Hermione adjusted the strap of her bag, sliding it over her shoulder as a heavy silence settled between them. "Before you go, there is one other thing I'd like to do, if you'll allow it," Draco said suddenly. Hermione cocked her head to the side, eyebrows raised. If she didn't know better, she'd have thought he was nervous. "I want to add you to the Manor's wards, so you can come and go as you please. Since you aren't a Malfoy by blood or marriage you won't be able to bring anyone with you, but it's much easier than sending you individualised portkeys."
