As Tom began the meeting, Hermione stroked Nagini on her head as she hissed her affections to her mother with her head resting upon her breasts, both of them looking on to study the dark knights her brother had amassed. They were loyal, but only by fear, she would have to change that. Her eyes are drawn to Severus directly in front of where she sat and she smiled as she notices he is already looking at her. Next is Draco, he will be next to come around, his mother will follow, and Lucius may be possible once he sees his wife and son. Many of the people at this table may be possible once they see the differences between herself and Tom. She had always been the staunch believer that fear may inspire loyalty without question, but love inspires loyalty in the most life threatening circumstances, and unlike fear, they will stick with you throughout it all without the thought of betraying you.
