Hermione and OPEN Who: Hermione and open What: Hermione has gone exploring in the rain. Where: Starbucks When: Sunday morning Warnings: should be low
Hermione needed normalcy in her life, even if her town didn't have Starbucks, something her psychiatrist liked to bug her about. So, coffee at Starbucks seemed a good fit. She had to start at school, and because of her age, she'd have to repeat senior year.
A problem with being here and not home? She had no idea if time had stopped or if it was continuing. If it was, would there be a trial? God, Hermione knew what she'd signed up for, but that didn't make the dread any less. Nothing she could do about it here, though, so she focused on what she wanted to order.
When she got to the front, she ordered a muffin and a venti dark roast with room for milk. As she waited, she noticed there was only one free seat. She walked over and asked the person at the table, "Is it okay with you if I sit here?"
