Hermiones thoughts in Italics!

Chapter 5

"Well, as you know, it was me that murdered Dumbledore…"No crap! Go on, try and justify his death…
"…but I did not want to. When he was with Harry doing god-knows-what, he happened to drink both a poison and the draught of living death…" Oh yeah, how do you know? As if reading her thoughts, he began to speak again.
"…he used legimency to tell me about what was happening. When he returned to the Astronomy Tower with Harry, he froze Harry, who was under his invisibility cloak, and Draco barged in on him.

"Now I know that sounds absurd, but it's true. I have never wanted to be his servant, my allegiance is to Dumbledore. The Dark Lord has never heard the whole prophecy, I only told him the first half of the prophecy to prove my allegiance to Dumbledore." Oh my god! That's why Dumbledore believed that you were on the goods side. It all clicks!
"Well, here goes the next part of my hellish confession…
