Terrified out of her wits, Pansy said nothing at all to anyone, and acted with copious deference towards Hermione whenever she saw her. She carried her bags for her, returned library books to shelves when she was finished with them, saved her treats from dessert, and generally did anything and everything she could think of to curry favour. It was enough to draw questions about the sudden about-face, but Pansy’s unconvincing lies about how she’d simply realised what a great witch Hermione was were not believed by most Slytherins who heard them. The fear in her eyes wasn’t hidden well enough by the smile plastered on her face.
