Molly was disappointed when her and Ron hadn’t worked out, she told her she saw her as her daughter-in-law the past few years, but instead now she would have to see her as a second daughter and held her close. She also comforted her when she found out Ron was dating Lavender. Apparently Mrs Weasley wasn’t the biggest fan of Lavender Brown, although she would never tell Ron that. It did make Hermione feel a little less crushed by their break up and she was comforted in the fact that she wouldn’t be abandoned as part of the family just because of that.
