||
| + | ANYWAY, I was drunkenly browsing older threads and made a long-winded response to a younger man asking how to handle a girlfriend that wants it rough. But this thread was old enough that likely no one is reading anymore. Since I spent a good 15 minutes pondering and writing it, I didn't want it to go to waste so I thought I'd start a thread for it as the contents have served me well in my own sex life over the years. I also think there is a demand for practical experience in this regard. So the following are some of the milder things I enjoy. Here's the post: |
||
| − | '''Minister Hermione Jean'''<ref>{{DH|B|7}}</ref>''' Granger'''<!-- Please do not change this. It is confirmed by Pottermore - the 2014 Quidditch Finale - that Hermione's surname is, as of 2014, still Granger - confirmed also in Cursed Child --> (b. [[19 September]], [[1979]]<ref name="birthday" />) was a [[Muggle-born]]<ref>{{PS}}</ref> [[Wizardkind|witch]] born to [[Hermione Granger's father|Mr]] and [[Hermione Granger's mother|Mrs Granger]], both dentists. At the age of eleven she learned that she was a [[Wizardkind|witch]], and had been accepted into [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]]. She began attending Hogwarts in 1991 and was Sorted into [[Gryffindor|Gryffindor House]]. Hermione possessed a brilliant academic mind, and proved to be a gifted student in almost every subject that she studied. |
||
| + | Source: I was severely physically abused as a child (beaten bloody with unraveled wire hangers and other objects, but not sexually abused), and I'm pretty sure it caused me to become an avowed sadomasochist. In a weird way, I'm glad it happened because I feel like it's added a "fourth dimension" to sex that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to enjoy. I'll describe some of the more mild "sadist" activities that I enjoy below, although personally I also like being on the receiving end with with some stuff, biting for example. For whatever reason, women biting men HARD is hot but men biting women is just not cool. |
||
| − | Hermione first met [[Harry Potter]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] aboard the [[Hogwarts Express]]. Both boys found Hermione unfriendly and somewhat of an insufferable know-it-all. Later, her eagerness to please her professors and her constant correct answers reinforced their initial impression. However (in spite of the cool relationship between the three), Hermione stepped in to take the blame from Ron and Harry after they had saved her from a [[troll]] on [[Hallowe'en]] in 1991. Harry and Ron were surprised, but grateful and the three quickly became friends. |
||
| + | Hair pulling for sure. The vast majority of women I've been with have been into this, even normal women, and I love doing it. One woman would even climax almost on command if she was getting close upon pulling hair (could have been faking, but it really didn't seem like it.) It felt like pulling the trigger on some sort of orgasm gun, and those were among the most satisfying moments of my life so far.....Anyway, pull at the base of the hair close to her head and grab it in a big bunch (as you don't want to pull her hair out.) Is especially good from behind. Grab the hair with your dominant hand and put your off hand on her stomach and just wildly pull her into your thrusting. In this way you can use your legs AND arms for leverage. Fuck the shit out of her. |
||
| − | In her second year, Hermione played a crucial role in the discovery of the [[Chamber of Secrets]], before falling victim to the [[Salazar Slytherin's basilisk|basilisk]] unleashed upon Hogwarts following the opening of the Chamber. She was recovered from her petrification under the care of [[Poppy Pomfrey|Madam Pomfrey]], with the assistance of [[Pomona Sprout|Professor Sprout]]'s [[Mandrake Restorative Draught]]. The next year, Hermione was granted permission to use a [[Time-Turner]] from the Ministry of Magic to facilitate her volition to study far more subjects than was possible without time travel. Later in the year, she and Harry would use the Time-Turner to rescue [[Sirius Black]] from the [[Dementor's Kiss]] as well as [[Buckbeak]] the [[hippogriff]] from execution. During her fourth year at Hogwarts, Hermione became an advocate for the better treatment of [[house-elf|house-elves]], forming the association [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare|S.P.E.W.]] She also helped Harry prepare for the [[Triwizard Tournament]]. In her fifth year, she was the driving force behind the creation of [[Dumbledore's Army]]. Later in her fifth year, she fought alongside fellow D.A. members in the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]] and in her sixth year, she fought in the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]]. |
||
| + | Slapping. Ass only to start with. If she seems into it, do it HARDER and LOUDER. Once you learn to cup your hand the right way, you can get whipcrack sonic boom ass slap skills, which can be quite satisfying for both parties involved. Works best with Alexis Texas style huge fat asses. |
||
| − | Hermione played a significant role in many other battles of the [[Second Wizarding War]], as well. In 1997 she fought in the [[Battle of the Seven Potters]], alongside the [[Order of the Phoenix]]. She and Ron both decided not to return to Hogwarts for their final year of studies, instead choosing to accompany Harry on his quest to find and destroy [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]'s [[Horcrux]]es. Hermione then fought in the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], as well as destroying [[Hufflepuff's Cup]], a Horcrux with Ron Weasley, using a basilisk fang found in the Chamber of Secrets (then opened by Ron imitating Harry saying "open" in [[Parseltongue]]). |
||
| + | You can go into a multitude of directions from there. Personally, I like slapping her ass repeatedly, and hard enough that it goes slightly too far and makes her want to fight back, so I switch to a (RARE FOR ME) missionary position while we look into each others eyes as she slaps and/or punches me in the face (I keep smacking her ass HARD and/or squeezing it with the same voracity.) I have seen quite a few women go into a sexual frenzy at this point. I remember one young woman (and young man) when we were both around 24 and she was hit by a drop of sweat from my face. So she licked the whole side of my face, Rick James style and wanted me to suck on her tongue because she wanted to feel like she was fucking me somehow with her mouth while I was penetrating her with my dick. I still love to think about that particular time and will continue to do so until I'm dead. Keep in mind, I do realize that I'm fucked up, but recognizing what I like and acting on it makes my life so much more satisfying. |
||
| − | Following the [[Second Wizarding War]], Hermione went back to Hogwarts to complete her education. She later found employment with the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]], furthering the cause for the better treatment of house-elves. Afterward she was promoted to the [[Department of Magical Law Enforcement]]. She eventually married Ron Weasley and together they had two children, [[Rose Granger-Weasley|Rose]] and [[Hugo Granger-Weasley|Hugo]]. Hermione became the godmother of Harry and Ginny Potter's eldest son [[James Potter II|James]]. By the year [[2019]], she had become the [[Minister for Magic]]. |
||
| + | Choking is something I can't in good conscience recommend to anyone as it's just too risky in my opinion. What I will do though is grab her lower face with one hand such that part of my hand is on her jaw and part on her neck without putting pressure on her neck. I'm putting most of the squeeze pressure on either side of her jaw so it's a very firm grip and I have her head tightly constricted in one hand. This way, I can periodically turn her head to lean in for a sloppy kiss. Sometimes I put my fingers in her mouth and she seems to love it, mimicking a blowjob. |

| − | [[File:Granger_family_DH.jpg|240px|thumb|left|A young Hermione with her parents]] |
||
| + | Anal What I like to do is put some fingers into her vagina with one hand while periodically smacking her ass HARD with the other while being eye to eye the entire time. If she seems to like it, I put another finger in her ass and drag along the tissue inside back and forth, rubbing my fingers together on the upper wall of her vagina opposed with the finger in her ass, with that ass/vagina barrier in between like a piece of fabric. My previously ass-smacking hand is squeezing her waist/tits/pulling her head back for a kiss/whatever. At that point (or at any point of course), if she's like, "WTF" and/or "STOP" and/or "GET THE FUCK OFF ME", then you stop. If she seems into it, it usually means your dick in her ass is impending and she's ok with that. Use lube. Don't go back to the vagina anytime this session. |
||
| − | Hermione was born to [[Hermione Granger's father|Mr]] and [[Hermione Granger's mother|Mrs Granger]] on [[19 September]], [[1979]]. She was their only child<ref>[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2004/0304-wbd.htm 4 March 2004 World Book Day Chat]</ref> and, although they were "a bit bemused" by the oddities displayed by their daughter, they were known to be proud of her. |
||
| + | The key is to be all brute masculinity. None of the activities I've recommended have I ever planned out initially. I just let myself go and did whatever I felt like doing, and that's just what I liked to do, and whoever I was with at the time apparently was into receiving it. Tap into your own hormonal, animal self and go nuts. Not ALL women will like everything you want to do and of course no means no, but in my own experience if you're both behaving passionately enough together and it's easy to tell when this is the case, almost anything goes. Just don't do anything she isn't signalling she is ok with (verbally or otherwise), and don't do anything that causes real physical pain to her for the time being. She will likely let you know, one way or another, if she wants to amp it up. |
||
| − | Upon turning eleven, Hermione was surprised to learn that she was a [[Wizardkind|witch]] and was invited to attend [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. She eagerly accepted and took to studying magic even before she began her first year at Hogwarts in the [[September]] of 1991, learning all the set spellbooks by heart and even managing to [[underage magic|perform]] "a few spells" successfully. In addition to the texts set by the school, Hermione brought with her several other books for reference and to further her understanding of the wizarding world.<ref name="PS">{{PS}}</ref> |
||
| + | TLDR In my personal experience and sample size, most women want to get the SHIT FUCKED OUT OF THEM and most real men want to oblige, so embrace that and enjoy some wild sex. Propriety needs to take a back seat to the two of you smashing yourselves together in a creative sexual endeavor. (IN B4 someone accuses me of being homophobic by saying "real men." or only speaking of acts performed by men on women. That is simply my only experience to go by and I mean "real men" in the sense that "real men" go at their partner sexually with the utmost enthusiasm, that's all. Sorry...I just felt it coming.) |

||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione enjoyed her years as a pupil at Hogwarts, and took assignments, classes, and school rules very seriously. She was often described as "''the brightest witch of her age''", or as brilliant. Her favourite subject was initially [[Charms (class)|Charms]], and later [[Arithmancy]]. The only areas of study that gave her trouble were [[Flying (class)|Flying]] and [[Divination]] (the latter of which she was not very fond of). Given her keen mind some students, such as [[Terry Boot]], wondered why Hermione was Sorted into [[Gryffindor]] rather than [[Ravenclaw]]. Hermione admitted that the [[Sorting Hat]] did consider putting her in Ravenclaw. Being Sorted into Gryffindor, Hermione shared a dormitory with [[Lavender Brown]], [[Parvati Patil]], and two other girls.<ref name="OOTP">{{OOTP}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | She proved her rightful place in Gryffindor with her steadfast bravery and loyalty to her friends, [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], and [[Dumbledore's Army]]. It is likely that the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor in the first place because she chose to be in it, just like Harry chose to not be in Slytherin. On the train she states that, "''Gryffindor... sounds by far the best.''" |
||
| − | |||
| − | In spite of always wanting to follow the school rules, after Hermione became friends with Harry and Ron, she would disobey the rules along with them in order to successfully complete their group affairs. For example, she came with Ron and Harry into the third floor corridor, which was forbidden for students to enter in their first year, in order to save the Philosopher's Stone; she assisted in creating the Polyjuice Potion in their second year; and although Harry was the one who taught Dumbledore's Army in their fifth year, she was the one who came up with the idea. |

||
| − | [[File:Trio meet.jpg|245x245px|thumb|left|The trio meet for the first time aboard the [[Hogwarts Express]]]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione was a couple of weeks away from turning twelve when she boarded the Hogwarts Express in [[1991]], where she met Harry Potter and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] while helping [[Neville Longbottom]] find his pet toad, [[Trevor]]. Hermione demonstrated a knowledge and talent with [[magic]] beyond most of those her age, despite having only recently discovered that she was a witch. She wished to be a [[Gryffindor]] or a [[Ravenclaw]], and her wish was granted considering she did get Sorted into Gryffindor. She soon proved to be the best in all her classes, eager to please the professors and to help others learn, albeit in a bossy way that made it difficult for her to make friends. Although she was a know-it-all, Hermione did often help Neville Longbottom, who struggled in most classes other than [[Herbology]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione strictly followed all school rules and tried to prevent other students from breaking rules and getting into trouble. On one night, she followed Harry and Ron as they were leaving Gryffindor Tower to [[Duelling|duel]] [[Draco Malfoy]]. They were chased by [[Argus Filch]], acting on a tipoff by Malfoy, into the third floor corridor — forbidden to students — where they came face-to-face with [[Fluffy]], a three-headed dog belonging to [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]. Later on, she argued that her spying was to their benefit when she pointed out the dog had been standing on a trap door, which Harry and Ron had not noticed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Troll.jpg|250px|thumb|The mountain troll entering the bathroom that Hermione's in during the Hallowe'en feast]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | The friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione was solidified when, on [[31 October|Hallowe'en]] in [[1991]], the three were forced to confront [[Quirinus Quirrell's first mountain troll|a mountain troll]], which had been let into the school by Professor [[Quirinus Quirrell]]. Unaware that a troll was on the loose in the school, Hermione had spent that day crying in the girls' bathroom after overhearing Ron making unkind comments about her. The troll made its way into the bathroom she was in, and Harry and Ron came to her rescue, saving her. When Professors [[Minerva McGonagall]], [[Severus Snape]] and [[Quirinus Quirrell]] arrived at the scene, Hermione covered for the boys, claiming she was fighting the troll because she had thought that she could manage, having read a great deal about them, and that Ron and Harry had merely come to help her escape. The three students were then best friends and spent large amounts of time together. This is due to the fact that they survived the troll attack. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Hermione sets fire to cloak.gif|240px|thumb|left|Hermione setting Snape's robes on fire during a Quidditch match]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | The incident with the troll was by no means her only adventure in that first year. During the first [[Quidditch]] match, Hermione set [[Severus Snape|Professor Snape]]'s robes on fire when she thought he was jinxing Harry's broom. In the spring of [[1992]], [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]], now a friend of Hermione's through Harry, managed to procure a dragon egg. Hermione along with Ron and Harry helped Hagrid care for the beast which he'd named [[Norberta|Norbert]]. When the dragon was discovered, Hermione and Harry helped smuggle it out of the school to some friends of Ron's elder brother, [[Charles Weasley|Charlie Weasley]]. On their way back to the dormitories they were found by [[Argus Filch]], who brought them to Professor [[Minerva McGonagall]]. Along with [[Neville Longbottom]] and [[Draco Malfoy]], they received detention and were deducted 50 points each from their respective houses. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After their run-in with Fluffy, Harry deduced that whatever [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] had retrieved from [[Gringotts Wizarding Bank|Gringotts]] was beneath the trapdoor. Hagrid let it slip that "what's under that trap door is strictly between [[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] and [[Nicolas Flamel|Nicholas Flamel]]." After much research turned up nothing, Harry was given a Dumbledore [[Chocolate Frog Cards|Chocolate Frog Card]] by Neville, which mentions Dumbledore's work in [[Alchemy]] with Flamel. This leads Hermione to look at a large tome on Alchemy which she had borrowed from the [[Hogwarts Library|library]] for "''a bit of light reading''". After consulting the book, she realised that Fluffy is guarding the [[Philosopher's Stone]]. |

| − | [[File:Harry-potter1-trio_chess.jpg|251x251px|thumb|The trio stand as a unified front during the human chess match]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fearing that [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] would return if he stole the stone, Harry decided to steal it first. When he told Hermione that he could go on alone, she rebuffed him. After the trio passed [[Fluffy]], it was Hermione who freed Ron from a patch of [[Devil's Snare]] he had dropped into by conjuring [[Bluebell Flames]]. She later got herself and Harry through a challenge involving a [[Philosopher's Stone|Potion Riddle]]. Hermione used her logic to figure out the riddle and let Harry go forward without her, as there was only enough potion for one person. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Before she started her second year, Hermione wrote several letters to [[Harry Potter|Harry]], all of which were intercepted by [[Dobby]]. As the [[house-elf]] wanted Harry to believe that his friends had forgotten him in order to prevent his return to Hogwarts. She and [[Granger family|her parents]] also accompanied Harry and the [[Weasley family]] to [[Diagon Alley]] to shop for school supplies. |

| − | [[File:Harry-potter2_draco_hermione.jpg|245px|thumb|left|Draco Malfoy calling Hermione the derogatory slur "[[Mudblood]]"]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was during her second school year that Hermione first encountered the prejudice and hatred surrounding her [[blood status]], when [[Draco Malfoy]] called her a "''filthy little Mudblood''" after she told him off for insulting the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]]. Hermione had never heard the highly offensive term but looking around at everyone around her, it was an obvious fact. [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley]] lunged at him, and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] even tried to hex him, but it backfired, as his wand had been damaged. To help Hermione feel better about the incident, [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] urged her not to think about it, pointing out that she was a talented witch, regardless of what bigoted people said about her [[Muggle-born]] status. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Harry and Ron were surprised, and Ron annoyed, by Hermione's obvious crush on [[Gilderoy Lockhart]], who became that year's [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor. She scored full marks on the [[Defence Against the Dark Arts Second Year Essential Knowledge Test|first quiz in his class]], which consisted entirely of questions pertaining to Lockhart's books, including a question regarding his favourite colour (lilac) that most of the class had answered incorrectly. In fact, she went as far as to doodle hearts on her D.A.D.A. assignments, not knowing until later that he was, in reality, a self-obsessed fraud. |

| − | |||
| − | On [[Hallowe'en]], [[1992]] Hermione attended [[Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington's five-hundredth Deathday Party|Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday Party]] with Harry and Ron. While heading back upstairs, she followed Harry, who claimed to be hearing voices. They discovered the [[caretaker]]'s cat, Mrs Norris, petrified and the walls vandalised. Hermione began spending all her free time in the Hogwarts Library after she saw the writing on the corridor walls, which had said that the [[Chamber of Secrets]] had been re-opened. Despite hoping to read about the legend, she could not; as all the books had been previously checked out. Hermione shocked everyone when she actually interrupted [[Cuthbert Binns|Professor Binns]] during a [[History of Magic]] class, asking about the Chamber of Secrets. This was the only known time when a student had asked the boring professor a question, and the class was interested in what he had to say. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Professor Binns had stated that [[Salazar Slytherin]] had hidden a chamber which consisted of a horrible monster. It had been unleashed before once, petrifying many Muggle-born and had also killed a [[Ravenclaw]] girl, named [[Myrtle Warren]], who began haunting the girls' lavatory. Salazar was angry about the fact that Muggle-born children should be allowed to attend Hogwarts, but he was outnumbered and Muggle-borns like Hermione were allowed to attend the school. Slytherin fled the school, but rumours spread that he had built a hidden chamber; it was said that the school had been searched many times, but no such chamber had been found. |

