The entire morning Bellatrix had been training Hermione hard. She was far from ready for any kind of intense combat, with Bellatrix being the one assigned to train her to potentially become worthy of the title "Death Eater". Hermione was far from ready to fight her lifelong friends and become one with those she saw as an enemy for as long as she could remember. Perhaps it was the Dark lord's mistake to have tasked her to become stronger when there was still doubt in her mind whether she had truly chosen the right path. Regardless, hermione had to take up the torch and try to fight level with these people she now shared walls with.
