Over the next two weeks, Hermione studied for her exams with the various tutors. Snape offered insightful critiques of her technique. Rabastan reviewed Herbology with her in the Malfoy gardens and greenhouses. Rodolphus rapidly demanded various transfigurations of objects, animals, himself, and herself. She found it hardest to allow Lucius or Antonin Dolohov to assist with Charms and Defense. Strangely, Rodolphus helped her feel comfortable with them. He encouraged her to give them the benefit of the doubt and promised to remain for the lessons if that would make her feel more confident.
