Chapter Three
The Gryffindor Three
Hermione was busy working at her desk, when she received an owl from the Minister of Magic, Arthur Weasley, he wanted to meet her as soon as possible. She looked at herself in the mirror and smoothed her no longer bushy hair out of her face.
She had matured a lot since Hogwarts, and had a busy job in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. She enjoyed her job to no end, and had turned down a professor's job at Hogwarts so she could continue her pursuit her goal of one day heading the department.
Hermione was still a slave driver when it came to her work, she put no less than 110 percent into her every endeavour, and her professional life was no different from her former school life.
She kept in touch with her Hogwarts friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley who were both very busy with their own careers. Harry had become the Defence against the Dark Arts Professor after Voldemort's downfall, in the eyes of the magically community there was no one else more qualified for the job. Ron had chosen to go on to his beloved sport of Quidditch, he had been playing the Keeper position for the Chudley Cannons for almost six years now. He loved the attention, especially from his female fans.
Harry recently got engaged to his long time girlfriend Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, and they were furiously planning a Christmas Wedding. Hermione was surprised that they wanted to rush their wedding plans, as it was already July and did not leave them a lot of time left for planning. They were having a lavish wedding at Hogwarts on Christmas Eve, it was going to be the social event of the year, everyone in the magical community was crossing their fingers that they would be receiving an invitation to watch the Boy who Lived, get married to his sweetheart.
Many of Harry's students were disappointed that he was getting married, Harry was devastatingly handsome and had broken the heart of many of his female students when they found out he was marrying their Charms Professor.
Hermione made her way up to the Minister of Magic's office, which was two floors above her own. She was anxious to find out what he wanted, she kept her fingers crossed that she had been selected to take the Head of the Department job that she had been longing for.
Arthur Weasley had been the Minister of Magic for about five years now, he was an extremely popular minister among the community compared to his predecessor, Rufus Scrimgeour. He was waiting patiently for Hermione Granger to arrive at his office. He had always seen her as a second daughter and was delighted with the news that he was about to deliver.
Hermione knocked meekly on the Minister's office door, "Come in," came the soft voice from inside.
"Good morning Minister, what would you like to see me about," she said, smiling broadly at her old friend.
"Well, Ms. Granger, I would like to discuss with you your future here at the Ministry. You have worked long and hard for us for a long time now and I believe that it is time for you to be rewarded," He peeked at Hermione over his glasses and smiled, "the Ministry would like to offer you the position of Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."
Hermione could hardly contain her glee, when she found out that her boss Kingsley Shackletbott was retiring, she had been hoping that she would replace him. She composed herself and Arthur smiled.
"I accept the position Minister with all my heart," Hermione said smiling.
