Amazing.
Hermione was a victim and a survivor, but she would not let those things define her. She was string and brave but this was a result of her extremely supportive team, her coach, her best friend and even the officer of her case. I loved the way Hermoine handled it with Grace, how she allowed herself to feel the pain of what she was going through but also allowed herself to ask for help and depend on those around her who she knew she could trust. Polly, Coach Caledon, her team and her family were perfect examples of what to do when someone you’ve known your entire life goes through an assault like this, they were supportive, they defended her, the protected her and gave her space when she needed it most. Hermoine was never alone, someone held her hand through it all, and best of all, they believed her.
This was not a cautionary tale, but it was fucking brilliant.
