It had been 3 days since the disastrous lunch with Cormac McLaggen. Eventually McLaggen appeared to realise that Hermione was getting bored of him wittering on about his own company and achievements. With about 20 minutes left before she had to get back to the office he made a belated attempt to course correct and ask her a few questions about herself, Rose and Hugo. No mention was made of Ron Weasley.
