Harry met Hermione’s amused gaze as she laughed and stood up. “Relax, Ron. It’s just the phone. It must be my parents. They said they would ring.”

The angst is strong with this chapter. Or the 'drama'. Or the 'self-reflection'. Anyway, Harry's certainly doing a lot of thinking.
One of the many horribly simplistic bits of writing of Rowling's in book 7 was the 'ike a sister' line. She wrote it out of the blue. The way Harry said it ... having *never* discussed girls, or Hermione, with Ron before - just made it one more bit of artificial writing. Harry blurting it out in the forest as a convenience for a lazy author.
I think their talk here is much more believable.
“Hermione’s not my sister,” Harry blurted out unthinkingly, with a vehemence that shocked him.
Hee. :-)
Well, at least his subconscious has worked things out!
Wondering what's up with Hermione's parents?
