Marianne:

As usual I'm a few days behind, so forgive me if somebody else wrote this or wrote about it already.

DH. Hard Back American book.  P. 313

"The instant they arrived, Hermione dropped Harry's hand and walked away from him, finally sitting down on a large rock, her face on her knees, shaking with what he knew were sobs.  He watched her,supposing that he ought to go and comfort her..............  Harry strode off through the heather, walking in a large circle with the distraught Herminone at its center, casting the spells she usually preformed to ensure their protection."

I left some sentences out.
