"Really, guys. You know you don't have to do this. If you're only doing this for me, well… I don't think it's enough reason," said Hermione.

"Hermione, I think we'd be doing you a favor for not coming along. Us not being there would be two less guys who'll bother you and copy off your homework!" Harry said sincerely. "You've stuck with me through finding the Horcruxes and everything…"

"And besides how are we suppose to find decent jobs without NEWTS?" Ron said with a grin. "And I'd get to be with you…"

Hermione turned pink but couldn't help but smile back at her boyfriend's cheeky remark. She had always set her mind on going back to school after everything had finished. She wanted to finish what she started despite the Ministry positions that Kingsley offered her, Harry and Ron. At first Harry and Ron were elated with the prospect of being offered jobs without completing their education but once they heard what Hermione's decision was they seemed open to it too.

"We'd finally get to have that quiet year in Hogwarts we never experienced!" Harry exclaimed.

"Oh well, if you really insist I don't think there's anything left to say…" Hermione replied. With this both boys embraced her in a tight warm hug.
