She may be really good at everything, but that doesn't mean Hydra ought to have chosen her to tag along to the meeting with Bellatrix. If she'd been caught, consequences would be much worse for Hermione than someone like me. Might it be that my concern for Hermione's well-being seems foreign and strange, because of the way I grew up, and because of my previously held beliefs?

Though I agree that expressing doubt that Hermione could handle the situation was probably an insult to her capabilities.

I sound cross with a lot of people. That's not new. SHE always sounds cross with me, too, if you've noticed.

Right. Good. That's what I need to know - that no one else would ever make such an accusation against me, not ever.