||
| − | |||
| − | When Harry proposed the theory that [[Draco Malfoy]] was the "Heir of Slytherin", Hermione and Ron agreed she even suggested that they brew Polyjuice Potion. She went even further by daring to check ''[[Moste Potente Potions]]'' out of the library using a note from Professor Lockhart, in the desire to research the potion. The book was in the [[Restricted Section]] and therefore unavailable to younger students without permission from a teacher. She hoped that they would be able to obtain a viable confession from Malfoy, if he was unaware he was being interrogated. She brewed the potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, as no one used it due to Myrtle herself. Hermione also risked serious consequences when she stole potion ingredients from [[Severus Snape|Professor Snape]]'s [[Severus Snape's storeroom|personal cupboards]] that were needed for the difficult potion, which took a month to brew. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Unfortunately, Hermione was unable to join Harry and Ron in the ruse with Polyjuice Potion because the hair she obtained from [[Millicent Bulstrode]] during their scuffle in the [[Duelling Club]] was actually the hair of Bulstrode's cat. Hermione grew fur and a tail, and remained in the [[Hospital Wing]] for weeks. Harry and Ron, however, were able to use the potion she brewed to transform into [[Gregory Goyle]] and [[Vincent Crabbe]], respectively. They entered the [[Slytherin]] [[Slytherin Dungeon|common room]], and through conversation with [[Draco Malfoy]], realised that he was not the [[Tom Riddle|Heir of Slytherin]], and was not involved in the opening of the Chamber after all. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Months after her recovery from the Polyjuice complication, Hermione suffered another accident. Drawing the connection between Harry hearing voices in the walls and him being a Parselmouth, she came to the conclusion that the creature attacking students must be a [[Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk|Basilisk]], and rushed to the library to conduct further research. On her way back from the library, she warned the first person she saw, [[Penelope Clearwater]], and advised her to look around corners with a mirror before going anywhere. It saved both their lives, because they were both [[Petrification|petrified]] when they spotted the basilisk's eyes through the mirror. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Though she was petrified for the rest of the school year, Hermione was still able to assist Harry and Ron, for she had torn out the page on basilisks and scribbled on it "'''''pipes'''"'', referencing the manner in which the creature had moved around the school undetected. Using this note and other information they had gathered, Harry and Ron were able to successfully put an end to [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]'s plans to resurrect his body through his memory stored in [[Tom Riddle's Diary|an old school diary]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione was later cured with a [[Mandrake Restorative Draught]] created by [[Pomona Sprout|Professor Sprout]]. Upon arriving at the Great Hall she was immediately greeted by Nearly Headless Nick. After Hugging Harry she exchanged an awkward greeting With Ron. Hermione was disappointed to learn that, as a special treat for the school, Professor Dumbledore cancelled the students' end of year exams, though intensely proud that her friends had solved the mystery.<ref name="CS">{{COS}}</ref> That summer, Hermione went on holiday to [[France]] with her [[Granger family|parents]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Just before she began the 1993-1994 school year, while visiting [[Diagon Alley]] with Harry and the [[Weasley family]], Hermione met and adopted a ginger part-[[Kneazle]] cat named [[Crookshanks]] from the [[Diagon Alley|Magical Menagerie]]. However, her new bond with her cat caused friction with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] and his pet rat [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]], as Crookshanks was always trying to catch the rat. Also at the beginning of this school year, Hermione obtained a [[Time-Turner]] from [[Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] so she could double up on classes, though this was kept secret from everyone, even Harry and Ron. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When [[Harry Potter|Harry]] received a [[Harry Potter's Firebolt|Firebolt]] for Christmas with no note, Hermione reported it to Professor McGonagall, thinking it was sent by [[Sirius Black]], whom everyone believed to be a dangerous murderer who was after Harry. His broom was taken away to be inspected, which caused a temporary rift between the two friends. There was further social strain for Hermione when Ron accused Crookshanks of eating Scabbers, who had disappeared. |

| − | |||
| − | Hermione poured herself into defending [[Buckbeak]], the [[hippogriff]] on trial before the [[Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures]] for attacking [[Draco Malfoy]] during a [[Care of Magical Creatures]] class. Once the trio reconciled, after Hagrid told Harry and Ron how disappointed he was when they selfishly put the Firebolt and Scabbers over their friendship with Hermione, they apologised. Their attempt to save Buckbeak failed, as [[Lucius Malfoy]] frightened the Committee into deciding that the creature would be executed. Hermione was extremely upset by this news and grew furious to the point of slapping Draco Malfoy when he dared to mock Hagrid for his tears and being upset over Buckbeak's fate. |
||
| − | |||
| − | That year, Hermione was also among the students who found [[Remus Lupin]] to be the best [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] teacher they have ever had. Hermione cleverly deduced that Professor Lupin was a [[werewolf]], based on his Boggart taking the form of a full moon, the timing of his unexplained absences from class, and [[Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] changing a lesson he took over to the subject of werewolves. However, Hermione did not expose Lupin, presumably because she believed he was a good teacher and did not agree with the prejudice many hold against werewolves. [[Divination]], on the other hand, turned out to be a subject Hermione had no respect for or interest in, and soon dropped the subject after [[Sybill Trelawney]] told her that she did not posses the [[Inner Eye|Second Sight]]. She believed that Divination was an imprecise term of magic. Her hatred for the subject also may have been because of [[Sybill Trelawney|Professor Trelawney]].<ref name="POA" /> |

| − | On the day of Buckbeak's execution, the trio ventured down to console Hagrid. While in his cabin, Hermione discovered [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]], Ron's lost rat. Hagrid urged them to leave and they witnessed what they thought to be Buckbeak's execution. Before they could return to their dormitory, Scabbers bit Ron and fled. While chasing after the rat, they were attacked by a [[Sirius Black|black dog]], which pulled Ron, by the arm, into a tunnel beneath the [[Whomping Willow]], which then attacked them. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Afterward, Hermione and Harry hurried after them eventually arriving in the [[Shrieking Shack]], where Sirius Black, whose [[Animagus]] form was the black dog, confronted them. They were soon joined by Professor Lupin who was acting strangely, and Hermione told Harry and Ron of her belief that he was a werewolf, which he then confirmed. It was revealed that Sirius had been framed for the betrayal of [[James Potter I|James]] and [[Lily Potter]], and that the true traitor was Peter Pettigrew, who had been hiding from the world as Ron's pet rat, Scabbers. Hermione also cast ''[[Disarming Charm|Expelliarmus]]'' on Snape, knocking him out, at which she was horrified. |

| − | |||
| − | Once it had been decided that Pettigrew would be turned over to the authorities, the motley group left the Shrieking Shack. When the full moon appeared, chaos ensued as Lupin transformed as he did not take the potion that Professor Snape produced for him. Pettigrew attacked Ron and escaped, and Sirius had to transform in order to protect Harry, Ron, and Hermione from the werewolf. Hermione and Harry rushed to Sirius' aid when they heard him moaning, but then hundreds of [[Dementor]]s descended on them, come to recapture Sirius. Sirius quickly fainted, and Harry told Hermione to think of something happy and attempt to cast a patronus as he was trying to himself, but they were both unable to cast one. As Harry conjured an incorporeal Patronus, Hermione passed out leaving Harry to fight the Dementors alone. Harry held them off for a while but was eventually overwhelmed. The Dementors were about to perform the [[Dementor's Kiss|Kiss]] on Harry, Hermione, and Sirius when a mysterious figure cast a very powerful [[Patronus Charm]] to repel the Dementors. |

After realising that Sirius's soul was to be destroyed by the Dementor's Kiss and receiving vague, though instructive and useful, instructions from [[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]], Hermione used her [[Time-Turner]] to return herself and Harry to a time earlier in the evening. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was a very difficult task and Harry had to be constantly reminded by Hermione to stay concealed. Hermione agreed with Harry that it was difficult to watch their problems again, but she strictly said that they could do nothing about it, as bad things happened to wizards who tried to meddle with their past and future lives. They did, however, use the opportunity to [[Rescue of Sirius Black and Buckbeak|rescue]] Sirius and Buckbeak as it was hinted by Dumbledore that more than one innocent life could be spared that night.<ref name="POA" /> While waiting, she discussed their saviour with Harry, and when Harry realised that it was he, she claimed that none but a powerful wizard could have conjured a Patronus to drive away that many Dementors. As evidenced by her assertion that time-travelling was extremely dangerous, Hermione took great personal risk to save Sirius and Buckbeak. At the end of the year Hermione returned her Time-Turner, claiming it caused too much trouble and that she would drop a few subjects instead, which was a very big surprise to everyone. |

| − | Before her fourth year at Hogwarts, Hermione spent much of the summer holidays at the [[the Burrow|Burrow]] with [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]], sharing a room with [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]]. With the other [[Weasley family|Weasleys]] (excluding Molly Weasley), they attended the 1994 Quidditch World Cup in [[August]]. After the game, the communal campsite was set upon by [[Death Eaters]]. Hermione, Harry, and Ron fled into the woods and witnessed the casting of ''[[Morsmordre]]''. Initially caught up in the chaos surrounding the effort to catch the caster, she took exception to the accusations levelled against Harry, and the many wizards' treatment of the house-elf [[Winky]] who had also been at the scene. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once at Hogwarts, it was revealed to the students that former [[Auror]] Alastor Moody (Polyjuiced [[Bartemius Crouch Junior|Barty Crouch Jr]]) was to be the new[[ Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor. He was a hands on professor who believed in a practical approach when it came to defence. One of his earliest lessons was on the [[Unforgivable Curses]]. Hermione and her fellow classmates witnessed the curses effects on a spider. Hermione began a crusade for the liberation of [[house-elf|house-elves]] by beginning the [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare]], or what she and the group called S.P.E.W, (or as [[Ronald Weasley]] called it, "spew") having been appalled by [[Bartemius Crouch Senior|Bartemius Crouch]]'s abusive treatment of his house-elf Winky. This did not earn her any popularity, as most believed that house-elves enjoy their work; indeed, even the house-elves did not like her campaigning. |

| − | Harry, Ron, and [[Neville Longbottom]] only reluctantly joined S.P.E.W., mostly in order to prevent Hermione from nagging them about it. [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] as well as [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley]] refused to join on the grounds that it would upset the house-elves. Despite this Fred did tell Hermione how to get into the Hogwarts kitchens. One morning she (along with Harry and Ron) visited the kitchens, where she spoke to [[Dobby]] and Winky. Dobby was pleased to see Harry and his friends and proceeded to tell them his struggles as a freed elf. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While the trio were within the kitchen it was revealed that Winky was so sadded by the lose of her previous job that she had taken to drinking [[Butterbeer]], as a means to get drunk. Hermione considered Dobby to be a good example of a free elf and tried to comfort Winky about being sacked by Crouch. This however did little good as Winky soon became upset by Hermione's claims that house-elves deserved to have holidays and wages. [[Winky]] was not the only elf bothered by this. The other elves stated that proper house-elves would never need such things and to want them is considered very shameful. |

||
| − | |||
| − | After the events surrounding Harry's name coming out of the [[Goblet of Fire]], Hermione was the only student who believed Harry's innocence. In fact, she "''accepted his story without question''." Even Ron was suspicious that Harry had cheated in order to gain more glory, creating a rift between the two for some time. Hermione helped Harry prepare for the first task of the Triwizard Tournament by helping him learn useful spells. Some of the spells were: ''[[Stunning Spell|Stupefy]]'', ''[[Impediment Jinx|Impedimenta]]'', and ''[[Summoning Charm|Accio]]'' and even tried to get Harry and Ron to talk to one another multiple times. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione unknowingly attracted the interest of [[Durmstrang Institute|Durmstrang]] Triwizard Champion and Bulgarian International [[Seeker]], [[Viktor Krum]]. She attracted him due to her intelligence, unconventional beauty, and the manner in which she declined to hound him for autographs, unlike other girls. Krum began following Hermione to the library and other places around Hogwarts. Him following her to the library, was something that Hermione found very irritating. She could not work when surrounded by giggling girls, whom had taken it upon themselves to follow Krum throughout the castle and the school grounds. Krum even asked Harry if it was all right for him to pursue Hermione. He eventually asked her to attend the [[Yule Ball]] with him, and she accepted, not telling anyone but [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]] that she was his date. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Thus, when the pair arrived, many were stunned and jealous. Hermione wore robes of a "''floaty, periwinkle-blue material,''" and her hair in an "''elegant knot at the back of her head''."<ref name="GOF">{{GOF}}</ref> The attention to her appearance was unusual, and she received many positive remarks on it. Even Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson had nothing negative to say. Hermione commented that she had used [[Sleekeazy's Hair Potion]], but that it was too much work to use it every day. Upon seeing Hermione with Krum, Ron was overcome with jealousy. Hermione intended for Ron to ask her, but his invite was insensitive and at the last minute. The two rowed about it in the common room, in which Hermione revealed that he should have asked her instead of Krum, but Ron misunderstood the point. After that, the two were seemingly more polite, although Ron continued to show dislike and distrust towards Krum. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione was chosen as a "kidnap victim" for Krum during the Tournament's Second Task, something that she subsequently endured teasing over. She was taken to the bottom of the Black Lake to await rescue from Krum, who donned a half-shark [[Transfiguration]]. Krum managed to rescue her and carried her to the surface, where he revealed to her later that he "''never felt this way about any other girl''" and asked her to visit him in [[Bulgaria]] over the summer.<ref name="GOF" /> Krum was also jealous of Hermione's relationship with Harry Potter thinking that there was something romantic between them that went beyond just plain friendship. The jealousy was founded based on the lies in the ''[[Daily Prophet]]''. Harry was quick to inform Krum of these lies. |

| − | |||
| − | [[Rita Skeeter]], a journalist for the ''Daily Prophet'' and unregistered [[Animagus]], was hiding in beetle form in Hermione's hair during this conversation. Hermione had previously told Skeeter off for printing horrible lies about Harry and [[Rubeus Hagrid]]. This angered the journalist, who wrote a scathing article on "the devious Miss Granger". Skeeter claimed that she was toying with both Harry and Krum's affections and that she had developed a taste for famous wizards. Skeeter even went so far to claim that Hermione was possibly brewing [[Love Potion|love potions]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the words of Ron, Skeeter was making Hermione out to be a "''Scarlet Woman''." Although she called Hermione "''plain''" in the article, she had previously reported Hermione as Harry's "''stunningly pretty... girlfriend''" by likely twisting and sensationalising the words of [[Colin Creevey]] and thus used this as the basis for the article. Although Hermione found the lies ridiculous, some people believed them and started sending Hermione hate mail, and even [[Molly Weasley]] treated her coldly until Harry corrected her. Hermione found this irritating and vowed to get revenge on Skeeter for her libel. |

Hermione was upset with the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, when he refused to believe Harry and Dumbledore. During her time with Harry in the Hospital Wing she noticed Skeeter on a windowsill, attempting to eavesdrop and captured her in the process. Hermione did not go against Harry's story when he finally heard it, sticking by his best friend. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the ride home on the [[Hogwarts Express]], Hermione happily revealed she uncovered Skeeter's status as an unregistered Animagus and had trapped her in a jar. She kept Skeeter from writing for a year by threatening to expose her to the authorities. She single-handed drove Skeeter into poverty, gaining revenge for the pain caused to Harry and her other friends. However, with the [[Return of Lord Voldemort|return]] of [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] and the murder of [[Cedric Diggory]] at the end of the school year,<ref name="GOF" /> there were much more serious challenges ahead for Hermione and her friends. |

However, Hermione and Ron believed Harry and defended him against the criticism of doubtful classmates. Though occasionally Harry vented his frustration at them, Hermione and Ron stuck by him. They also wanted to become members of the reconvened [[Order of the Phoenix]] but were not allowed to because they were under-age. Hermione helped exterminate [[12 Grimmauld Place]], which served as headquarters for the Order, and was immensely relieved when Harry was acquitted of the charge of having used under-age magic. Also before returning to Hogwarts, she and Ron learned that they had been appointed prefects for [[Gryffindor]] house and received badges. She took her position very seriously. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once the school year began, Hermione resumed some of her activism on behalf of house-elves, though she was not as intense about [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare|S.P.E.W.]] as she had been the previous year. She learned how to knit socks and hats for the house-elves and hid them in Gryffindor Tower. The elves found this attempt at freeing them insulting, and they stopped cleaning the Tower at all. [[Dobby]], already a free elf, was the only one who enjoyed the gifts. He took everything Hermione had made and cleaned the Tower by himself, a fact which Hermione did not know. |

| − | Meanwhile, it was not long before Hermione realised that the Ministry of Magic had decided to interfere at Hogwarts. [[Dolores Umbridge]], a cruel, falsely sweet Ministry employee with a personality like "''poisoned honey''", was appointed as the new professor of [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]]. She refused to teach students practical defence, focusing only on theory. With this being the case, Hermione decided that Hogwarts needed a competent teacher and, together with Harry and Ron, founded [[Dumbledore's Army]], a secret organisation in which students would gather after classes and be taught practical defensive spells. She suggested that Harry be the teacher; though he originally thought the idea ridiculous, he consented to teach the class. |
||
| − | |||
| − | One of the many spells Hermione learned was the [[Patronus Charm]]; hers took the form of an otter. Hermione also became one of the few people brave enough to call [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]] by his actual name. However, Hermione made the mistake of arranging the first meeting to take place in the [[Hog's Head]], as opposed to the Three Broomsticks, which Sirius, appearing in the Gryffindor Common Room fire, said would have made it a lot more harder for anyone to overhear. [[Willy Widdershins]], who was in the Hog's Head, went to Umbridge, who instituted [[Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four]] to forbid any type of students groups from being formed under her watchful eye. |

| − | Halfway through the year at Hogwarts, Harry had a vision of Voldemort's snake, Nagini, biting Mr Weasley during his task for the Order of the Phoenix. Mr Weasley was carried into [[St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries|St Mungo's Hospital]], where Mrs Weasley screamed at him for trying to stitch his wound instead of healing it with magic. Hermione was one of the few who visited him and stayed at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place for a couple of weeks until Mr Weasley was nursed back to health. Hermione had managed to convince her parents by telling them that skiing wasn't ''really'' her thing and that people who were serious about their exams stayed at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] and studied. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The D.A. brought Harry into greater contact with [[Cho Chang]]. After a meeting, Harry kissed Cho, and when he didn't tell it to Hermione and Ron, she guessed, asking if Cho had cornered him after the meeting. She explained to Harry and Ron that Cho was having a hard time since [[Cedric Diggory]], who she used to go out with, was killed by Lord Voldemort. Hermione gave Harry advice on Cho and girls in general. In an effort to combat the lies being told about Harry, Hermione also arranged for an interview during a [[Hogsmeade]] [[Hogsmeade weekend trips|visit]] with [[Rita Skeeter]] to be printed in ''[[The Quibbler]]'' telling his side of the story. Despite being banned, it became the magazine's best-selling issue of all time.<ref name="OOTP" /> |

