Hermione stumbled over something in the dark, trying to understand what was going on and also trying to find her footing while the High Reeve grasped her arm to the point of pain. He started dragging her out the door, but she yelled, "Wait, at least let me put on some clothes!" while searching for the light switch with her free hand. She found it, and when the light went on, she saw the High Reeve’s face turned to her. If she thought he was angry, she was wrong. He was furious, brutally mad, and for a moment Hermione got scared he might kill her.
