Snape looked at the dental implants that would soon be installed, neither Dr Granger thought to inquire why after removing a pristine set of adult teeth, they were tasked with installing a set of flat baby teeth, each one shaved down to a blunt nub and purposely omitting the back molars for an incomplete set of teeth. Henceforth biting and chewing had now been rendered supremely difficult for the sobbing patient as the new set of teeth were a downgraded retrofit. Once the o-ring was temporarily removed Hermione could work her tongue to the now pitiful contours of her diminished teeth, her jaw still abuzz with agony from the entire operation, through her pain and shame she could see no point to Snape’s cruelty.
