Next he directed two other minions to keep the prisoner at close wand point, each wizard directed to perform alternating petrificus totalus curses at 20 minute intervals. Hermione could feel her anxiety rising, these snatchers were well drilled and disciplined, efficient in their actions and with redundancies built into their tactics. She couldn’t see any ready chinks in their plans, they truly were leaving nothing to chance.
