"Anything worth having in life is worth fighting for," Hermione replies with a small shrug of her own. "You have the freedom to share your opinion, so you'd be remiss not to use that freedom. There will always be people who wish they'd had that chance."

She hesitates when Korrin brings up the prospect of seeing a familiar face. "I don't know that I'd want to, since life is just starting to settle down for most of us. But I suppose, if it's Ron or Harry or my parents, it would at least keep them from worrying about where I'd gone off to. Well... maybe not Ron. He worries a lot." About her. Which just makes her feel strangely guilty for disappearing without so much as a note left behind.
