True, but it doesn’t have to actually communicate anything to its peers at azkaban. People just need to believe it did. It’s obviously threatened in the middle of a court room, then starts flying to azkaban. Most people are going to presume that after something like that the dementors would leave Hermione alone. If they are consensus!dementors, not some-motive!dementors they’ll still leave her alone, because people will believe they will leave her alone.
