Hermione was sitting at her desk in the office, what a day! She wrote the last sentence of her letter and signed it.

With best regards
Hermione Jane Granger
Chairwoman of the aid organization B.ELFE. R, first class merlin order

She put the quill down and picked up the letter, blew over it once and put it back on the table. She whistled twice in a row and then called her owl to her:
"Ronnie"
A small tawny owl flew onto her bent arm, Hermione stroked its plumage, then whispered to him.
“Here, my little darling, you know where to go.” The owl looked her in the eye and shortly afterwards flew away with his load.
Hermione leaned back in her chair and took a deep breath. Briefly she closed her eyes and like every time she closed her eyes she saw him. Ron. Ron how he beamed at her when they were finally together, how he kissed her, how they were infinitely happy together. Ron how he stood protectively in front of her, Ron how he gave his life for her. Hermione's eyes widened at a knock.
She cleared her throat to regain her composure.
"Come in," she said, still a little hoarsely.
Lilien, her secretary came in.
"Madam Chairman, one of our workers would like to speak to you, it seems to be very ... well ... urgent. Should I let you in?"
"Yes please, I've just finished."
Lilien turned half around and waved someone over, a rather distracted young lady stood in the door shortly afterwards and Lilien closed it after she had patted the lady on the shoulder.
Hermione leaned forward and put her face on her hands, her elbows propped on the table.
"Well? What can I do for you?" She asked.
The young woman, her name was Nici Watson, kneaded her fingers nervously.
"It's about a visit I made to the new owner of the county in Orkney ..."
"Have a seat first.", Hermione asked her, pouring a cup of tea and only hesitantly the distraught lady sat down and told her about the events.She would have Apparated there and when she came and knocked she had to wait for half an eternity in the searing heat, but when the door was finally opened for her there was a tall man standing there, he had really made a snail and insulted her until she was close to tears.
At that moment Hermione had to think of Nici's attitude, the girl seemed made of sugar, she came close to tears very quickly.
She had seen a house-elf in there, she reported, and when the man followed her gaze, he had also read the riot act of the house-elves properly, during which she literally fled, she ended.
Hermione said she would take care of it personally tomorrow and the woman should take a week off. Sometimes Hermione thought about why she was so good-natured, she should rather ditch this bundle of nerves, in the long run she wouldn’t be able to cope with the demands of her job anyway. Sighing, she got up and disappeared home shortly afterwards.

The next day Hermione got ready to visit the county, she put on a silk dress that went a little over her bum and a gauzy cloak over it, she Apparated and arrived at a beautiful coastal landscape. She figured if she would move here at some point then. The waves lapped gently against the rock, and Hermione saw her target tower on a cliff.
'Very imposing, but not imposing enough to intimidate me,' she thought and straightened her shoulders. She had pinned her Merlin order to the cloak, she wanted to intimidate the man a little.
She ran through the iron gate and then down the path. Then she knocked. A moment later a house elf opened.
"You wish Madam?" He asked in his squeaky voice.
Hermione almost dropped her jaw in surprise, the house elf was wearing an Armani suit and his googly eyes looked at her haughty.She shook her head briefly and the next moment the house elf slammed the door in her face. She knocked a little annoyed and he opened it again, this time with a haughty grin on his cheeks.
"Has it occurred to you why you are visiting the honorable county?" He asked with a grin. "Smart girl ..."
"I want to meet the host," Hermione growled angrily and the house elf nodded.
"Your Highness, Besuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!", The house elf shouted and shortly afterwards a magician appeared in a black suit, white shirt and black tie ...
