Hermione's third day back at the Ministry following her long absence was just as quiet as the previous two days. While she wasn't entirely sure what she expected when she just dropped in Monday morning on her former colleagues with no warning, it was almost eerie how seemingly normal it all was. Once she made it clear to Rabastan that she wasn't interested in resuming their unconventional partnership, he'd basically left her alone to discover what all had been done since she left. Mountains of rolled parchments and case files littered the top of her desk. Thanks to the Leaky Cauldron explosion, their department had been very busy.
