Hermione joined the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, turning it completely on it's head and passing every single legislation in her 5 year plan within 3 years. Ron immediately failed Auror training and was delegated to a desk job in the DMLE, devising tactics and attack plans that were enough to keep him in good graces with leadership, even if he was volatile on a good day and a downright nightmare for the more common bad ones to everyone else. Being a part of the Golden Trio couldn't save him from his atrocious reputation at work, and Hermione spent many evenings comforting him even though she truly wanted to tell him it was all his fault.
