"It happened last night," Hermione began, staring at her hands, then at the fire in the hearth. "Crabbe and Pucey came to the Malfoy Manor—I’m not sure why exactly, nobody told me, although I think they wanted to see me and mock me, but—they brought someone else with them." She looked at Pansy. "You. At first, I didn’t notice it was you, you were wearing this huge cloak and there was a hood on your head... Then, Crabbe took it off, and I immediately recognized you, even though you didn’t look at me as if you didn’t even see me... Then he... The High Reeve... He started torturing you with Cruciatus... You recognized him, you spoke his name, begging him for mercy, but he kept going... I couldn’t watch, I wanted to stop him, but he immobilized me, and all I could do was watch as he—as he killed you..." Hermione finished with a sob.
