Duel between Hermione Granger and Fenrir Greyback

The Duel between Hermione Granger and Fenrir Greyback was a brief clash during the Battle of Hogwarts. After witnessing the mauling of fellow Hogwarts student Lavender Brown, Hermione Granger fought against Fenrir Greyback and his gang of Snatchers plus Death Eaters. In the end, Greyback was either killed or injured when Hermione blasted him with a spell.

Background


When Lord Voldemort attacked Hogwarts Castle in order to kill Harry Potter, he was aided by a group of Snatchers led by Fenrir Greyback and Scabior. Although the latter was killed during the Skirmish at the Covered Bridge, the Protego Maxima defensive shield conjured by Minerva McGonagall and others collapsed due to Voldemort's bombardment of the shield. Fenrir came upon a Hogwarts student named Lavender Brown, and attacked her ferociously.

Duel


After Harry Potter located Voldemort at the boathouse, he was accompanied by his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The three ran through the battlefield to try and reach Voldemort before he escaped. Hermione found that Lavender was being mauled by Fenrir, and drew her wand as both Fenrir and his Snatcher-Death Eater minions approached her. After a short duel in which many of the Snatchers were killed, she blasted Fenrir away from the body of Lavender Brown, either killing or defeating him.

Aftermath
Lavender Brown had an unknown fate; in the movie it appears that she was either killed or stunned. Greyback was blasted out the window behind him, probably also killed or defeated. What is clear is that the fight ended in a victory for Hermione.
