Hermione sighed, knowing where their conversation was going. It was always going to be only a matter of time before the news of her visit got back to Draco. He'd disappeared for several hours the night before. No doubt he'd run off to talk to Rodolphus and his little traitorous mates. He probably hoped that she would slip and tell him the purpose of her visit so he'd have something useful to report back to Rodolphus. It was exhausting being unable to trust the man she was living with. Every word she said was analyzed and every step she made was recorded.
