Hermione gets ready for school.

Notes: I imagine some of these might be extremely short so I can get through it all! I don't know if i'll mange to complete this challenge, but it'd be nice!


Hermione looked over her list for her next year-her last year-of Hogwarts.

She would be back to school in another week-and she needed to be prepared.

'Am I doing the right thing?' floated through her head for the hundredth time.

She had gone back and forth on whether she should be going back to school. She didn't like the thought that she could have missed anything really valuable at school, she really wanted to complete her education. But there were still death eaters that needed rounding up. Ron, Harry, and even Neville had declined returning so that they could pursue those death eaters (and avoid more tests Ron had practically shouted with delight).

Should she be going to school? Shouldn't she be helping to stop them? Or even just spending time with her parents?

Hermione closed her eyes, and took in a calm breath.

'It's alright...it's alright. You don't want to be an Auror. You want to finish school. There's no shame in doing something you want,' Hermione reminded herself. A blush tinted her cheeks as she remembered they weren't really her words but Ron's. Maybe she had them worded a little more eloquently in her head, but it was still Ron who had encouraged her to choose the path she thought was best for herself.

She smiled, consoling herself that she was doing the right thing, and once again double checked her list for her last year of school.
