The last group of people left to speak to were the Weasleys.  She couldn’t deny that she was  afraid of them and she knew she couldn't avoid the confrontation either, as much as she wished she could. She had to face them. Hermione decided to start with the most neutral person in the whole family - Arthur, with whom she spoke to on a daily basis. He had been accompanied by other prominent people from the Ministry.  As soon as he saw her, he waved, a gentle smile on his face.
