Going Back To Work
Going back to work turned out to be much easier than she had thought it would be. Perhaps it was because it had always been something she truly loved doing – and coincidentally something Ron had never been able to understand.
Thus there were no real fond memories with him there, and it made coming back easier.
She had taken a week off to be with him – to celebrate their five years anniversary – and in the end she had ended up spending that time alone, cursing his name.
But coming back to her small office in the Department of Mysteries, where she had been working for almost as long as she had been dating Ron, made her realize that maybe they simply weren't mean to be.
After all, what did they have in common apart from having been in the same house? They had always been more Harry's friends than friends with each other, and she would be - already was actually - better off without him.
It didn't take her long to resume her latest project from where she had left it and settle back into the easy routine of trying to recreate old spells.
She never even noticed she was smiling as she promised herself to choose someone who could understand her next time.
