"Oh, believe me," Hermione replied with a soft, breathless laugh. "I'd be the last person to argue against the fact that having such a complex and varied world has its advantages. It certainly keeps any of us from being... bored, I suppose. We can engage with any part of the world, be it people, places, creatures, and literally never come to an end of things to learn and explore. That has its own beauty." Her lips quirked a bit wryly, knowing how certain people would have accused her of overthinking it all, of being too enamored with academia. Her own two best friends didn't share the same fervor for class, and likely never would.
Glancing up again, she shrugged lightly. "But at the same time, that's daunting, isn't it? Especially when all you really want to know is the answer to some small question, some matter so minute when placed against the vast nature of the universe, and yet still can never seem to learn enough." Her gaze brushed down again. "I don't blame you at all for being frustrated."
