Her appearance for the second time in a week caused less of a disturbance than her first. The witch at the reception desk didn't even speak to her, just tried her best to avoid eye contact as Hermione made her way confidently towards the office of the Editor-in-Chief. Not even Alecto stepped out of her space to bother her. She thought at first that the bitch just hadn't arrived yet, but when she passed her office to see Alecto glaring at her through the open door, she realized that wasn't the case at all. Maybe Rodolphus ordered her to stay away from Hermione. If so, it was almost enough of a reason to kiss him again.
