Authors note: So basically this starts in the 2nd book but instead of staying open the school closes down so yeah. Enjoy!
Hermione was concerned. Harry,who was sitting in the corner at the time, hadn't spoken at all for the whole trip so far and he had kept his legs drawn up to his chest since they had sat down with his face buried in his knees. What actually concerned her was that Harry had been completely silent up until a few minutes ago when she had started to her muffled sobs coming from where he was sitting. She didn't know how to comfort Harry since Hogwarts had been his first and only true home so the prospect of never coming back had to upset him. Her thoughts were quite suddenly interrupted as the compartment door slid open and Ron appeared looking distinctly ruffled. As soon as he walked in Hermiome seized him by the elbow to get his attention and put her finger to her lips before jerking her head at Harry who was still sniffling quietly in the corner. Ron understood immediately but instead of sitting opposite Harry and leaving him alone like Hermione suggested he walked around her and sat down beside Harry instead. Hermione watched in a sort of stunned silence as Ron carefully but comfortingly put his arm around Harry. Hermione couldn't see his face but she knew he had calmed down slightly because the sobs stopped almost instantly. Harry didn't look up but shuddered slightly for a moment before relaxing a bit and going still. He looked over at Hermione who was actually quite impressed at how Ron had managed to calm Harry down so easily, something Hermione might never be able to do. The minutes passed and either out of care for his best friend or just because he was comfortable with it Ron stayed in the same sort of position for the whole rest of the trip, occasionally bending down so his head was level with Harry's to whisper something to him. Hermione then started to notice that over the past few months the two boys had grown slightly closer to each other than she was with them which kind of put her off but she ignored it. Besides, it's not like she was going to be shut out for good right?
