With the Resistance, however, she didn't feel comfortable walking amongst them. She wasn't sure how exactly, but it seemed that magic was used freely in their corner of Devon without fear of reprisal. Either the Ministry never bothered with them because of their location or they had figured out a way around the trace. Considering they had been over a hundred miles away from the area when Ginny cast her patronus to warn Draco of her imminent arrival to their tent in the forest, Hermione assumed it was the latter. That was one of the few reasons she stayed. Perhaps, if she lingered long enough, she would learn how to tap into her magic without her husband being immediately alerted to her presence.
