Anyone who didn't know Antonin Dolohov on a personal level might be surprised to learn that he not only had a fiery temper that terrified his enemies, but he also struggled with fierce and all-consuming jealousy. A great deal set him off. Before they were ordered to marry each other, he was always angry when she would leave the house they lived in together without him. There had been no reason to move out of his home after she'd proven herself to be a loyal Death Eater. He had plenty of space and he certainly wasn't in a rush to fill it with the presence of another witch. Hermione stayed because it was easy. When another young recruit moved into the attic and she took the spare bedroom next to Antonin's, they became almost like peers. She still respected him and had a great deal to learn from him. He, however, had selfish reasons for not suggesting she find different accommodations.
