Hermione had gone to do the same thing as her brother and cast a small cutting charm on her palm, but unlike Harry’s, her charm did not sputter out, but instead came out much too powerful, slicing her palm open. She cursed lowly and allowed three drops to land on each of her ring boxes before focusing on stopping the bleeding. Harry, having realized something was up with both of them, stopped her from casting a healing charm and passed her a salve from his bag instead. Having returned the jar back to his backpack when Hermione was done, he summoned a small knife from within it, not wanting to mirror his sister’s situation. He made a small cut on his thumb, pressing down to make the blood pool and drip down onto the boxes.
