"Are you sure?" Minerva pressed. "The Death Eaters didn't have wands?" She wasn't trying to sound mean, she just wanted to make sure.
"Minerva, she said they didn't have wands. They didn't have wands," Severus jumped in protectively.
Minerva looked at him with surprise. He wasn't acting... normal. He was protective and gentle. That wasn't the Severus she knew.
Hermione shook her head. "No wands; no magic."
"Who were they?" Minerva asked.
Hermione shrugged. "They had on their masks."
"The voices– could you recognized the voices?"
Hermione again shook her head. "They were chanting in unison. There was no distinguishing them."
"Who was their captive?" Minerva asked suddenly.
