Re: The Meeting
Hermione shared a quick look of disbelief with Bill. Of course she wasn't shocked about Severus, as much as she and Ron still disliked the man, it made perfect sense for him to take on this new position, it was the choice of Jamie that shocked her. He was too young, too inexperienced-looking over at Harry she could see him trying to school his face into one of passive acceptance, but this must have come as a shock to him as well. As much as she knew she should keep quiet, and stay neutral, she couldn't help nodding in agreement with Bill.
"I agree Bill, why not Harry? I mean, it seems, well please forgive me, disrespectful. Harry has done so much for all of us, and he knows the most about fighting Voldemort. Why not him?"
