Whereas everyone else in the group seems to consist of seasoned fighters, Hermione feels as though this is her very first go in the middle of a fight. It might as well be, for all the good she can do against Red Templars. She hadn't liked them when she'd first been spat out of a rift in the middle of them and demons and members of the Inquisition, and she's certainly not a fan of them now.

People in this world are used to fights culminating in bloodshed, but Hermione is still reluctant to actually use her magic quite so violently. She knows it can't always be avoided, but she has no stomach for it, and so the least she can do is make it a little easier for her comrades to do whatever they feel needs to be done.

Stunning spells rarely work on most of the creatures here, but since Red Templars are - ... were human, she calls out a quick, "Stupefy," a bright red flash shooting from the tip of her wand and heading straight for one of the Red Templars that were charging towards them. Without taking a second to see if it would strike or have much of an impact, she immediately turns her attention to another Red Templar, crying out, "Petrificus Totalus!" It would be nice to be confident enough in her magic here to be able to do wordless spells, but in the mean time, she wants to be sure that she can keep their opponents from getting too close to anyone who might not be ready on the offensive.
