Hermione dropped the files she was shuffling at the sound of the voice she hadn't heard in months. Standing just inside the doorframe, Augustus looked as if it physically pained him to be there. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. It wasn't unreasonable to expect him to drop by her office eventually when he learned where she was. Deciding to try her best to put everything unpleasant behind them, she crossed the office to greet him properly with a hug. Stiff and tense at first, she feared his pride wouldn't let him give in. Finally, Augustus sighed and returned the affection.
