Hermione couldn't even muster up enough false sympathy to put on a show. Nothing would ever make her pretend to be upset that the awful wizard was dead. It should've happened sooner, in her opinion. She thought it was a shame that she hadn't been able to kill him before she had to suffer the indignities of his hands and lips on her body. Just thinking about the day she killed Rita in his office made her entire body shudder. For once she was grateful that Rita Skeeter felt the need to be so nosy. If she hadn't taken it upon herself to sneak into her boss" office against his knowledge to eavesdrop on what was happening inside the room, Hermione wouldn't have had the perfect opportunity to bash the woman into a pulp with her shoe. And, even more disgusting, she would've actually had to go through Albert's seduction. The thought made her skin crawl.
