Thursday brought a return of a sullen and frustrated Rabastan to their corner of the Ministry of Magic. Relieved that he didn't immediately make some ridiculous remark about their activities the day before when he first entered the office, Hermione went back to ignoring the wizard as best as she could. It was evident from the very beginning that something had him in a terrible mood. When her assistant Rachel walked into their office with a message to pass to the man with red eyes and great big tears in her eyes, Hermione had to bite back a laugh when Rabastan snapped at the girl. She'd forgotten how funny he could be when he was angry.
