When McGonagall offers Hermione Granger a position as the Librarian at Hogwarts she decides that returning is in her best interest. Needing distraction from her departure from the Ministry she hopes to focus on helping the students, but instead she finds herself face to face with emotions she stamped down when Harry Potter arrives as the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. She had lied to herself for years after they had traveled alone, convinced herself it was all nothing. Apparently it wasn’t, because his eyes say something different and the tension when they are alone is unbearable.
