Hally's newfound method of release had brought forth a clarity in her mind during the coming days.
She was glad to not feel as on edge and pent up as she had been.
Unfortunately, the clear mind also brought forth some unpleasant thoughts and a massive sense of regret.
Snape hadn't mentioned their time in the broom cupboard to her and truthfully, she was too ashamed of her actions to bring them up and apologize to him directly.
She desperately wished she could just erase that whole night from her memory; from start to finish.
To her relief, he still allowed her to help him after classes but things had been more than a little off between them. He seemed more clinical and like he was trying to keep his distance from her.

All of them bore the same message in luminous red letters that shone brightly in the dark dungeon.
Support CEDRIC DIGGORY the REAL Hogwarts Champion !
Draco pushed his way past Hermione's stunned stance until he was directly in front of Hally. "Like them, Potter ?' A cruel smile crossed his lips, 'this isn't even all that they can do— watch this !"
Draco pressed the badge into his chest, and the message upon it was replaced by another one that was only two words and glowed green;
