Guilt Trip
Hermione felt guilty. She felt guilty for abandoning her child. She felt guilty for keeping Charlotte from friends so long. And she felt guilty from not concentrating as much as she should on her new job but then she felt guilty for half-hoping she would get fired after today so she could spend more time with Charlotte.
Hermione was glad she had shorter hours for her first two weeks in the position. She hurried back to Molly's house, more eager to see Charlotte than she knew Charlotte would be to see her.
What if she didn't want to come home?
