  I always find it a bit odd, writing a new year in the date. It makes me a bit pensive, and gets me started thinking on all that's happened in the past year. I mean, I quit my job. Granted, it was so that I could go through an educational program that will allow me to have the job that I actually want. Something that will let me get things done. It's completely ridiculous that we are years on from the war and people are still being discriminated against because of things that they can't help, things that they have no control over.

On a lighter side, there were good things. Like getting married. Which reminds me- we're going to have a sort of reception here at Rosemary Cottage (unless Molly would rather us have it at the Burrow) and we're going to be picking out a date soon, so friends should be getting invitations in the mail soon enough.

Ron. We need to pick out a date soon.

Sundry things that are on my mind.

  1. I love being married.
2. Law program starts after the new year!
3. I just owl-ordered new stationery and letterhead. They say Hermione Weasley.
4. I'm warm. It's summer here.
5. Note to self: buy new socks. These have a hole in the toe.

  Dad is doing much better. They're going to let him out of hospital soon, and naturally my Mum is hovering. Though frankly, I have to admit (since if I don't, Ron will) that I've been doing a fair share of hovering myself.

I don't know if Ron and Harry are headed home or not, but I at least am staying here until some time next week. I've not had a proper visit with my parents in a while and this seems like a terrific opportunity to do so.

Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes; they were greatly appreciated.

Ron, Harry

Thank you for being here with me. Love you both. But really, if either of you are itching to go home I won't be offended in the slightest.

  My father had a heart attack. My mum just spent the money to call me from Australia.

I'm going to see him.

I'm considering offering to work on something organizationally related for Oliver!. Is anyone else doing it?

Would you like to have lunch sometime soon? It would be fun to catch up, I think, and I need to get out of the house. What do you think?

  Ron and I are getting married on the 29th of November.

That's amazing to write. In a little over a month, I'm going to be Mrs. Ronald Weasley. Hermione Granger-Weasley. I would never tell Ron this, because he would never let me live it down, but I did find myself doodling that on my notes in History of Magic one day.

In other news, I still haven't heard back from the Ministry program. Hopefully I will, though. I think it starts after Christmas, in the new year, so I need to find a part time job before then. George offered a place at the shop, but I'm not sure I could work with he and Ron and keep my sanity. I'd end up wringing both their necks, I just know it, much as I love Ron and adore George.

We'll see how it goes. In the meantime I've stocked up on all sorts of books on wizard law and I'm spending my days going through them and taking notes. I've got color-coded highlighting charms and different color inks and- well, needless to say, I am in heaven.

Private to Harry

I'm sorry I got hacked off at you. And I'm sorry that I let it go this long.

You know I still love you even when I'm angry with you, right?

  So, when would you like to marry me, Mr. Weasley?

It just occurred to me that we have not yet set any sort of date.

end of an era?

  I handed in my resignation from the Ministry today. I know that most people didn't know I was even considering it, but I have been, quietly, for a bit. I'm just not getting done what I want to get done, so instead I'm going back to studying- law. That way I'll be qualified to work in legislation, and hopefully manage to accomplish more that way.

I am however going to be looking for a part-time job, so if anyone knows of anything open do let me know.

  It's weird. Being 22 doesn't feel the slightest bit different than being 21.

  So, the Save the Nogtails Gala thing wasn't that bad. Oh, except Parvati and the wardrobe malfunction, are you all right? Don't listen to anyone, I think it was brave to walk out of there like that. I would've been mortified.

In other news, work is driving me out of my mind. It's as though I keep getting more and more to do without seeing any sort of improvement. It's like nothing I do has any effect. Sometimes I wish people would just listen to me, but apparently our office isn't for things like that- we're just supposed to make sure werewolves aren't "mistreated" and things of that nature, never mind that making them register in the first place borders on mistreatment.

Ugh. I need a vacation. Or, preferably, a new job where I can get things DONE.

  Well, these journals are...interesting. It's an intriguing way to keep in touch with everyone, though. And certainly handy, sort of like Muggle computer communication devices, only magic. I think I like these better, to be honest.

So...hello, world, I suppose. I'm Hermione Granger soon to be Hermione Weasley, or maybe Granger-Weasley, oh my god we're actually getting married and I work at the Ministry, Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. And you all probably don't want to hear all about my job, do you? Well, that's what I have Harry and Ron for- to bore them with the details.

I'm kidding. Honestly. Ronald, I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that.

Anyway, it's lovely to be able to keep in touch with...whomever has these. Let me know, will you?

[Private to self (and possibly Ron, if she leaves it lying around)]

This job is just getting so exasperating. I feel like I keep working and working and nothing is coming of it. I make small changes, but small changes only matter in small ways until I make enough for them to build up. And I haven't had time to do that yet.

I know I should be patient, but I want results faster than this. I want what I'm doing to matter. [/Private]