She created [[Dumbledore's Army coin|coins]] enchanted with the [[Protean Charm]], an advanced spell, as a method of communication, and [[Dumbledore's Army parchment jinx|jinxed]] the club's attendance sheet to give any tattler a horrendous rash on the face, which would spell out "''SNEAK"'' in painful boils.This is exactly what happened to [[Marietta Edgecombe]]. Shortly before Easter Marietta betrayed them to Umbridge. She was a reluctant member of the D.A., having been brought to the meetings by her friend, Cho Chang. She finally caved under the pressure from her ministry mother who worked in the the [[Floo Regulation Panel|Floo Network Office]] and betrayed the D.A. to Umbridge. When Harry learned that they could not find a counter curse, he swelled with pride at Hermione's jinxing ability. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Dobby]] the house-elf learned of this turn of events, and rushed to the [[Room of Requirement]] to warn Harry and the D.A. Most members escaped, but Harry was caught by Umbridge and several Slytherin students who were members of the Inquisitorial Squad. A search of the room uncovered the parchment that each member of the D.A. had signed, entitled "''Dumbledore's Army.''" Finally having "proof" that Dumbledore was building an army to challenge the Ministry, Umbridge immediately contacted Cornelius Fudge. Dumbledore fled the school and Umbridge became Headmistress. Hermione was not exposed at that time, but later she was brought to Umbridge's office by the some members of the [[Inquisitorial Squad]]. |

| − | Late in the fall of that year, [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]], who had been missing for the entirety of the school year, returned to Hogwarts. Hermione, Harry, and Ron ventured down to see him immediately even though it was after curfew. Hermione was aghast at the injuries Hagrid had sustained and greatly curious as to his story. She was almost caught when Umbridge called on Hagrid that night. Months later, Hermione and Harry learned why Hagrid was perpetually bruised and cut. He had brought his half giant brother [[Grawp]] back from the giants. After Grawp picked her up, Hermione forcefully told him to put him down. |

| − | Just after their class took their [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.Ls]], Harry had a vision of his godfather being tortured by Voldemort in the [[Department of Mysteries]]. Hermione was worried that it was a trap and convinced Harry to try to contact Sirius before doing anything rash. To that end, she accompanied Harry in an act of solidarity as he sneaked into Umbridge's office to use the [[Floo Network]], with the assistance of Ron, [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]], and [[Luna Lovegood]], but they were ultimately caught. When Umbridge threatened to use the [[Cruciatus Curse]] on Harry during questioning, Hermione interceded. She came up with a lie that she and her fellow D.A. members had been building a weapon for Dumbledore, thus stopping Umbridge's sadistic interrogation and attempted torture of Harry. |

||
| − | |||
| − | She successfully lured Umbridge into the Forbidden Forest, where Umbridge was carried away by a herd of [[centaur]]s. Hermione had predicted that the centaurs would let her and Harry go, since they did not insult the centaurs and were young enough to be considered "foals". However, the centaurs were already enraged by Umbridge and were further angered when Hermione admitted that she had hoped that they would drive Umbridge off, being insulted that they were thought of to do the bidding of humans. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The centaurs were about to carry the two students off as well, but [[Grawp]] stumbled onto the scene and a [[Skirmish in the Forbidden Forest|fight broke out]] between the giant and the herd. This allowed Hermione and Harry to escape and meet up with Ron, Ginny, Luna, and [[Neville Longbottom|Neville]], who had escaped from the [[Inquisitorial Squad]]. After a brief argument between Harry and Neville over whether or not the others were going to travel with Harry to London, an understanding was reached. The six students flew on [[Thestral]]s (which the majority could not even see) to the [[British Ministry of Magic Headquarters|Ministry of Magic]] to try to save Sirius from Voldemort and his Death Eaters. |

| − | Hermione's fear turned out to be justified, as Harry's vision was a ruse designed to lure him to the Ministry to obtain [[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy|a prophecy]] Voldemort sought. As soon as Harry did this, the six D.A. members were surrounded by [[Death Eaters]], and a [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries|battle]] ensued. Hermione stunned [[Nott]] when he grabbed Harry, thus freeing him and causing Nott to be injured by the collapsing shelves of prophecies. She later stunned another Death Eater and [[Silencing Charm|Silenced]] [[Antonin Dolohov]] before he could alert the other Death Eaters to the group's location. She was critically injured by the [[Antonin Dolohov's curse|curse]] Dolohov subsequently struck her with, but made a full recovery.<ref name="OOTP" /> |

||
| − | |||
| − | By the time they arrived in Hogwarts, Hermione's romantic feelings for Ron had become obvious, and she was upset when he and Lavender started flirting. Hermione and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]]'s relationship suffered greatly in their sixth year, when Ron became envious of both Hermione and [[Harry Potter|Harry]], who were invited to be members of the [[Slug Club]]. The Slug Club was a group of students favoured by [[Potions (class)|Potions]] professor [[Horace Slughorn]], while he was ignored. He was mollified when Hermione revealed that she was going to ask if he wanted to attend Slughorn's [[Slug Club Christmas party|Christmas party]] with her. Hermione later resonded that if he rather her go with McLaggen then that was fine too. She said this after he made a negitive comment about the party. According to Harry the two seemed on their way to a romantic relationship. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, during an argument with his sister, Ginny humiliated Ron about his inexperience with the opposite gender and told him that Hermione had kissed [[Viktor Krum]] during their earlier romance. Ron subsequently began treating Hermione coldly, much to her bewilderment. He became even angrier with her when she believed that Harry slipped Ron [[Felix Felicis]] to assist in his [[Quidditch]]-playing abilities, despite having believed it initially himself, accusing her of having no faith in him when it was discovered that he had not been slipped the potion at all. |

| − | |||
| − | All of this culminated in Ron beginning a very public relationship with fellow Gryffindor student [[Lavender Brown]] (Hermione was always insecure around Ron). When she found out about Ron's relationship with Lavender, she conjured a flock of wild birds to attack Ron for his insensitivity regarding her feelings. After this Hermione went to the aforementioned Christmas party with [[Cormac McLaggen]] to get back at Ron, but it did not go well due to the former's impoliteness. Afterwards, Ron (who was relieved that Hermione and McLaggen's date did not go well and who was growing discontent in his relationship with Lavender) attempted to speak to Hermione, but she ignored him, still upset and angry over his previous treatment of her.<ref name="HBP">{{HBP}}</ref> This behaviour presisted for quite sometime. |

| − | |||
| − | The two reconciled after Ron was hospitalised due to consuming poisoned mead, an event that left Hermione shaken and frightened. After the incident she remained unusually quiet and subdued. While sitting at Ron's bedside Ron subconsciously muttered Hermione's name. By this time, Ron was visibly disillusioned with his relationship with [[Lavender]], who had become possessive of him and called him by the annoying nickname "''Won-Won.''" He was also pleased whenever Hermione visited him in the hospital wing. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He began avoiding Lavender, who soon became suspicious of his relationship with Hermione, ultimately leading to an argument about her. After Lavender saw Ron and Hermione come down alone from the boys' dormitories (Harry was under the [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility cloak]]) she had a fight with Ron and broke up with him. After Ron told Harry and Hermione about breaking up with Lavender, Harry could have sworn he saw Hermione smirk. Afterwards, Hermione and Ron were more comfortable together, and their relationship improved considerably, although a romantic relationship remained out of their reach. Hermione comforted Ron after he failed his [[Apparition (class)|Apparition]] test because he [[Splinching|Splinched]] half an eyebrow, while he teased her about the [[Wilkie Twycross|instructor]]'s praise for her flawless performance. That year, Hermione also quickly mastered [[nonverbal spell|non-verbal magic]], the first in her class to do so. |

| − | Throughout the year, she and Ron were both sceptical of Harry's claims that [[Draco Malfoy]] had been branded with the [[Dark Mark]] and was up to something. Moreover, Hermione was confident that Malfoy couldn't have brought any Dark objects into Hogwarts without alerting Filch. Hermione also strongly disapproved of Harry using the textbook of the "[[Severus Snape|Half-Blood Prince]]" to get ahead in [[Potions (class)|Potions]] unfairly, though she did not turn him in. She was particularly alarmed by the increasingly Dark nature of the magic in the book, such as the spell ''[[Sectumsempra]]''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Near the end of the school year, Harry's suspicions would be proven right. Malfoy let Death Eaters into the school by means of a pair of vanishing cabinets. One cabinet resided in [[Borgin and Burkes]] and the other in the Room of Hidden Things. This infiltration of [[Death Eaters]] resulted in the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]]. Hermione fought in the battle and remained unscathed thanks to some [[Felix Felicis]].<ref name="HBP" /> This was a gift from Harry, who had a preconceived notion of what was going to happen. He told her, Ron, and Ginny to drink it beforehand in case his worries proved true. Also throughout the school year, Hermione as well as Ron had been informed of the content of Harry's private lessons with Dumbledore. Through these lessons Harry and in turn Hermione and Ron learned about Lord Voldemort's [[Horcrux]]es. |

Afterwards, Harry told them about his desire to drop out of Hogwarts to hunt Horcruxes, which were the key to defeating [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]. Despite his protests, Hermione and Ron promised to forgo their seventh year of school in order to assist Harry. Before leaving the school, Hermione was able to Summon books about Horcruxes from Dumbledore's office, where the late headmaster had kept them after the subject had been banned at Hogwarts. |

Hermione flew on a [[Thestral]] with [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]]. The two fought off at least five [[Death Eaters]], possibly killing one, injuring two, and were pursued by [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] himself at one point. In time, they arrived safely at the[[the Burrow| Burrow]], where Hermione was immensely relieved to see Harry alive and ran to him and hugged him tight, but she was greatly worried when Ron did not show up on time.

Hermione received {{TBB}}, a book of children's stories written in runes. Even before Hermione understood the priceless quality of the gift, she was moved to tears by Dumbledore's great act of friendship. During the reading of Dumbledore's will, she also displayed her incredible store of general knowledge when she mentioned that "''Snitches have flesh memories,''" surprising both Ron and Harry, who had both believed her to know little to nothing of [[Quidditch]]. |

She was amused by [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley|George]]'s stories about their late uncle [[Bilius]] and shared a friendly exchange with [[Viktor Krum]], to the frustration of Ron.

Within it she had packed, amongst other things, clothing, a tent, healing supplies, Harry's [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility Cloak]], and several useful books.

Hermione imbibed [[Polyjuice Potion]] and transformed to look like [[Mafalda Hopkirk]], a prominent Ministry official. She was forced to sit through the trials of [[Alderton]] and [[Mary Cattermole]], innocent Muggle-borns, right alongside Umbridge and Death Eater [[Corban Yaxley|Yaxley]].

The negative energy from the locket caused [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] to accuse Harry of poor leadership. They fought physically, although Hermione stopped them before they started casting spells. Ron also accused Hermione of choosing Harry over him, causing him to be jealous and feel left out by his two friends' growing friendship. |

Hermione comforted Harry in the graveyard, she nuzzled her head in to the crook between his head and shoulders and conjured roses for the [[James and Lily Potter's grave|Potters' graves]]. On their way out of the Graveyeard they came into contact with what appeared to be Bathilda. The pair then went to Bathilda's house, while in the house they were separated. Harry was attacked by [[Nagini]] upstairs, who had been waiting for them in the guise of the old woman, whose corpse had been animated like an [[Inferius]] by Voldemort.

Harry's wand had also been broken in the foray, most likely by the [[Blasting Curse]] Hermione cast at Nagini. Hermione was very upset a the thought that it was her curse that broke Harry's wand.

Before he destroyed it, however, the locket revealed some of Ron's deepest fears, including that Hermione preferred Harry to him. Hermione, however, was unaware of this, as she had been in the tent while this occurred. Upon seeing Ron returned, she screamed at Ron despite Harry trying to tell her that Ron just saved his life, and punched him until Harry cast a [[Shield Charm|shield charm]] between them with Hermione's wand.

Shortly after making this discovery, Harry realised that [[Luna Lovegood]] wasn't at home, despite it being the Christmas holidays, and had been away for a long time.

They threatened to kill Luna if they found that Xenophilius had lied about Harry Potter's presence in his home.

| − | Hermione, Harry, and Ron stayed at [[Shell Cottage]] for some time, whilst Fleur helped Hermione recover from her trauma. Ron didn't leave Hermione's bedside throughout this time. The trio formed a plan to break into the [[Lestrange Vault|Lestrange vault]] at Gringotts to retrieve the Horcrux [[Helga Hufflepuff's Cup]], with the reluctant assistance of Griphook. The goblin only agreed to help them in exchange for [[Sword of Gryffindor|Gryffindor's Sword]]; although loath to lose it, Hermione was strongly against deceiving or double-crossing Griphook, who was startled by the care she and Harry had shown for house-elves, since most wizards do not think highly of non-human beings. The trio reluctantly agreed to Griphook's terms. |

| − | Once more, Hermione used [[Polyjuice Potion]], containing Bellatrix's hair. She was also forced to use [[Bellatrix Lestrange's first wand|Bellatrix's wand]], as her wand had been confiscated by [[Snatchers]]. She very much disliked this, as the wand in question had caused so much suffering, such as contributing to Sirius' murder. She stated that the wand felt wrong and Harry speculated that it was because Hermione had not won the wand's intelligence. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was determined that Hermione was "too polite" to really impersonate Bellatrix, a she did not treat those around her like scum. Despite this the group managed to get into the vault, mainly because of Harry's use of the [[Imperius Curse]]. After many harrowing challenges, and Griphook betraying them out of a belief that they would not have kept to their agreement. Hermione, Ron, and Harry escaped on the back of the [[dragon|half-blind dragon]] that was guarding the vault, with another Horcrux in their possession.<ref name="DH" /> |

| − | The trio finally returned to [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] on 2 May, 1998, with the assistance of [[Aberforth Dumbledore]]. They were reunited with their friends in the re-formed [[Dumbledore's Army]], who declared their wish to fight the encroaching Death Eater army. While Harry and Luna Lovegood went to Ravenclaw Tower, Hermione and Ron retrieved [[Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk|basilisk]] fangs from the [[Chamber of Secrets]] in order to use them to destroy Horcruxes, and Hermione destroyed [[Hufflepuff's Cup]]. |

Hermione dodged a [[Killing Curse]] and managed to stun Goyle, and then she and Ron dragged him out of the room on broomstick as it went up in flames due to Crabbe's cursed fire, which also destroyed the Horcrux. Harry, Hermione and Ron then witnessed the death of [[Fred Weasley]], which devastated them all. Despite their grief, the trio continued with the effort to track down Nagini, another Horcrux. On their way, Hermione incapacitated two [[Death Eaters]] who were pursuing her, Harry and Ron, and blasted [[Fenrir Greyback]] away from an injured [[Lavender Brown]], Lavender still died afterward from her injuries tragically. |

| − | The trio was swarmed by [[Dementor]]s and all had difficulty summoning their [[Patronus Charm|Patronuses]] because of the horror of their recent experiences, but [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Ernest Macmillan|Ernie Macmillan]], and [[Seamus Finnigan]] came to their assistance. Under Harry's Invisibility Cloak, the three made their way to the [[Shrieking Shack]], where they witnessed Voldemort have Nagini kill [[Severus Snape]]. |

| − | During the brief pause in fighting, when Voldemort issued an ultimatum to Harry, Hermione comforted [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]] over Fred (Her older brother's) death.

When Bellatrix nearly killed Ginny, [[Molly Weasley]] took over the fight and killed Bellatrix. Hermione witnessed Harry's final defeat of Lord Voldemort, and she and Ron reached him first, overjoyed.

| − | ====Minister for Magic==== |
||
| − | Sometime before [[2019]], Hermione became the new [[Minister for Magic]]. In the summer of [[2020]], Hermione had to visit Harry to ask him to complete his paperwork and the other tasks he was yet to do. She talked about her concerns for recent activity similar to ones which happened when Voldemort was alive. Harry reminded her that he did just find a [[Time-Turner]] and he would get round to the rest of the tasks in his own time. They agreed that the Time-Turner should be destroyed and Hermione hid it away. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A few months later, Hermione was returning to her office when she was stopped by Ron, who was really [[Albus Potter]] transfigured to look like Ron. Albus was trying to stall her while [[Scorpius Malfoy]] and [[Delphini|Delphi]] stole the Time-Turner. Hermione found Ron annoying although he stalled her long enough for the others to find the Time-Turner and they left. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione had found out about Harry's nightmares and how his scar was hurting again and she called a meeting. However, no one thought it was a threat. |
||
| − | [[File:Ron Hermione cursed child.jpg|244x244px|thumb|left|Hermione and Ron standing in her office at the [[Ministry of Magic]]]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione's life was changed by Albus and Scorpius when they meddled with time. In one [[alternate reality]], she did not marry Ron and became the [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] teacher at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. In another alternate reality where Harry died, Hermione was in hiding as a member of what remained of [[Dumbledore's Army]] with Ron and [[Severus Snape]]. When Scorpius turned up with information about the original timeline where they won, Hermione agreed to help put time right again by time-travelling to the moment Scorpius changed time and use a [[Shield Charm]] to stop him. Hermione was the one to use the charm first, but when they returned to the present, it was still changed. They were attacked by Dementors and Hermione and Ron professed their love for each other and sacrificed their souls to the [[Dementor]]s to give Scorpius time to escape. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When time was right again, Hermione visited Hogwarts to attend a meeting with Professor McGonagall. Hermione, along with Ron, Harry, Ginny <span>and Draco </span>were very forgiving of what Albus and Scorpius did, but McGonagall reminded them of great dangers that happened, and could still have been, because they meddled with time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Albus and Scorpius were kidnapped by Delphi and made to travel in time again to [[31 October|October 31]] [[1981]], Hermione travelled in time again with Ron, Harry, Ginny and Draco Malfoy to save them. Hermione helped transfigure Harry to look like Voldemort to trick Delphi who hopes to save him, and then later helped Harry duel Delphi. She and Draco then apprehended her and took her back to the present where she was sent to [[Azkaban]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione never gave much attention to her appearance, and usually hid her potential to be extremely pretty under her bushy hairstyle and a large pile of books, which she kept slung on her back.<ref name="PS" /> She generally wore her school uniform under her robes. Otherwise, she dressed casually. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, in [[1994]], Hermione had [[Poppy Pomfrey|Madam Pomfrey]] magically [[tooth-shrinking spell|shrink]] her front teeth after she was accidentally struck with a ''[[Densaugeo]]'' spell, making it unnecessary for her to receive the braces her parents had originally intended for her. She also used [[Sleekeazy's Hair Potion]] to fix her hair, though she later remarked that it was too much work to use everyday. It was eventually revealed that these efforts were to help her look her very best for the [[Yule Ball]]. |

| − | |||
| − | During the Yule Ball, many of Hermione's fellow students were stunned by how pretty she looked. Harry himself failed to recognise her initially, and was shocked when he did, for she did not look at all like her usual self: her hair was sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head. She wore robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and she smiled and held herself differently. Even [[Pansy Parkinson|Pansy]] gaped at Hermione when she saw her, and [[Draco Malfoy|Draco]] seemed unable to find an insult to throw at her.<ref name="GOF" /> |

| − | During the wedding of Bill and Fleur, Hermione again put in effort to look her best: her hair was sleek and shiny, and she wore a floaty, lilac-coloured dress with matching high heels. |

She was so studious that the school gave her a [[Time-Turner]] in her third year, a device that rewinds time so that she could take extra courses.<ref name="POA" /> Because of her efficiency, she often had time to do hobby work on the side, such as preparing a defence for [[Buckbeak]] to save him from execution, and creating [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare|S.P.E.W.]], an organisation promoting the freedom of [[House-elf|house-elves]].<ref name="GOF" /> Such acts demonstrate Hermione's social conscience, tenacity, and compassion. |

| − | Unlike most wizards who depended solely on their magical ability, Hermione readily relied on logic. Although this often helped her cleverly deduce information that many others missed, such as [[Remus Lupin]]'s [[Werewolf|lycanthropy]],<ref name="POA" /> Hermione's emphasis on logic also made her sceptical about accepting anything without proof, as opposed to Harry who would come to intuitive conclusions.

