Avoiding Rodolphus in the small Dower House was a lot easier than Hermione assumed it would be. Following the rather violent end to their almost sexual encounter, she'd been trying to stay out of his way. Not that he minded her hiding in her bedroom and even taking her meals at odd times of the day to avoid meeting him in the dining room. He seemed perfectly content to forget for the present that there was another soul inside his house. Neither of them appeared to be looking forward to changing their current circumstances at any time soon.
