Hermione and Rolf Scamander had met a little over a year ago while she was on assignment in Wales negotiating with a herd of centaurs over the use of their ancestral land.  From the time she had secured a job in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures immediately following her Eighth Year of Hogwarts, she had quickly climbed the ranks.  She had hoped the higher up she got, the more of an impact she would be able to have in securing essential rights that so many creatures had been denied.
