Turning away from him, Hermione took a moment to take in her new surroundings. The Headmaster’s office had changed greatly since the last time she had visited it, which granted had been quite some time ago as she hadn’t made a habit of visiting too often. Portraits of the previous headmasters hung high up on the walls, the only change there being the addition of the bearded old man she had thought so wise and invincible for many years. She couldn't bring herself to look at him too long, hating the way he stared down at her, the usual twinkle in his eyes replaced by pity.