She defeated many Death Eaters during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] and also held her own against [[Bellatrix Lestrange]], despite being handicapped by using Bellatrix's own [[wand]] against her. It should also be noted that she fought Bellatrix alongside [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]] and [[Luna Lovegood]]. She even proved to be a challenge for Bellatrix and put on the defence for a brief time during the duel, but eventually gained the upper towards the end of the duel. Hermione also had very fast reflexes when it came to wand work; for instance, she drew her wand and placed a [[Shield Charm]] between Harry and Ron when they were quarrelling before either of them could even draw their wands in [[1997]], and when the trio was spotted by Death Eaters during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], she was the first to react, sending them to safety.<ref name="DH" /> Hermione was also able to magically manipulate objects around herself to incapacitate or evade others.<ref name="OOTPf" /> Her duelling style was creative and unpredictable, mixing non-combat spells along with more conventional combative spells to overcome her opponents. |

In their third year when she took Professor Lupin's exam, Harry saw that she did everything perfectly except for the part of fighting the [[Boggart]]. Hermione mastered all the spells taught by Harry in their fifth year in [[Dumbledore's Army]]. She mastered the [[Stunning Spell]], [[Impediment Jinx]], and various other [[jinx]]es and [[hex]]es. She was capable of using powerful spells such as the [[Blasting Curse]]. Despite this aptitude, this was the one subject Harry Potter was better than her at, something she freely acknowledged. If Hermione became an Auror she would have excelled but instead dedicated herself to rebuilding the wizard laws. Alongside this, in one alternative universe created by Scorpius and Albus' time-travelling experiences, Hermione in fact becomes professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, although she was notably less pleasant as a person than she was in the 'prime' timeline. |

[[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]] later broke the charm on her through torture.</ref> Hermione's Memory Charms on [[Antonin Dolohov]] and [[Thorfinn Rowle]] held even when they were subjected to the [[Cruciatus Curse]].<ref>Dolohov and Rowle saw [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] when they [[Luchino Caffe Duel|attacked]] the trio on [[Tottenham Court Road]] yet Ron's accompaniment of Harry and Hermione was not known to the Death Eaters until he was brought to [[Malfoy Manor]] in [[1998]], which shows that Dolohov and Rowle did not remember having seen him earlier.</ref> Hermione had a wide knowledge and talent for the powerful shield charms she casted outside their tent each day while hunting for horcruxes. However, the one charm she always had trouble with was the [[Patronus Charm]], something Harry noted when she tried casting it when he, Hermione and Ron infiltrated the Ministry of Magic. Hermione was noted to have a speciality in creating [[Bluebell Flames|portable, waterproof fires]]. In her first year, Hermione used these fires, kept in a jar, to keep the trio warm during winter, and also used it to distract [[Severus Snape]], whom she thought was jinxing [[Harry Potter]]'s broom during his first [[Quidditch]] match. These flames were used again in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom to light the cauldron above one of the toilets while Polyjuice Potion was brewed in her second year so that Harry Potter and [[Ronald Weasley]] could interrogate [[Draco Malfoy]] about the [[Tom Riddle|Heir of Slytherin]]. Hermione even learned how to cast a corporeal [[Patronus Charm]] in her [[1995-1996 school year|fifth year]], and was the first to master the advanced spell in [[Dumbledore's Army]] under Harry's tutelage. It took the form of an otter.<ref name="OOTP" /> Harry once commented that the Patronus Charm was the only spell Hermione ever had trouble with,<ref name="DH" /> perhaps indicating that although she was skilled with the charm, it did not come as easily to her as most other spells as she perhaps lacked the self-confidence. During her sixth year, Hermione successfully cast the [[Confundus Charm]] on a broom, a charm so difficult [[Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] had to concentrate to cast it.<ref name="DH" /> Hermione also mentioned in [[1997]] that she had been practising how to use her Patronus for messaging,<ref name="DH" /> but it is unknown if she ever actually carried this out. |

||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Potioneer|Potions]]''': Hermione was able to brew the very advanced and difficult [[Polyjuice Potion]], by the time she was in [[1992|second year]] for her, Harry, and Ron to find the truth about the [[Chamber of Secrets]] from [[Draco Malfoy]] by disguising themselves as his friends.<ref name="CS" /> She achieved an '[[Outstanding]]' on her Potions [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.]] and was only one of twelve to advance to N.E.W.T.-level. She was able to identify potions and their effects quickly after having only read about them. She was the only one in her sixth year class who understood [[Golpalott's Third Law]], without need for further explanation and was able to compose an antidote containing fifty-two ingredients, including a chunk of her own hair. The only time she was ever out-smarted in potions was in her sixth year by [[Harry Potter]] because of using [[Severus Snape's copy of Advanced Potion-Making|Half-Blood Prince's old copy]] of the [[Advanced Potion-Making]] textbook that was full of hints and scribbles which helped Harry excel.<ref name="HBP" /> |

| − | {{Quote|Only Hermione Granger had made any difference to her match; [[Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] showed the class how it had gone all silver and pointy...|Hermione's achievement during her first Transfiguration lesson|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Transfiguration]]''': Hermione seemed to be particularly talented at Transfiguration. She was the first in her class to succeed at transfiguring a [[Match to needle|match into a needle]] in their first lesson, long before any other student<ref name="PS" /> and earned an '[[Outstanding]]' in her [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.]] exam. In 1994 she was the only one able to transform a [[Hedgehog to pincushion]]. She could also [[Vanishment|vanish]] objects, which is one of the hardest spells taught at [[Ordinary Wizarding Level]]. In 1995 she was able to vanish Harry Potter's [[potion]] after believing him to be finished with it and a kitten by mid-year the hardest vanishment challenge of all. Hermione was very skilled at [[conjuration]], an advanced type of transfiguration; for example, in her sixth year, she was able to conjure [[Bird-Conjuring Charm|a flock of canaries]],<ref name="HBP" /> and by the [[1997|next year]], she could conjure a [[Orchideous|wreath of flowers]] and a flask [[Nonverbal magic|non-verbally]]. She could also perform [[Human Transfiguration]], which is noted to be very difficult and did so in [[1998]] to disguise Ron during the [[1998 Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank|break-in at Gringotts Bank]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Dark charms]]''': Hermione was not known for her ability to cast Dark magic and the extent of her ability within this magical discipline is truly unknown (however, one would assume given her borderline genius status that she was no slouch). Still, she must have had some ability as she was able to come up with a very sophisticated [[jinx]] that would deform the face of a person who betrayed the [[Dumbledore's Army|D.A.]]. She was also able to successfully cast a [[Stinging Jinx|Stinging Hex]] at a moment's notice. In her fourth year she was also able to cast the [[Leg-Locker Curse]] in her first year and the [[Jelly-Legs Jinx]] in her sixth. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Apparition]]''': Hermione was the first in her [[Apparition (class)|class]] to [[Apparition|Apparate]] successfully, she had achieved Apparition twice in that time and passed her test on the first attempt. According to Ron, her performance was "''perfect''" and the [[Wilkie Twycross|instructor]] praised her talent greatly.<ref name="HBP" /> While on the hunt for the [[Horcrux]]es with Harry and Ron, Hermione frequently Apparated and Disapparated the three of them, twice when they were falling through the air.<ref name="DH" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Study of Ancient Runes]]''': Hermione was gifted in translating ancient runes into English. She earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L. in the subject and took it to [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]]-level. This is what later helped lead her, [[Harry Potter]], and [[Ronald Weasley]] to the [[Deathly Hallows]]. She later translated the original copy of {{TBB}} into English, which she published sometime before working at the [[British Ministry of Magic]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Herbology]]''': Hermione earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L. in this subject, thus showing she has great talent in this field as well. She was particularly skilled in spells related to magical plants. In her first year, she saved Harry and Ron from some [[Devil's Snare]] in the [[Underground Chambers]] by conjuring Bluebell Flames. She also had knowledge of various different plants; for example, in her [[second year]], she was the only one who knew what the [[Mandrake]] root was and what it did. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Arithmancy]]''': This was Hermione's favourite subject and, considering she was one of the few people to take this subject, she must have skill in this field, too. She earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L and took the subject to [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]]-level. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''Logical thinking and intelligence''': Hermione had a mastery of logic that most wizards lacked, as she stated that "''a lot of the greatest wizards haven't got an ounce of logic''". In 1992, Hermione was able to use logic to get [[Harry Potter]] past a protective measure that was taken to protect the [[Philosopher's Stone]] by [[Severus Snape]]. Hermione was noted to be a "''borderline genius''",<ref name="WBUR" /> getting top scores in every class, and getting 'Outstanding' in all her [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.s]] except [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]]. She often provided the trio with vital information when carrying out research into the various mysteries they faced. For example, she was the one to figure out through research that the monster in the [[Chamber of Secrets]] was a [[Basilisk]] and in her third that [[Remus Lupin|Professor Lupin]] was a werewolf. However, her intelligence could be a handicap. She tended to rely more heavily on facts and information that could be proven by background analysis rather than making intuitive leaps. Harry was generally the one to put the pieces together to create the final picture necessary to explain recent events and willing to make assumptions where Hermione disproved ideas if there was no clear evidence for them. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Muggle Studies]] (knowledge)''': This was one of the subjects Hermione chose to take in her third year with the aid of a [[Time-Turner]] but dropped the subject after a year, as Hermione was a [[Muggle-born]] [[Wizardkind|witch]] and so knew a great deal about [[Muggle]]s already. She was seemingly good at it because she could bring another point of view to the classroom and the lessons. She achieved a score of over 300% on her final exam in third year. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Astronomy]]''': Hermione was known to have gained an 'Outstanding' O.W.L. in this subject, but she decided not to continue with it at N.E.W.T.-level. She often helped [[Harry Potter]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] do their homework as they often didn't remember the required facts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[History of Magic]]''': Hermione was very interested in the history of the wizarding world from a young age. Even before starting at Hogwarts, she bought several books and learned them by heart, including ''Hogwarts: A History''. She was one of very few students who payed attention to Professor Binns' lectures. She earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L. in the subject, which was hard to do, considering how boring the class was said to be. She was also known to take excellent notes in the class. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Care of Magical Creatures]]''': Hermione earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L. in Care of Magical Creatures. She had no problem interacting with [[Buckbeak]] in her third year, but stated in her sixth that he scared her. Her skills with interacting with animals were also demonstrated with her views on [[House-elf|house-elves]] and her work on [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare|S.P.E.W.]]. She interacted well with house-elves like [[Dobby]] and [[Winky]] and it was Hermione who encouraged Harry to treat [[Kreacher]] more kindly after he inherited him. These skills allowed her to join the [[Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures]] where she continued her work with S.P.E.W., working for the rights of both house-elves and other underprivileged non-humans. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Healing magic]]''': Hermione had some basic skills with Healing Magic. She had knowledge of Mandrake's Healing properties in her second year, and was able to take care of both Harry Potter's wound from fighting Nagini and Ron Weasley's splinching wound in 1997. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Alchemy]] (theory)''': Hermione had read a book containing information on Alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone in her first year. In her sixth year, she easily understood Golpalott's Third law. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Quidditch]] (theory)''': Although she wasn't very interested in it, Hermione had some theoretical knowledge of Quidditch and Quidditch balls. She had read ''Quidditch through the Ages'' in her first year, and also knew about the Snitches' flesh memories, something of which Quidditch players Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley did not. |
||
| − | *'''Leadership skills:''' While Harry did the majority of leading among the trio, it was usually Hermione who kept him on track when he, Ron and Hermione had a task to do, and she sometimes did the same with Ron, demonstrating good leadership skills. Hermione also helped form and co lead Dumbledore's Army alongside Harry and Ron, and her leadership skills were again demonstrated when she joined the Ministry, as she helped improve the rights of House Elves and other underprivileged magical creatures in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and then got promoted to Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, in which she helped eradicate the old laws which only favoured pure bloods. She was eventually promoted to the post of Minister for Magic before 2019, which again demonstrated her good leadership skills, despite not desiring high positions and only leading when she was forced to do so and when the time was right. |

||
| − | [[File:HermioneGrangerWandNN8411.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Hermione's first wand]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's wand|Vinewood wand]]:''' Hermione purchased a 10¾" [[vine]] wood [[Hermione Granger's wand|wand]] with a [[dragon heartstring]] core in [[1991]]. There is a pattern of vines the whole way up the wands handle. She used it until the spring of [[1998]], when she, [[Harry Potter]], and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] were captured by [[Snatchers]], who confiscated their wands. She subsequently used [[Bellatrix Lestrange]]'s [[Bellatrix Lestrange's wand|wand]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Revealer]]:''' Hermione owns a [[Revealer]], which renders invisible ink visible. She tried to use it on Tom Riddle's diary but no ink showed up.<ref name="COS13">{{COS|B|13}}</ref> It is unknown if she still had it in her possession after 1992. |

||
| − | *'''[[Crookshanks]]:''' Hermione obtained a ginger part-[[Kneazle]] cat [[Crookshanks]], in [[1993]]. Crookshanks is highly intelligent, but was not fond of many people besides Hermione.<ref name="POA" /> It is unknown what happened to Crookshanks after Hermione left him at [[the Burrow]] in the summer of [[1997]] in order to locate and destroy [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]'s [[Horcrux]]es.<ref name="DH" /> It's very likely the two were reunited seeing their strong affection for one another. |
||
| − | *'''[[Time-Turner]]:''' In [[1993]], just before her [[third year]] at Hogwarts, Hermione obtained a [[Time-Turner]] from the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] in order to facilitate her attending more classes. She also used it, at the end of the school year, to save [[Sirius Black]] and [[Buckbeak]], along with [[Harry Potter]]. Afterwards, Hermione returned the Time-Turner, returning to a normal class schedule.<ref name="POA" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's beaded handbag|Charmed handbag]]:''' Hermione had a small, beaded [[Hermione Granger's handbag|handbag]] on which she placed an [[Undetectable Extension Charm]] in the summer of [[1997]]. She used the handbag to carry supplies such as clothing, books, [[Dittany]], and camping equipment on her, Harry, and Ron's quest to locate and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes.<ref name="DH" /> The bag was small enough to fit in her sock, so as to not have it stolen during the [[Skirmish at Malfoy Manor]]. |
||
| − | [[File:Tales of Beedle the Bard.png|150px|thumb|right|{{TBB}}]] |
||
| − | *'''{{TBB}}:''' [[Albus Dumbledore]] [[The Last Will and Testament of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore|bequeathed]] the original publication of {{TBB}}, written in runes, to Hermione. It contained a clue about the [[Deathly Hallows]] which led Hermione, Harry, and Ron to [[Xenophilius Lovegood]], who told them about the legendary items.<ref name="DH" /> Later in life, Hermione translated the book into English and published her translation. |
||
| − | *'''[[Bellatrix Lestrange's wand]]:''' In [[1998]], after the [[Skirmish at Malfoy Manor]], Hermione lost her own wand while Ron [[Disarming Charm|Disarmed]] [[Bellatrix Lestrange]]. Harry grabbed Bellatrix's [[Bellatrix Lestrange's wand|wand]] as they left, and Hermione subsequently used it, though it did not work well for her, as she did not win its allegiance. Hermione used this wand at least until the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], when she fought Bellatrix with her own wand.<ref name="DH" /> |
||
| − | [[File:Bellatrix Lestrange first wand.png|150px|thumb|right|Bellatrix Lestrange's first wand]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Advanced Rune Translation]]:''' Hermione owned a copy of this book, probably because it may have been required for her lessons in 6th year [[Study of Ancient Runes|Ancient Runes]] which she started in her 3rd year with the aid of a time turner. She was seen to be reading this book before the start of her 6th year, after her trip to [[Diagon Alley]]. |
||
| − | *'''[[Ancient Runes Made Easy]]:''' The book was on a beginners' level for [[Study of Ancient Runes|Ancient Runes]] Hermione was seen reading it in her [[second year]] when she was thinking about taking Ancient Runes for a subject in the following next year. She probably used the book in her [[third year]] when she took the subject. |
||
| − | *'''[[An Appraisal of Magical Education in Europe]]:''' This book is about [[magic]]al schools in Europe. Prior to [[1994]], Hermione had read it and learned of many things, including the [[Durmstrang Institute]]'s reputation for having an emphasis on [[Dark Arts|Dark Magic]]. It is also mentioned to have information about Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Later, in [[1997]], Hermione considered taking this book with her as she was sorting supplies for their mission to find [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]'s [[Horcrux]]es. It is not specified if it was one of the books she decided to bring with her when she left with [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]]. It is, however, unlikely as it was of no real use to them on their mission. |
||
| − | *'''[[Aqua Eructo spellbook]]:''' The copy which belonged to Hermione was originally the possession of [[Bartemius Crouch Junior|Barty Crouch Jr]]. who, at the time, was disguised as [[Alastor Moody|Professor Moody]]. Hermione, [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] used the book to perform the spell; [[Aqua Eructo Charm|Aqua Eructo]], which proved helpful in defeating the [[Salamander]] kept in the [[Professor]]'s rooms. |
||
| − | [[File:HermioneDressRobes.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Hermione in her dress robes]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's dress robes|Dress robes]]:''' Hermione wore a set of dress robes to the [[Yule Ball]] in [[1994]]. They were made of a "''floaty, periwinkle-blue material''" and were considered to be quite attractive. In [[1997]], Hermione, once again, wore dress robes to the Wedding of [[William Weasley]] and [[Fleur Delacour]]. They were lilac in colour and had matching shoes. |
||
| − | *'''[[Dumbledore's Army coin]]:''' The Dumbledore's Army coin was a fake [[Galleon]] created by Hermione in [[1995]] to inform members of [[Dumbledore's Army]] when the next meeting would take place. She used it a great deal and ensured that her spellwork was good enough to disguise the information as typical text on a [[Galleon]]. |
||
| − | [[File:Earrings.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Hermione's [[Yule Ball]] earrings]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's Yule Ball earrings|Yule Ball earrings]]:''' These were worn by Hermione to the Yule Ball in [[1994]]; her [[fourth year]], which she attended with [[Viktor Krum]], one of the four Champions in the [[Triwizard Tournament]] at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. |
||
| − | *'''[[Expelliarmus spellbook]]:''' This spellbook is a book that contained information on the [[Disarming Charm]]. It also contained the instructions on how to perform the spell. Hermione eventually persuaded [[Harry Potter]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] to learn the spell after a confrontation with [[Draco Malfoy]]. |
||
| − | *'''[[Gilderoy Lockhart's card to Hermione Granger]]:''' This letter was written by [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] to Hermione in [[1993]], expressing his get-well wishes. Hermione hid it under her pillow in the [[Hospital Wing]] until her friends [[Harry Potter]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] discovered it. |
||
| − | *'''[[Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century]]:''' This books is about prominent events in the [[wizarding world]] during the twentieth century. [[Harry Potter]] is mentioned in this book, which Hermione read before meeting him in person in [[1991]]. |
||
| − | *'''[[Herbivicus spellbook]]:''' The spellbook is a book containing information on how to perform the spell; [[Herbivicus Charm|Herbivicus]]. The first copy mentioned was owned by [[Professor]] [[Pomona Sprout]], who kept it in one of the gardens of the [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] greenhouses at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] Castle. [[Harry Potter]], [[Ronald Weasley]], and Hermione later came across it during the 1994–1995 school year and used it to learn the spell, which proved valuable against the plants that have not fully grown which can be found all over the [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] grounds. Hermione later, either purchased a copy for herself, or took the [[Professor]]'s. |
||
| − | [[File:Hpbookdh.jpg|150px|thumb|right|''The Life and Lies of [[Albus Dumbledore]]'']] |
||
| − | *'''[[The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore|A copy of ''The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore'']]:''' Hermione Granger had a copy of this book in her possession after her visit with [[Harry Potter|Harry]] to [[Godric's Hollow]] and their run in with [[Nagini]] disguised as [[Bathilda Bagshot]]. She picked it up as the two left the house and she read it while running and camping during her [[seventh year]] with [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]], attempting to find clues which would help her and her friends locate and destroy [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]'s [[Horcrux]]es. Given her animosity towards the author, Rita Skeeter, it is highly unlikely that she kept it following the Second Wizarding War. |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's necklace|Red-jewel necklace]]:''' This necklace was worn by Hermione to the wedding of [[William Weasley|Bill Weasley]] and [[Fleur Delacour]] in [[1997]]. She wore it up until she ran away from the wedding after it was attacked by [[Death Eaters]]. It was later destroyed by [[Scabior]] when she, [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] were taken to [[Malfoy Manor]]. |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's pencil case|Pencil case]]:''' She had a large pencil case which allowed her to keep all her quill and other writing equipment together. She is first noted to have had it in her [[sixth year]] when an argument with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] made her wipe her wet eyes on it. It is, however, highly possible that she owned this object since her [[first year]] and had not replaced it since. |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's scarf|A scarf]]:''' Hermione owned a dark purple/red scarf and wore it frequently in [[1997]] whilst on the run with [[Harry Potter]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] during the Second Wizarding War. She left it behind on their travels during her [[seventh year]] and it was later picked up by Scabior. |

