She wasn't sure when the confusion really began, when her mind really started to feel the strain of a difficult life. Some would argue that her issues started when she was locked for so long in that broom cupboard. While Hermione would be the first to admit that she struggled in her confining prison with fear and desperation, she never felt confused. Each moment that passed she knew exactly where she was and why she was there. When she was taken out of the cupboard and presented to the Dark Lord, she wasn't confused. Terrified beyond all belief, naturally, but not confused. Even when she stayed in the same spot in Antonin's kitchen for forty-eight hours, she wasn't confused.
