She hadn't seen Rodolphus since before she ran away from the Resistance. In the almost five years since he defected, he had not once returned to Hogsmeade. At least not to her knowledge. For the animagus to appear in her back garden to sit calmly in the middle waiting to be recognized, something must be up. Her first thought was that something terrible happened to Draco. Why else would Rodolphus risk exposure to travel this far? Almost as soon as she thought it was Draco, she dismissed that idea. Rodolphus made it perfectly clear when they were in Devon that he wanted her to stay away from his nephew. A visit like this would go against his wishes. When it was evident that he wasn't leaving, Hermione turned away from the window to look at her son reading one of his books at the table.
