Hermione's steps faltered as she saw who lay on the ground, the Weasley's crowding around his motionless body. Her eyes saw the truth but her brain refused to believe it.

She stood, tears threatening to spill over but she held them in.

Hermione quickly rushed back out of the room, her feet falling out from underneath her as she collapsed to the ground. Arms encircled her, rocking her back and forth as she cried.
