The meeting room in St Mungo’s Magipathology Unit was an extraordinarily drab place, but it didn’t matter to her.
“Congratulations, Hermione!” her external examiner said. “I’ve had some nightmare theses recently; it was nice to read this one.”
“Thank you,” she replied. “I would say it was nice to write, but that would be stretching the truth somewhat.”
“What next?” Augustus Pye enquired.
“Dublin have offered me a contract, actually.”
“Dublin? I didn’t even know they were advertising.”
She shifted in her chair. “Severus heard about it at the Berlin conference.”
Augustus chuckled wryly. “The information Niffler strikes gold again.”
He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
“Good news, I take it?”
She grinned.
“Augustus, Duncan.” He nodded to her examiners. “Are you joining us for the usual post-match dinner?”
“Afraid not,” the Healer said regretfully. “My shift starts in ten minutes.”
“My Portkey leaves at six,” Duncan Dewberry added. “I’ll have to dash as it is.”
He raised his eyebrows. “What unfortunate timing! We must catch up soon, though.”
They shook hands before departing.
“So… It’s just us two,” she said.
“Are you hungry?”
Her eyes gleamed. “In a manner of speaking.”
The discussion was over.
Note: After a research-based postgraduate course, you usually have to defend your thesis in some way. Hermione has done it in the English fashion - with one internally and one externally appointed examiner. I couldn't face writing the end of a public defence in ~50 words!
