[The kitchens have been good to him and given him plenty of soup and
jujube tea, but it's just not as good as when Hermione is there with the
soup. It's a synergistic thing, he's sure of it.]
Well, one of us has to have our head on straight. We can get you there, heal you up a bit and rest and then make it a nice little home away from home. What do you think?
[ Hermione arrives not long later, looking a little haggard and sad. She spots him and, without any hesitation, wraps her arms around him, burying her face in his chest. ]
[ As he holds her, he doesn't say anything much. Just quiet, soothing words meant to offer comfort for both of them. His voice is still torn up and his breath smells like something sweet and medicinal.
[ Hermione has to give herself a few moments; she knows now isn't the time to mourn and she'll probably act much like she had travelling around England, burying her sorrows in her pillows and trying to put on a brave face for Harry, but right now she needs him and he's there. Eventually, she manages to lean back and grabs his hand, squeezing it gently. ]

Honestly, I can't send that long a message on Patronus, I'm nowhere near as good as you with them. I need you to do some Hermione-sitting, maybe.

[See? He took precautions.]
But if you want to look sternly at me and demand I eat soup, I'd be so grateful.

Re: audio;
Why are you so good to me?

I can apparate, but are you sure it's ...
[Look, he doesn't want to cast aspersions on the lovely Seelie court, but he's not too sure he's welcome there.]
You pick the place and I'll be there. I need to bring a bird with me.

Re: audio;
I don't know how much magic I've got in me at the moment, but I'd love to see it.
[There's a dry, rough laugh that sounds as if it hurts.]
Look at you, moving up the property ladder.

Re: audio;
I've really missed having a proper home. I'll meet you at the Station?
[He is not having her come to Scima to fetch him.]

Re: audio;
[And in due course, Harry can be found at their usual meeting spot. He looks well, if a bit tired, and there's a large crow perched nearby.]

Ron's gone.

I'm so sorry. Are you sure that he's gone-gone?
[ What if he's kidnapped by dwarves or unicorns or ...? ]

His room's empty and I can't message him. I stopped by on my way over...

Maybe we should go see my house?

I'd love that. And you know that no matter where I am, I've always got time and space for you. No matter what you need or what or even just fancy.

Come on. Can he apparate?

[ They agreed on a gender and are still working on the rest. It's a drawn out negotiation. ]
Lead the way.
