Hermione’s week had gone from bad to worse. Lavender’s owl on Monday had been completely unnecessary as she’d passed half a dozen people reading Witch Weekly - with her face plastered across the cover - as she walked through the lobby of the Ministry. And one of her coworkers had thoughtfully left a copy of the magazine on her desk. She quickly skimmed it and discovered it was one lie after another. However, Madame Toadvine didn’t care.
After talk about her was still buzzing around the Ministry for the third day in a row, her supervisor had called her into her office and expressed her disappointment over this ‘unfortunate incident’. Then she’d told Hermione to work from home until further notice. Hermione had tried to reason with her, pointing out that she worked in the Department of Mysteries and random Ministry personnel couldn’t come to gawk at her. “Exactly,” had been Madame Toadvine’s response before ordering her home.
She’d spent the last two days working in the library at Grimmauld Place. When she wasn’t working on things for the Department of Mysteries she was making lists. Today she’d come to an inescapable conclusion.
