With a whispered, "You... heinous... bitch," out of bloodless lips, Briar collapsed on top of Hermione - the dagger sandwiched between them. Hermione knew the woman had seconds only, knew that Briar's heart was beating as wildly as Hermione's own, forcing more blood out of the vital, open, artery. She'd be dead in moments. Tilting her head to the side, nose brushing Briar's bright blonde hair, Hermione murmured, "Tell your mother I said hello when you join her in hell." A watery gurgle was all the response she got before she felt Briar's chest stop moving, body a heavy weight over her.
