she was even more shocked. She saw a very relaxed Draco Malfoy. He had his feet up on the desk and was revising tomorrows edition of the paper.

"Name?" asked Malfoy with out even looking up.

"Hermione Granger," she replied very quietly.

Malfoy then looked up and fell back in his chair. Hermione rushed to his side and helped him up.
