He had repeated himself enough times now that Hermione really was aware that he had nothing else to tell her. Maybe it was the Ministry's fault more than Ron's, but she couldn't help thinking that the passing on of information at the moment was somewhat neglectful. That bothered her as much as him not being able to tell her what she wanted to know.
He apologised for being rather insensitive though, so she was satisfied with that and didn't move away as he placed a hand on her arm. "Alright," she agreed, actually meaning it this time. It was going to be hard not to worry now though.
"Are you that tired that you need to go to bed right away?" she asked after a moment.
