[ It's nice, really. To have someone to hug. It's not because she draws comparisons, it's not because she's found herself a surogate or replacement, but between the red hair and the can do attitude, Red reminds her of Ginny so much sometimes it makes something in Hermione ache.
Mostly, though, there's something oddly small and sad about Red, something that Hermione wants to protect. So that hug will last as long as it needs to last.
It lasts all the way through when the beacon was activated back in Serthica, and her mouth going dry and numb. ] They got that working?
[ Was she asleep when that happened? Was she helping the orphans underground? Was she just pretending it wasn't real because she's fond of both her friends and of the danger? ]
It is - it is messed up. Um. [She presses her lips together, and hooks her chin on Red's shoulder, and mutters quietly:] Fucked up.
