In response, Hermione curled into the embrace, hiding her face in his neck. He was glad to see the bed unmade, making it easier to tuck her under the covers. Using his magic, he waved a hand over her body, vanishing her black dress robes from sight and leaving her in nothing but a cream camisole and knickers. Gently, he then wrapped her in the comforter and brushed her hair from her face after she'd curled onto her side.