||
| − | *'''[[Hogwarts: A History|A copy of Hogwarts: A History]]:''' Hermione Granger often referred to this book on many things concerning Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was her favourite book and she would often read it in her free time. Three of the main topics brought up in it talk about Apparition within the castle, muggle electronics and the ceiling in the [[Great Hall]]. |
||
| − | *'''[[Hermione Granger's watch|A watch]]:''' This watch was worn and used by Hermione Granger in her youth at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. She was seen to be wearing it during her [[third year|third]] and [[fourth year]]. |

They appeared to be accepting of the [[wizarding world]], as they went shopping with Hermione in [[Diagon Alley]] and allowed her to spend several holidays with the [[Weasley family]],<ref name="CS" /> but did not approve of their daughter using magic as a quick-fix, as indicated by their not allowing Hermione to magically fix her teeth.<ref name="GOF" /> They correspond by owl post with their daughter throughout the school year,<ref name="OOTP" /> but other than one holiday in [[France]] with her parents, Hermione spent almost all of her time in the wizarding world. In [[1995]], she planned to go [[skiing]] with them during the [[Christmas holidays]], but ended up going to [[12 Grimmauld Place]] to try to cheer Harry up instead. Hermione told her parents that the reason for her cancelling was to study for exams, indicating that her parents expected her to do well in school and were probably not aware of the extent of their daughter's involvement in activities relating to the [[Second Wizarding War]].<ref name="OOTP" /> |

| − | Hermione became friends with Harry Potter after they as well as [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] took down a [[Mountain Troll]] together in their first year.<ref name="PS" /> They tend to get along very well on a day-to-day basis, though Harry occasionally becomes annoyed by Hermione's nagging, while she occasionally becomes annoyed by his lack of discipline and conviction in his schoolwork. Their only notable row was over Hermione getting Harry's [[Firebolt]] confiscated in their third year, which she felt it might be a trap. Harry and Ron reconciled with Hermione after [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] scolded them for their treatment of her. Harry and Hermione are quite similar in their dour, brooding tendencies in times of trouble, and often need Ron's humour and levity to counterbalance their intense personalities. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Harry, Hermione, and Ron spent nearly all their time together during their years at Hogwarts, and shortly afterwards, Hermione led Harry through [[Time-Turner|time-travel]], and together they rescued [[Sirius Black]] and [[Buckbeak]]; Hermione breaking the rules of using her Time-Turner, something she admitted was incredibly dangerous, demonstrated the strength of her friendship with Harry.<ref name="POA" /> The [[1994|following year]], Hermione was the only student who believed Harry when he told her he had not put his name in the [[Goblet of Fire]], and spent much of the [[Triwizard Tournament]] teaching Harry useful spells and trying to reconcile him and Ron.<ref name="GOF" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | While Harry and Hermione typically row less than Ron and Hermione, they have the most philosophical and moral disagreements with one another. Ron typically defers to Harry's opinions on important decisions, and tends to hold back when Hermione confronts Harry about them, letting them battle it out. For example, Harry and Hermione fight about how best to deal with [[Dolores Umbridge]] when she infiltrates Hogwarts, whether or not Sirius's judgement can be trusted, whether or not Harry should try use [[Occlumency]] to block out his mental link with Voldemort, whether Dumbledore's past makes him an unworthy leader, and whether they should pursue the Hallows or the Horcruxes. Harry tends to be dismissive of Hermione's opinions, and can even grow angry when she tries to argue her point, but generally realises later that she was right. For example, Harry was often dismissive of Hermione's insistence that all [[house-elves]] deserve respect and kindness, and is neglectful towards [[Kreacher]] because of his bigotry until finally realising the horrifying nature of his enslavement. |

||
| − | |||
| − | While Harry tended to have more fun with Ron, Hermione was consistently his place of refuge when others abandoned him, from Ron's jealous withdrawal during the Triwizard Tournament, to Harry's discovery of Dumbledore's past during the war. Despite their differences, Harry and Hermione tended to support one another at the expense of others when necessary. Hermione repeatedly chose to help and support Harry in his fight against Voldemort, regardless of personal cost. Examples include breaking the laws regarding time travel in order to help him save Sirius, teaching him defensive magic in preparation for the [[Triwizard Tournament]], blackmailing [[Rita Skeeter]] in order to give him a way to tell the public about Voldemort's return, protecting him from torture by Dolores Umbridge, and Obliviating her parents in order to go on the run with him. She notably chose to support him even when Ron did not. Smaller acts of friendship include helping him with homework and cheering him on at Quidditch games. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Harry is similarly protective and supportive of Hermione. Much like Hermione, Harry is often a place of refuge for Hermione when others leave her. More so than Ron, Harry understands Hermione's emotional feelings and is compassionate towards her. Harry often comforts Hermione and shows her kindness and care when she is upset. On the occasion that Buckbeak the Hippogriff is executed, Harry consoles her as she cries. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He is also quick to defend Hermione from Cho Chang, Draco Malfoy, and others who insult her for her looks or parentage, and shows his pride in her intellect on numerous occasions. He consistently praises her intelligence and magical skills to teachers, asks her for help in dangerous situations, and defends her against bullies. On one occasion, he even chooses to side with her over Ron, supporting her when Ron begins a relationship with Lavender Brown. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Harry also defends Hermione physically on instinct. This shows his willingness to put her before himself as well as his unconditional brotherly love for her. For example, when Lupin turns into a werewolf and attacks Hermione and Harry, Harry shields her from the danger. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Many people, including [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]], [[Cho Chang]], [[Viktor Krum|Viktor, Krum]], [[Molly Weasley|Mrs Weasley]], and [[Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]], have occasionally mistaken Harry and Hermione's relationship to be a romantic one, given their closeness and expressions of physical affection, such as kisses on the cheek, staying by one another's bedsides when hurt or injured, embracing each other, and holding hands.<ref name="GOF" /><ref>The film adaptation of ''Goblet of Fire'' expands on this by having Hermione and Harry being caught in a friendly embrace by [[Rita Skeeter]] who incorrectly interprets it as teen romance. In the film adaptation of ''Half-Blood Prince'' Harry asks Hermione to go to Slughorn's party as his date, but she declines, having already decided to take McLaggen to annoy Ron.</ref> Harry eventually explains to Ron that he and Hermione are like brother and sister.<ref name="DH" /> They share similar upbringings as only children raised in the [[Muggle]] world, and show each other unconditional love despite many differences and disagreements. During their time alone during the war, Hermione and Harry experienced some "''charged moments,''" and "''shared something very intense''" of which no one else was a part of, however, their relationship ultimately remained platonic.<ref name="HAH">[[J. K. Rowling]]'s comments in ''[[Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon|Harry, A History]]''.</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | Hermione and Harry remained best friends into adulthood, and eventually became siblings in-law when Hermione married [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] and Harry married [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]]. Hermione was also the aunt and godmother of Harry's three children: [[James Potter II|James Sirius]], [[Albus Potter|Albus Severus]] and [[Lily Potter|Lily Luna]]. They were also coworkers for many years as employees of the Ministry of Magic in law enforcement. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is interesting to note that Albus Dumbledore's final plan to defeat Lord Voldemort, in which Harry would learn the story of the Deathly Hallows in time to use them against Voldemort, revolved not only around Harry himself, but Hermione as well. Dumbledore knew that Harry was too passionate and angry to be able to keep from attempting to become Master of Death, and so entrusted {{TBB}} to Hermione, so that she would learn of the Hallows' symbol first and would be able to caution and guide Harry down the path of reason. |

| − | [[File:Ron Weasley.jpg|220x220px|thumb|[[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]], the love of her life and father to her children]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ronald Weasley was, essentially, the love of Hermione's life. Although their relationship would have many ups and downs, Hermione and Ron Weasley were good friends for most of their years at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], and of course, were best friends with [[Harry Potter]], who was usually a mediator in their disputes. They tended to argue frequently, though they usually got over their arguments, which tended to be minor or about trivial issues, although there were a few times when it seemed as if their friendship would be irreparable. As they grew older and matured, Ron and Hermione tended to fight less often and become more in touch with their feelings for each other. Hermione sometimes had the tendency of calling [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] "''Ronald''". Their first major falling-out was in their third year, when Ron accused Hermione's pet cat [[Crookshanks]] of eating his pet rat [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]].<ref name="POA" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hints of their feelings were also shown in their third year as after Ron saw [[Sirius Black|Black]] standing over him with a knife, Hermione was shocked and scared the most and even cried. They were both very awkward and embarrassed at times, being insecure with their own feelings for each other, and Ron was frequently jealous that Harry and Hermione liked each other. Ron was used to always being in Harry's shadow and did not want the girl he loved to be also taken from him by his best friend. Ron and Hermione's relationship again suffered when Ron began dating [[Lavender Brown]] in [[1996]], though the two reconciled after Ron was accidentally poisoned, leaving Hermione shaken. Ron's relationship with Lavender ended soon after, and both he and Hermione were more content for it.<ref name="HBP" /> |

||
| − | |||
| − | Hints of romantic feelings between the two could be seen as early as their [[1992|second year]], as Ron was particularly protective of Hermione and disgusted by her crush on [[Gilderoy Lockhart]].<ref name="CS" /> During the [[Yule Ball]] in [[1994]], Hermione was affronted by Ron's clumsy attempt to ask her to go with him, and Ron was jealous of her attendance with [[Viktor Krum]]; this jealousy would persist for years. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In turn, Hermione was jealous of Ron's crush on [[Fleur Delacour]], though expressed it in a subtler way. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In their fifth year, Hermione kissed Ron on the cheek before the [[Inter-House Quidditch Cup|Quidditch Tournament]], to which he reacted by being "puzzled" and touching the spot where she kissed him. During Gryffindor's Quidditch try-outs in their sixth year, Hermione also [[Confundus Charm|Confunded]] Cormac McLaggen to increase Ron's chances of being made the team's Keeper. Also, Hermione became jealous (but she tried to conceal it) when Ron began dating [[Lavender Brown]] and kissing her frequently. |

Weeks and weeks, we could have been ''dead''…|Hermione and Ron after the latter's return to her and Harry|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | By the summer of [[1997]], the two were closer than ever and "sort of" together, according to Harry. They danced together at [[William Weasley|Bill]] and Fleur's [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|wedding]], and were generally kinder to one another. During the hunt for the [[Horcrux]]es, Ron comforted Hermione several times by putting his arm around her, and Harry believed that they might have fallen asleep holding hands. Hermione was extremely upset when Ron temporarily left her and Harry, crying often, and she was absolutely furious with him when he returned. It was also revealed, through a vision caused by the [[Salazar Slytherin's Locket|locket Horcrux]], that one of Ron's deepest fears was that Hermione preferred Harry to him. |

| − | [[File:Tumblr m3kwi2wtXM1qfvbw2o9 r2 250.gif|240x240px|thumb|left|Ron and Hermione's first kiss during the Battle of Hogwarts]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | The two eventually made up, and Hermione initiated a kiss during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], when Ron suggested saving the [[house-elf|house-elves]] and not ordering them to fight for wizards. Hermione, who had been a promoter of house-elf rights since her fourth year and even started her own society to help house-elves (the [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare]]) was so delighted at Ron's unexpected display of sensitivity that she kissed him on the lips, something that was met with surprise, eagerness and enthusiasm, but caused the pair to become embarrassed after Harry asked them to "''hold it in''". |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some people had expected Ron and Hermione to become more than friends much sooner (when Ron was in the hospital wing after being poisoned and Hermione stayed with him holding his hand, Ginny said "''About time, don't you think?''") and Harry Potter had even thought that they would start dating in their sixth year. In 1997, when the Trio was captured by [[Snatchers]] and brought to [[Malfoy Manor]], [[Fenrir Greyback]] mistakenly called Ron Hermione's boyfriend when she tried to protect him. Also, Ron screamed and yelled and was in terrible distress when he heard Hermione being tortured by [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] in Malfoy Manor. The pair eventually married and had two children, [[Rose Granger-Weasley|Rose]] and [[Hugo Granger-Weasley|Hugo Weasley]].<ref name="DH" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | They were rather young when they were married, and their relationship evolved over time. By the time that Hermione was elected Minister For Magic, Ron had become more the stay-at-home-dad due to the convenience it placed on their respective careers, as Ron's entrepreneurial exploits could be more easily conducted than Hermione's careers in law enforcement and eventually politics. Their combative relationship eventually subsided for a more affectionate one, as Ron was seen to kiss Hermione in public extremely often as noted by their nephew, Albus Potter. Hermione was initially wary when Ron spoke of how early they had married and was jokingly suspicious that he wanted a break from their marriage, but was deeply moved when Ron told her that he wanted to renew their vows and marry her all over again after reading about how Muggles occasionally did such a thing. Hermione was so touched by her husband's suggestion that they began to kiss passionately over her mountain of paperwork in her office. This shows how Ron had matured into a startling romantic over the years and how it helped to temper their initially rocky relationship that begun 31 years prior. |

| − | [[File:Ginny Weasley.jpg|211x211px|thumb|[[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]], her good friend and future sister-in-law]] |
||
| − | Ginny Weasley was Hermione's best female friend. The two grew close when Hermione stayed in Ginny's room at [[the Burrow]] during her many summertime visits. Ginny was the only one Hermione told about being asked to the [[Yule Ball]] by [[Viktor Krum]],<ref name="GOF" /> while Hermione was the only one who knew that Ginny had been learning to fly in secret for years.<ref name="OOTP" /> She also gave Ginny advice about dealing with her feelings for Harry — advice that eventually led to the two dating,<ref name="HBP" /> and eventually marrying. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione comforted Ginny after an encounter with [[Dementor]]s upset her in [[1993]],<ref name="POA" /> and after the death of her brother [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] in [[1998]].<ref name="DH" /> However, Hermione would not have been afraid to stand up to Ginny when she felt that Ginny was wrong. The two remained very close after [[Second Wizarding War|the war]] and eventually became sisters-in-law when Hermione married Ron, making her an aunt to Ginny's three children, [[James Potter II|James]], [[Albus Potter|Albus]], and [[Lily L. Potter|Lily]], as well as being chosen to be godmother to Ginny's eldest son James, and making Ginny Rose and Hugo's aunt and almost certainly Rose's godmother. |

||
| − | [[File:Weasley Wizarding Vacation in Egypt.png|235x235px|thumb|left|The [[Weasley family]], her future in-laws]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Because of her friendships with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]], Hermione became friendly with the entire [[Weasley family]]. She spent a portion of many of her summer holidays at their home of [[the Burrow]], and attended some family outings with them, such as shopping for school supplies in [[Diagon Alley]] and attending the [[1994]] [[Quidditch World Cup]] with them. [[Arthur Weasley]] was fascinated by the [[Muggle]] world and thus Hermione's background, and even invited Hermione's [[Granger family|parents]] for a drink upon first meeting them. [[Molly Weasley]] was fond of Hermione, though she treated her coldly for a brief time after [[Rita Skeeter]] printed lies about Hermione toying with the hearts of [[Harry Potter]] and [[Viktor Krum]], much to Hermione's bewilderment. After Harry explained that the stories were false, Mrs Weasley once again warmed up to Hermione. Also, she and [[Percy Weasley]] were considered to be on good terms until their fight over elf rights.{{Dialogue a-b|Hermione|A genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dim-witted as an ageing potion.|George Weasley |Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant!

