Hermione extended her hand and requested stubbornly for the letter that was in Harry’s hand. She noticed how Harry gave Ron a look, and a silent exchange took place between them only the two of them could understand. Ron stepped closer and placed his hand on Hermione’s lower back and took the letter from Harry, handing it to Hermione, "It will be okay, no matter what it is" he whispered so she could be the only one who heard him.
