The look was a bit comical, but as someone who was a bit of a brain, Martha understood such a deep and earnest look so she didn't hold it against the girl. Actually, there was very little Martha would hold against Hermione really. There were just too many memories and associations with someone who was just like her.
There would always be a part of her that loved those wizarding books.
The glance to the ring was noted, and Martha wasn't surprised really. Martha was exceptionally bad at hiding her marriage, even when it had been in her best interest to do so. Of course there was a part of her that wondered if it was in her best interested to do so now, but if Severus trusted Hermione, Martha would as well.
When Hermione asked if she could sit down, Martha nodded, and she reached out for the girl, one hand brushing her arm. "Of course. Are you alright?" A subtle, and gentle touch as Martha's fingers reached for her pulse, trying to find it.
