It seemed counterintuitive , but it was the honest truth . Hermione did n't realize how true until September came around once again , and Severus 's duties at the school sharply diminished the time they had together . Hermione understood , of course ; she knew how hectic the first days were at Hogwarts from her own years ' experience , but she still missed him when it seemed like their schedules would never cross again .
