Hermione is happy for her friends, of course, thrilled that Neville is reunited with the girl he so obviously adores, glad that Theo and Blaise can be together, even delighted that Pansy makes Ginny laugh, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a thread of envy woven into all of it. When she sees Ginny and Harry or – surprise! – Ron and Astoria with one another, it reminds her of who isn’t there. She wants to ask Tonks how much longer they’re going to keep Draco at Malfoy Manor. Surely there can’t be that much more information that he can get to them, and the stress of being constantly on guard in a miserable and menacing atmosphere must be almost unbearable.
