At first, it seemed odd. Malfoy hadn’t been at Hogwarts for days. Now that they were in higher education, students could leave school grounds. The rules were a lot less strict. But then a whole week went by and he wasn’t there. Not that it mattered to her. She spent her days adapting her own potion with the blood theory. Hermione sighed at the amount of work she still had to do on it. Back at a regular sleeping schedule, she was able to get her homework done, work on her potion, and attend classes again. At night, she would go into the woods and practice dueling for an hour. She started to get slightly better at it and it helped with her anger.
