When Hermione arrived at work the following morning, Scabior came with her. He looked as though he had not slept. She went to him at once and gave him a long hug.  He returned it, pressing a kiss to her temple.  She knew he’d stay close to her today, and she was grateful to him.  If Ron had succeeded at anything last night it would be making her soulbinds even more protective.  They wouldn’t be letting her out of their sight any time soon, and she loved them all for it.
