Once sealed inside the cage, the boys levitated the iron frame back to Dennis’s handcart. Hermione couldn’t help but notice that Dennis was forced to make the trip back to the castle alone, straining hard to push her up the hilly grounds back to the Death Eater Central in the Castle. She could intuit that he would be in trouble if he delayed in relaying her back to her next appointment, as he broke into a half-run once they reached the pathway leading to the main courtyard. Hermione worried about his haste, she could tell that Dennis’s only desire was to get rid of her as soon as he possibly could, Hermione pondered was this a reflection on her presence or the likelihood that Dennis had a inkling about who and what she was facing next.
