You never realize...

THe work day was just about ending... for most people. But really, for Hermione it was only just beginning. She was done with her normal work in the Ministry, but there was something more important in her mind right now. She was still keen on bringing down the people who had killed Harry and Ginny.

She knew she wasn't going at it alone, but most of what she needed to figure out, she needed to do it alone. Well... in her mind it worked that way. She felt that she was somehow responsible for their deaths. She hadn't been able to help Harry when he really needed it. There was really nothing she could've done, that was something that only he could settle with Voldemort. Everyone else there could help in some way, but int he end it had all been up to Harry.

She sighed softly, getting up from her desk. The air in her office had gotten tense from her own thoughts and she felt as though she couldn't breathe in there. "A bit of fresh air should help..." she muttered to herself before leaving the office.
