Though Hermione had managed to cull most of his following a few stragglers remained, but none attempted to take his place. She heard whispers now and then that a small remaining faction still worshiped the Dark Lord and Lady, that they had not attended the event for one reason or another and so didn’t know what happened but still strongly believed that their Dark Lord and Lady would return. She debated on whether she should kill them too or not, and tried to keep tabs on their doings, but they were elusive, and as far as she knew they were only too content to sit and wait for something to happen. Deciding that they posed no true threat, Hermione dismissed them entirely.
