Harry Wakes Up and Remembers Ron's Departure and Return

Harry Potter wakes up and, for a few seconds, forgets about Ron Weasley's departure. He hopes it was all a dream but quickly remembers that Ron has left for good. Harry notices Ron's empty bunk, which feels like a reminder of his absence. Harry prepares for the day in silence, avoiding looking at Ron's bed, while Hermione Granger, busy in the kitchen, also avoids making eye contact with him. Both of them are emotionally affected by Ron's Departure and Return.
