I'm sorry if it came off that way. I tried to make myself busy and disappeared into myself for a bit. I was a mess after Harry left, I wasn't any good for anyone. [ An understatement, perhaps. ]

I'm glad you're okay, though. I did! I started work in Medical as a healer. I haven't done terrifically much with it yet, but it's nice to feel purposeful. Where have you ended up? We really should catch up, it's been too long.

I think I know a fraction of how you felt. He has always meant a lot to me. But I can tell you that he is in a better - safer - world. We didn't discuss details beyond the war being over...and won.

[That alone equals a better world, right?]

Healers are desperately needed on a ship - particularly when curses hit us. I'm sure you will do a lot of good.

As for me, I'm working in the Xenobiology and Genetics department under Professor Snape.

I'm grateful that he's had you in his life, Hermione. It may sound a little sentimental, but it makes me feel a little better about being gone to know he has friends like you.

[ Were this any other format there may be a pause here. As it is, it takes her a bit longer than she normally would have to respond; it's still hard to talk about being gone at all. ]

It's a good fit, I think. There's always something that needs doing.

Oh, you're in Severus' department? I know they can always use bright minds, wonderful.

It isn't right that you're gone. If I could change that for him - for everyone - I would. He is a remarkable person regardless of circumstances and I'm glad we're such good friends.

I only wish you could meet Ron and Ginny.

[Just typing the word "Ron" hurts.]

So there's no time for regrets.

[She knows Lily is right. It will always be tough.]

The material interests me. We never get the chance in Hogwarts to explore genetics. Wouldn't it be intriguing to see a genetic sequence of someone who possesses Magic? Or someone who is a Werewolf?

I don't know if I'll ever be okay with it. I've tried not to mention it much but sometimes I feel like I'm not meant to be here, either. I know that's silly.

I wish I could meet everyone, it feels selfish to want to bring people here but I suppose it's all I've got. I know when I come from, there's no changing that. I'm sorry, this is turning into a whole lot of self-pity!

The material really is fascinating. As much as I love magic, I've never quite understood many wizards' refusal to learn anything else.

[ An understatement. ]
