George has admired hermione from afar, and when his brother Ron is murdered in a fight with deatheaters he takes it upon himself to comfort her.
Hermione watched helplessly, from where she was tied up,as Voldemort killed Ron with the killingcurse not so much as batting an eyelid.
She felt silent tears falling down her cheeks, and she turned her head away from where Ron's body was laid just as the Order members make their way in.
They untied her and hermione felt her self being hugged by Harry who she knew was also in shock from what they'd both justwitnessed.
"Come on Herms, lets get you to HQ." said Harry leading the way from their friend's dead body.

George sat playing wizard chess with Fred while Ginny watched when the Order members burst in, their robes covered in dust and occasionally blood and their faces covered in burns and bruises.
George looked up and saw Hermione clinging to Harry and knew something was wrong when he didn't see Ron hugging Hermione also.
Hesoon saw his brother's limp body being carried by his dad, whose face was weary and solemn at the same time.
Ginny began to cry and Fred hugged her silently, looking at his twin in silent disbelief and outrage.
Both twins couldn't come up with a smart remark to justify the death of their brother; they knew how serious it was and how much of an impact it would have on their already broken family.
George got up from the floor and watched as their dad put Ron's body on the old sofa in the corner before he went to talk to the other Order members.
He heard crying from the kitchen and knew it sounded familiar.
He'd heard it a lot while Ron had been at Hogwarts when he'd had fights with...
George bit his lip.
...Hermione.
Ron and Hermione had onlystarted to date a few months ago, after a seven-year friendship of secret crushes, arguments, supporting Harry and stuff they shouldn't have got involved in.
Voldemort was one of those things they shouldn't have got involved in; they should have supported Harry from the sidelines like any sane witch or wizard.
George looked into the kitchen and saw Hermione sat at the kitchen table with Harry and Mrs Weasley who were both trying their best to comfort her.
He could tell his mum was trying not to cry too but in the end she ran from the room with tears streaming down her cheeks, their dad soon following to calm her down.
Harry seemed just as distort astheir motherand George knew Harry needed time to mourn alone, to come to terms with what had happened.
George went in and caught Harry's gaze, jerking his head in the direction of the doorway to indicatehe shouldgo.
Harry smiled at him thankfully as he whispered at Hermione he was leaving.
Hermione nodded at him understandingly, smiled weakly in thanks,and watched him leave the room.
"Thanks George. I just need some time alone." whispered Harry wearily as he passed the twin.
"Its Ok Harry." said George with a quick smile and a pat on the back.
Harry went up to his room and George approached Hermione at the kitchen table, hoping that he'd be able to comfort her.
