It had never been Hermione's intention to humiliate the poor man with her questions. Sometimes she was inappropriate when it came to asking questions in what should have been a polite conversation. Her husband had a signal and a code phrase he used when he felt she was traveling down an impertinent or rude path. After working for so many years as an interrogator, what was acceptable to ask an acquaintance over cocktails at a dinner party seemed to become less and less clear. She was used to no subject being off-limits, no question taboo. Antonin would always gently squeeze her elbow and ask the poor victim of his wife's exuberance just how young was too young for a little boy to get a puppy because no one in the Dolohov family could ever agree.