||
| − | [[File:Fred and George Weasley Deathly Hallows promotional image.jpg|235x235px|thumb|[[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley]], her friends and future brothers-in-laws]] |
||
| − | Fred and George Weasley seemed to regard Hermione and Harry almost like other younger siblings, teasing them as well as being protective of them. When [[Draco Malfoy]] called Hermione a "[[Mudblood]]" in [[1992]], the twins were outraged, and attempted to attack him.<ref name="CS" /> Although Hermione disapproved of some of their antics, trying to use her status as a [[prefect]] to keep them in line, she still got on well with them. Hermione once argued with them that the [[Ageing Potion]] they planned on using to trick the age line protecting the [[Goblet of Fire]] wouldn't work because Dumbledore would have already thought of a foolish ageing potion. They didn't listen and tried to cross the line which resulted in them being thrown back and grow long, white beards.The only time she was notably angry with them was when they tested out their [[Skiving Snackbox]]es on unsuspecting [[first year]] students; though the twins initially scoffed at her concerns and her ability to make them stop, they backed down when she threatened to tell their [[Molly Weasley|mother]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, Hermione still admired the cleverness and creativity of their spell work,<ref name="OOTP" /> once remarking that they could do some "''extraordinary magic''," which Fred was flattered enough by to offer Hermione material from their [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes|joke shop]] free of charge.<ref name="HBP" /> Fred and George also tried to get Hermione to relax, joking around with her about things such as their late uncle [[Bilius]]'s penchant for making mischief at weddings.<ref name="DH" /> Hermione was devastated when Fred was killed during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. Hermione was not as close to the other Weasley siblings, though she was invited to [[William Weasley|Bill]]'s [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|wedding]] to [[Fleur Delacour]] in [[1997]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With her marriage to Ron, Hermione became a part of the Weasley family herself. |

||
| − | [[File:FLEUR1.jpg|220x220px|thumb|left|[[Fleur Delacour]], her future sister-in-law]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Hermione first met Fleur Delacour, an incredibly beautiful, [[France|French]], part-[[Veela]] [[Wizardkind|witch]], in [[1994]], during the [[Triwizard Tournament]]. Hermione disliked Fleur almost immediately, as she was given to fussily and loudly criticising nearly everything at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], from the weather, to the decoration and food. The fact that Ron had a little bit of a crush on Fleur didn't help, but he eventually got over it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione, like Ginny and [[Molly Weasley|Mrs Weasley]], was infuriated by Fleur's arrogance and constant complaining when [[William Weasley|Bill Weasley]] sent Fleur, his then fiancée, to [[the Burrow]] to get to know his family. However, when Fleur responded to Bill becoming permanently disfigured by [[Fenrir Greyback]] with indignant denial that Bill's appearance would in any way effect their marital plans, Hermione most likely set her feelings aside. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Despite seeming rather inconsiderate and self-centred, Fleur proved to be courageous and ultimately caring, even selfless, in her own way. She put her life in danger by posing as one of Harry's decoys in the [[Battle of the Seven Potters]], and after the [[Skirmish at Malfoy Manor|Battle of Malfoy Manor]], Hermione, Harry and Ron, along with [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Dean Thomas]], and an injured [[Garrick Ollivander]] and [[Griphook]], stayed with Bill and Fleur for a month at [[Shell Cottage]], where Fleur took care of them all like a mother. Later, Fleur became Hermione's sister-in-law through her marriage to [[William Weasley|Bill Weasley]], and Hermione's marriage to [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Rose started her first year at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] in [[2017]], along with her cousin, [[Albus Potter|Albus]]. Ron stated that Rose had inherited her mother's brains. Hermione was probably very close to Rose because she was also described as smart, yet not a complete know-it-all. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hugo was born in [[2006]] or [[2007]]. He most likely inherited his father's [[Quidditch]] skills, as he is noted to fly a lot with his cousins [[Albus Potter]] and [[James Potter II|James Potter]]. He also appears to have a quiet demeanour. |

| − | |||
| − | As four of [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]]'s five surviving siblings were married by 2017, Hermione had quite a few nieces and nephews through her husband: [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny]] had three children ([[James Potter II|James]], [[Albus Potter|Albus]] and [[Lily Potter|Lily]]), as did [[William Weasley|Bill]] and [[Fleur Delacour|Fleur]] ([[Victoire Weasley|Victoire]], [[Dominique Weasley|Dominique]] and [[Louis Weasley|Louis]]), while [[George Weasley|George]] and [[Angelina Johnson]] had a son and a daughter ([[Fred Weasley II|Fred]] and [[Roxanne Weasley|Roxanne]]), and [[Percy Weasley]] had two daughters ([[Molly Weasley II|Molly]] and [[Lucy Weasley|Lucy]]) with his wife, [[Audrey Weasley|Audrey]]. [[Victoire Weasley]], one of Fleur and Bill's daughters, was seen kissing [[Edward Lupin|Teddy Lupin]] at [[King's Cross Station]], by [[James Potter II|James Potter]], Hermione's nephew and godson.

That same year, Neville asked Hermione to attend the [[Yule Ball]] with him, as she had "''always been really nice''" to him, though she had already agreed to accompany [[Viktor Krum]].<ref name="GOF" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione often fiercely defended Neville when others insulted him, and her friendship and support, as well as that of other [[Dumbledore's Army|D.A.]] members, likely contributed to Neville gradually gaining self-confidence and courage.<ref name="DH" /> Neville was obviously very fond of Hermione, and appreciative of her kindness and all the help she had given him. It was hinted that he spoke of her frequently to his grandmother, [[Augusta Longbottom]], who seemed to already know a good deal about Hermione when they first met at Saint Mungo's in [[1995]].

Hermione first met Luna on the [[Hogwarts Express]] in [[1995]]; she insulted ''[[The Quibbler]]'', but backtracked when Luna told her that her [[Xenophilius Lovegood|father]] was the editor. Hermione was frustrated with Luna's belief in all manner of things without proof or logical grounds, but eventually simply accepted their differences, telling Luna that her planned trip to Sweden in search of a [[Crumple-Horned Snorkack]] sounded "''lovely''".<ref name="OOTP" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The following year, Luna comforted Hermione when she was upset over her fight with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]].<ref name="HBP" /> Hermione was one of the five portraits Luna painted — along with Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Neville — and hung from her bedroom ceiling, the word "''friends''" linking them in gold writing. When [[Xenophilius Lovegood]] attempted to turn Harry, Ron, and Hermione over to [[Death Eaters]] in exchange for his daughter's safety, Hermione [[Ambush at the Lovegood House|engineered their escape]] so that the Death Eaters saw Harry briefly, thus ensuring that both Luna and her father were not harmed. Despite disagreeing with Luna on many things herself, Hermione defended her when others insulted her; for example, she tried to kick Ron for teasing Luna about [[Gurdyroot]]s at the [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|wedding]] of [[William Weasley|Bill Weasley]] and [[Fleur Delacour]], and snapped at the portrait of [[Phineas Nigellus Black]] for calling Luna an oddity. The two girls remained close friends in adulthood and saw each other regularly.

She had high expectations for Hermione, and was thus disappointed in her when Hermione claimed she tried to fight the [[troll]] that entered the school in [[1991]] on her own, in order to cover up for Harry and Ron. Whenever Hermione and her friends would get into trouble, McGonagall almost inevitably looked to Hermione to be the most sensible one.<ref name="PS" /> |

He took to following Hermione into the library, watching her and trying to "''pluck up the courage''" to speak to her. Eventually, he asked her to be his date to the [[Yule Ball]], and Hermione accepted. Their arrival together caused something of a stir, given Viktor's fame and Hermione's exceptional, and rather unexpected, beauty. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione's roommates at Hogwarts were fellow [[Gryffindor]]s Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil as well as [[Fay Dunbar]] and [[Fay Dunbar's friend|another girl]]. While Lavender and Parvati swiftly became best friends, Hermione was not very close to either of them. Although the girls did not dislike each other, they had very different interests and sometimes clashed as a result. For example, Hermione scorned [[Divination]], Lavender and Parvati's favourite subject, and accidentally upset Lavender with her clumsy attempt to comfort her over the death of her rabbit.<ref name="POA" /> Hermione was also angry with Lavender for doubting [[Harry Potter]]'s assertion that [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] had returned in [[1995]] and snapped at her about it. When Lavender began dating Ron Weasley, she was very upset and confided in Harry about her feelings. Once they broke up however, Hermione chose to not display open affection towards Ron so Lavender's feelings would not get hurt. She also came to Lavender's rescue during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], blasting [[Fenrir Greyback]] away from her.<ref name="DH" /> |

| − | [[File:ParvatiPoA.jpg|224x224px|thumb|left|[[Parvati Patil]], her roommate]] |
||
| − | Hermione had a less tumultuous relationship with Parvati, although the two were not close. During Hermione's first year at Hogwarts, she hugged Parvati after Harry caught the Snitch at a [[Quidditch]] game. Parvati was noted to feel guilty after laughing at Ron's cruel teasing of Hermione in [[Transfiguration]], and the two discussed Hermione's attendance of the [[Slug Club Christmas party]] with [[Cormac McLaggen]]. As Parvati looked “''positively agog''” at Hermione confiding in her,<ref name="HBP" /> it can be assumed that Hermione seldom discussed personal matters with her room mates. |

| − | [[File:Draco Malfoy (HBP promo).jpg|243x243px|thumb|[[Draco Malfoy]], her school bully]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Draco Malfoy, of an old and wealthy [[pure-blood]] [[Malfoy family|family]] with [[Death Eaters|Death Eater]] ties, was raised to believe in the inferiority of [[Muggle-born]]s, and thus treated Hermione with disdain. This was probably exacerbated by Hermione's friendship with Harry and Ron, who shared a strong enmity with Draco from virtually the moment they met, and her beating Draco in school marks, for which his [[Lucius Malfoy|father]] berated him.<ref name="CS" /> Draco frequently called Hermione the disparaging term "[[Mudblood]]," which usually set off the tempers of her friends — and the entire [[Gryffindor]] [[Quidditch]] team when he first said it to her face in [[1992]]<ref name="CS" /> — but Hermione tended to ignore Draco and urged Harry and Ron to do the same. Occasionally she would snap back at him, and in their third year, she even slapped<!-- ATTENTION: DON'T change this to "punched." Within the wiki canon policy, the books supersede the films. Hermione never punched him in the book.--> him when he mocked [[Rubeus Hagrid]] for being upset over the impending execution of [[Buckbeak]], for which Draco was largely responsible.<ref name="POA" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In spite of his prejudice and dislike toward Hermione, Draco was reluctant to confirm her identity when he was asked to do so by his parents and aunt [[Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix]] in [[1998]], avoiding even looking at her. As an adult sobered by his wartime experiences, Draco was civil towards Hermione and her friends, and friendly with her nephew, Albus Potter.<ref name="DH" />He even found the idea of taking orders from her during their ambush in 1981 of Delphini to be darkly humorous. Draco's civility towards Hermione during this time was likely reinforced due to her being the Minister For Magic in Britain at the time, and possibly due to her relations to Albus Potter, the best friend of his own son, Scorpius. |

| − | [[File:Full-robbie-coltrane-25274414.jpg|226x226px|thumb|left|[[Rubeus Hagrid]], her friend and professor]] |
||
| − | Rubeus Hagrid was the [[Keeper of Keys and Grounds|Gamekeeper]] and [[Care of Magical Creatures]] professor at Hogwarts, as well as a member of the [[Order of the Phoenix]] during the [[First Wizarding War|First]] and [[Second Wizarding War]]s. Since Hagrid had met [[Harry Potter]] prior to the start of Hermione's first year at Hogwarts, Hermione grew closer to Hagrid as her friendship with Harry developed, eventually coming to visit him in his [[Rubeus Hagrid's cabin|hut]] regularly with Harry and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]]. In their second year, Hagrid comforted Hermione when she was called a "''a filthy little mudblood''" by Draco Malfoy. Though she disapproved of Hagrid's penchant for collecting dangerous [[Creatures|pets]], she tended to more pro-actively support him in his efforts to care for them than Harry and Ron, as when Hagrid was attempting to appeal the execution of [[Buckbeak]] and raise his half-brother [[Grawp]]. In turn, it was Hagrid who encouraged Ron and Harry to re-think their treatment of Hermione when the three had a brief falling out over Hermione getting Harry's new [[Firebolt]] confiscated in their third year. When [[Dolores Umbridge]] threatened Hagrid's job during the 1995-1996 school year, Hermione advised him to teach only materials related to their O.W.Ls, so as not to give Umbridge any excuse to fire him, and worked tirelessly to keep him on track. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hagrid remained close to the trio throughout their time at Hogwarts, and fought various battles in the course of the [[Second Wizarding War]]. In [[2017]], Harry's sons planned to meet Hagrid in his hut for tea soon after arriving at school, and it's very likely that Hermione and Ron's [[Rose Granger-Weasley|daughter]] would have been joining them. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione was among the students who were very impressed by Remus Lupin's teaching in 1993, when he was appointed [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor. Hermione deduced he was a [[werewolf]] during the school year, yet chose to keep it a secret in order to respect his privacy. Towards the end of the year, however, Lupin admitted that he was a werewolf to Harry, Ron and Hermione whilst in the [[Shrieking Shack]]. Following the events in this dilapidated building, Lupin became fully prepared to help [[Sirius Black]] kill [[Peter Pettigrew]], the wizard who betrayed [[James Potter I|James]] and [[Lily J. Potter|Lily Potter]] to [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]. However, thanks to Harry's intervention, they chose not to commit the murder, inadvertently allowing Pettigrew to escape. Lupin had referred to Hermione as the cleverest witch of her age he had ever seen before to this. Hermione, meanwhile, did not concern herself with Lupin's lycanthropy, she judged him only by his good nature and the content of his character. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione met Lupin again in 1995 at the [[12 Grimmauld Place|Headquarters]] of the [[Order of the Phoenix]]. She and Lupin both fought against the [[Death Eaters]] during the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]] in 1996, and survived (despite Hermione being side-swiped by Dolohov's curse). They also fought in the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]] and the [[Battle of the Seven Potters]] alongside, both emerging alive and relatively unscathed on the two occasions. Hermione was pleased to learn that Lupin had married [[Nymphadora Tonks]] before the Battle of the Seven Potters began, and became even more joyful at the news of Lupin's son, [[Edward Lupin|Ted Lupin]], being born; joining in on the celebratory festivities at [[Shell Cottage]]. Hermione was devastated by Lupin's and Tonks' [[death]]s in 1998, becoming friendly with their orphaned son, [[Edward Lupin|Teddy Lupin]], later on in life. |

||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Sirius Black profile.jpg|247x247px|thumb|left|[[Sirius Black]], her friend]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione first learned about Sirius Black in [[1993]], when he escaped [[Azkaban]]. The wizarding world at large knew of him as the wizard who murdered twelve Muggles and a wizard ([[Peter Pettigrew]]) with a single curse. Very few knew of his affiliation with the Potters and those who did also believed that Sirius had betrayed [[James Potter I|James]] and [[Lily J. Potter|Lily Potter]] to Voldemort by revealing their location at [[Godric's Hollow]]. During the events at Hogwarts in [[1993]], Hermione along with Harry, Ron and Lupin discovered that, contrary to their previous beliefs, Sirius Black had never committed the murders for which he had been incarcerated, nor had he betrayed his closest friends. The trio managed to save Sirius and Lupin from being subjected to the [[Dementor's Kiss]] at the hands of [[Severus Snape]] by firing three simultaneous [[Disarming Charm]]s at him. Snape was blasted off his feet and knocked unconscious, allowing Harry, Ron and Hermione to continue their interrogation of Sirius who later revealed that Pettigrew had disguised himself in his rat [[Animagus]] form for twelve years in order to escape justice and the wrath of Voldemort's remaining Death Eaters. However, upon exiting the [[Whomping Willow]]'s secret passageway together, Pettigrew shrewdly used Lupin's werewolf transformation as a distraction and escaped. Sirius was soon apprehended and locked in [[Filius Flitwick]]'s office to await the Dementor's Kiss. Harry and Hermione would later use the latter's [[Time-Turner]] to [[Rescue of Sirius Black and Buckbeak|rescue]] Sirius, who became deeply grateful to both of them. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[1994]], Hermione, Harry, and Ron visited Sirius at the cave off [[Hogsmeade]] village he was hiding in, bringing him food. Here they discussed the many mysteries that had occurred during that year, the trio learning valuable pieces of information regarding the imprisonment of [[Bartemius Crouch Junior|Barty Crouch Jr]] After the events of the Third Task, Sirius (while in his Animagus form) joined Hermione, Ron and [[Molly Weasley]] at Harry's bedside, each indicating their affections for the latter. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione and Sirius would not meet again until the summer of [[1995]], at the Headquarters of the second [[Order of the Phoenix]]. Sirius was obliged to remain in [[12 Grimmauld Place]] for his own safety (his innocence not yet recognised by the Ministry). Sirius was rather disappointed when Harry was allowed to return to Hogwarts, Hermione pointing out that he had probably been secretly wishing that Harry had been expelled from school so that they could both stay at Grimmauld Place and be "''outcasts together''". Hermione expressed an even deeper understanding of Sirius's emotions when she stated her opinion to Harry that Sirius was attempting to relive his happier school days through his godson. Harry ignored this and became slightly agitated at the suggestion that Sirius might be guilty of such a crude, selfish mentality. However, she severely disapproved of his indifferent and occasionally cruel treatment of his [[house-elf]], [[Kreacher]], despite the fact that Kreacher initially appeared to be disgusted by her and addressed her as "the [[Mudblood]]" (which Hermione often attributed to Kreacher being senile due to his old age.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | She also thought that Sirius was attempting to live vicariously through her, Harry and Ron when he encouraged them to form Dumbledore's Army, but the two boys became angry and snapped at her when she expressed this belief. Sirius was eventually killed by [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] in the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]], much to the dismay of his friends and loved ones. Hermione was devastated by his death, and often tried to provide comfort to Harry, who had been even more deeply affected by the tragedy. At the end of the [[Second Wizarding War]], Hermione became godmother to Harry's eldest son, [[James Potter II|James Sirius]], whose first and middle name was derived from James Potter and Sirius Black respectively. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Severus Snape was the [[Potions (class)|Potions]] [[Potions Master|Master]] during most of Hermione's time at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. He was also the [[Head of Slytherin House]], and tended to openly show preferential treatment for the students of his own house, while being quick to criticise and deduct points from [[Gryffindor]] students. He was particularly unpleasant towards the trio, and regularly punished and verbally assaulted Harry and Ron for their poor to mediocre performances in his class. He could not do the same to Hermione, as she was the best student in the year and instead mocked her for things like being an "''insufferable know-it-all,''" once even snidely insulting the size of Hermione's teeth.<ref name="GOF" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Despite his pre-existing dislike for Gryffindor,<ref name="DH" /> Snape's treatment of Hermione likely had more to do with her close friendship with Harry. Despite this, Hermione was still seen to defend Snape on occasion when Harry and Ron blamed him for evil deeds which occurred in [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], like setting the troll in the dungeon and trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone in Harry's first year. After Dumbledore's death, she like many, believed that Snape was a coward who killed a man who trusted him more than anyone. It is unknown exactly how she reacted to learning of Snape's true motives and allegiance, but given her personality, it is highly likely that she came to both forgive her former Professor's cruelty, and even admire him for his bravery. |

| − | As with most aspects of the [[wizarding world]], Hermione read about Albus Dumbledore shortly after learning that she was a [[Wizardkind|witch]]. She first met the Hogwarts headmaster during her her first year at the school, in [[1991]], and quickly came to respect Dumbledore's immense power and seemingly infinite wisdom. Although Dumbledore was not as close with her as he was with [[Harry Potter]], he showed great insight into her character very early on. She was one of only three students Dumbledore bequeathed a personal item, as he believed her to be, along with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]], trustworthy of accompanying Harry on his mission to destroy [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]'s [[Horcrux]]es. He respected her intellect, perspicacity, and level-headedness, admitting to Harry that he had counted on Hermione to keep things in perspective when the trio finally discovered the existence of the [[Deathly Hallows]]. Hermione was devastated when Dumbledore was killed, and visited his [[Albus Dumbledore's portrait|portrait]] with Harry and Ron after the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] to determine the fate of the Hallows. |

