Hermione had been one of the last holdouts. At first, she believed that his orders wouldn't apply to her. After all, she was one his favorites. Often he allowed her to sit on the floor at his feet while every other member of the Inner Circle was forced to remain upright. There had been a time when she actually enjoyed being little more than his pet. She was faithful and loyal. Never questioned his orders. Sought out his approval. She killed and maimed just for the sake of his pleasure.
