It was easier to avoid him when he was acting so strangely. Less chance to get caught up in his temper. After a late breakfast where he refused to even look in her direction, Hermione had had enough. Standing to her feet in a movement that might be considered a tad dramatic, she announced her intention to run a few errands in London. Any excuse to get her away from the infuriating man. Besides, it would give her a chance to check on her potion. She couldn't afford to have another weekend like the one before where she forgot to check on it. Each day that ticked on brought her closer to her goal. It was too reckless to endanger the potion when she was so close to finishing it.
