Back at Hogwarts for the day, Hermiones low heels clicked along the stone as she walked through the empty hallways. Being at Hogwarts without the students always made her a little sad, despite appearances, she loved the students and cared about each and every one. She smiled to herself as she imagined what they would say if any of them knew.
Sighing she ran her hands through her hair and shook it out from it's habitual tie-back. The castle was cool enough and she wanted it to dry. Her hair was still thick enough that if she showered and pulled it up, it would never dry before bed time and for once she was grateful for the dark castle.
With a keen eye she examined the walls for any mold or mildew that often happened in castles during the summer as condensation clung to cool stone. Satisfied she smiled and mentally began reviewing what she had to do for the day. Heading directly to the school library, she was looking forward to some quiet time with the books.
Smiling as she entered she took in the familiar mahogany tables and bookshelves, the tall windows that let in the sunlight and the walls and walls of books. She pulled the ones she was looking for and sat down to get to business. Her quick quill began furiously scratching the paper as she studied for her next Order of Merlin level.
