Hermione would never admit it out loud, but she actually missed Tom. Somehow Malfoy Manor seemed far more intimidating without him around. The house was so vast, and there were always Death Eaters lurking about. She didn’t feel safe, especially knowing that Bellatrix was still around. Though the witch had yet to make any further attempt to harm her, the glares she gave her when they passed each other were enough to unsettle her. She made sure that Draco was with her whenever she left her room.
