After dinner, Hermione decided to go for a walk. She just wanted time alone to think.
Bidding them goodnight, in the guise of going home, she went out to the woods behind the Burrow. The night air was cold and crisp, and she had to pull her cloak around herself to keep warm. She could hear the leaves and twigs cracking beneath her feet as she walked, and she relished in the natural silence.
"Hermione!" an all too familiar voice called from behind her.
She gave him credit for following her, but still she called without turning, "Go home Severus."
