Hermione spent the next few days in the lab, coming back up to her bedroom only to sleep. Upon request, Mipsy brought all her meals down there, which Hermione would swallow up without moving away from whatever potion she was making. She reveled in the quality of the lab, enjoying how spacious and up to date it was. She loved that she finally got the chance to try out the potions she’s been trying to make but never had the resources for them back at Hogwarts. The fact that there was no one – specifically Snape – looming over her shoulders, criticizing most of what she tried to do or trying to push her away and do it themselves. She had the whole place to herself, and that was the best part. Of course, the was always a chance the High Reeve might come down here whenever he wished – this was his home after all – but so far, he hadn’t.
