The battle went on for some time, until only two beasts remained. At this point Harry and Hermione joined forces with Thor and Loki, the four of them easily bringing the second to last one to its death. Hermione stepped back then, breathlessly watching as Thor beat the final monster into submission. Loki then sliced open its throat, a look of pure glee on his features as the black blood drenched his hands. It terrified her to see him in such a state, but she knew well the evil that lurked behind his loving façade. She felt it sometimes, trying to climb its way out of her very soul.
