Hermione opened her mouth to say no, but she closed it again quickly. "There is still so much I want to do,’ she whispered. "I wanted to help the Order defeat Voldemort, I wanted to finish my Apprenticeship and gain my Masters in Arithmancy.

I told him if he could wait until after I had finished school and the war was over, I would think about saying yes.’
