Ron felt numb from it all: he had already been tired from working the Gala, staying at the Ministry until the wee hours of the morning had pushed him well over into exhaustion, and the reason for it had him in what he distantly realized was probably a state of shock. He could hardly think but, at the same time, he felt just then as if he would never be able to sleep until they knew what happened and justice had been served.

Apparating was probably foolish, under the circumstances, but he didn't feel like flooing in so late (or was it early?) and so he'd appeared outside Hermione's door with a pop once he'd been able to leave.

He needed to see her almost more than he needed to tell her what had happened.

Taking a deep breath, Ron knocked loudly on the door.
