Though she was grateful for everything the magical world had given her, muggle life remained Hester's home. She graduated with a PhD in biology, and dedicated the rest of her life to the study and care of lizards and reptiles, specialising in frogs and toads. She spent the rest of her days travelling the world studying and discovering hundreds of different frog species, and only ever used magic now and then, for the occasional mundane task. Thankfully, nobody ever used any of her pets to hatch a basilisk again, though she did become known for minor paranoia regarding the safety of her toads.
