"They really are. The twins are brilliant," she says, wincing. "You know what I mean. Ginny is better than most of them, and Percy even makes Ron look positively dense," she says, shaking her head. "How did anyone believe I loved him of my own free will? Honestly?"
God but that just disgusts her to think about. He was fine as a friend but as the man she spent her life with? No.
Hermione can't help but laugh at that, glad for having Harry at her side as she reaches out, patting his cheek. "Oh, Darling, you never would have made it past your first year," she admits, winking at him, a bit drunk and a lot cheeky. "They are all so lucky I liked you a lot," she says, hating that those words feel like so much more. More that she's not sure is right to put on Harry right now. Not with what all he's dealing with as well.
"Isn't that the truth though. I had hoped by the time my kids were old enough to go to school it would be better but..." It's one thing the love potion hadn't taken from her but she realizes now that despite it all, some of the Weasleys might well still see her that way. Molly and her husband included.
