That seemed truth, since there were three girls with them, all of them younger than Hermione. She recognized two of them from Hogwarts, they were muggle-borns, both of them only first years when Hermione was in her sixth year. She did the math and realized those girls weren’t of legal age even in wizarding terms. She did not recognize the third girl but she could tell the girl was a muggle because the usual magic intrinsic to the wizarding folk was not emanating from her. All three girls seemed frightened and scared, keeping their heads down and their shoulders slouched. Except unlike Hermione, they weren’t faking their fear.
