For some, discussing jobs while in the middle of searching for a wedding dress might seem less than ideal, but for Hermione, it's a welcome reprieve. Picking the right dress creates an intangible sort of pressure, Hermione having no objective way of knowing which dress will be the best for the day. Having no way of knowing which Ron might like the most.

She'll pick a dress and wear it confidently, but having a distraction is welcome for the moment.

"You know, Ron had the same problem when he arrived. He was helping me run the Lamplight for a while — which you are also very welcome to do, by the way, if you have idle hands — before he decided to join the police department. It was the closest option to his Auror work. There might be similar work with animals in the city? Or perhaps out in the countryside."
