And for Hermione, Ronald Fucking Weasley was certainly a distraction. She was now certain he experienced serious emotional regression. Ron had never been good with feelings or communication to begin with, but his current behavior was downright childish. It had always been common for seventh year students to play pranks or just generally abide in rowdy or rule-breaking behavior. The final year at Hogwarts was one last chance to live life freely before the stress of entering a career or starting a family. And following suit, many of the current eighth years did engage in risky actions like sleeping in each other’s dorms or hiding fire whiskey in their morning tea cups. The young adults of the War had been through the unimaginable and many were left feeling disillusioned. It made sense that some would act out.
