"Hagrid?" Hermione asked, looking at the larger man with a worried eye. "Are you okay?" He sniffled, showing his distress before blowing his nose into a tablecloth sized handkerchief. "Oh, Hagrid," she sighed, stretching up to rub her small hand on his arm. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just worried about Buckbeak, that's all," he replied, wiping some tears away. "That guy ain't done nothin' wrong and he's bein' punished."
"He hurt Draco, but it isn't a an offense punishable by death," she agreed. They both sat in silence, Hagrid's sniffles being the only sound. "I'll get him back for you, if you'd like," she offered suddenly.
Hagrid looked down at her. "I don't want you to get into trouble, 'Mione," he responded.
"I'll punch him in the face and break his nose," she vowed. "What Slytherin Prince would admit to having that done by a girl, let alone a muggle-born?"
Hagrid chuckled, full, body shaking laughs. "Oh, Hermione, I love you."
"I love you more," she smiled.
"Not a chance. I'm bigger, I can contain more love."
She giggled sweetly and wrapped her arms around him as far as she could. He rested one hand on her back in response to her hug. He bit back tears.
