Hermione felt sorry for her ex-lover. After finally getting out of his first horrible marriage, he jumped right into another with a woman that was even nastier. But, she did promise to make him a widower early on. Once Augustus was allowed to be a part of Rodolphus" plans, she would get rid of his pesky inconvenience of a wife. Maybe after Alecto's untimely death he could move on and find a woman he loved that could love him back the way he deserved. That woman certainly wasn't Hermione. She would bring him nothing but even more misery. Possibly even more than both of the other women he'd already married combined.
