"Mr. Nichols," the woman next to President Symons spoke up, "even if Hermione were to go to school in the U.S., she would be at a boarding school - it’s standard practice for developing a student’s magical control.  I understand it’s a difficult thought, but I know the teaching staff at Hogwarts.  They are trustworthy and it would be a secure location for her."  Her name was Headmistress Ilbert, though Hermione wasn’t sure if that was her first or last name.  The woman was older and had long, straight white hair and a kind smile.
