Harry stumbled backward, away from her wrath, but his eyes were wide with shock at being treated this way by Hermione. Swallowing thickly, he made as if to reach out and grab hold of her hand but thought better of it at the last second. As his hand dropped away, he whispered, "What's happened to you?" When she made no attempt to immediately reply, he continued, "I'm frightened for you, Hermione. I've never seen you this way before... It's like you're turning into someone else."
