Hermione

Inspiration: "Come On, Come Out"

Time moves too fast; she has too much to do.

The laundry on the line is ready to take in. Ron will be home soon, so she should get dinner on.

There are bills to pay and reports to read before Monday morning.

She should get up—there's no time for laying around—but she stays where she is, on a blanket under their old oak. Hugo makes motor noises as he runs his toy cars up her legs; Rosie chatters, deep in her make-believe games.

For now, Hermione plays with her children and tries to make time slow down.

Stopping the time
Rushing, waiting
Leave it behind
Shifting and shaping
Keep it inside
It all goes it all goes it all goes by

Come On, Come Out
A Fine Frenzy
