Hermione found her desire to talk to her husband strange and unnerving. As much as she was convinced her mission would be easier if he pretended like she wasn't there, she found herself actually missing their conversations. An entire year on the run and she didn't want to have a single conversation with him. A week back in their house and she couldn't bear the continued silent treatment. She wanted to know what was wrong with the man she married, why he was avoiding her, what he meant in their conversation that started the whole rocky patch, and she had about a dozen other questions to ask.
