Hermione appreciated Hannah's thoughtfulness. Curious to discover why her son would be sending just her a letter and not include his father, she sat down in a chair at the tiny table in the kitchen to read it. Maybe it was rude to not wait until Hannah's visit was over, but she couldn't help it. At least her guest didn't seem to mind. She kept herself busy inspecting the cupboards to make certain they weren't about to run out of food and then brewing them a fresh pot of tea.
