Hermione thought life would slow after the war, but it seemed like everything and everyone was moving around her at a rapid pace as she was left standing still. Kingsley, now acting as interim Minister, offered herself, Ron, and Harry admission to the Auror Program, and the boys readily accepted, but she declined, stating that her time hunting down evil wizards had come to an end. She also had an offer from McGonagall to go back to Hogwarts after the reconstruction was finished to complete her missing 7th year as Head Girl. But even that option had lost its appeal, thoughts of returning to the castle made her stomach churn, and she didn't fancy the responsibility that came with being Head Girl. At the end of the day, she wasn’t sure what she wanted, but Remus and Sirius both had encouraged her not to rush into any decisions, and she was taking their advice.
