Hermione returned to her daily routine, reading in the parlour with Narcissa, gardening, and generally not doing very much else. When she asked if she might see the library, Lucius paled and shook his head. "A lot of the books in there are cursed. Someone with your blood status would not be able to step into the room without the residual cursed energy making you unwell. If you require any books, ask one of us to fetch them for you." She had then handed him a list. The next morning the books had been left on her bedside table.
