Hello guys. I am back. Thank you decadenceofmysoul for your review. This is where we left.

"Rosey did your master eat?"

"Master not want to be disturbed. He is in his study. He is not eating"

"Ok Rosey"

With that Hermione ate the meal and fell into a deep slumber.

When she woke up she realised that quite a bit of time had passed, Antonin still wasn't here. She felt a bit uneasy. And decided to go check on him.

Hermione knocked on his study's door. But got no reply. She waited for a moment before knocking again. Only to realize that the door was locked but without any security charms. A simple alohomora did the work neatly and the door sprang open. She entered and the sight shocked her. Whatever she had expected this wasn't it.

The floor was full of broken glass pieces and Antonin sat on the floor with a glass half filled with some drink which she guessed was alcohol. She slowly made her way towards him and crouched down.

"Antonin are you fine" knowing that she had asked a very stupid question. But it seemed like her mind had stopped working.

"I-i a-a-am f-fi-ne. G-go a-aw-ay, I don' ne-eed a'one." He slurred.

Hermione wondered what she should do. Deciding that letting him sleep was the best solution she said

"Why don't we go to your room so you can rest"

"R-res-t w-w-why?"

"Please Antonin." Was all she replied.

When she saw him slightly nod,she asked him to get up. He was heavy. With the body and all. But they somehow managed. She was able to take him to their room and soon he was asleep. She decided to sleep in too.

The next morning Antonin was the first one to get up. He woke up with a pounding headache. But by now he had gotten used to it. He was able to think clearly even with a headache. He realized the position he was in. He had a witch in his arms and her hair was all over the pillow and the slightly shorter bits were tickling his neck. The situation in itself wasn't a new one. But what surprised him was when he released his arms she didn't move back, as she generally did. It seemed as a good development. Antonin went and freshened up.

Till he had returned she had woken up and was staring at the wall. He cleared his throat to gain her attention. He wanted to speak, to console, to hug her, to tell her everything, but he just couldn't. So he decided to go with a simple apology. "I am sorry for what happened yesterday"

She was surprised but her being her she replied back,"okay" and went to freshen up.

A few more days passed by, their routine slightly changed. They had started having a few conversations here and there. Hermione had gotten more comfortable, and Antonin was happy with that. But she did wonder why he did not seem like a normal death eater. She wondered many things but she just couldn't figure out anything. That is when she decided that she would keep a diary. She decided to ask Rosey.

"Rosey"

A popping sound came followed by, "Mistresss calling"

"Rosey, i want a diary. You know to write. Empty one. Could you please get it without telling Antonin."

"Rosey can't mistress. Rosey must inform master."

"Please Rosey" but Rosey refused.

So Hermione said, "ok umm let it be."

She went back to her routine. Her daily routine was going to the library and reading for a couple hours. Crying for a couple hours thinking about her misfortune and cursing her fate, destiny and all. Today she had one more reason to cry. Hell, she couldn't even get one diary to write. She realised that she was worse than a prisoner. While thinking all these things there came a knock on the door. She quickly wiped her tears and tear stains and said come in. But her voice did not hide the fact that he had been crying, thats why it didn't Antonin even a minute to figure it out. He had come to call her for lunch.

Lunch was a quite affair. After lunch Antonin went out to Katya and Orlov to talk to them. He told them about all that happened.

"I just don't know what i should do, say. I am trying then why is she crying. I have kept my anger in control. Merlin, i am not able to figure out anything. Maybe she will never see me the way i see her." Was what he concluded after his vent. He had glossy eyes by the time he finished.

Orlov was thinking but Katya replied,

"You really shouldn't lose hope. There must be a reason why she was crying. Have you tried to find ouut what makes her comfortable and what doesn't. Do that, it must be so hard for her. For her this is like being held captive. With a little bit of more good things. But the essence does not change."

Orlov who had been quite said,"Perhaps it wasn't the first time she cried. She might have been crying often its just you found out today. Ask Rosey about what she does. Grill her about every single thing she does. Then find out what she likes, but not from outside. Ask her talking will resolve your conflicts."

Conversation between Antonin and Rosey

"Rosey"

"Yes master"

"Tell me the whole schedule of Hermione."

"Sir mistress waking up, get fresh and then she cry in the wardrobe. Then she having breakfast with yous and then she go to library and she read then she again cry and then she eat lunch with you and then she again cry and read then in the evening she talk with you then she cry before her supper and go to sleep.

"Is there any reason why she cries?"

"Rosey not know about everyday but today mistress asking Rosey for dairy and Rosey refusing saying Rosey will ask her master and then give, so mistress sad and she telling that Rosey not ask anything to master."

"Dairy?!" Was what they all exclaimed.

"Yes master, mistress wanted to write in it."

"Oh a diary, fine i will get one."

Antonin bid good byes to Oleg and Katya. He brought a beautiful diary and went back.

He had it wrapped in a silver paper as he remembered her mention that she liked gray colour.

I want you all to comment guys. I find it hard to write so i have decided that i will ask a question in each chapter. To help the story proceed. Please answer. I beg you.

Also Hermione has been a strong charecter but now she has only darkness she is not having anything not even her wand. Therefore due to the hopelessness of the charecter she is shown to be crying. Plus i believe embracing your problems is a wonderful way to solve them. Her crying will be elucidated in th further chapters

Todays question. What is your favourite colour
