A restless night did nothing to improve Hermione's mood the next morning. She'd tossed and turned all night getting very little sleep. Her mind was fixated on her visit to the Lestranges" family home. While she was confident that she made the right decision in confronting Gemma and appealing to her as a mother, she did worry about the potential ramifications of the act. Though he certainly never claimed to love his wife and hardly even seemed to tolerate her usually, Rabastan was prickly about his family. If he believed that Hermione posed a threat to his children or even to the woman he never really wanted to marry, he could be unpredictable, even willing to go against his brother's orders to exact retribution. Rabastan adored his children. It was his one redeeming quality.
