As the days went by, Ron became more and more possessive, his personality bordering on obsessive. She assumed that he was just feeling overly protective after the incident at the manor, but as the weeks went by, however, she started to notice more of a pattern. Ron was only acting out this way when in the company of Remus or Sirius. She also recognized that more often than not, one or both of the men were within arm's reach any time she was alone with the redhead. Unsurprisingly, they were absent when she was with Harry. Harry had admitted to her that they both were still cross over Ron’s departure on Halloween, but he couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t give him another chance after they both had forgiven him. Although Hermione herself hadn't told Harry that she hadn't fully forgiven him either.
