This is the part Hermione hates the most. Her stomach sinks as people start to recognize her, as necks crane to look, as people point her out. Her post-war fame had been unexpected, and completely unwelcome. At least with Harry and Ron, some of the heat was off her. But without them, she’s on her own. It’s worse outside of Hogwarts, too, where people aren’t used to her presence, when familiarity hasn’t taken the shine off her. In public she’s "Hermione Granger: War Heroine’ and she hates it. If she could erase her name from public memory, she would.
