1A/N: HAHA the crazy woman is back! I bet you all thought I had forgotten about my stories. Well NO I was just quite busy with school, and my new friend from camp. ;) Anyway I hope your waiting pays off as you read this chapter.

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter then would I really need college?

Hermione awoke to the alarm sounding at 5 am. She stepped out of bed throwing on her robe toward the shower. Ron was not set to get up until another hour, so she took liberty on the bathroom first. Not wanting to wake Ron she didn't play her usual shower tunes. After her shower she threw back on her robe, and went to fix her hair and make-up. Ron always told her she never needed make-up, but she felt it adds to her features.

Hearing the alarm go off on Ron's side of the bed she knew it was now 6. Hurrying out she witnessed Ron stumbling out of bed, and gave him a quick kiss as he made his way to the shower. She knew Ron would need a hot shower before he would be his normal self. Pulling on her favorite set of robes she made her way to the night stand on her side of the bed. Out of a case she pulled her wand, and with a flick the bed stated to make itself.

Right as she left the room she heard the shower turn off, and saw the clock read 6:15. She glided down the stairs to start up breakfast. The coffee automatically poured her a cup, and with a wave of her wand she started up eggs and sausage. Ron came down at exactly 6:30, and sat down across from Hermione, but not without a kiss on the forehead. "Morning dear, have a nice sleep?" Ron asked cutting into his sausage with a fork.

"It was all right considering how excited I am about today," she said taking a bite of eggs.

"Well, I'm glad, because I have been looking forward to you working with me at the ministry." Hermione smiled at the remark, and finished eating in silence. The clock now read 6:50, and with only 5 minutes before they had to leave Hermione became a little nervous. She gave a quick wave of her wand to signal for the dishes to start cleaning. "Honey don't worry you will do fine. You were the smartest witch in our class at Hogwarts. They wouldn't have picked you if they weren't sure you could do it," Ron said noticing that Hermione was nervous, and gave her a quick kiss.

After Ron's speech Hermione saw it was time to leave. "Time to go," Ron said taking her hand.

"Okay, I'm ready," she said taking a deep breathe. With great concentration they both apparated and appeared in front of the large gold fountain that Hermione had only seen in real life once before. She went towards the gate where a large man checked her wand, and gave her a badge that read: Hermione Granger Committee on Experimental Charms.

Still holding on to Ron's hand they made their way to the elevator. They had apparated to level 9, and both had to go down. As the elevator made it's way down it of course had to stop at each floor to let flying notes on and off. Finally, it stopped at the 5th floor and as the doors opened a man was waiting for Hermione outside the door. Hermione gave Ron a quick kiss and walked out. The man saw her badge, and came up to her.

"Hello, I am Gilbert Wimple head of the Committee on Experimental Charms," he said holding out his hand.

"Hello, I am Hermione Granger," she answered quickly a little nervous on her first day at a magical job.

"I am here to show you your office, and to explain a bit about what we do, so follow me," the man said quickly seeming as if he had done this a million times. They walked on a bit before he said any more. They came upon the first large room, and there seemed to be many people of different origins here. "This is the International Magical Trading Standards Body, and next up is the International office of Law," he stated quickly, but all she really cared about was where she would be working. They passed by one more large room that he explained to be the International Confederation of Wizards.

"This room is ours," he said with a smile. "Welcome to the Committee on Experimental Charms," he said pointing her into the room. "In here we think up many questions that show up on the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams in every wizarding school. At the end of May each year we pick a few of our members to go administer the oral parts of the exams to the students at Hogwarts." Hermione was ready for this job already, and as they walked she suddenly found a cubicle that read her name on the outside. Mr. Wimple stopped in front of it and motioned her in. "Now I am sure you have already noticed that if you need to write anyone a note then you can just send it up through flight. I am sure you may need to send your husband from the elevator comments every once in a while." Hermione just smiled and let Mr. Wimple walk away.

She and Ron were not married, but she couldn't help liking the fact that he had just called him her husband. Putting the happy thoughts to the back of her mind she read her first assignment for the day, and got started. Her job seemed to be to answer some of the questions that people had already made up, and be sure that they made sense and could be answered by the level they were being sent to. Around her were stacks of 5th and 7th year books from many countries. Did they really make questions for all the schools in the world?

She sent out a note to Mr. Wimple asking him so, and he answered her. On the memo he wrote: We do make the questions for other countries, but we write them out in English first and they are translated by workers fluent in the language that the question is going to. As soon as she finished reading the note about 30 memos came at her and landed on her desk. They were all from different people holding questions that she needed to look at. Every memo wanted to be filled out first, but when she pulled out her wand to stop them they all set down and she opened one at a time. It felt like she was back at hogwarts getting to answer these questions all day. She was very surprised by how many answers she still knew after two years of being gone. Only about 3 or 4 stumped her enough that she had to consult one of the books, but of course she had quit Divinations so she had to look up all the answers for those questions.

She got one lunch break at noon, but then it was right back to work until 5. Having so much to do her work day went by rather quickly. As she found the clock to read 5 she got up and made her way to the elevator, and was happy to find Ron. They went back to ninth floor and checked out. Holding hands they apparated home, and found that dinner was already cooked.

They ate dinner quickly with slight conversation about their day, but Ron wanted to know more about Hermione's first day then anything else. Every time they went silent Hermione couldn't help remembering the comment Mr. Wimple made about Ron being her husband, but she didn't feel right about saying anything to Ron yet for fear of scaring him too much. But would she ever be ready to talk to Ron about marriage? After all he had always made the first move on everything: asking her out, and moving in with him.

Hermione decided to forget about it for the night when Ron led her up to the bedroom in order to cuddle on the bed a bit, and of course there was a bit of kissing thrown in as well. She fell asleep in Ron's arms with dreams of what their wedding would be like if it were to happen.

A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter I will do my best to put up a new one a day until Friday when I have graduation. Please review and let me know how you think this is going.
