Hello!

As previously mentioned, rereading is going to take a bit of time, so let's get back to it!

Year TWO begins....

September

I think Hydra actually did NOT want to be an Auror, because she did not want to be like her mother. So "I will be an Auror" is more a sigh of resignation, like "either I'll marry Harry or I'll end up doing this, I guess."

And then it became her life's calling, and Ron's. Heh.

If you're ever inclined, I'd love to hear more about Hydra's evolution as an Auror...like when did it move from something she had to do for the war effort to her life's calling?

Ah, in her last public post she said: "To make up for all the misdeeds I've done, I will remain a servant of Albion for as long as I am physically and mentally able. I swear to do my best to help keep this new world safe for everyone, whether pureblood, halfblood, muggleborn, or muggle."

So basically, she saw herself as keeping a promise to the people, not only to make up for what she herself did as a Death Eater, but probably to try to make up for what her parents did, and Barty did, etc.

But she was also good at being an Auror, and eventually learned to enjoy it for herself.
