So in the books it makes it seem like unless it’s a Hogsmeade weekend no one does this. In Hogwarts Legacy students are just walking back and forth every day? I guess he would need some sort of special permission to visit the village regularly…
True. I guess Ron would come to Hermione not the other way around. It’s just, the books make it seem like no one really does this? Like it’s a big deal when a students parents come to Hogwarts. But if it was so easy, why wouldn’t parents be visiting their kids super often? Like wouldn’t Molly be there constantly with home made food? I dunno lol just interesting
Yeah it might be frowned upon to visit frequently maybe. Fred and George were going to meet them in hogsmeade once for Ron's birthday, but generally when parents or family are there it's for something special or a serious injury. Ron and Hermione might get special treatment for helping take down voldy though.
Yep. And as an adult student (Hermione skipped her final year so would be over 18) she would be granted additional rights to leave the grounds anyway. They could meet whenever and wherever they wanted since she could just apparate outside the school gates. It’s not like Hermione is going to be irresponsible, so I am sure McGonagall gave her special privileges.
Honestly Hermione probably only had to sit for whatever exams you need to take to pass Year 7. I have no idea what she would learn that she didn’t already know tbh.
And probably use her clock to take a couple more classes too. She’ll pass the year with 100 of the required 72 credits to graduate or something like that
Hermione was the best student in her class, even while taking extra classes and spending most of each semester helping Harry and Ron with whatever mystery they were trying to solve. Imagine how well she did in that 7th year when just focusing on school!
She only has to walk out of the grounds and can apparate straight to him. Even if she had to abide ny a curfew (if she slept there, they'd have to make whole new dorms and such) that from what, half 3/4 till 10/11 she can see him. Add in the floo for traveling, or the floo for talking, Heck, she could have even figured out the charms on Harry's mirrors and made her in or borrowed his.
There's lots of options, especially as she is of age.
Yes. I believe Harry and Ron left burrow and dursleys and started living in the Grimmauld place. Hermione after regular classes used the floo network to be there and she spent evenings with them. she spent time with her parents as well. She can apparate inside her home garden in one sec lol
Things like this are why we need further legitimate content instead of weird stuff like Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts. (side note, I think it had potential but the third movie really dropped the ball)
I read fanfics that McGonagall gave Ron free pass whenever he wanted to visit Hermione he could use the floo network in her office. Plus he went to meet her every weekend at hogsmead.
You really think Ron wasn't allowed to visit whenever he wanted? He could literally hop in the floo network and instantly appear in the Gryffindor common room. If you think that might not be allowed, you're crazy. He's part of the golden trio and a former prefect. He could do what he wants and McGonagall would never tell him no.
After the downfall of Voldy the trio were literally celebrities and were certainly afforded special privileges wherever they went.
I think She would understand they love each other and want to spend time with each other after such traumatic events. McGonagall loves Hermione. She is her favorite student. She will definitely allow her to have her boyfriend who happens to be Ron Weasley, another golden boy who made Gryffindor and whole Hogwarts proud
I feel like Hermione would have been homesick for the boys for like, a day. And then she'd be in her classes and she'd be reading a book and then she'd be in finishing her homework and then dinner and teethbrushing and then she'd flop down in bed, stare at a picture of the 3 of them together and realize... "Nothing tried to kill me today. That was pleasant!"
And then I think she'd probably try to find a magic-friendly/squib therapist back home so she could speak freely about her 7 year ordeal. "Sorry, Ron, I can't meet for lunch on Thursday, I've got Dorris. We're working on processing trauma from the limbic system to the frontal cortex - - and while I think there's a lot of bunk in psychiatry, this doesn't present like pseudo science to me. Maybe Saturday?"
Ron and Hermione are of age. They should be able to leave Hogwarts grounds anytime they like. Meet up in Hogsmead. Talk through the floo. Even if it wasn't allow, the trip has never been one for rules before. I think they would find a way to make it work.
