As they entered the courtyard, Hermione saw the looming figure of Greyback fighting with his bare hands, attacking students, flinging their limp bodies to the ground. As he snuck up behind Lavender, who was facing off against a masked Death Eater beside Hannah Abbott, he grabbed the blonde Gryffindor and tossed her to the ground. Hermione blasted Greyback off Lavender, just as the werewolf pounced and bit down on her old dorm mate's shoulder. She sent up a silent prayer as she continued past as she couldn't stop to see if Lavender had survived, Hermione could only hope that she did.
