She was already in bed when Draco finally returned. It was the longest stretch of time he'd been gone at one time since she'd been there after her attack. Either something important was happening or he was just that determined to avoid his houseguest who'd clearly over-stayed her welcome. Hermione was more inclined to believe the latter. Not that she really understood the first thing about the man nor had she ever. One moment he was claiming he was falling in love with her and the next he was betraying her to his uncle. Either the wizard was even more contradictory than she was or he was playing a game she didn't understand the rules to.
