She finally dragged her to the graveyard by her hair. Literally. She grabbed her hair and forced her to side-along Apparate with her.
Hermione stumbled out of her grip as they arrived, shaking and sobbing. The night air was desperately cold, the wind chilling them to the core.
Pansy kicked aside some rotting pumpkins and yanked Hermione by the arm.
“Don’t do this!” sobbed the girl beside her, but Pansy didn’t listen. She was on a mission.
She shoved her way past the broken gravestones, through the jumble of overgrown weeds, pulling Hermione along, not even stopping as Hermione stumbled and fell.
Finally, Pansy halted. Hermione bumped into her, but Pansy just pointed.
Though the gleam of the moonlight, it was not to be mistaken.

Pansy turned to look beside her. Hermione was staring at the letters as though she had forgotten how to read.
Finally, Hermione moaned — a painful moan that cut Pansy to the quick — and sank to the ground, covering her face with her hands.
Pansy sank down beside her.
“I’m sorry, my pet,” she murmured. “I told you it was true. You are all mine now.”
Hermione didn’t answer, only sobbed in Pansy’s arms.
