Hermione felt her heart jolt as the Blood Magic they had been utilising was suddenly drawn back inside of her. She reached forward, gripping Draco’s arm, more in an attempt to steady herself from a new dizziness that was beginning to take hold of her. Draco’s chest was also heaving with tension; he finally lowered his shoulders having completed the curses he set out to end Percy with. Hermione's insides ached with a soreness; she had never felt anything like this kind of exhaustion after harnessing magic. It felt like the arteries in her heart were being stretched.
