Possibly out of hopes that she might divulge her activities if he lingered long enough, Antonin didn't rush out of the cottage on any mysterious missions for most of the day as he usually did. He remained very close to his wife, as if there was any other option in the too-small house, waiting to see if she would let anything slip. It would've been amusing if it wasn't also frustrating. By mid-afternoon, he gave up long enough to visit their friends in St. Mungo's. When he asked if she wanted to come with him, Hermione shook her head. Visiting anyone in the hospital was depressing enough, but she feared Rodolphus might have a trap set for her if she tried. Antonin seemed to accept her explanation even if it wasn't that convincing.
