Hermione stiffened slightly as the hug came. She'd never been one to be overly familiar with people, particularly those she'd just met. That was one of the reasons she'd had such a hard time connecting with others when she first entered Hogwarts. Well, that and her focus on academia over socialization. Truth be told socialization still wasn't a strong suit though she did try to get out a bit more often and had been widening her horizons outside of the Leaky and Finnnigan's.
"I'm sure you've both done brilliantly," she looked over at a set of smaller than normal boxes that was sitting over to the side. "Ginny's always been better at these spells than most of the boys." By boys, Hermione meant both their male friends and the one's Ginny had grown up with. Mixing those thoughts with Jane's words Hermione smiled inwardly, Ginny had been the closest thing to a sister Hermione had ever had.
