Goyle gets in on the act next, with rabbit quick punches to Malfoy's lower back as Crabbe holds him still – Goyle is aiming for his kidneys, Hermione supposes weakly, nauseated and horrified as Malfoy cries out soundlessly, still red-faced and unable to get a breath. Then Crabbe yanks Malfoy over double and slams his knee into Malfoy's abdomen, before dragging him upright again by his hair, and spitting in his face, before shoving him back into Goyle's grasp. Malfoy gets his breath back finally, as he falls to the ground after Goyle hits him in the face – enough breath to groan in pain at least, as he tries to get to his feet, barely making it to all fours, spitting blood and trembling.
