So it was that on Sunday afternoon she and Scabior Apparated to the Burrow, though Hermione had continued waffling on whether to go until the last possible moment.  She didn't want another shouting match with Ron, but she wanted to see Ginny and Harry and George, and she didn't want to disappoint the Weasleys. She'd been pretty isolated these last few months, not venturing farther than the relative safety of work, Spinner's End, Malfoy Manor, and Yaxley's estate.  She had hoped Severus would agree to come with her, but as per usual, he was working, and she didn't want to come alone or to bring Yaxley or any of the Malfoys, save maybe Narcissa, so she brought Scabior.
