Following Charlie's suggestion that Hermione do what she could to earn Rodolphus" trust and try to bring him down from the inside, she'd thought of little else. When Rodolphus made the initial invitation that she move in with him into the Dower House, she thought he was more than a little insane. The very thought was terrifying to her. How could she possibly spend every waking moment around the man who mucked about in her mind for so long? She couldn't possibly relax enough around him to sleep. It was complete madness. And it wouldn't take long before Rodolphus assumed that he had full access to her body again. She wasn't sure she could handle him touching her like he used to. Not after she learned what he'd done to her for so long.
