"Harry?" Hermione asked with concern. She still wasn't aware of Harry's situation with Snape.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" Harry inquired gently but with no kindness.
"No, but, you seem strange now, as if I don't know you. You know, you almost seem evil!"
"Evil?" Harry gave a mirthless chortle. "I am not evil. You are just frightened of what could have happened to you had I not been there. Don't worry now, let's go back to the common room." Snape gave a small, delighted snicker and Apparated off to tell the Dark Lord that his mission was complete.
Sulking by Hagrid's cabin was Ron. Still not too happy about being shunned from his friends, he went inside to speak with Hagrid, only to find the groundskeeper facedown on the table.
