Alice, I am sorry I wasn't able to respond to you last night; I know you must have been frantic, but there was simply too much to see to.
I got it all out of Hermione in the end, and I imagine she'll have her own perspective on the story to share; but as far as I can tell, Amycus Carrow had some kind of plot to have Dean thrown out and Hermione - well, I'd imagine killed, at this point; there would be no mercy for her if she were in deep trouble for magic-working again. But the Slytherin girls of Marvolo's year got wind of it, and somehow arranged to warn Hermione and Dean both, and put spells on them to protect them. This plan appears to have worked well enough, but when Carrow's plot was foiled, he became something of a berserker. Then, to top it all off, the Boot boy had an incidence of uncontrolled magic, which cast the classroom into utter chaos.
I shall, thank God, be able to press more strongly for Carrow's removal from the teaching profession. It is one thing for him to torture Dean Thomas, but the Dark Lord believes that Granger belongs to Marvolo, and he won't be so sanguine about stealing from his son and destroying his son's property.
