   This time, the fighting didn’t feel so long. This time, everything was overshadowed by the dark cloud that literally appeared over Malfoy, swirling like a thunderstorm, darkening the entire hallway. Hermione’s spells had done nothing but slow the Death Eater down. Nothing but to block his spells. But this, this turned all their heads. This was something Hermione had never seen. This was something awfully dark, something awfully strong. Awfully powerful.
