Hermione groans audibly as soon as she sees yet more Red Templars. A Gryffindor she might be, but she can go quite some time without ever seeing anything red again, thank you.

She hangs back, not at all confident in her abilities, especially since she's just barely caught her breath from the first fight. If she'd known that that had only been a prelude, she would have opted to walk all the way back to Skyhold and leave all this behind.

But now isn't the time for would haves or for getting a quick breather. There are not one but two Templars headed her way, and it's all she can think to do to quickly cast a Shield Charm in front of her. She can feel it tremble as both Templars hit it, and she knows it won't hold; in fact, one of them recovers from the ricochet of the invisible shield faster than the other and manages to charge forward. Though she'd been trying to keep the more dangerous spells at bay, that clearly isn't an option right now, and so she cries out, "Confringo!" The spell causes a loud, fiery blast as it connects with something, and unfortunately that something is close enough to Hermione that she's forced back by the explosion as well, grunting as she lands hard on her back.
