This time Hermione had asked to be the one to take Malfoy his lunch instead of having the job foisted upon her. She wanted to make sure Harry had made good on his word to make the cellar at least liveable for Malfoy; she didn’t trust him not to have forgotten something important, whether on purpose or by accident. Hermione would never normally suspect Harry to treat a person badly, prisoner or not. But this was Malfoy, and somehow Hermione suspected Harry and Ron might think the rules were different where "the ferret’ was concerned. Mrs Weasley opened the trapdoor for Hermione and she picked her way down the steep steps carefully, peering into the dim space, lunch tray held in both hands.
