"I just don’t want you to get hurt," this Harry says, and past-Hermione throws it back in his face even as he excuses whatever Ron did as "not a big deal", as "you’re obviously fine and it’s not you were like this innocent victim". Ron grabbing her wrist so hard that they can almost hear the bones grind together. She glances at other-Hermione and sees the witch’s frozen expression. These aren’t her boys. Whoever they are in this world, they’re not her boys. Ron would never lay hands on her. And Harry would never, never allow it. He would never excuse it with pretty words and cut her off. She wants to applaud when past-Hermione tells them to bugger off.
