Hermione and Cecile, the innkeeper's daughter, had hit it off the moment she'd arrived and she'd assisted her every morning since the very first day. During the day, they walked the village together, collecting items for dinner and running errands for Cecile's mother. Hermione found it was a simple way to spend her day, the routine relaxing her and for the first time since the war she felt a sort of peace settle over her. And after dinner, Hermione would excuse herself from Cecile's company and remove herself to her room to study whatever materials she'd found. Once every two weeks she apparated into the French wizarding quarter near Paris and searched for books on time travel, ley lines, and other natural phenomena.
