After the debacle at the Ministry, Hermione is in the infirmary, having been affected by Dolohov's curse. A dark and unknown curse. Desirous of helping his friend, Harry is going to research Dark Curses, how to create them and how to undo them. Hermione, meanwhile, emerges from the infirmary, with a huge scar from the curse that hasn't healed nicely.
In the summer Harry decides to go to Grimmauld place again. He abhors the place; alone in the dark house without Sirius, with no company but that of a treacherous, nasty house-elf, but he likes to do this for Hermione. At Grimmauld Place, Harry locks himself in the library and continues to search for similar curses and fragments. He reads the most terrible books and these should horrify him. And they do disgust him. Really. But he devours the books and manages to memorize them faster than any book he had ever read. An obsession is born. After four weeks he finds out what kind of curse it is and also how to cure it. But instead of rushing directly to Hermione, he smugly writes a letter to Dolohov:
I have deciphered your purple curse.
Regards, Harry J. Potter.
