Reading your posting about Hermione, I've come to the idea that maybe she 
will end up working at MoM on the DoM.  She wants to make something great to 
the WW and for the muggles as well, so I guess the best place to do taht is 
where she can keep track of the strange things and mysteries kept there.  
Besides, she Is very good solving things & explaning them, so what do all of 
you think?
