"Dobby, how dare you-how dare you bow to those three?! Don't you know that ugly woman is a Mudblood? You idiot-idiot-idiot!"
Once Draco Malfoy realized that Dobby had just bowed, his face turned purple with rage. Throwing all else aside, he left Snape behind and stormed over, his trunk banging against the floor several times. He even completely ignored Brian's presence as he said through gritted teeth,
"Ah, I see. Mother sent you to fetch me. You're slower than a crawling snail! I'll overlook that idiotic thing you just did for now. Get over here, take my luggage, and come back to the manor with me-you ought to have a few things to report!"
"Oh my God." Once Hermione registered what Malfoy had said, her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. Mudblood, an insult that dragged a person into the depths of the mud-Draco Malfoy had actually called her a Mudblood in front of all these people!

"Apologize to Hermione, Malfoy!"

A powerful surge of magic sent him flying backward like a kite with a snapped string, straight toward Snape, whose mouth kept twitching. Snape reached out and slapped Malfoy hard