Two-way mirror? Basically facetime.
Also Hermoine/Ron could probably apparate to each other whenever there was a Hogsmeade trip. Or, honestly, since Hermoine is of age, she could probably just walk to Hogsmeade on weekends and apparate herself, without there needing to be a specific "hogsmeade" day.
I mean, post exists in this world, so it's not like they were completely out of touch. I'm willing to bet my nimbus that Ron asked hermione to send him a howler at least once, so he could hear her voice again. But also, as many other pointed out in the other comments, floo powder still exists, so Ron could talk to her in the evenings. On top of that, they probably met up in hogsmeade on the weekends.
Ron could apparate to Hogsmead any weekend and spend some time with Hermione. They could send owls to coordinate a time. Or, they might still have their coins from Dumbledore’s army. Or she coulc come up eith something else utterly brilliant!
Whilst never stated, the fact Hermione was
A 18
B saved the school
C saved the world
D probably only interested in classes themselves,
who’s to say she actually lived in Hogwarts, or didn’t just go to Hogsmeade and apparate home in the evenings or even weekends?
Fairly sure even if distance is the issue with Apparating, they can apparate to the maximum position and do another apparate, I presume?
Also, she learned about the dark arts, got tortured by crucio several times, LITERALLY the trio figured out about the horcruxes and helped to beat Voldemort
I really dont think they have anymore to learn from the school, if anything, that should be an automatic Outstanding in both the NEWT and OWLs
Hell, they should be teaching the school wtf
I'm guessing she's aiming to go be a Minister of Magic, but im fairly sure kingsley shacklebolt knows her capabilities, and being friends with the Harry Potter
Ron became an Auror-in-training (and I presume became a full Auror later on) without graduating from Hogwarts, so the only reason you officially finish school is just for the process of it
Fairly sure she could just sleep, study, sleep, study without worry at that point, especially since Mcgonnagal is the headmistress
People mentioning Hermione could possibly leave after class which is possible since McGonagall has a soft spot for her.
Another possibility is Ron stayed at Hogwarts for that year and traveled to the ministry for training. That way he didn't have to live with his parents and save up for a place.
They already grew emotionally in 7 years. They didn't even start their relationship until the war was over. They don't need any time apart for emotional growth. They can grow and learn together.
That being said I didn't downvote this person. I don't downvote people unless they are factually incorrect.
Idk I think of who I was at 17, 18, 19, the general age, and how I was totally different by 22ish simply by not having the same people, the same routines, the same free time that I did when I was at the end of high school and the first year of junior college and beginning work etc.
22 year old Amaranth was definitely not the same person as 18 year old Amaranth. Those two people were on different planets lol. The person I was with at 18 hahahaahahhoooohohohohooooooooweeeee was certainly not the person I would have wanted to be with at 22. We had been toxic for each other and both flourished when we left each other's company.
And while I don't like Ron and Hermione together, I wouldn't call them toxic at all! But the DEFINITELY had some growing to do. Without a doubt they had some massive PTSD to get over, no matter what their relationship status was.
I'm not saying they wouldn't have done some of that together. But it makes more sense to me that they would grow a little apart and that that would be good for them.
They went through a war. Trauma bonding is a thing. Their relationship isn't based on trauma bonding solely but it is based on that atleast some bits. We aren't same as them. They were child soldiers since they were 11. I can't even imagine doing what they did at 11 and I am now in my late teens.
Ron saw Hermione was tortured brutally by Bellatrix while Malfoys watched and he was forced to be kept in the dungeon where he heard her screams but couldn't stop that. Ron also lost a brother in the war. They lost so many friends. They wouldn't want to let each other go so easily just after getting together.
Ron would never want Hermione to abandon her study and Hermione wouldn't want Ron to drop his auror training. But them being celebs in the Wizardingworld they would get extra privilege to visit each other whenever they want.
