Hermione Granger looked out of the window. It was starting to get cold now, she shivered a little and hugged her cardigan more tightly.
She looked around the trees as the cold breeze graced her face, she closed her eyes and instantly relaxed.
It had been an exhausting day buying all the stuff she needed. She was thankful of the money she was awarded by the Ministry of Magic, she did not want to be a burden on the Weasley's.
She was awarded Order of Merlin first class as an honour for her services to defeat Voldemort.
She however missed her parents so much. She had found them but the obliviators of the ministry told her that she had put a strong memory charm on her parents and reversing that could cause permanent damage.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had happily taken her in but she could not help the tears that now streamed down her face. She missed them.
She opened her eyes and looked across the street. She could see the lights in Draco's house switched on and she could make out him moving about.
He had asked for forgiveness how could she forgive ? It was because of him Lupin, Tonks, Sirius, Percy, Dumbledore and Snape and many more were dead.
It was because of him she had lost her parents, it was because of him she had to endure so much at Hogwarts due to his comments and petty plots. Angry tears streamed down her face.
It was not because of him all this happened the voice from the back of the mind reminded her. He is genuinely guilty and trying to change. The small voice continued.
She shook her head it was so easy blaming Draco Malfoy but she knew he had been truthful to her today.
She got rid of her tears and started writing a letter to Ginny who was at Hogwarts. She had been a great help and someone infront of whom she could spill out everything even those things that she couldn't say to Harry and Ron.
It was the same for Ginny, she had found herself a sister in Hermione with whom she could be everything. She finished the letter and went down.
"Hey Ron can I borrow Pig?" asked Hermione.
"You don't have to ask Mione" said Ron.
She tied her letter to the overexcited owl with Ron's help and took him to the window after which she went inside to help Mrs. Weasley wind up.
One look at Hermione and Mrs. Weasley knew she had cried. She gave her a big warm hug whispering soothing words in her ears while Hermione let go of her feelings.
Mrs. Weasley rubbed her tears and told her to sit out as she had it all covered and that she was making hot chocolate.
Hermione went outside in the hall where Harry and Ron sat. They half heard what went in the kitchen and were trying to cheer her up when the twins joined them too. And 15 minutes later Hermione was laughing at their jokes.
"So did you get all your books?" Harry asked sitting with his broomstick servicing kit and Firebolt.
"Yes" said Hermione getting her packages and showing it to Ron and Harry excitedly.
They couldn't accompany her as they still had another practical test for their Auror training, both got selected obviously with all they have faced.
Kingsley had already offered them positions but they wanted to go the classic way and train first properly.
"I think they gave you two pieces of the same book" Said Ron examining Advanced Potions for Magical spell damage by Peter Rowalsky.
"Thats not possible I checked. Oh it must be Draco's, he was holding some of my stuff and might have mistakenly given me one of his bags."
