Summary
Working for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures means that Hermione Granger sometimes has to deal with prickly, angry, misanthropic creatures.
Like centaurs.
Or Snape.
The combination of the two should have been awful - perhaps explosively so - but instead, it proves to be the catalyst for hope, heartbreak, and healing.

Summary
‘If I told you there was something you could do to prevent his death, would you do it, Miss Granger?’
The war was at an end, and they had lost so many. Too many. The battle might have been won and Tom Riddle dead, but there was so much now that would need to be dealt with. The castle was a mess—so much structural damage had been done by the collective strength of the spells flying haphazardly all over the place, not to mention the numerous funerals that would need to be held, who to elect in charge of the Ministry now that there was a power vacuum, and what they were going to do about all of the Death Eaters who had fled upon Riddle’s demise.
And yet all Hermione could think of, kept seeing when she would close her eyes to blink, was the sheer relief mixed with pain as she remembered the dark eyes of her former professor, gazing up at her as the light left them. If there was something she could do, would she do it? The answer was simple.

Summary
Every morning she would make her silent journey away from the manor, and upon reaching the crest of the hill, she would sit and welcome the day, communing with nature before the tedious tasks of the day ahead. She loved the smell of the grass, the trees, the wildflowers that bloomed in thick clusters along the trail she walked. She would close her eyes, breathe deeply, and will her nose to remember every single smell, and her ears every sound. All of this would energise her and keep her plodding along throughout the day. She would hold onto this feeling so that the next morning she could look forward to doing it all again.
And as the sun rose higher, she knew that it was time to return to her life—the life of a servant to a noble family. The life of a witch not born to any fortune, whose parentage was unremarkable: the life of a Muggleborn.

Summary
If you asked Hermione, she would tell you that she and Harry didn't have a love story. Even the most stripped down definition of a story has five elements: characters, setting, plot, conflict and resolution. In comparison, the sequence leading up to their marriage was just a series of connected, but improbable events. There was no real conflict, thus no resolution and therefore no story.
If you asked Harry, he would say that their love story started about twenty years ago when he made a wrong turn when he was trying to find a bookstore. If that hadn't happened they probably never would have gotten together.
