"There is a difference you know," Hermione stated. She knew that she had support within the Wizarding community but when she watched how tight the families held to one another she couldn't help but wish for the same. Yes, she had people that treated her as family, Harry and Ron were the closest things to family outside of her parents that she had. Still she knew that eventually Harry would find someone that was more important than her. In fact she was beginning to wonder if the same would eventually fall true for Ron. Afterall, she wasn't always the most available.
Dropping her arms she stepped back from Ron though she did keep the connection by holding his hand. "Or will she simply refuse the idea because only her father ought to have that honor?" Hermione knew how hard it was to not have her family around. When Ron left her an Harry she had spent many a night wondering what would come of them and whether she would ever see her parents again. If the possibility of never seeing them again hurt so badly she couldn't imagine how horrible the reality must be.
