This story is considered AU because Snape survives, but I stilled pulled some elements of DH because Fred is still dead (*tear), and Voldemort is still dead (obviously). This is my second fanfiction ever, I hope you enjoy! Please don't forget to leave me a review...they stave my hunger, and since I'm a poor college kid I need all I can get.

The hour was late when Hermione was finally finished for the day. Working at the ministry was not where she had seen herself nearly five years after the fall of Voldemort; although she hadn’t really known where she would end up for that matter. Even though she hadn’t pictured herself working under the large corporation, she wouldn’t really rather be anywhere else.

After the Defeat, the three of them had been offered Honorary NEWTs with the understanding that they would not be required to return to Hogwarts. Hermione knew there could never be a replacement for a real education, and so it was no question that she decided to return to school.

Harry, for a lack of where or what to do now that he had ‘served his purpose’ returned with her as well, and Ron simply couldn’t imagine being without them. So together the golden trio, along with other various classmates including Neville, Seamus, Luna, Dean Thomas, and the Patil twins to name a few, had returned to Hogwarts to finish out their education.

Immediately after graduation, the three of them had been approached by the ministry with potential job offers. Harry and Ron of course were offered positions in the Department of Magical Offense and Protection as Aurors, which they accepted with grace and begun their training immediately.

Hermione, who had received the highest marks in Hogwarts history in many of the subjects she tested in, found herself in line for a number of elite job offers. The only subjects she did not receive top marks included Divination which she chose not to take, Defense Against the Dark Arts which Harry took of the honor of, Potions which Snape had claimed back in his days at Hogwarts, and Transfiguration at which Dumbledore still remained.

Having mastered numerous other subjects, some of the job offers she received included Head of the Department of Ancient Runes and Artifacts Research, Department of Magical History Researcher, and Head of the Licensing Department for Magical Transportation. However, the one that interested her the most was the Department of Spell History, Research, and Origin.

This job required her to break down magic to understand it at its most basic level. This included understanding theory on wand movement, spell incantation, and also mediums at which magic was released including wands, artifacts, potions, and wandless magic. Her researched included reversing accidental spells that had been unintentionally created, understanding current spells limitations and how they worked, and also in her spare time researching basic magic to create new spells.

Her job sometimes required travel to other countries to research magical methods employed there, and also warranted many trips to various libraries around the world. However, some days like today were spent at her desk in the ministry pushing paperwork, which she was very glad to be done with for the day. In fact, as she stood up and grabbed her wand as she prepared to leave, she remembered it was Friday and that she had the weekend ahead of her.

On her usual weekend Hermione would spend her time either at home in her cozy three bedroom flat which was located just outside of Hogsmede, or visit with friends which most frequently took place at the burrow. However, this weekend had been marked on her calendar all year for the annual celebration ball.

Every year since Harry had triumphed, they held an annual celebration ball in honor of all those who had fought in the war. Being a member of the golden trio made her an automatic guest of honor, and also mandated that she attend. The ball was held in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, since the castle was generally unoccupied save for the teachers during the summer. The ball was usually the regular celebration of food and dancing, however at the request of Harry a special tradition had been started.

Each attendee was to pick a name of someone that they chose to honor and write their name on a miniature paper lantern. These lanterns would then be lit and enchanted to find that person. If they were alive that lantern would drift in their direction until it found their person. If the person had died in battle or as a cause of the war, then it was believed the lantern would find their soul and remind them that they were still honored by those who lived.

The first year Harry had chosen his parents, Ron had chosen Fred, and Hermione had chosen Dumbledore. However, one stipulation to the ceremony was that each year you had to honor someone different. In this sense, Harry had said that no matter how much difficulty and hardship Voldemort had put them through, no one would even be forgotten.

Hermione stood up from her desk, ready to leave.

“Have a good evening Susan, I’ll see you tomorrow at the celebration.”

Susan Bones, who had taken a surprising interest in Magical Theory, worked under Hermione as one of her researchers. She mainly handled the topic of Incantation Translation and Language History.

“Goodnight Hermione. Don’t forget a date for tomorrow.” Susan winked as Hermione smiled uneasily back at her..

However good Hermione was at everything life seemed to through at her (save for flying), she was still single. The fact didn’t bother her much, but it did cause some worry for Harry and Ron, who were both already married and had a combined total of five kids.

It was without question after the war that Harry belonged with Ginny, and they were wed soon after. She was now pregnant with their second child, and was content to follow in her mother’s footsteps to have even more.

Ron, whom everyone had expected her to wind up with, unexpectedly found love in the form of Luna Lovegood. During their return year to Hogwarts, Hermione and Ron had decided that a relationship just wasn’t in the cards for them, and it was best not to ruin almost an entire decade of friendship over their differences.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in marriage, she had gone on plenty of dates. She just believed in fate and that love wasn’t something you had to hunt down. Love was something that shouldn’t be a question. Love was something that would find you, and when it did it would knock her off her feet.

Hermione made her way past the fountain out of the ministry, and over to the network of Floos. With the thought on her mind that she still had to pick a name for her lantern before tomorrow night, she grabbed a pinch of Floo powder, threw it into the grate, and disappeared with a whirl of soot, the last sound of her voice drowned out as the flames spun around her to send her home.
