The longer she was conscious, the easier it was to hear what was being said. Hermione wasn't able to open her eyes yet or move, however. That didn't bother her. She wanted to keep listening to what they were talking about. What did Rodolphus mean when he said her fall wasn't an accident? She was there. It was that damned top step. Over the years since she moved into the house, she'd lost count the number of times that she'd almost tripped over it. Maybe if she hadn't been taunting Antonin about Andromeda again, she wouldn't have fallen.
