Now it’s Hermione who’s moved to tears, blinking furiously to not mess with her eye makeup or to open the floodgates of the tears she’s suppressed for over 3 years. She settles for hugging Ginny, saying "I know Ginny. I always knew, but I convinced myself that we could overcome the obstacles together, that love was enough. But I don’t think there was love to begin with, and all I can do now is move forward and not settle again. Ron won’t be coming back through my door again."