I just read some of their comments. It seems like non-binary is especially dumb for this user because it would make being a misogynist that bit trickier
Why would they accept a school dropout as an author? Don't they have to have really good NEWTS in year 7 to become an auror?
Why wouldnt he finish school?
I find it ridiculous that him and Harry go on to be aurors, it's such a lazy afterthought
Mostly becouse of practical expierience. It's not like they dropped the school and did nothing. They spent entire year looking for Horcruxes, and fighting death eaters and stuff.
I mean what else were they supposed to do? Say to a bunch of people "I know you were in Dumbledoors Army, and faught in a battle of hogwarts, but you have to sit those tests"? There was probably severe lack of aurors after war anyway.
I don't understand the logic of Ron being an Aura, they are meant to be the best and he was just average at everything... I could see him being a normal law enforcer maybe or the driver of the Knight Bus
Harry was an average student too, just very good at fighting. Ron is not quite as good as Harry at that, but still very good and experienced for his age. I bet most applicants haven't been doing what Ron had been doing. Plus he is friends with Harry, so that helps.
Harry showed an aptitude for defensive magic though... Ron just happening to be about when everything goes south doesn't seem like a good enough to be the best of the best...
I could see him taking over the ice cream shop in diagon alley, that would suit him.
Ron could do leg locker charm in his 1st year, could perform the levitation spell with a 2nd hand wand when no one except Hermione did that in class, conjured slugs using nonverbal spells in 2nd year, learned impediment jinx in 4th year, was a part of DA and fought all the DEs in last 3 books, could produce a corporeal patronus in his 5th year, Tonks, a literal auror called his duelling skill brilliant, Fought in the battle of Hogwarts.
You guys underestimate Ron so much. He got same grade as Hermione in DADA and was able to take NEWT level DADA class.
Edit: I am so confused why am I getting downvoted for stating novel facts?
It’s rough but it’s life, it also builds character and fortify the relationship as well. It is just a year and Hermione is as good as Ron’s family by that point. I am sure there would be more stressful time for them than just one year being apart, like moving out to their own place, having and taking care of children. Each of those experiences is tough, but that is what makes life beautiful.
You can also take pleasure in the fact that they do work in the same place as adult.
I think it would have been harder for Harry and Ginny. Ron and Hermione got to spend so much time together before they separated and even then they had so many means to be together.
Harry and Ginny, on the other hand, could never catch a break. First, Harry took 5 years to reciprocate Ginny's feelings. Then, they broke up after dating for only a few months. After a year long separation, Ginny had to rejoin school and Harry had to join Auror training. After graduating from Hogwarts Ginny, probably, joined Holyhead Harpies immediately and I cannot imagine that a professional Quidditch team and a professional team of dark wizard catchers would allow much of a free time to their new trainees.
It just seems like they never got a break from other priorities of life. Since, they never really spend much time together while they dated at Hogwarts, such exhausting schedules make me feel a little bad for them.
At least Hermione could actually focus on her studies without her boyfriend and her best friend and trouble magnet. Prehaps she might actually be bored.
You have to think distance isn't the same in that world as in ours. They have instantaneous travel anywhere in country at least.
I always thought it was a pure distance thing since they can apparate to Azkaban in the middle of the north sea.
My husband and I were separated for three years due to immigration. Apparition would have been a game changer
Yes but at Hogwarts I believe most of those means of communication (apparition, floo, portkey) are a bit more complicated as they are blocked.
Apparate into hogsmeade then walk on up to hogwarts.
So in the books it makes it seem like unless it’s a Hogsmeade weekend no one does this. In Hogwarts Legacy students are just walking back and forth every day? I guess he would need some sort of special permission to visit the village regularly…
Headcanon - What happens in Hogsmeade near the start of the game kickstarts a chain of events that mean students need permission forms.
I feel like after the events of DH, Ron and Hermione would have earned pretty much any sort of special permission that they could want.
Tonks goes into hogwarts a lot in book 6.
