The house was completely silent. After checking to see if he might have slipped into the shower when he woke up, Hermione exited the bedroom they'd been sharing since the first night she arrived. No sounds wafted down the corridor from the other parts of the house. If she hadn't had an instinct that she wasn't alone, she might have assumed that he had been summoned again or he was outside for a walk. Careful to not make a sound herself, she continued towards the kitchen, her heart pounding in her ears.
