"Same here," she gave a generic response to what was likely nothing more than a generic meeting. Hermione remained quiet for a few as did the other woman. She pondered whether to stay once she had finished reviewing the current text or simply check the other book out and head home.

Hermione was a bit taken aback by the question. Only Ron and Harry knew her parents were still alive and that they were safely tucked away in Australia. It couldn't hurt to share the generic feeling. "Dread," she said the word in a tone that conveyed how truly dreadful she had felt. "And what about your feelings?" Hermione inquired noting that the other woman was asking for details that had been avoided as part of Hermione's questioning.
