The slow lingering torture of awaiting her fate was cruel. She had noted her lead torturer had ordered full restraints, but apart from the contact of the body-bind curse, her new jailers seemed more concerned about rummaging through large chests of indeterminate items rather then explaining about what was about to happen. She could hear the eager tones of some of the snatchers discussing "new toys’ from the "Engineer’ in awed and fervid tones. The commanders in the group remained more worried about their wand-power, cataloguing each wand and snatcher, making triple-sure every weapon was accounted for and that defensive formations were maintained both within and without the protected area. They monitored the snatcher tasked with keeping the body-bind curse active. All the snatchers were complicit in ensuring that escape would not be possible. Hermione would not be allowed the casual sight of a wand until she was fully bound and secured.
