As the group made their way down to Hogsmeade, Hermione nodded along as Ron walked beside her and told her about his latest adventures in auror training. She laughed along as he recounted his latest adventure where he used his emergency portkey—the same incident she overheard him and Harry discussing in the corridor earlier. Harry and Ginny were wrapped up in a conversation with one another just a few paces ahead of her and Ron, and Hermione noted their entwined hands, and the adoring looks they sent one another.
