The moment he closed the door to the corridor, Hermione knew she was well and truly fucked. If he didn't linger too long and just got straight to the point of his visit, no one would interrupt him before he was done. When he taunted her, she tried to remove all traces of the fear that she was feeling from her face. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction. He'd probably been excited the moment he heard about her attack and found out she was in St. Mungo's. No doubt it was a big news story. Rita Skeeter must not have wasted any time writing another disgusting article about her. Maybe she would even put a fun spin on it accusing Hermione of being the one who murdered Hannah. Probably even used jealousy as a motive. Hannah had the marriage that Hermione only wished she had. Of course, how she could explain Hermione's own subsequent attack would be interesting to discover. Rita could be quite creative when the situation called for it.
