She wrinkles her nose at Bull's explanation about demons. Hermione isn't as well up on demonology as she is other subjects, mostly because the Dark Arts has always seemed like an absolutely abhorrent subject that was only worth learning about insofar as defending oneself from it. But demons are only a group of magical creatures, such as grindylows, that are irritating at best and dangerous at worst. They're not so... subversive.

"They sound terrible," she breathes out, not feeling quite so bad about it when even Bull is clearly reviled by the thought.

The more he tells her about circles, the more Hermione bristles, and by the end of it she looks as though she might just explode. "So they're prisoners?!" she blurts out, obviously disgusted by this every bit as much as she is about demons. "But they're just people! People who can use magic! What's the point of them learning to control it if they're expected to spend their entire lives trapped within some... some... 'Circle'?! Who would honestly live like that and think it's for the best? And how do the templars decide that someone is 'out of line'? And what do you mean, they're 'dealt with'?!"

If Bull had any hope the questions would end soon, he'd clearly been mistaken.
