The Great Hall was alive with the chatter of various students catching up on each other's holidays, while the Professors watched on from the high table, occasionally engaging in their own conversations. They were, for the most part, smiling happily as they watched everyone.

"It's great to be back at school… I was getting so bored of sleeping in and enjoying life."

"Hermione?"
"Yes, Harry?"
"Are you sure you're alright?"
Hermione just grinned at them, and proceeded to launch into an explanation of things she had thought to study over the holidays.
