( Once she gets off the elevator, Hermione breaks out into a run, calling out apologies over her shoulder when she bumps into people as she goes. Maybe it's because she's feeling awkward about being in this place after everything; maybe it's just that she loves Harry — and Ron, and Ginny, and all of them — so much and she hadn't realized how much she'd been missing him even though it's only been a few days, but she doesn't slow down when she catches sight of him so much as she launches herself at him for a hug, squeezing him tightly. )

I know, I feel the same way.

( She gives a little hum as she gives him one more squeeze before stepping back and looking back at him. )

I'm so glad you're here, too, Harry.

( Hermione almost asks whether he thinks Ron will come, but quiets the question by reminding herself that Ron's family is still alive and knows who he is...and they've suffered a very deep loss. Ron probably won't take his invitation when his family needs him. They've got a twin to bury. Her expression falters at the thought. )

I have to tell you...I've found some people we know here...

( For the moment, she'll hold off on throwing out Professor Lupin and Sirius's names — and she'll never tell that Sirius was coming on to her — because she wants to wait to see how he reacts to the idea of them knowing others here before she actually names names. )
