They hadn't seen each other since he chased her through the village gates following her attack on her husband. Over the years, Hermione developed a comforting, albeit odd, friendship with the older wizard. Part of her worried what his next actions would be now that he knew she was back.

Would he deliver an impassioned lecture about how she ruined the lives of everyone damned to associate with a monster like her? Maybe he would stun her and drag her off to face the Dark Lord and answer for her crimes.