She seemed to think he was gorgeous, although no one else had wanted to buy him when he was still being sold at the Menagerie, and believed he was very clever; the latter proved to be quite true during the [[1993-1994 school year]], when Crookshanks recognised that Hermione had left him at [[the Burrow]] before Bill and Fleur's [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|wedding]], most likely had been left in care of Mrs Weasley or Ginny but it is possible that they were reunited after the war. |

McLaggen was apparently interested in Hermione, as he escorted her to the party and was very forward with her romantically while there. This, as well as his tendency to boast about himself, put Hermione off, and she soon abandoned him for the company of [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Luna Lovegood|Luna]] before leaving the party altogether to avoid him.<ref name="HBP" /> It can be assumed that the party was the end of their interaction. |

Pansy had a tendency to taunt and snipe at Hermione, [[Harry Potter|Harry]], and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] at any given opportunity, though Hermione rarely seemed more than slightly irritated by her comments; the major exception to that most likely would have been Pansy's attempt to surrender Harry to [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] shortly prior to the start of the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | While covering the [[Triwizard Tournament]] in Hermione's fourth year, [[Daily Prophet]] journalist Rita Skeeter wrote a number of exaggerated and slanderous stories about [[Harry Potter]] and his friends, including one that outed [[Rubeus Hagrid]] as a [[half-giant]]. Harry and Hermione angrily confronted Rita about this. After Hermione insulted her, Rita published another article that portrayed Hermione as manipulative and ambitious, claiming that she was toying with the emotions of both Harry Potter and [[Viktor Krum]]. This resulted in Hermione receiving several letters of hate mail, including a few [[Howler]]s and at least one envelope filled with [[bubotuber pus]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione became obsessed with getting back at Rita and uncovering how she was getting all of her information. Finally, near the end of the school year Hermione realised that Rita Skeeter was an unregistered [[Animagus]]. She caught Rita in her beetle form attempting to eavesdrop on Harry in the [[Hospital Wing]] after the [[Triwizard Tournament|Third Task]]. Hermione sealed her inside a small bottle. Hermione blackmailed Rita into giving up writing for one year, otherwise her unregistered status would be revealed. As the penalties are apparently quite severe, Rita had no choice but to comply. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] began using the ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' in its smear campaign against Harry, Hermione was again able to blackmail Rita, this time into writing an article for ''[[The Quibbler]]'' that would allow Harry to tell his side of the story. After her one year punishment was over, Rita went back to writing with as much enthusiasm and as little scruples as she had before, although it's unknown if she ever crossed Hermione again. Given her notable lack of commentary regarding Hermione during the 2014 Quidditch World Cup in Egypt, it is likely that Rita remained extremely wary of Hermione's wrath 19 years following her being blackmailed by the prodigious witch. |

| − | [[File:Dolores Umbridge.jpg|220x220px|thumb|right|[[Dolores Umbridge]], her former professor and enemy]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Dolores Umbridge was appointed [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor by the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]], in [[1995]]. She was a sadistic woman who enjoyed punishing and torturing students using the [[Black Quill]], most notably when she forced [[Harry Potter]] to carve ''"I must not tell lies''" into the back of his own hand. Umbridge was as obsessed with blood-status as the [[Death Eaters]], and had a particular hatred of what she called "''half-breeds''." Hermione, like most of the students and staff at Hogwarts, hated Umbridge. Hermione was one of the first to pick up on the true motives behind Umbridge's appointment at the magical school. In turn, Umbridge was not too fond of Hermione, who was not only [[Muggle-born]], but was also probably far too perceptive for her liking, as well as being outspokenly opposed to a purely theoretical [[Defence Against the Dark Arts|defensive]] magical education. When Umbridge planned to use [[Veritaserum]] and then the [[Cruciatus Curse]] on Harry, Hermione was the one who came up with the lie that led to them venturing into the [[Forbidden Forest]] and Umbridge eventually being dragged away by a [[Forbidden Forest Centaur colony|herd of offended centaurs]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione next met Umbridge a second time at the Ministry of Magic in 1997, when Hermione was disguised as [[Mafalda Hopkirk]] through the usage of [[Polyjuice Potion]]. Umbridge was, at the time, interrogating "Mudblood" witches and wizards, prior to sending them to [[Azkaban]]. Harry stunned Umbridge and retrieved [[Salazar Slytherin's Locket]], one of Voldemort's hocruxes which Umbridge had taken from [[Mundungus Fletcher]] and was attempting to pass off as a family heirloom and proof of her relation to the [[Selwyn family]]. Hermione replaced the locket by duplicating it with the Geminio spell so Umbridge would not know that it had been taken from her. The trio proceeded to free all the Muggle-Borns awaiting interrogation. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Suffice it to say that Umbridge personified everything that Hermione detested and loathed in Wizarding society, including but not limited to racial prejudice, sadism, malicious misuse of power, authoritarianism, and pure-blood supremacy. |

| − | |||
| − | Hermione first learned about Lord Voldemort, the most dangerous [[Dark Wizard]] of all time, after reading about him sometime before she began attending [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] . During her first year, she and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] helped [[Harry Potter]] reach the [[Philosopher's Stone]] and protect it from Voldemort. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A year later, Hermione, after fully recovering from her Polyjuice mishap, was shown [[T. M. Riddle's Diary]] by Harry. At first enthusiastic that the book might have "magical powers", Hermione first came up with the theory that it was Tom Riddle who originally "caught" the "Heir of Slytherin" when the [[Chamber of Secrets]] had been opened fifty years prior. She also correctly guessed that the Diary contained the answers to the Chamber's location, how to open it, and the true identity of Slytherin's monster. Thinking that the Diary was written in invisible ink, the attempted to use the spell ''[[Revealing Charm|Aparecium]]'', and then a [[Revealer]], on the object, but to no effect. Later on, when Harry went to the trophy room to try to learn more about Tom Riddle, he was accompanied by an "interested" Hermione. When Ron compared Riddle to Percy "in disgust", mentioning the former as being "Prefect, Head Boy...probably at the top of every class", Hermione responded in a "slightly hurt" voice, "You say that like it's a bad thing." Later on, she also correctly deduced that Riddle had "caught the wrong person", and that "''it was some other monster'' [not Hagrid's [[Acromantula]], [[Aragog]]] ''that was killing people''". Later on, after Harry mentioned "hearing the voice" again before the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, Hermione ran immediately to the Library to research, where realised that Slytherin's monster was a basilisk. Tearing the page out of the book, and putting it in her right hand, she left the Library, where she warned the first person she met, Penelope Clearwater, to look around corners with her mirror. However, both Hermione and Penelope were petrified by [[Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk]], which was controlled by Tom Riddle's memory. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[1995]], she learned that the Dark Lord had returned and supported Harry against the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry]]'s denial and smear campaign. She also fought in the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]] to prevent Voldemort from obtaining a vital [[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy|prophecy]], but was severely injured and rendered unconscious. In [[1997]], she left Hogwarts to help Harry and Ron find and destroy Voldemort's horcruxes. She personally destroyed [[Helga Hufflepuff's Cup]] using a [[Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk|basilisk]]'s fang. She later witnessed Harry's defeat of Voldemort in the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. |

| − | However, Hermione made very little direct contact with Voldemort, truly seeing him for the first time during the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]]. Possibly the closest connection Hermione and Voldemort shared was through the former wearing [[Salazar Slytherin's Locket]] whilst travelling with [[Harry Potter]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] in 1997. The [[Horcrux]] locket was worn by all three for regular, though limited, periods of time, inadvertently allowing the portion of soul within to access the wearer's thoughts, emotions and deepest fears. The Horcrux had learned enough about Hermione to use hers and Harry's likenesses in emotionally torturing Ron, reflecting Ron's deepest fears of Hermione preferring Harry to him. Because the Horcrux had become so disconnected from the once whole soul of [[Tom Riddle]], the physically bodied Voldemort was not aware of any of these events, nor of the information the Horcrux had gained dangling around the necks of Harry and his closest friends. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although they had very little direct contact, Hermione and Voldemort are sometimes similar: both are "''model students''" who achieved outstanding grades in NEWTS. Both were Prefects, although Voldemort was Head Boy while Hermione skipped school during what would have been her seventh year due to political persecution, preventing her from being Head Girl that year (it is possible that Hermione became Head Girl when she went back to finish her seventh year after Voldemort's final destruction). They both came from Muggle backgrounds, but Voldemort was raised in an orphanage while Hermione was brought up in a loving Muggle family. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Bellatrix Lestrange was one of [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]'s most fanatically loyal followers; Hermione initially knew her as one of the [[Death Eaters]] involved in torturing and permanently incapacitating [[Frank Longbottom|Frank]] and [[Alice Longbottom]], though she also witnessed Bellatrix murder [[Sirius Black]] at the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]], in [[1996]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the [[Skirmish at Malfoy Manor]], Bellatrix chose to torture Hermione, who, as a Muggle-born, Bellatrix felt was most dispensable (though, as a "''blood traitor,''" Ron Weasley was a close second), in order to discover where and how the trio had managed to acquire [[Godric Gryffindor's Sword]]. During the interrogation, Bellatrix used her knife to carve the word "''mudblood''" on Hermione's arm.<ref>{{DH|F}}</ref> Hermione later used one of Bellatrix's hairs obtained in the skirmish to make [[Polyjuice Potion]] and [[Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank (1998)|break into]] the [[Lestrange Vault]] at [[Gringotts Wizarding Bank]]. Hermione, [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny]], and [[Luna Lovegood|Luna]] duelled against Bellatrix during the final battle, but were made to stand aside by [[Molly Weasley]], who eventually killed Bellatrix herself. |

| − | [[File:Dumbledore%27s_Army.jpg|240x240px|thumb|left|[[Dumbledore's Army]], her allies]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Dumbledore's Army was essentially Hermione's brainchild, though she co-founded it with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and [[Harry Potter|Harry]] during the [[1995–1996 school year]]. After [[Dolores Umbridge]] informed her [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] students that they would not be using any magic, claiming a theoretical education would suffice, a furious Hermione (fearful of being ill-equipped to deal with the reborn [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] and the upcoming [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.]]s) conceived of the organisation as a means of allowing any student interested in actually practising defensive magic to do so. Though the secret classes were taught by Harry, Hermione arranged the initial meeting at the [[Hog's Head]], created the DA's method of covert [[Dumbledore's Army coin|communication]], and [[Dumbledore's Army parchment jinx|jinxed]] their member list to reveal any betrayal. |
||
| − | |||
| − | All of the DA members grew closer over the course of the year (with the exceptions of [[Marietta Edgecombe]], who betrayed the DA to Umbridge, and later [[Zacharias Smith]], who deserted them), as evidenced by their reunion in [[1997]], and their enthusiasm in supporting Harry and mobilising against the invading Death Eaters during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. Moreover, the DA truly cemented Hermione's friendships with [[Luna Lovegood]] and [[Neville Longbottom]], who were the only members, aside from [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]], to fight alongside Hermione, Harry, and Ron at the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]] and the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione's relationship with [[Cho Chang]] was two-sided; while Hermione gave Harry advice on how to build a successful relationship with Cho, Cho grew increasingly jealous of Harry's close friendship with Hermione, believing that the two of them were romantically involved. Because of this, Cho went into a dramatic and tear-filled departure from her date with Harry when he mentioned that he promised to meet with Hermione, who would later comment sadly on how Harry went the wrong way on telling Cho about the appointed meeting. When Cho attempted to insult Hermione for [[Dumbledore's Army parchment jinx|jinxing]] her friend [[Marietta Edgecombe]] for betraying DA, Harry defended her and in turn insulted Marietta. However, when Hermione returned to Hogwarts during the last stand against Voldemort, any negative feelings for each other seemed to have evaporated, as Cho welcomed the trio. |

||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:OotP.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The original [[Order of the Phoenix]], her allies]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione first heard about the Order of the Phoenix in 1995, when she, [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] spent several weeks at [[12 Grimmauld Place|the Order's headquarters]]. Through her time at Grimmauld Place, Hermione got to know [[Alastor Moody]], the most famous [[Auror]] of modern times, known for rounding up several [[Death Eaters]] after the [[First Wizarding War]] and for his growing paranoia. He and Hermione fought together in the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]], and later, in the [[Battle of the Seven Potters]], where Moody was killed by Voldemort's own hand. Hermione, like the rest of the Order, was shocked and horrified by the death of such a skilled Auror, "''the consummate survivor'',"<ref name="DH" /> and disgusted by [[Mundungus Fletcher]]'s desertion. Hermione, who had known Fletcher as a petty criminal who had stolen a number the Black family heirlooms shortly after [[Sirius Black]]'s death, aside from being a member of the Order, took part in interrogating Fletcher, when she, Harry and Ron realised [[Salazar Slytherin's Locket]] had been among the items stolen from Grimmauld Place. |
||
| − | Hermione had great respect for [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]], a skilled Auror and eventual [[Minister for Magic]], who was known as "Royal" on ''[[Potterwatch]]'', and who saved countless lives (including Hermione, Ron and Harry's) when he sent his [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]] to warn the attendees of [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|Bill and Fleur's wedding]] that the Ministry had fallen, and with it, the protections surrounding [[the Burrow]]. Another member of the Order responsible for saving the trio was [[Aberforth Dumbledore]], Albus' younger brother. Though Hermione, Harry and Ron had known him for some time as the owner of the [[Hog's Head|Hog's Head Pub]], they finally met him in [[1998]], just before the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], when he just barely managed to get them out a trap set by [[Death Eaters]]. Prior to that, he sent Dobby to rescue them, along with [[Dean Thomas]], [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Garrick Ollivander]] and [[Griphook]] the Goblin, from the [[Skirmish at Malfoy Manor|Malfoy Manor]]; as it turned out, Aberforth had acquired Sirius Black's [[two-way mirror]] from Mundungus Fletcher, and been keeping an eye out for Harry. |
||
| − | [[Nymphadora Tonks]], a funny, [[Metamorphmagus]] witch, who had become a good friend of Hermione's, died along with her husband and fellow member of the Order, [[Remus Lupin]], during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. As their son, [[Edward Lupin|Ted Lupin]], was Harry's godson and was also dating Hermione's niece, [[Victoire Weasley|Victoire]] by 2017, it's likely Hermione remained quite close to him. |

However, Hermione said Arithmancy was her favourite subject at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. She also never complained about Vector's strictness. During her [[third year]], Hermione joined her class and used a [[time-turner]] to get to one of the lessons<ref>{{POA|B|13}}</ref>. Then in her [[fourth year]], Hermione and the other students got no homework from Septima Vector on the first day of term<ref>{{GOF|B|13}}</ref> and she adamantly refused to skive Arithmancy<ref>{{GOF|B|20}}</ref>. |

| − | ==Etymology== |
||
| − | Rowling took Hermione's name from William Shakespeare's ''[[wikipedia:The Winter's Tale|The Winter's Tale]]'',<ref name="TNPC1999">[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/1999/1099-pressclubtransc.htm Transcript of National Press Club author's luncheon, NPR Radio, 20 October, 1999] ''Accio-quote.org'' Retrieved on 23 April 2007</ref> saying that she wanted it to be unusual, since if fewer girls shared her name, fewer girls would get teased for it.<ref name="TNPC1999" /> Rowling's knowledge and interest in Greek mythology may have also influenced her choice in regards to Hermione's name. In 1988, Rowling wrote a short essay about her time studying classics entitled ''"What was the Name of that Nymph Again? or Greek and Roman Studies Recalled";'' it was published by the University of Exeter's journal ''Pegasus''.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._K._Rowling#Childhood_and_education</ref> The name "Hermione" is derived from "Hermes", who was the messenger of the Greek gods, as well as the god of wit, eloquence and quick thinking. |
||
| − | [[File:Her1265.jpg|thumb|Hermione in her [[1996|sixth year]]]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Wikipedia:Hermione (mythology)|Hermione]] is also the name of another figure from Greek mythology, who was the princess of Sparta and the only daughter of Helen of Troy and King Menelaus. The name also appears in Jean-Baptiste Lully's play ''[[Wikipedia:Cadmus et Hermione|Cadmus et Hermione]]'', based on the story of the goddess of harmony, Harmonia, who married the founder of Thebes. |
||
| − | [[File:Hermione_Granger_reading_The_Daily_Prophet.jpg|170px|thumb|left|Hermione reading the ''[[Daily Prophet]]'']] |
||
| − | |||
| − | In order to ensure that fans could correctly pronounce Hermione's name, a scene was created between Hermione and Viktor Krum in {{GOF}} in which they discuss the correct pronunciation; however, the closest Krum got was "Herm-own-ninny." |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the [[The Last Will and Testament of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore|will]] of [[Albus Dumbledore]], Hermione's middle name was listed as "Jean;" however, in previous interviews, Rowling had stated that her middle name was "Jane." Rowling cleared this up in a later interview by stating that she had decided that she did not want Hermione to share a middle name with [[Dolores Umbridge|Professor Umbridge]], and thus changed it to Jean, which is a female variant of the name John, meaning "God is gracious."<ref name="Jean">[http://www.behindthename.com/name/jean-2 Behind the Name:Jean]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Wikipedia:Granger (name)|Granger]] is another word for farmer; specifically, it was the title of a farm bailiff, who oversaw the collection of rent and taxes from the barns of a feudal lord. It is a surname of English and French origin, derived from the Anglo-Norman ''grainger'' and the French ''grangier'', both of which come from Latin ''granica'', meaning "granary." It recalls Hermione's [[Muggle]] roots. Her original last name was "Puckle," but Rowling later decided this didn't suit her character. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hermione may be named after [[wikipedia:Clive_Granger|Sir Clive Granger]], a Nobel Prize-winning British economist who taught in Britain at the University of Nottingham and described the [[wikipedia:Granger_causality|"Granger causality"]]. Or possibly after Granger, one of the society of people who memorised books in ''Fahrenheit 451''. |

| − | *Hermione is portrayed by French-born [[Great Britain|British]] actress [[Emma Watson]] in the [[Harry Potter (film series)|film adaptations]] of ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'', ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|Chamber of Secrets]]'', ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)|Goblet of Fire]]'', ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|Order of the Phoenix]]'', ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|Half-Blood Prince]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1|Deathly Hallows: Part 1]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2|Part 2]]'' and is one of the 14 characters to appear in all 8 film adaptations. |

