Draco looked over at the fire blazing softly in the hearth. He had not spoken to his mother about the animagus transformations much more than telling her he was a Dragon of some sort. He wanted Hermione present when Narcissa answered their questions. Hermione was almost more curious about it all than he was. As for her joining them at the manor, Narcissa seemed positively delighted at having the two women come to stay. She spent the first week of the break fixing a room for Hermione and Luna to share at Draco’s request. He assumed she would not want to be alone in the Manor where she did not know her way around. Since his mother had not asked whether Hermione and he were dating he assumed she did not know and so Hermione would not be able to just stay in his room. She had made the point very clear that they were to remain several feet apart at all times and only speak to each other in a friendly tone around Narcissa.