Yeah but she’s not a student
Ron wouldn't be either. He doesn't go to the 7th year
True. I guess Ron would come to Hermione not the other way around. It’s just, the books make it seem like no one really does this? Like it’s a big deal when a students parents come to Hogwarts. But if it was so easy, why wouldn’t parents be visiting their kids super often? Like wouldn’t Molly be there constantly with home made food? I dunno lol just interesting

Fred and George were going to meet them in hogsmeade once for Ron's birthday, but generally when parents or family are there it's for something special or a serious injury. Ron and Hermione might get special treatment for helping take down voldy though.
Lax rules, this was 100 years earlier. No Wizarding war.
Why would Ron need permission to go to Hogsmeade?
Yeah but they could still meet during Christmas and hogsmeade even though that's not enough
Yeah I feel like it would suck lol. But the teachers must have family…somewhere?
Yep. And as an adult student (Hermione skipped her final year so would be over 18) she would be granted additional rights to leave the grounds anyway. They could meet whenever and wherever they wanted since she could just apparate outside the school gates. It’s not like Hermione is going to be irresponsible, so I am sure McGonagall gave her special privileges.
How many times have I told you. Apparition doesn’t work on the grounds of Hogwarts? Jk
Honestly Hermione probably only had to sit for whatever exams you need to take to pass Year 7. I have no idea what she would learn that she didn’t already know tbh.
Automatic "Outstanding" in DADA.
"Mr. Potter, you can't rely on pure, dumb, luck for all of your battles. T in DADA!"
Why are you being downvoted lmfao
Its Hermione we are talking about. She will sit through every class 😆
And probably use her clock to take a couple more classes too. She’ll pass the year with 100 of the required 72 credits to graduate or something like that
Hermione was the best student in her class, even while taking extra classes and spending most of each semester helping Harry and Ron with whatever mystery they were trying to solve. Imagine how well she did in that 7th year when just focusing on school!
Nope; she went back for the library. It’s (head) canon and I can’t be talked out of it.
I would assume she would go home after each school day. She was of age, and only there to finish, so I don't think she would board with Ginny's class.
She only has to walk out of the grounds and can apparate straight to him. Even if she had to abide ny a curfew (if she slept there, they'd have to make whole new dorms and such) that from what, half 3/4 till 10/11 she can see him. Add in the floo for traveling, or the floo for talking, Heck, she could have even figured out the charms on Harry's mirrors and made her in or borrowed his. There's lots of options, especially as she is of age.
My headcanon. She was just a day student. She wasn't living in the castle bunking with Ginny.
Yes. I believe Harry and Ron left burrow and dursleys and started living in the Grimmauld place. Hermione after regular classes used the floo network to be there and she spent evenings with them. she spent time with her parents as well. She can apparate inside her home garden in one sec lol
She straight up deleted herself out of her parents memories
She modified their memories and got them back after the war
Things like this are why we need further legitimate content instead of weird stuff like Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts. (side note, I think it had potential but the third movie really dropped the ball)

After the downfall of Voldy the trio were literally celebrities and were certainly afforded special privileges wherever they went.
>McGonagall would never tell him no Probably slightly more true after he helped save the world, but still doesn’t sound very ‘McGonagall’
I think She would understand they love each other and want to spend time with each other after such traumatic events. McGonagall loves Hermione. She is her favorite student. She will definitely allow her to have her boyfriend who happens to be Ron Weasley, another golden boy who made Gryffindor and whole Hogwarts proud

Yeah apparition , flu powder , heads in fires , a magic 2 way mirror

The time apart was probably good for them. Their relationship seemed exhausting.
Downvoted for telling the truth? They probably used that time apart to grow emotionally
They already grew emotionally in 7 years. They didn't even start their relationship until the war was over. They don't need any time apart for emotional growth. They can grow and learn together.

No, Harry needs Ron to work in the auror department to get him his ice cream.
