"I can tell," Hermione gets out, with a meaningful glance at the women who lie clad in rags and wounds, nothing human left to them at all – just bodies, covered in filth and slowly dying. She isn't accusatory – she can see on his face that he is not accustomed to hurting people in the manner he just hurt her, although she knows he has fought in battles before. She is filled to overflowing with terror that she will become one of the creatures in her cell, despite Malfoy being a sympathiser. A Death Eater sympathiser; what a fucking joke. How has he managed it? To fly under the radar like this, to go unnoticed by Voldemort? Perhaps his age, she thinks – being only nineteen, Voldemort might not expect a great deal from Malfoy yet. Or maybe he has learnt Occlumency skills beyond his years.
