To bring me Potter, retrieve my lost hostages, and to kill anyone else in the house. As you can see, he has only brought me the Lovegood girl. He has failed." Hermione knew this was going to end painfully, most likely for herself. She was his punishment, but she couldn’t help being proud of him. In failing Voldemort, he had proven himself to her.
