The journey home on the Hogwarts Express next day was eventful in several ways. The Slytherin's Magic group and the Dumbledore's Army group got into a duel which left Dumbledore's army hexed beyond recognition. Hermione had taken particular pleasure in hexing Potter with a grey curse that left his nose bleeding. They left the students lying on the floor and left. Soon they were at King's Cross Station, and Hermione left the train with Draco and her friends. They were greeted by the Malfoys, but they looked unusually somber.
