Malfoy doesn't start sleeping in the bed with her again, like Hermione had hoped, and she doesn't feel she has the right to ask. She gets used to sleeping alone over the days that follow, ticking by toward a fortnight's worth. They still both have nightmares, but after the one suffering the nightmare has been soothed, the other leaves them, going back to their own lonely bed. Hermione hates it, this disentanglement he's forcing on them both, even as she understands his need to do so. She is going home, to everybody she has missed so desperately since she was first taken, and he is remaining here alone. It will be harder for him.