It's Harry Potter and a new-look Hermione: Cast set to star in highly-anticipated stage play is revealed]</ref> |
||
| − | *The reason of choosing such an uncommon name as Hermione for the character is because, according to Rowling, she did not bear getting any child mocked because of sharing a name with an "insufferable know-it-all" such as Hermione. |
||
| − | *[[Sophie Thompson]] plays Hermione when she is disguised as [[Mafalda Hopkirk]] in ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1|Deathly Hallows: Part 1]], ''as does [[Helena Bonham Carter]] when she is disguised as [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] in ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2|Deathly Hallows: Part 2]]''. [[Daniel Radcliffe]] also plays Hermione in the "Seven Potters" scene. However, Emma provided the voice for Hermione while she was in disguise on all three occasions. |
||
| − | *Although the novels describe Hermione as having rather large front teeth in her younger years, this is not depicted in the films, as Watson never had large teeth and couldn't speak when applied with bucked teeth. |
||
| − | *However, in an on-screen commentary for the Blu-Ray release of ''Philosopher's Stone'', reveals that the final scene of the film ''does'' show Hermione's large front teeth. According to Columbus, the scene - which was actually the first to be shot - was filmed with Emma Watson wearing fake teeth to simulate the look of Hermione, but that after filming the sequence it was decided to continue using them would have been impractical. Via edits, the appearance of Hermione's teeth is minimised, but they are still visible when she speaks in the scene. |
||
| − | *Also, Hermione's hair is only shown as bushy for the first film. Later, her hair is shown as wavy in the second film, and curly in the third film onwards, although it does briefly take on a bushy appearance for comedic effect during the potion-making contest sequence of the film ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''. |
||
| − | *Hermione's [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]], an [[Wikipedia:Otter|otter]], is Rowling's favourite animal. The otter is in the family ''Mustelidae'', the same as the weasel, although the latter do not live near water. |
||
| − | *Hermione is rendered Hermelien in Dutch and Hermine in German. They in turn are similar to the words Hermelijn in Dutch and Hermelin in German, which means Stoat, which is a species of Weasel. |
||
| − | *In {{DH}}, Hermione tells [[Rufus Scrimgeour]] that she is not planning to pursue career in Magical Law. Ironically, that's where she ends up after leaving Hogwarts, following a stint in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. |
||
| − | *In early drafts, Hermione was supposed to have [[Hermione Granger's sister|a Muggle sister]].<ref name="EBF" /> |
||
| − | *On several occasions - during their frequent bickering - Hermione is seen calling Ron by his full name to express her annoyance. Some examples include her squabble with Ron about [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]] (''"Ronald has lost his rat"''), and when they argue about Ron's sister [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny]] dating [[Dean Thomas]] ''("Honestly Ronald, they're just holding hands - and snogging"''). |
||
| − | *Hermione admitted to successfully trying out "a few simple spells" just before her [[first year]] at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]],<ref name="PS" /> but, in spite of [[underage magic]] being banned, she apparently never received a warning from the [[Improper Use of Magic Office]] for it. This may be because, since she had not yet attended Hogwarts as an official student, the Ministry overlooked it just as they overlooked when young [[Tom Riddle]] used magic before attending Hogwarts to move objects, help him climb down a steep cliff, etc.; and also as they overlooked when young [[Harry Potter|Harry]] made the glass of the boa constrictor cage disappear, made his own hair grow back to normal long length after [[Petunia Dursley|Aunt Petunia]] cut it, etc. Severus Snape indicated as much to Lily Evans when they were both children about Lily's own use of magic before she was a student. |
||
| − | *The screenwriter for {{COS|FA}}, [[Steve Kloves]] has said that Hermione is his favourite character, commenting: "There's something about her fierce intellect coupled with a complete lack of understanding of how she affects people sometimes that I just find charming and irresistible to write."<ref name="DVD" /> |
||
| − | *In {{COS|FA}}, Hermione is shown to be aware of what the term "[[Mudblood]]" means when [[Draco Malfoy]] uses the slur against her, whereas in the novel, she has never heard the word before and Ron explains its meaning to her and Harry. |
||
| − | *In {{COS}}, Professor Binns calls Hermione "Miss Grant." It is also made known that Binns calls everyone different names, with Binns also calling Harry Potter "Mr Perkins." |
||
| − | *Hermione's [[Boggart]] in her third year was [[Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] telling her that she had "failed everything," which Rowling later commented showed that "underneath Hermione's snootiness there is a lot of insecurity and a great fear of failure."<ref name="JKRHG" /> |
||
| − | *In {{GOF|FA}}, Hermione is shown to be wearing a pink set of dress robes rather than periwinkle blue, as in the novel. |
||
| − | *In {{HBP|FA}}, Hermione told [[Horace Slughorn|Slughorn]] and the Slug Club about her parents being [[dentist]]s, but no one, except Harry, knew what dentists were. |
||
| − | *Hermione shared a last name with potioneer [[Hector Dagworth-Granger]], though she informed [[Horace Slughorn]] that she did not think they were related, since she was [[Muggle-born]].<ref name="HBP" /> However, the theory that Muggle-borns have some sort of wizarding ancestry suggests Slughorn might be right about Hermione and Hector being related because every muggle-born must have had a [[Squib]] ancestor. |
||
| − | *In the [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1|film]] [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2|versions]] of {{DH}} Hermione appears to be wearing red dress robes to [[William Weasley|Bill]] and [[Fleur Delacour|Fleur]]'s wedding instead of lilac in the novel. |
||
| − | *In August [[1997]], Hermione was forced to separate from her cat, [[Crookshanks]], during the Death Eaters' attack on [[the Burrow]]. It is never mentioned if they ever reunited after the Second War ended. |
||
| − | *In {{DH}}, [[Harry Potter|Harry]] mentions that the only spell Hermione ever had trouble with was the [[Patronus Charm]], although she was among the first of the D.A. to master the spell and casts it successfully multiple times throughout the series. This may have something to do with the emotional nature of the spell; Harry, due to his inability to cut off his emotions, is particularly adept at this spell, while the logical Hermione has issues with it. It may also have something to do with the caster's self confidence as J.K. Rowling has stated that Hermione is afraid of failure and Harry's first powerful uses of the spell, at a Quidditch match and when he saved Sirius, seem more motivated by his confidence rather then a positive memory. |
||
| − | *In ''[[Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon|Harry, A History]]'', Rowling told [[Melissa Anelli]] that Steve Kloves had suspected something might happen between Hermione and Harry while reading {{DH}}: "He felt a certain pull between them at that point. And I think he's right. There are moments when [Harry and Hermione] touch, which are charged moments. One when she touches his hair as he sits on the hilltop reading about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and [two] the moment when they walk out of the graveyard with their arms around each other. Now the fact is that Hermione shares moments with Harry that Ron will never be able to participate in. He walked out. She shared something very intense with Harry. So I think it could have gone that way."<ref name="HAH" /> |
||
| − | *When asked, Rowling said that if Hermione looked into the [[Mirror of Erised]] in the summer of [[1997]], she would have seen herself, Harry, and Ron "alive and unscathed" and [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]] defeated, and might also "see herself closely entwined with [[Ronald Weasley|a special person]]."<ref>[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2006/0801-radiocityreading1.html 1 August 2006 Radio City Music Hall Interview]</ref> |
||
| − | *Initially, J.K. Rowling had stated that Hermione's middle name was "Jane." However, Rowling later changed it to "Jean" after deciding that she did not want Hermione to share a middle name with [[Dolores Umbridge]].<ref name="Jean" /> |
||
| − | *Hermione's [[Hermione Granger's wand|wand]] [[wand wood|wood]] of vine corresponds to her [[19 September|birthday]] in the Celtic calendar, which Rowling did intentionally as a connection between Hermione's wand, [[Harry Potter's wand|Harry's wand]], and [[Ronald Weasley's first wand|Ron's wand.]]<ref>"[http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=18 Extra Stuff: Wands]" at {{JKRS}}</ref> In the Celtic calendar, the vine was a symbol of passionate emotions in both extremes—happiness and wrath — and was connected to fulfilling goals and finding balance.<ref>[http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/moonphasemagic/tp/Celtic_Tree_Months.htm About.com: Celtic Tree Months]</ref> |
||
| − | *In the Harry Potter books, Hermione has brown hair, but in the films she has more of a light brown. |
||
| − | *Hermione's surname was 'Puckle', in early drafts of Harry Potter. It was later changed to Granger. |
||
| − | *In {{DH|F1}}, Hermione is shown leaving her parents house, however this is only ever mentioned in the books. |
||
| − | *In ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Video Game]]'' for PC, Peeves refers to Hermione as "Grunge." He always uses the last names for his insulting versions in the games, producing: Potter = Potty, Weasley = Weasel, and Granger = Grunge. |
||
| − | *Emma Watson says that her favourite scene during the film series is the Yule Ball sequence in the fourth film, just like Rupert Grint. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *In the books, several times Ron and Hermione repeat phrases said by one another; for example, when Hermione, in {{PS}}, wanted to produce fire in order to destroy the Devil's Snare, Ron tells her: "Are you a witch or not?" meaning that they could make fire by their wands. During the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], Ron expressed regret for not having Crookshanks there to stop the Whomping Willow and Hermione told him, "Are you a wizard or not?" leading Ron to levitate a stick into the tree's weak spot. Furthermore, during the [[Battle of the Seven Potters]], Tonks said Ron was amazing, having defeated many Death Eaters. When Hermione looked surprised, Ron said:"Always that tone of surprise." Hermione says the same thing when Ron told her she was very beautiful, during Bill and Fleur's wedding. |
||
| − | *Hermione cries in seven of the eight films: |
||
| − | **First film: After Ron insulted her by saying she has no friends because she's a nightmare and she hides in the girls' bathroom. |
||
| − | **Second film: When she, her friends and the other students cheer for Hagrid after he returns to Hogwarts from Azkaban at the end of the film. |
||
| − | **Third film: When she, Harry and Ron saw Buckbeak's apparent execution. |
||
| − | **Fourth film: After Ron ruined her night at the Yule Ball |
||
| − | **Sixth film: When Ron started having a relationship with Lavender Brown and when Dumbledore died. |
||
| − | **Seventh film: When Ron abandoned her and Harry during the Horcrux hunt and after Bellatrix has interrogated her and carved the word 'Mudblood' on her arm with [[Bellatrix Lestrange's knife|her knife]]. |
||
| − | **Eighth film: When she is worried about Harry going into the [[Forbidden Forest]] to have Voldemort kill him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Hermione was also seen trying not to cry in the second film after Draco Malfoy called her a filthy little Mudblood since she was aware of the term, which contradicts the events of the novel in which she doesn't know what the word 'Mudblood' means until Ron explains it to her and Harry. This means that the only film adaptation that Hermione doesn't cry in is the fifth film. |
||
| − | *In {{DH|F1}}, Hermione is shown to be able to play the piano, which she attempts to teach [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] to do while at Grimmauld Place. |
||
| − | *In {{DH|F1}}, Bellatrix Lestrange uses her knife to carve the word "Mudblood" into Hermione's arm during her interrogation. This was not inscribed in the book, but was an idea that Emma Watson came up with, along with Helena Bonham Carter. |
||
| − | *In {{LEGO|Y1}}, Hermione has the ability to control [[Crookshanks]] and translate ancient runes since first year, rather than third year. |
||
| − | *In {{GOF|FA}}, Hermione snaps at Harry when he tells her to give a message to Ron, saying "I'm not an owl." An owl is used for carrying messages, but her name, Hermione, drives from Hermes, the Greek messenger of the gods. |

| − | Rowling has also stated that, from a feminist point of view, she is very proud of Hermione. In her words, Hermione does not "play the game" in refusing to sacrifice parts of herself as she grows from a girl to a woman. Hermione never makes Ron "feel better" by pretending to be less than she is; she always preserves who she is and waits for Ron to catch up. In general, Rowling regards her as a heroine, but isn't sexy nor entirely sexless, but a "real girl." |
||

| − | Rowling admitted in an interview conducted by Emma Watson for the magazine ''Wonderland'' in February of 2014 that, with hindsight, she initially had some second thoughts on the suitability of Ron as a partner for Hermione and believes that in some ways, Harry might have made a better romantic partner for her: |
||
| − | :''"I wrote the Hermione-Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfilment. That's how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione [ended up] with Ron."'' |
||
| − | She went on to say that she found the attraction itself plausible, but that the combative side of it might cause problems in an adult relationship as there was too much fundamental incompatibility. However, according to Rowling, they could "probably be alright" with a bit of marriage counselling, and Ron needed to work on his self-esteem issues while Hermione needed to learn to be less critical. She concluded with the statement that just like herself, the uptight Hermione had a real weakness for a funny man. Ultimately, Rowling stated she had no regrets putting them together and stated the two balanced each other out and trully love one another.<ref>[http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrint-wonderland-020714.shtml February 2014 Interview with ''Wonderland'']</ref> |

Revision as of 15:11, 16 June 2018
irst off I'm a 29 year old man. Had to say it right away for your consideration as it pisses me off personally when I'm reading a long post, mistakenly thinking it's a woman and am not interested in reading something from a man.
ANYWAY, I was drunkenly browsing older threads and made a long-winded response to a younger man asking how to handle a girlfriend that wants it rough. But this thread was old enough that likely no one is reading anymore. Since I spent a good 15 minutes pondering and writing it, I didn't want it to go to waste so I thought I'd start a thread for it as the contents have served me well in my own sex life over the years. I also think there is a demand for practical experience in this regard. So the following are some of the milder things I enjoy. Here's the post:
Source: I was severely physically abused as a child (beaten bloody with unraveled wire hangers and other objects, but not sexually abused), and I'm pretty sure it caused me to become an avowed sadomasochist. In a weird way, I'm glad it happened because I feel like it's added a "fourth dimension" to sex that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to enjoy. I'll describe some of the more mild "sadist" activities that I enjoy below, although personally I also like being on the receiving end with with some stuff, biting for example. For whatever reason, women biting men HARD is hot but men biting women is just not cool.
Hair pulling for sure. The vast majority of women I've been with have been into this, even normal women, and I love doing it. One woman would even climax almost on command if she was getting close upon pulling hair (could have been faking, but it really didn't seem like it.) It felt like pulling the trigger on some sort of orgasm gun, and those were among the most satisfying moments of my life so far.....Anyway, pull at the base of the hair close to her head and grab it in a big bunch (as you don't want to pull her hair out.) Is especially good from behind. Grab the hair with your dominant hand and put your off hand on her stomach and just wildly pull her into your thrusting. In this way you can use your legs AND arms for leverage. Fuck the shit out of her.
Slapping. Ass only to start with. If she seems into it, do it HARDER and LOUDER. Once you learn to cup your hand the right way, you can get whipcrack sonic boom ass slap skills, which can be quite satisfying for both parties involved. Works best with Alexis Texas style huge fat asses.
You can go into a multitude of directions from there. Personally, I like slapping her ass repeatedly, and hard enough that it goes slightly too far and makes her want to fight back, so I switch to a (RARE FOR ME) missionary position while we look into each others eyes as she slaps and/or punches me in the face (I keep smacking her ass HARD and/or squeezing it with the same voracity.) I have seen quite a few women go into a sexual frenzy at this point. I remember one young woman (and young man) when we were both around 24 and she was hit by a drop of sweat from my face. So she licked the whole side of my face, Rick James style and wanted me to suck on her tongue because she wanted to feel like she was fucking me somehow with her mouth while I was penetrating her with my dick. I still love to think about that particular time and will continue to do so until I'm dead. Keep in mind, I do realize that I'm fucked up, but recognizing what I like and acting on it makes my life so much more satisfying.
Choking is something I can't in good conscience recommend to anyone as it's just too risky in my opinion. What I will do though is grab her lower face with one hand such that part of my hand is on her jaw and part on her neck without putting pressure on her neck. I'm putting most of the squeeze pressure on either side of her jaw so it's a very firm grip and I have her head tightly constricted in one hand. This way, I can periodically turn her head to lean in for a sloppy kiss. Sometimes I put my fingers in her mouth and she seems to love it, mimicking a blowjob.
Anal What I like to do is put some fingers into her vagina with one hand while periodically smacking her ass HARD with the other while being eye to eye the entire time. If she seems to like it, I put another finger in her ass and drag along the tissue inside back and forth, rubbing my fingers together on the upper wall of her vagina opposed with the finger in her ass, with that ass/vagina barrier in between like a piece of fabric. My previously ass-smacking hand is squeezing her waist/tits/pulling her head back for a kiss/whatever. At that point (or at any point of course), if she's like, "WTF" and/or "STOP" and/or "GET THE FUCK OFF ME", then you stop. If she seems into it, it usually means your dick in her ass is impending and she's ok with that. Use lube. Don't go back to the vagina anytime this session.
The key is to be all brute masculinity. None of the activities I've recommended have I ever planned out initially. I just let myself go and did whatever I felt like doing, and that's just what I liked to do, and whoever I was with at the time apparently was into receiving it. Tap into your own hormonal, animal self and go nuts. Not ALL women will like everything you want to do and of course no means no, but in my own experience if you're both behaving passionately enough together and it's easy to tell when this is the case, almost anything goes. Just don't do anything she isn't signalling she is ok with (verbally or otherwise), and don't do anything that causes real physical pain to her for the time being. She will likely let you know, one way or another, if she wants to amp it up.
TLDR In my personal experience and sample size, most women want to get the SHIT FUCKED OUT OF THEM and most real men want to oblige, so embrace that and enjoy some wild sex. Propriety needs to take a back seat to the two of you smashing yourselves together in a creative sexual endeavor. (IN B4 someone accuses me of being homophobic by saying "real men." or only speaking of acts performed by men on women. That is simply my only experience to go by and I mean "real men" in the sense that "real men" go at their partner sexually with the utmost enthusiasm, that's all. Sorry...I just felt it coming.)
PS Watch her mouth and her eyes. They usually tell you everything you need to know.
