Ron stayed like that with Hermione until she pulled away from him. And he was, as happened often, without an answer when Hermione spoke again. "I don't know. She was impossible to talk to, I just ... I don't know." He hadn't been able to get Rose to even for a minute understand what he had been talking about. Like everything about this place was taking away her right to live or something.
"I had to just stop, or there would have been another outburst in the hallway." He sighed, pressing a hand to his face. "I couldn't even talk to her." It wasn't something he was used to. He and Rose had always been able to talk to each other, all the time, but this? He'd never thought something like this would have happened to the two of them.
