Long before this moment, it had come to his attention that Hermione's hair was getting rather long. It fell below her elbows, tickling her ribs and curving gracefully down her back. Being long suited Hermione's hair. It wasn't nearly as bushy as it was when it was short. It was just a little bit thinner, and slightly curlier, too. But Ron mostly loved the way it framed her face. It made her look even more beautiful, and even more mature.
