Rodolphus wasn't gentle. Much like he used to treat her body when he wanted her to be well aware of the fact that he held complete control over her, he moved through her brain in the same manner. Even through the pain, Hermione knew that she couldn't allow herself to forget anything. The urge to float away was losing to the shrill nagging reminding her to be strong. Because he was inside her mind, she could also feel his frustration. Without warning or any preparation, Rodolphus ripped his consciousness out of hers. The searing pain overpowered even the numbness. Hermione cried out, fearing that she would soon pass out from the pain.
