Following Rabastan's rather dramatic death, Fenrir was able to convince Hermione to stay in his cottage one more night. Truthfully, she was grateful that she didn't have to rush out of there to find another hiding place because she didn't know where she could go. Having to rely on others to keep her safe was becoming a tedious chore. She didn't like it at all. In the past she was more than capable of taking care of herself. It was why she became a Death Eater after all. She'd grown so tired of being weak and afraid that becoming one of the Dark Lord's followers offered her the chance to not have to live in constant fear. It had been a heady feeling, one that she was beginning to miss.
