—————Dumbledore had taken the fall for them and disappeared. Harry was in a worse mood than ever before. The OWLs were on their heads. Hermione felt like she hadn’t been there for Harry & Ron as much this year. She knew they loved her but she also felt a little left out. She could never seem to have the kind of understanding they had. She knew she was the "brains’ of the group, the boys came to her for help and advice all the time. But when it came to emotional support, (she had recently discovered with Draco that boys have feelings too) she never felt like she was able to help. The understanding and brotherhood that they shared, she always felt a little like an outsider.
