Hermione knew straight away that she would return to Hogwarts to complete her final year. How could she not? All these years she’d worked her hardest and besides, once she’d started something she always saw it through to the end. It wasn’t a great surprise to her that Ron and Harry hadn’t wanted to return. They didn’t talk too much about the reasons why, it was obvious Hogwarts was no longer the happiest of places for any of them but still she couldn’t help but feel sad that she’d be returning without her best friends.
